Cafe Du Monde

Here is a page from the best cafe in New Orleans. The coffee is called Chickory and it's good and strong. They don't serve cream, but hot milk. I think it's something like an Americano. The beignets are little fried doughnuts covered in powdered sugar. They sell the coffee and beignet mix in all the shops around the French Quarter. The cafe is open air, and about the only coffee shop in town (open 24 hours). The wait staff are primarily Asian. There isn't anything on the menu besides coffee and beignets, so that it's printed on the napkin holders.

I had this scrapbooking kit from a party I went to with a pink, blue and brown color scheme. I really like the combination, but I don't have much to go with that, so when I was looking at my memorabilia from the N.O. trip I had saved the paper bag from Du Monde (lower left corner) and saw it was pink and green, close enough to use the papers. Boy14's hairstyle is described as Wake and Shake.

Late correction: Their regular coffee is like Americano. The one with milk is Cafe Au Lait. I got that from enlarging the photo and reading the blurb I cut out of a tourist guide.

I totally dig Boy14's wake and shake hair.

I would splurge on beignets if I went to New Orleans or France. There's a New Orlean's restaurant nearby and i've had their beignets once and are delicious!

Cute layout!
