Café Du Monde French Market
New Orleans, LA
From collectors
The Original Café Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The café is a traditional coffee shop. Its menu consists of dark roasted Coffee and Chicory, Beignets, White and Chocolate Milk, and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. The coffee is served Black or Au Lait. Au Lait means that it is mixed half and half with hot milk. Beignets are square French-style doughnuts, lavishly covered with powdered sugar.
Hours of operation: 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Closed only on Christmas Day and on the day an occasional Hurricane passes too close to New Orleans.
No on-site parking.
The two penny machines are outside in the patio, side by side under the green and white striped awning, against the wall of the restaurant.
