Café Du Monde Riverwalk
500 Port of New Orleans Pl, Gretna, LA
Crema's Take
“This Riverwalk location captures the soul of the iconic Café Du Monde without the brutal wait times of the flagship, serving up their legendary fluffy beignets dusted with powdered sugar alongside rich, smooth coffee in a lively atmosphere with upbeat music. It's the perfect spot if you want the authentic New Orleans experience—fresh pastries and decaf options too—but actually want to enjoy your time without camping in line, and the friendly, efficient service makes it ideal for a quick grab or lingering conversation with friends and family.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Cash only.
