Cafe Au Lait

A New Orleans Must Experience!

Cafe Au Lait with Beignets in the French Quarter is a New Orleans must experience.

Tourists wait in line in the French Quarter at Cafe du Monde to sample the wonderful flavor of this coffee treat accompanied with warm beignets, a french pastry.

The bitter and sweet combination of the coffee and the pastry with its powered sugar topping is indescribably delicious!

The secret of this coffee drink is the chicory in the coffee.
