What travelers say:
Huge lines during the day, but we went at 7 am on a Monday and were almost the only ones there. It was actually quite relaxing that way and we walked along Victoria Square in the early morning light with few tourists. I highly recommend! The beignets of course were great, and warm!

The famous French donuts! Although I don't like sweet food, I still came to try it. The hot donuts were full of powdered sugar, and they fell off as I ate them. I think it would be a good choice to drink a cup of coffee to relieve the greasiness (although I ordered orange juice). You can ask the waiter for a paper bag to pack up the donuts you can't finish, so you don't have to force yourself to finish them.
Before I went to New Orleans, a friend told me that I must go to Cafe Du Monde to experience the coffee and desserts there. We went there on the first day in New Orleans. It was easy to find, right in front of Jackson Square, and it looked like a food stall with a very obvious sign. It is said that except for Christmas, this shop has been open 24 hours a day for more than a hundred years, and it is always full of guests. The coffee and desserts here are not expensive, the latte tastes pure, and the donuts are also delicious. Although the guests here come and go, it still feels like sitting here and drinking coffee has a sense of historical vicissitudes.
The coffee here has an old French flavor and has become a famous local attraction. A coffee and a beignet are part of the set meal. There are all kinds of eye-catching things nearby: on the left is the cathedral where the Pope once visited, and on the right are street performers with various talents. The small block of several hundred meters is full of all kinds of unexpected excitement!
The bagels were pretty good. The waiter seemed very friendly but a little tired. A saxophone player stood on a stool outside and played elegant atmosphere music. But the place is really run down and feels old. After visiting once, I don't need to come back. Cheap food.

When you come to New Orleans, this is the place you must go to line up and walk! Although the line is long, it actually flows quickly, there are a lot of takeouts and the place is very large. After establishing a foothold in the French Quarter in 1862, it is open 24 hours a day, no sleep! Come here to sit down, order a cup of caffe au lait and a fresh French beignets, covered with powdered sugar like snow. The surrounding finished products are all sold. This place has become a landmark in New Orleans. No matter how the food tastes, it is still very interesting to come here to experience it, sit down for a while and chat with friends~
