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!

This is located inside the outlet mall. There is also an entrance from outside on the Riverwalk. The staff are not friendly and the service is not that great.

I am hooked with beignets from cafe Du monde I have purchased them everyday in New Orleans and from every location I passed by. They are hot fresh crispy outside and chewy and soft inside and they are not super sweet I love them.

Froid café au lait is a little bit too sweet and server is so impatient, but I love the beignets here!

The coffee and food were delicious. But as someone who hasn't had beignets before and came for the highly recommendations.. to hear some guests complaining to staff/manager about the dough not being consistent, I'm not sure if I've reached the peek of worlds best. 🤭 But overall it was a great experience.

Less sweet than I expected. Some people may be get disappointed, but we can just enjoy here as a famous local spot to visit.

If you visit our favorite Mardi Gras Destination, New Orleans, LA be sure to hit up Café Du Monde and get the best beignets in the city, a pillowy fried dough concoction.

Maybe I just don’t like beignets… maybe these sucked. Couldn’t really decide, couldn’t bring myself to try more other places.
Service was lax at best. Food was not very enjoyable, but again, that may just be me. I wouldn’t really say this is a must if you’re in the area. But… when in Rome… worth a shot maybe.

Excellent experience, go visit. Even if there is a long line it moves very quickly!!! It was a nice short visit and the bengies were great!!!

Love it,no line. Very few items on the menu but it’s all about the experience.

Omg really?? This place is run down and filthy!! The people behind the counter couldn't have been any router or unhelpful. Seriously I know you work there and know your products well but I'm a first time visitor.. I asked a simple question on coffee size and you would have thought I asked for the world. Beignets were decent, nothing special in my opinion. The coffee was good, very unique flavor. The man when I say the place was filthy it was a wreck! Not for me, never again..
