The Original Cafe Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The Cafe is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It closes only on Christmas Day. The Original Cafe Du Monde is a traditional coffee shop. Its menu consists of dark roasted Cofee and Chicory, Beignets, White and Chocolate Milks and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. The coffee is served black or Au Lait. Beignets are square French- style doughnuts, lavishly covered with powdered sugar. In 1988 Iced Coffee and Soft Drinks also made their debut that year.
