There are three Cafe Du Monde but the one on Decatur Street is open 24 hours a day
The Cafe (Cafe Du Monde) is located @ 800 Decatur Street and is open 24 hours a day, everyday except for Christmas Day. The other two listings for the Cafe Du Monde on Decatur street are Cafe Du Monde company stores (Gift Shops). Grandad's General Store located @ 813 Decatur St. and is open everyday 8:30am to 5pm. And Uncle Wilbur's Emporium located @ 1039 Decatur St. also open everyday 8:30am to 5pm. Both Cafe Du Monde company stores are closed Easter and Christmas Day.
It was closed on Christmas day, and reopened on the 26th at 6am.
I've never witnessed it being closed
The 8am - 8pm hours posted are correct for the Decatur St location now. The signs said they were open 24 hrs, but it was closed and locked and there was a laminated sign posted on the door saying 8-8 when I stopped on my way out of town at ~4:30 am. I was looking forward to the beignets and coffee for my drive and was very disappointed!
Ok it's closed one time a year ok everyone. one day in a year and one time in band camp I
Yes the Cafe Du Monde is closed on Christmas, it even says so on their website, BUT it should also be pointed out it closes early on Christmas Eve (6pm) and reopens the day after Christmas at 5am. I think the confusion is some people show up late on Christmas Eve after 6pm or early the day after Christmas before 5am, see that it is closed, and think it's closed entirely all three days. And this is what has led to the erroneous posts like on another website, viewed and upvoted numerous times, which claims Cafe Du Monde Decatur location is closed ALL DAY Christmas EVE (incorrect).
Their website now says 7:30am to 10:00pm for the Decatur (main) location. I was there recently and it was closed after 10:00pm. Sad.
