Café du Monde (Coffee of the World) is a coffeehouse located in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. It is a famous landmark and tourist attraction in the city.
There is also a Café du Monde in Shreveport, Louisiana, and one on Bourbon Street in the New Orleans Casino Hotel. The original location is at 800 Decatur Street.
The business began as a coffee stand opened by French immigrant Pierre DuMonde (1810–1886) on Decatur Street in 1862. The building was destroyed by fire on April 14, 1918; however, it was rebuilt using salvaged materials from other buildings. It has been owned by the Tolin family since 1932.
In 1946,[5] the restaurant was purchased by Fred Wolfe, whose father-in-law had been the manager of the business since 1914. In 1947, he added beignets to the morning menu and “dressed them up” with powdered sugar. The café’s maple syrup sales have been credited with helping to save sugar cane farmers after Hurricane Betsy in 1965.
Café Du Monde is a French-style coffeehouse located in the heart of the historic French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. With its decadent beignets and hot chocolate, it is a popular destination for both tourists and residents of New Orleans.
Café Du Monde has been in business since 1862 and is still located on the same block in the French Quarter. Their coffee is prepared from coffee beans shipped directly from Jamaica, ground to order, and brewed in large copper kettles.
