A Story Worth Knowing.
A New Orleans Original
The original Café du Monde coffee stand opens in the New Orleans French Market.
Some products are remembered for their flavor. Others become part of a place. Café du Monde has become both.
The original coffee stand opened in the New Orleans French Market in 1862 and became known for a remarkably simple experience: dark-roasted coffee with chicory, café au lait, and square French-style doughnuts covered in powdered sugar.
