Cafe Dumonde may be touristy but it is the best…If i had to pick a 2nd place in the french qtr i'd say Cafe Beignet on Decatuer
Cafe Du Monde is the place to go that is all they make and what they are known for. Many visitors belive beginets are sold all over but they are not sold everywhere like a bagel would be in New York but you can find some other places who have tried to imitate Cafe Du Monde's success.
Heck I am local and Cafe Du Monde is where I go…just get them to go at the to go window and eat them while you walk or by the riverfront. Just watch the powder!
Sorry, unless you're going into some old lady's kitchen to have them homemade, then Cafe Du Monde is the only place to go.
And besides, the ambiance of the spot in the French Quarters is the only reason to go. I am a native New Orleanian and I only go to that one, or the one in Oakwood mall.
cafe' du monde is the best place to get your beignets, just get them to go and some coffee too, and go to jackson square to eat them, don't forget your blanket! and just set and people watch and enjoy!
lucky. =) i went to new orleans one year for voodoofest. it was a blast. Cafe Du Monde is the best place for beignets.. especially at 3am… when there's NOBODY there. =)
have fun!
The Morning Call used to be in the French Quarter but moved to Metairie in the 1970s. They have the same type beignets & coffee as Cafe Du Monde.
3325 Severn Ave
Metairie, LA 70002-3439
Phone: (504) 885-4068
Note that Metairie is a suburb of New Orleans and not close to downtown.
Cafe Beignet is the place…bgmack1 is right…i always eat breakfast there when im in the City!!!!!!
Unfortunately, the best place to get beignets is not at any restaurant but my brother-in-law's in Covington. Just drive to Covington, across the causeway, ask for Baldwin's house, and then beg him to make his awesome Bouyet Beignets. They are awesome and he might treat you with some chocolate chips surprise inside! Can't get that at no cafe du monde.
is there any other place to get them?
I wouldn't try
Morning Call is the other place for real beignets; they moved out from the Quarters to the suburbs (Metairie) about 30 years ago. Morning Call sure ain't touristy!
