Cafe Conti - Located in the Prince Conti Hotel. Open everyday from 7- 3 serving French and Creole inspiried breakfast and lunch. We are deff breakfast fanatics.

Lastly, The beignets. If you go to NOLA and don’t get beignets…did you even really go?
Cafe Du Monde - Originally fried fritters filled with fruit. Today, what we all know and love, beignets are a square piece of dough, fried, topped with powdered sugar. Served in threes. This is a STAPLE of New Orleans. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. There is always a line out the door and there is powdered sugar EVERYWHERE.
