    Standalone store

    Rating: 7.8/10 Located inside the Lakeside Mall, this place was convenient. This place had been hyped up by a lot of coffee lovers I know so I was happy to try it. I got the Lavender Matcha with vanilla ($7) and it was good, I did want a bit more intensity of flavor but not bad at all. The reason for points off is that the employee was the only one working and the line was long. She was knocking orders out well but she definitely needed assistance.

    Popped in to Evolve to check out their matcha and get a little work done. The vibe is fine, but it's definitely on the louder side, making it hard to focus if you're trying to lock in and be productive. As for the drinks, the matcha was pretty underwhelming and mostly just tasted like a glass of milk. It's a solid 3/5, but probably won't be my go-to spot.

    Tried the evolve inside Lakeside mall! I have not tried the other locations, but heard good things. I ended up getting the iced pistachio latte. I was honestly disappointed :/ it tasted very milky with little to no pistachio flavor. Maybe next time I should try a different flavor or their matcha! The employees were very nice and it's a good location in the mall.

    Evolve is a great place to study or meet up with a friend! Very calming but not too quiet, so you can still experience the cafe music! I came on a Saturday evening and it was somewhat busy. There are a handful of chairs and most of them were occupied when I initially went inside. The worker was very nice and greeted me very kindly. I originally wanted to order the Pandan Matcha, but was unfortunately informed that they no longer serve it... So I ordered an Iced White Chocolate Matcha instead and was quite disappointed. I expected it to be a bit in the sweeter side, but it was instead very lackluster in flavor.

    Had an early morning flight into New Orleans and wanted a match before heading out to a golf tournament. When I arrived at 7:30am the cafe was empty with plenty of seating. There was soft music playing and workers were super friendly. I ordered the seasonal maple matcha and it was 100/10. Please note that the cafe does get busy around 8:30am.

    Was excited to try this after seeing some good reviews but it was a let down for me. Tried the iced matcha latte and iced honey lavender latte and both were just mediocre. I asked if the matcha was sourced from Japan and I wasn't given a clear answer so I don't even know where they get it from. The matcha flavor itself was on the borderline of being bitter/earthy. When they asked about what milk to use I said just give me the what is normally included. I was then told that it typically comes with whole milk but they were out of it. So I was given other options and selected oat milk. But then I was charged extra for the oat milk even though they were out of whole milk I would've given a 2/5 rating but I do like the decor inside the store so I will bump it up to 3/5.

    Lavender matcha latte

    Great tasting ceremonial matcha spot, no clumps and i got the lavender matcha latte so there was nice hints of the lavender with the matcha. The barista was kind and the space was quiet and seemed like a good spot to study or catch up with a friend.

    Great place to get Matcha around the New Orleans area. I got the holly Berry Matcha latte and it was very good. I had a kick and spice to it, which was very unique. I would come back!

    Really nice spot! The inside is laid back and modern. The cashier during the evening of 4/8/24 was so cool! She's so friendly and welcoming. The lavender matcha was smooth and fragrant! I want another one right now! LOL. It wasn't overly sweet either, which was a plus for me! Give this place a try if you enjoy matcha.

    I was visiting my friend in NOLA recently and was looking for coffee shops to visit in the mornings. I saw how cute this place was online and had to come here. I always love it when a shop has lavender or rose flavored items so this spot definitely caught my eye while I was browsing. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte and my friend got the Lavender Matcha Latte. Both were so tasty and refreshing. Staff was so friendly and drinks came out pretty quick. Great place to catch up with a friend or do some work/study. Ambiance is so cozy and cute - great lighting, pretty decor with greenery.

    Lavender Matcha Iced Latte Stopped in to try the coffee. Saw the lavender matcha latte on the menu that I had to try. I'm a sucker for lavender in my coffee so why not try my matcha. Opt'd for oak milk and it was delish Super fast to make the order and friendly staff. Modern design but cozy as well. I marked this on down as a revisit when in the area.

    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. :(

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.

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.

I've been working in…read morethe neighborhood for 24 years and rarely have I seen a cafe here that lasted more than a year. Hopefully the Causeway Cafe we'll break the chain and remain indefinitely. It is that good. I can't say that I have eaten everything on the menu, but what I have eaten, with one exception, has been top notch. I'll start out with the chicken salad sandwich. This is unequivocally the best chicken salad I've ever eaten. Chicken salad can be personal , and perhaps this chicken salad would not match everyone's flavor profile. But the combination of the curry, which is very subtle, the apples, and the other seasoning is simply delicious. There is a lot of chicken, the perfect amount of dressing, and a nice amount of spring greens on top. This is a winner! I've also had the Ham and Brie sandwich which is excellent. My coworkers tell me that the gumbo is good, and that other sandwiches shine as well. The one exception is the sausage, cheese, and egg biscuit which was not to my liking. The biscuit simply fell into a million pieces when I tried to eat it. In my view, a biscuit sandwich should be a handheld. The coffee gets great reviews as well. There is a daily special which you can get on their website or simply call them. This place needs to stay so that I have an easy place to go for lunch that doesn't break the bank and offers delicious food.
