Café Du Monde Riverwalk: A New Orleans Icon
Café Du Monde Riverwalk is a satellite location of the iconic Café Du Monde, which has been serving beignets and café au lait since 1862. Located at 500 Port of New Orleans Pl, New Orleans, LA 70130, this coffee shop is a must-visit for tourists and locals alike.
The café is open seven days a week, with slightly different hours on Sundays. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the service is fast. The café is located inside the outlet mall, but there is also an entrance from outside on the Riverwalk.
The beignets are the star of the show, and they are served fresh and hot. A typical order consists of three beignets, which are golden brown and covered with tons of powdered sugar. They are sweet and delicious, and they pair perfectly with the café's signature café au lait. The coffee is unique and has a distinct flavor due to the addition of chicory.
The atmosphere at Café Du Monde Riverwalk is lively and bustling. The café is always busy, but the staff does an excellent job of moving people in and out quickly without being pushy. The jazz group out on the street adds to the wonderful breakfast experience.
While some customers have complained about the service and the cleanliness of the café, most agree that the beignets are worth the visit. The café is cash-only, so be sure to bring some cash with you.
If you are in New Orleans, Café Du Monde Riverwalk is a must-visit. The beignets are excellent, the coffee is unique, and the atmosphere is lively. Don't miss out on this New Orleans icon!

The beignets were not fresh. The beignets were hard and over fried. It was a nerve racking experience ordering the beignets. The Asian ladies working behind the counter seemed to be arguing and fighting with one another. It was off-putting maybe that's why the beignets were not the usual quality that I am used to buying from the Cafe Du Monde.

Cafe Du Monde have been making beignets more than 100 years at the French quarter since Cafe Du Monde have become popular in the city they expand it including in the Outlet at Riverwalk. The beignets are nice and warm from the fryer and coffee make fresh. They also sell souvenir at the store.

Went during the off-season- zero line! Beignets are essentially cannoli made by Americans in the south though so...hype was exaggerated, but still tasty.

Amazing coffee and beignets! Quick line with a small menu so it was easy to order. ~2 beignets per person was a good amount as they were big. Coffee I’d say get a medium because I still wanted more! I’d come back. The ambiance was nice, lots of seating and you can go outside to the board walk too.

Beignets we’re very doughy and weren’t fresh at all.
Coffee good and hot but too hot 🥵.

You get 3 per order, and they are fairly large! Crunchy on the outside, airy on the inside! Basically, it tastes like a funnel cake! Delicious!

I have never been treated so rude by a server and so sad that it was in this iconic cafe. Dirty tables, POUR SERVICE. I was on my way to the table when the server started yelling menú here, order now! I didn’t even have time to seat or read anything she said order now or I’ll come back in 30 minutes…

You can not visit New Orleans without having delicious hot beignets and Café au Lait while enjoying the Jazz Street band.

Everyone told me I had to try the beignets from Cafe du Monde. We waited in a very long line but were not disappointed! I even bought 3 boxes of the mix to bring back home. The beignets were super fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside. It was more filling than we thought, but overall, it was a great experience.
