Thankfully so, this is not the case of the Cafe Du Monde located at 800 Decatur Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. This quaint coffee shop has not changed much since its historical establishment, which makes it a daily stop for locals and those staying in the area.
What makes this establishment immensely interesting is its simplicity. Serving only black or Au Lait coffee and chickory, French beignets, white or chocolate milk, and fresh orange juice, this cafe maintains southern and international charm with one swift pour of fresh coffee. Additionally, the Cafe Du Monde is open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week with the exception of Christmas or the occasional hurricane--something that drastically sets it apart from other coffee shops. Those who cannot get enough of this cafe are able to sign up for its Coffee Club, which sends its members gifts each month.
Historically, this cafe is part of the original New Orleans French Market. Constructed in 1862, the cafe still maintains the original menu. This coffee stand has certainly grown in customer base, which further validates the importance of sustaining tradition.
For those who cannot travel to France and decide to partake in traditional French elements in the states, it is urged to visit the many shops and museums on Decatur Street located in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Of course, when you are in need of the best coffee and beignets around, visiting the Cafe Du Monde will grant you those and a serving of history, too. Enjoy this wonderful cafe that is near tons of other popular tourist activities in the area. Book your New Orleans, Louisana vacation package today.
