Café du Monde’s most recognizable coffee combines dark-roasted coffee with roasted chicory root. Chicory adds body and depth to the brew while softening some of the sharper bitterness associated with a dark roast. The result is a bold but comforting cup with earthy, nutty, and almost chocolate-like notes.
Chicory coffee became closely associated with New Orleans and eventually developed into a regional tradition rather than simply an alternative to ordinary coffee. Café du Monde uses a blend of four parts coffee to one part chicory, and the coffee is roasted and packaged in New Orleans.
Traditionally, it is served café au lait—equal parts hot coffee and hot milk. The milk mellows the strong roast and creates the perfect companion for a plate of powdered-sugar beignets.

Bring a Little Sweet Contraband to the Gift Box
At Gift With a Story, we look for products that turn an ordinary gift into something memorable. Caramel Kitchen does that with rich flavor, small-batch care, and plenty of old-fashioned indulgence.
Their caramel sauces are made for drizzling over coffee, ice cream, pancakes, fruit, and desserts—or enjoying straight from the spoon when no one is looking. They add a warm, buttery sweetness that fits naturally into our Prohibition-inspired collections.
During the dry years, not every guilty pleasure came in a bottle. Sometimes the real contraband was a hidden jar of caramel, a late-night dessert, and a sweet little secret worth keeping from the rest of the household.
