Cafe Du Monde
Welcome to Cafe Du Monde, a beloved gem nestled within the heart of the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner, Louisiana. Known worldwide for its iconic beignets and rich coffee, this quaint cafe brings a slice of New Orleans' vibrant culinary scene to travelers eager to start (or end) their journey with a taste of something truly special.
The menu is elegantly simple yet delightful, featuring the classic and irresistible Iced Café Au Lait at just US$5.43 and the rich and creamy Iced Mocha priced at US$6.99. While the focus here is on these signature drinks, the true star of the show is undoubtedly the iconic beignet. Though patrons may have differing opinions, many rave about the deliciousness of these powdered sugar-dusted pastries—a true New Orleans staple.
The ambience is casual and vibrant, with a grab-and-go setup perfect for the bustling airport atmosphere. As noted by customers like Meek Cuff and A J, service is swift and friendly, making it an ideal stop for those in a rush. However, be prepared to savor these delights on the go, as seating is limited. Whether it's a sweet farewell to the Big Easy or a quick indulgence before boarding, Cafe Du Monde captures the essence of New Orleans in a few blissful bites.
Customer testimonials speak volumes about the experience. Sam Root calls it a "legendary" spot, while others, like STLA_1020, echo that it may not match the original location, yet it provides that essential taste of home. Even if your only chance to visit is at the airport, the familiarity of the chicory coffee is a comforting reminder of the culinary treasure that New Orleans represents.
For those who want to take a piece of this experience home, Cafe Du Monde also offers a small but delightful selection from their company store, including the famous Beignet Mix, Can Coffee & Chicory, and stylish souvenirs like the Green Café Apron. It’s a chance to recreate a taste of New Orleans wherever you are.
Whether you’re rushing to catch a flight or just looking for a sweet treat, Cafe Du Monde at the airport is a convenient and delightful way to experience a slice of New Orleans culture. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in their famous beignets, and as many customers suggest, make sure to grab that chicory coffee for an authentic taste of Louisiana. No matter what you choose, rest assured that this iconic cafe will leave you with sweet memories and perhaps a craving to return.
