    Food is consistently good. Never a line. Would be nice to have non plastic utensils for dine in, but it won't stop me from eating here.

    1. Chicken Shawarma Platter

    The food is flavorful. Quick service and I keep going back to this place, it's like my Friday spot. I get the chicken shawarma every time.

    Very new restaurant in a strip mall on veterans. There is a cool blend of what I would describe as Lebanese and true Greek food (Greek cuisine isn't very prevalent here). The salads are good and the pastatio dish was AWESOME! Like a beef macaroni and cheese with béchamel. Try it! They have a very attractive juicing smoothie bar inside as well. Not my thing, but looked good.

    3. Gyro Wrap - so good. Nice place to stop for a quick lunch. Definitely going to go back here.

    Love this little place. Can't wait to go back so I can try everything. They even have a juice bar.

    If you live in Metairie or surrounding areas, y'all MUST go to Athena Cafe!!! FRESHLY cooked, homemade Mediterranean cuisine. You can literally TASTE the difference! Family owned, they have created this lovely restaurant with delicious food, and they offer a FRESH juice bar (NO ADDITIVES, not even sugar) with tasty recipes of which you'll want to try all. They prepare and juice fresh fruit and veggies right in front of you, made to order! Lunch, dinner, and catering...Athena Cafe gives you a lot of bang for your buck! Wonderful portions, delicious authentic home cooking, clean and bright environment, and happy atmosphere. Dine in or get it to go. I HIGHLY recommend this convenient location. I definitely will be back again and again! (And, tell 'em Kristen, the piano player sent ya!)

    Follow Tea is a bubble tea place my friend and I went to in Metairie, LA. It is spacious inside…read morewith a clean, modern design. One thing that sets Follow Tea apart from other bubble tea places I've been to previously, is that they offer cheese as the foamy part of your tea. They also offer a variety of fruit and milk teas. I was intrigued by the cheese, so I got the Lychee Rose Cheese Tea. This is made using cream cheese, the same type of cheese that cheesecake is made of. This is actually traditionally a Taiwanese method of making bubble tea. My friend got the Passionfruit Tea without the cheese. My Lychee Rose Cheese Tea arrived beautifully presented. The cup was made of sturdy, frosted plastic. On top there were some dried roses. This was so tasty! I loved the flavor, it was subtly sweet, and the cheese provided a slight savory balance. The tiny pieces of lychee were an added chewy bonus. My friend also enjoyed her Passionfruit tea. I wish we had some bubble tea places that offered the cheese foam, here in Connecticut, maybe I'll have to look a bit harder. We had a lovely time at Follow Tea, and enjoyed their tasty products.

It's different but good. Has a custard in it so they kind of throws me off but I would order again. The cashier was really helpful.

    Delicious! Everything is tried was excellent…read more They are individually packaged with makes it super easy to choose what you like, and prices aren't bad at all either. I picked: a large fluffy maple roll. The outside reminded me of a croissant in the best way with some mild maple sweetness and the inside was moist, pillowy, and rich. I heated it up in the oven next day which made it even better. A square coconut roll... crisp and flaky on the outside with the most delightful sweet coconut cream inside and flaked almonds on top. This was my favorite. Will get multiple next time. And a pair of taro rolls. These I was most excited for as I love taro, and they weren't bad at all, but were probably my least favorite of the 3, purely because they had an eggy aftertaste. They weren't overly sweet with a nice smooth taro filling. I also tried a taro milk tea with soy milk. These normally include lavender too, but I asked for mine without. The flavor was off the charts good. Strangely it was nothing like the usual taro drinks I've tried and I couldn't place what I was tasting, but it was rich and creamy and so satisfying. Only thing that bummed me out was that I ordered boba and there wasn't any. :(

    This is a cute bakery with so many baked good options! When you walk in there's two walls of…read morepackaged baked goods you can choose from. The prices are super good for being so fresh. I got a cheese bread for about $3 and a tuna sandwich for $5! You can order your drinks at the kiosk or at the counter. And you can bring your items to the counter for them to ring up. The process was pretty easy. It's a nice open space for grabbing a drink and yummy treat. There is no wifi however so it's not the best place to work for the day. Service: Self serve and then pay at the counter Drinks: Lots of different options here Wifi: Unfortunately they don't have this. Parking: There's a small lot in front and signs for parking in the back. Outdoor Seating: None

    This is located in Whole Foods bakery area. They do have teas for those who do not drink coffee…read more The offer pastries but I feel it may not really be utilized since the location is in the bakery area of Whole Foods. The customer service was good, the staff were friendly. This would be a nice stop after shopper if you just want to sit down for a brief to enjoy coffee and a snack. The oolong Milky tea was what I chose, it was not what I thought it was, it was just a regular tea. The New Ice coffee was okay, not really a special flair to it. The are several other options that I would try next time I visit.

Despite the name, none of the locations are actual trucks, but they are very cute bright yellow brick and mortar locations. I got the first coffee listed on the menu. The New Orleans Iced Coffee with Chicory. Chicory is a root, that is very popular to get in coffee in New Orleans. First, I love the tiny ice cubes used in this coffee. Why doesn't every single coffee shop offer the tiny ice cubes? They keep your drink cold, while they don't take a ton of volume away from your coffee! I love the chicory flavor of this coffee! It's naturally nutty and a tiny bit chocolatey without any syrups. This area at Whole Foods has some yellow bar stools for seating options. If I was in the area I would keep an eye out for French Truck Coffee.
