Olivia G.

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.

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!

Felecia V.

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.

I ordered a pressed sandwich and frozen matcha this morning. The lady taking my order was very unenthusiastic. I asked for the availabilities and her description was, "turkey, it'll take 10-12 minutes". She repeatedly told me it would take 10-12 minutes for the sandwich even though I told her that it's okay with me. Since she didn't have a mask on, I saw her unpleasant facial expressions towards me still wanting to order it. After 30 minutes of waiting, I asked another lady about how much longer it would be for my order. She walked to the back and brought out my order. It wasn't hot. I was disappointed in their service. :( read more

I usually spring for the Frozen Evolution or the Honey Lavender Latte. This is a chill spot with modern coffee vibes. I enjoy the flavors and the caffeine buzz. A cool spot to relax for a bit in the middle of a busy area, study or do some work. They have snacks, pastries, desserts and more if the caffeine isn't enough to keep you going. read more

This cute coffee shop is truly a hidden gem. The owner is sweet and knowledgeable about all things espresso and matcha. Their iced evolution (espresso and matcha) is my go to most of the time. The kids love the variety of macaroons especially the tiramisu or the muffins. There is an adorable reading book with books and tables and a sofa for seating. It is in a strip mall but don't let that deter you from the best coffee and matcha. read more

I have spent years wishing for a high quality craft coffee store near my home, and BAM! Suddenly one opens...right at the beginning of a pandemic. Who said the Universe doesn't have a good sense of humor? Now, while everyone else is biting their sanitizer-flavored fingernails and hording rolls of toilet paper, I am sauntering carefully with face mask and sanitizer in hand to get my amazing coffee to go from this blissful, beautiful, high-vibration little gem. The chicken salad sandwiches are great too! And the owner is a lovely, enlightened entrepreneur with a friendly smile and calm, collected aura.

Was pretty disappointed with my matcha latte. After taking a few sips, I went back to the barista to ask if I had accidentally gotten a traditional matcha, which only has water, or if maybe she had used non-fat milk. I was shocked when she said she used whole milk, which means my drink must have been made with A LOT of water. I paid for and expected my drink to be made with almost all milk, if not only milk. Otherwise, the matcha they use is good. Three stars just because service and ambience are nice but won't be going back again. read more

Got Iced Blue Eyes, Frozen Honey Lavender Latte, warmed cinnamon roll and an Earl Grey macaroon. The drinks were exceptional! The cinnamon roll was perfectly iced, and she did a great job of warming it all the way through; giving it to us in a foil bowl instead of a nasty foam clamshell was lovely. The inside is exactly what you want from a little coffee shop. Very clean, decorated nicely with some quirk, and decent music at a lower volume. Also has a tiny book nook, which made me oh so happy! read more

They didn't have lemon (!), so we settled on Bavarian Creme. Bad move. Credit where credit is due: Quick check out even though there was a solid line. The first two bites we each took that evening we were taken aback. Tasted like rum was added to the creme. We had seen other boxes marked that alcohol was used, but this one wasn't marked this way so we were comfortable buying it. We both laughed at "who puts rum in Bavarian Creme? New Orleans!" But we now had a cake we would not eat. The voice message I left the next day went unanswered. We gave the cake away to some young guys my husband works with. She picked up an apple King Cake on her way home, but I'm good with taking my King Cake business elsewhere. And if the argument is there wasn't rum in it it just tasted like it, then someone should have called to say so. (It was still an unpleasant flavor for a Bavarian Creme.)

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

Martin's Wine Cellar is always a favorite stop! Their chicken salad is absolutely delicious--fresh,…read moreflavorful, and consistently made just right. It's one of those meals I find myself craving again and again. I also love their fresh lemonade, which is the perfect complement to lunch. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is friendly, and the service is always quick and attentive. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, picking up a bottle of wine, or browsing their gourmet selection, Martin's Wine Cellar is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

For $17 it was totally wasn't worth my time for money to stop there. The server asked if I needed any utensils and I said just some extra crackers she said they were in there and there was only three crackers. Mine you three separate scoops of three different salads. Don't let them take advantage of you like they did me.

It's rare to step into a restaurant before the doors open, an almost behind-the-scenes experience…read more You get to see what makes people tick and who they really are. In the restaurant business, we all have a switch: once the doors open, it flips. Until then, you're seeing people exactly as they are. This team is genuine. Hands down. Yes, I know, I'm technically here for a king cake. Standing in line for a king cake from a famous fried chicken company almost feels satirical. But watching the entire team sit down together for a meal an hour before service told me everything I needed to know about the leadership and the values of this company. People matter here. You can see why the sandwiches are as good as they are. You can feel why the king cake is worth the wait. This team operates like a family; kind to one another, intentional, and connected. The food is made with care because the people are cared for. I'm not here to review the food (which is phenomenal) or the king cake. I'm here to review the brand. This is the kind of business we should be proud to support as a community. Keep it up.

I thought Southern's was pretty good overall. The menu offers some unique options, including…read morecreative chicken sandwiches and a few Asian-inspired fusion dishes that go beyond traditional Southern cuisine. I also like that they feature a daily special that isn't on the regular menu--it adds a nice element of variety. Everything is cooked to order, which is definitely a plus. Just keep in mind that most of the menu is fried, so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a particularly healthy meal.

Oh boy, where do I start with Evolve Coffee + Matcha? This place is so good, it's almost criminal. I mean, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to make matcha this tasty. But let's just keep that between us, okay? I came here to study, and let me tell you, this place is a godsend. The atmosphere is perfect for hitting the books, and the matcha drinks are so delicious, they make me forget about all the studying I'm supposed to be doing. I'm pretty sure I drank so much matcha, I can now see through time (the Lavender Matcha especially). The staff is also amazing, and they somehow manage to be super friendly and efficient at the same time. It's like they're secretly superheroes or something. All in all, I can't recommend Evolve Coffee + Matcha enough. It's the perfect place to study, relax, or just indulge in some seriously tasty matcha. Five stars all the way! read more

Wonderful experience so far. I haven't even left this place yet and I love it. The coffee is delicious and Evolve offers a comfortable area to do some work, relax, and enjoy your cup of coffee. Visiting from Florida and I will return in the future. read more

Will not be coming here again. Regrettably have spent a lot of money in this place, to in turn be treated like only a dollar bill sign. My friends agree and will no longer be coming there either. read more
