Café du Monde is a historic coffee stand operating since 1862, famous for its delicious French-style beignets and chicory coffee. Located in the historic French Market, it's open almost 24/7. Beignets are square fried doughnuts generously covered in powdered sugar, served in orders of three for $4.53. The café au lait is made with New Orleans traditional chicory coffee blend. An essential experience for every visitor to the city.
