I couldn't find the prior thread either...Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Cafe du Monde, however, having been to NOLA 15-20 times I don't have the need to suffer through the human masses there (Cafe du MOnde) when I can actually enjoy breakfast elsewhere. + I don't drink coffee & the beignets elsewhere are just as good. Cafe Beignet is a little hole in the wall that serves a reasonably priced breakfast, has good beignets & is frequented primarily by locals. It is rarely busy (Sundays being the exception)& it is an enjoyable somewhat sedate place to escape for breakfast away from the tourist hub-bub.

I think there's an outpost of Cafe DuMonde in the Riverwalk. I realize that it wouldn't have the same ambience of the original, but does anyone know how it compares in terms of the taste of the beignets?

I just got my copy of Southern Living yesterday & it mentions Cafe Beignet in it as well as Cafe DuMonde.
There was also a Cafe Du Monde in Lakeside & Esplanade Malls in Metairie/ Kenner. Guess they're still there. I have had beignets in the NO airport & they all taste the same. It's the atmosphere that differs.
