Cafe Du Monde Esplanade Mall - Kenner

While in New Orleans I had to have Beignets. Kenner location rude staff cafe dirty staff talking and laughing. Beignets were good but could not enjoy it because of dirty windows floor and tables, on top of no smiles.

While waiting for a gift to be engraved at another store in the mall, I decided to grab some beignets to pass the time. They cook the beignets to order, I guess because there isn’t much traffic in the mall. I thought “yay, fresh beignets.” I ordered 2 orders of beignets and 2 bottled waters and paid over $20! How is that right!?! Anywho, we grabbed a table and waited a few minutes. I happened to look over and see a tray on the counter with beignets and vaguely heard someone say order up. I mean, I give you over $20 and no one can bring my order to the table? There were 3 people working. One was cooking beignets and the other 2, well were not doing anything. The beignets were hot but didn’t taste good at all. I think they were over-cooked because they were a bit dry. It was disappointing, but I shouldn’t have been surprised based on the lack of service.

I love the pillow aoftness of a warm benet and a cup of that amazing coffee. The staff coulda been a bit more accommodating and perhaps cracked a smile or two.

The place is inside the mall. It is very clean and specious. The quality of beignet is very good and it is delicious. The staff is awesome and helpful. Kid friendly and handicap friendly too.

Same food quality like the one in New Orleans downtown area but much quieter here. Much shorter line. Staff was super nice. We came on the new year day and there was nobody here.
