A Photo Essay of Cafe Du Monde, New Orleans


By Chrysanthemum (Visit website)



Cafe du Monde, New Orleans

Cafe du Monde was my anchor in New Orleans, in three short days I ate beignets 5 times, once at 2:30am in morning (why not? they are open 24 hours) The beignets aka French style fried doughnuts are heavily dosed in powder sugar. In addition to a cafe au lait it was a great snack, pick-me-up or cause-I-feel-like-it.

The beignets have a crispy exterior and some are doughier or lighter, it is never uniform. I think it gives the beignets a more homemade feel, although they must pump out thousands every day. I am crazy about the beignets because there are nuisance of the Chinese Ox tongue pastry. A medley of oily, sweet with a pinch of salty.

Assembly Line

Cafe Du Monde established in 1862 does not need an introduction. There was plenty of locals and tourist. I loved everything about the experience -- the table service with the servers in Cafe du Monde hats and bow ties, mostly Vietnamese ladies when I was visiting, the hustle and bustle of customers, echoes of chatter, and children with powder sugar smeared all over their face and hands.

I think a photo essay of the experience is in order:

Cafe du Monde, New Orleans - beignets at 2:30am
2:30am snack. My mirror said this is "why" Snow White is the fairest.

I bought a couple of beignet box mix as gifts and 2 for myself. I am going to try to recreate the beignets but I think the atmosphere makes the experience.

Depending on my mood, I like to use Cafe du Monde, Trung Nguyen or the paper bag French roast varieties from the Asian market when I make my Vietnamese Coffee.
