    Super cute in here, and a great location by LSU New Orleans Campus! I tried the Fruity Pebbles and my boyfriend got the Purple rain. I loved the flavor, and the fact that there were many add in options to choose from! At $8 per drink, this will probably just be a special treat every now and then. The ladies were super helpful and cheery when I placed my order!

    Loved this place! It is in an obscure area, but worth the trip for some great matcha! I tried the bananas foster matcha. It was quite sweet, but I liked it! This is such a unique flavor combination, but it works! If you are looking for a very specific matcha flavor, I wouldn't outright recommend this place, but maybe the double matcha would be a good option. The interior is super cute and well decorated. There several adorable souvenirs and trinkets to pick up. The staff is also very kind and helpful! We came pretty early in the morning, and they were very considerate!

    I've been obsessed with matcha recently, and this place did not disappoint!! I got the banana foster's matcha, and it had the perfect mix of fresh banana, brown sugar, and matcha. I want to try to make this at home, but I already know it won't compare. I also enjoyed the everything toast. The girls working were so nice and helpful! It was the cutest little pink place! I'm not in New Orleans very often, but I will make this one of my must see spots when I am!

    Rating: 7/10 This place gets a lot of foot traffic in the medical block of NOLA. On the intersection of the VA and the medical center of New Orleans, they crested this cute, aesthetically pleasing spot with matcha combinations. They also offer light bites but I just settled on the Matcha Magic latte ($8). The matcha was just ok, but the customer service is top tier and everything is reasonably priced so that makes it ok.

    Cute little place with good lighting and cute decor. Staffs were helpful and friendly. Came after the gym so I was hungry and thirsty. I got the Purple Rain which has lavender, ube, milk and matcha sweet cream. The combination goes well together. It's was so tasty. I also ordered the Toast Flight. Everything: Cream cheese, avocado, everything seasoning and microgreens. Lox On: Cream cheese, cucumber, salmon and dill.House Avocado: Avocado, tomato, microgreens, sea salt and olive oil. My favorite toast was the Everything and Lox On.

    Matcha Magic is located on the corner of the street across from UMC. It's also right near the medical/nursing schools too, so I'm sure they get regular traffic coming through the shop daily. It's a cute little cafe, serving some food, but mainly matcha drinks. The drinks were creative with so many different matcha drink options! I bought a horchata matcha ($8). It's made with oat milk blended with rice. It's apparently a popular item, and it's no wonder because it was delicious! I also got to try a "toast flight" complimentary as a Yelp perk. It came with 3 types of toast, but my favorite was the salmon toast. It had some cream cheese, slice of salmon, cucumber, topped with dill. Paired with my matcha drink, it felt like a perfect brunch!

    "$49 on Matcha" The vibes are aesthetically pleasing and the Matcha selections are extensive. Went here pretty much on a Matcha tasting test. Spent about $49 on matcha. Well Worth it.

    Of course I needed to make a matcha stop, and I had this place on my itinerary I'm so glad I did. As soon as I walked in, everything looked vibrant, clean, and inviting. It smelled amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect. I was greeted right away, and I liked that there was a menu stand at the entrance so you could look over the options before even stepping into line. The two women working there were so nice and polite, answered all of our questions, and made the experience even better. I got a chocolate matcha, I believe, and it was super, super good. I would definitely come here again if I'm ever back in town I might even need to stop by again before I leave honestly.

    Matcha Magic is such a vibe! From the moment you walk in, the aesthetic is clean, cozy, and so beautifully curated--it's definitely a spot you want to sit and stay for a while. Love supporting a Black-owned business that clearly puts thought into both the experience and the quality. We tried the strawberry matcha, caramel macchiato, and bananas foster, and everything was so good--and perfectly sweet without needing any extra sweeteners. The strawberry matcha was refreshing with the perfect balance, the caramel macchiato was smooth and rich, and the bananas foster was easily a standout--so flavorful and indulgent. They even gave us the cutest flamingo drink floaties just for following their social media and leaving a Google review, which was such a fun touch! Great drinks, great atmosphere, and great energy all around. Definitely coming back when I'm in Nola!!

    Cutestttt spot. I had this on my list as a quick spot before errands and so glad I came. Very cute and relaxed. The service was quick, and the baristas were verrry nice. We ordered the Purple Rain, and it is amazing! We'll definitely be back!

    Berry Chantilly Matcha
    Myla M.

    Loved my experience at matcha magic. A very nice laidback cafe. I went with my sister we both got berry chantilly matcha which was so good. Now I am a matcha drinker, I drink it usually with vanilla and honey but my sister taste mine at home and hated it however she actually liked the berry chantilly matcha and drank the whole thing. We shared a toast flight with the house avocado, lox on and Greek life. All of them were good, I especially liked the Greek life. And we sat there coloring and chatting for a few hours until they closed. The service was great, the barista was very helpful when we were trying to decide what flavor to get. I liked the music they played. Parking is ok, street only. Overall just a great cafe. I'll most definitely be back.

    TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

    This is a must-do if it is your first time in NOLA. But are the beignets tasty? Only if you like…read moresugary powder over fried dough! Don't be deterred if you see a long line - that's for takeout only. The tables are first come, first served. Portions are quite large so good to share a plate (3 beignets) between 2 ppl. Service can take a while if they happen to be taking a break (that was the case for us). And you are expected to pay when the orders are delivered (cash only). Make sure to tip extra because it is one tough job.

    Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

    Cute cafe! l love the decor. The furniture is very cute & standout ottoman piano did look vintage…read more This is a walk up & order at the bar venue Your are given a number to your table. The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad. The shrimp was yummy the salad too but expected more on the salad maybe cucumber or tomatoes over all for just having cheese on Arugula with dressing was ok. I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.
