The matcha was smooth without being overly sweet, and the toast was fresh with just the right amount of seasoning.

I love Evolve's matcha drinks and their creative seasonal coffees, like the pandan latte. They…read moreclearly know what they're doing and don't take themselves too seriously, which makes the menu fun. The space itself lacks a little character when it comes to the interior design and ambiance for being in New Orleans. It's more like mainstream trendy coffee shop style rather especially cozy or comforting. There are two outdoor tables. The inside is pretty large which is nice, not too crowded either. Their food case could also use some attention (things like the biscuits being displayed cold make them look almost like pretend food and an empty case can be a little off-putting visually.) That being said, the service and the quality of their espresso and matcha drinks make up for it.

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

Location is right on Veterans, but you have to watch for it in the small strip mall. Plenty of parking in the back and there are entrances on both sides. Clean, well lit, and smells heavenly! I had the worst time deciding because they have everything from tuna salad sandwiches and puddings to the yummy cheese dog danish I devoured. Garlic cheese bread was good and the spinach kale danish was packed with flavor. The almond bun was subtle and not overly sweet. There were several items I had no idea what they would taste like, so I put them on the list for next time. :) Pricing is VERY reasonable. Garlic cheese bread: $2.25, Cheese Dog: $2.30, Spinach Kale Danish: $2.60 and the recycle bag was $1.85. I do plan on returning. I think it's a perfect place for that person who likes to experiment with their taste buds.

Crêpes Rendez Vous has become one of my favorite hidden gems in the New Orleans area. From the…read moremoment you walk inside, the atmosphere sets the tone. The lighthouse-themed décor creates a warm, inviting ambiance that immediately makes you feel at home. It feels like a place designed for people to slow down, connect, and enjoy life's simple pleasures. The real secret behind this restaurant is the love that goes into every item they serve. The crêpes are absolutely outstanding, and I highly recommend trying them. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Lemon Curd crêpe. The combination of sweet strawberries and bright lemon curd is perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. Every bite tastes fresh, handcrafted, and made with care. If you're a carrot cake lover, you owe it to yourself to try theirs. In my opinion, it is the best carrot cake in America. It's moist, flavorful, perfectly spiced, and unforgettable. Another thing I appreciate is that everything is cooked to order. Whether you're dining inside or taking advantage of their convenient drive-through, the food always arrives piping hot and fresh. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. In a world filled with rushed meals and chain restaurants, Crêpes Rendez Vous stands apart by delivering exceptional food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that feels truly special. If you're looking for a memorable breakfast, brunch, dessert, or simply a place that serves food with heart, this is it. Five stars without hesitation.

My Croque Monsieur was nothing but a ham and cheese melted in a panini press with one slice of chopped ham and very sour tasting Swiss cheese with a couple of unripe tomato slices.

The only good thing about the trip was that I now know not to go back.

I think she mentioned something else but I don't remember the extra either. What I do remember is it was really good. My go to snowball anywhere is usually green apple but I'm glad I tried this one. I'd get it again. I noticed something about most of the snowball places around...they all use the snow wizard ice machine. But the crazy thing is, all of their ice isn't the same. This place figured ice out!! SO SOFT! Only downside and it's not their fault, it's in a rather busy strip so if you can't find parking out front...Beware McDonald's parking across the street. They tow as if they need all those parking spaces...I don't think I've ever seen a full McDonald's parking lot in life. Lol Anyway, 10/10 and cool points for entertaining my little chatterbox baby. I'll be back to try the Matcha!!

Rating: 9.5/10 I'm…read moreso glad Metairie has a great drink spot. My 2 times here have been so great! From the cute aesthetic to the amazing owner and staff, this place deserves wayyyy more hype. I love matcha and I've found a lot of places' matcha are too thin or not flavored enough. The matchas I've had at Nectar+Ice (banana bread & baklava) are so creamy and delicious! They also have snoballs, lattes and affogato so everyone can enjoy them. The owner was very helpful and also let me sample the weekly soft serve special which was also yummy. The only reason it's not a perfect 10 is the small space (can get a bit crowded during a rush) and its hours are only from Wed-Sat.

My sister moved to Louisiana two years ago and has always said it's been hard to find truly great food, so we were excited to give this place a try--and it exceeded every expectation. The woman who took our order was one of the sweetest people we've met. She was so welcoming, patient, and made us feel right at home, which made the whole experience even better. The tostones were perfection--served hot and crispy on the outside while staying soft and fluffy on the inside. The breakfast arepa was outstanding and paired perfectly with the fresh cilantro dipping sauce. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you could tell everything was made with care. The restaurant itself was spotless, bright, and inviting, creating such a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a meal. Great food, amazing service, and a clean environment are the perfect combination. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable breakfast. It was hands down one of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

The place was barely open when I arrived so I had it to myself for a while but soon, plenty regulars came in and joined me. The music is great, and not too loud and I loved how open yet intimate the setup was. My order: cortado, breakfast arepa with plantains, and a carrot/ginger juice because I just got off a cruise and my stomach was still feeling a way. Very nice to have REAL FOOD again. My heart and stomach both left here full to the brim. Thanks! Note: it does come with more plantains but I was too hungry lol

Most tables had crusted sugar residue like they hadn't been wiped all day (it was 1:30 pm) a lot of chairs had sugar on them. An older guy (70's?) came out with a broom and dustpan. Kicked the chairs out of his way and picked up the napkins while complaining that ceiling fans were moving the napkins around. It was July. Fans were needed, although only 2 were on. No one wiped any chairs or tables or mopped all the white powdered sugar while I was there. 3-4 employees sitting behind the counter cause it was slow. NEEDS A MANAGER! UODATE. As I was leaving, the older guy came out to halfheartedly mop some of the sugar. Mop in one hand, cane in the other. No help from the young staffers sitting behind the counter.

So after a long nights work and some fun at Ms. Mae's it is a great thing to have a nice hot cup of coffee to chase down the Ms. Mae's breakfast beers to energize you for the walk home.

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.

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.

It is just a drive thru; not an indoor sit-down type establishment. The menu is also right in the part where you would pick up your coffee, but the lines are kind of long so the workers come out to greet you with the tablets. That is efficient, but I had no idea what to order since I had never been a 7 Brew before. By the second or third time I came back here, and googling combinations online, I was much more comfortable. The best part of this place is making your own coffee your own, and there are quite a lot of sugar free options too. I loved the pumpkin spice varieties and anything with Irish cream was so good. I highly recommend. The lines are not as long as when they first opened a year or so ago and the workers are super-fast and efficient. Highly recommend.
