800 Decatur Street New Orleans, LA , 70116-3306 Phone: (504) 587-0832 Website The Original Café Du Monde Coffee Stand was established in 1862 in the New Orleans French Market. The café is a traditional coffee shop. Its menu consists of dark roasted Coffee and Chicory, Beignets, White and Chocolate Milk, and fresh squeezed Orange Juice. The coffee is served Black or Au Lait. Au Lait means that it is mixed half and half with hot milk. Beignets are square French-style doughnuts, lavishly covered with powdered sugar.
Hours of operation: 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Closed only on Christmas Day and on the day an occasional Hurricane passes too close to New Orleans.

The two penny machines are outside in the patio, side by side under the green and white striped awning, against the wall of the restaurant.
