I was able to stop in today to try their new summer menu because I was craving some chai and tried their new Breakfast-In-Bed Chai tea latte with their homemade cold foam and also grabbed one of there biscoff and cream that looked like a giant poptart and was the best thing I ever had!!! I can't wait to check out the rest of the summer menu! The also have a variety of different homemade cold foam options as well that look out of this world!! They have an outdoor patio on the side and some seating inside as well! Can't wait to come back for more!!!

I'm not a coffee drinker so always get the iced tea but they have lots of breakfast options which are delicious. Bagel sandwiches, egg bites, waffles, donuts, etc. Staff is friendly and service ia quick! Always a great experience here.

We were driving by Kawaii on our way home from an appointment and I saw they had sushi, I always…read morelove to try a new spot and I'm so glad we did! The bowl was flavorful and had great fresh ingredients like salmon, mango, and cucumbers! The crab Rangoons were crispy and had real chunks of crab in them! The cucumber salad was full of great, freshly chopped cucumbers and a sauce that wasn't too spicy but gave some great flavor. The brown sugar milk tea was delicious, not too sweet and had yummy boba inside. The peach tea was refreshing and I loved the popping bobas. It was easy to order from the kiosk or from your phone at the table. If you want to order from the front you can go up to ask questions if you need to! The people working are quick and if you dine in they will bring the food to you! It's a very laid back space but it is full of charm!

Kawaii tea time served up my first sushi taco ever and it was ELITE. My favorite was the salmon…read moresushi taco. The tempura shrimp and crab stick taco was good, but I wish it had more sauce. Overall, the ingredients were fresh, had amazing textures, and was the perfect size. Their boba was also good! I got the lychee green tea with lychee jelly. I opted for 100% sugar. It was perfect for me because I love sweet things. They also serve other Asian dishes including noodles, dessert and soup dumplings. The ambiance is cute, decor is fun. The space is clean. The employees were very friendly. I had an amazing experience and plan to be back with more people!

The decor is warm and homey while remaining cute and trendy. Their seasonal decorations are always adorable, and the ambience is perfect if you are looking to study with friends, telework solo, or maybe grab a coffee date. They also have a virtual kiosk and options for your drink to be ordered in advance and brought to your table, which is an introvert's dream. I have never been disappointed with drinks from the Grind, and I most recently purchased the French toast iced latte, which was phenomenal! It was the perfect blend of spicy and sweet, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I do all of their drink options! The English muffin sandwich was good but their menu items are pricey and not necessarily worth it, not that they aren't good, just nothing to write home about as far as the sandwiches. I hope to try a pastry next time and my opinion may differ.

Stories has been around for ages, and I've been meaning to try it. Finally got the opportunity this…read morepast Saturday. Sadly, no pictures, we were too engrossed in conversation. The location on 204th Street in Gretna is clean, open, inviting ... but noisy. It's one of those warehouse-type settings where you really have to work at having a private conversation. Seating is expecially comfortable in the big chairs, but then you have to schootch them close together and lean in so you can hear each other, which is unfortunate. Granted, tables are set far apart, but this should be in addition to. Coffee was delicious, but the beignet bites were just so-so. Granted, one should not expect New Orleans beignets outside of New Orleans, but these little donut puffs had only a light dusting of powdered sugar (which I actually was thankful for because I wore black pants!), and there was a not-overly-pleasant surprise inside with an indistinguishable creamy substance that was sort of like the inside of a brown sugar cinnamon poptart, only less so. I hadn't been expecting that. The yogurt parfait was substantial and delicious. (The staff was friendly and helpful when making selections, but it didn't occur to me to ask about fillings.) I might visit again, but maybe at one of the other locations, if acoustics were more promising.

I made a reservation ahead of time with a friend so we could enjoy the flights together and give their team a heads-up. Even with a long line when we arrived, the staff handled everything quickly and efficiently. The flavor combinations and toppings were so fun and creative. I also love that they've expanded their space recently since it can get pretty busy. Another great experience here!

I recently visited Zen Coffee Company for the first time. Since I've been avoiding caffeine lately,…read moreI was hoping for a good selection of herbal teas. They only offered one herbal option (lavender mint) but unfortunately I could only taste the mint and didn't notice any lavender. They did have other caffeine-free drinks available, but I was looking for something unsweetened and low in sugar. The space was also different than I expected. Based on the name, I imagined a cozy, relaxing atmosphere with comfortable lounge seating. Instead, the décor felt a bit mismatched, almost like the café had expanded over time and the two sides were decorated very differently. That said, one thing they absolutely got right was the amount of seating. There were plenty of tables and space to work, study, or catch up with a friend without feeling crowded. The biggest downside was the cleanliness. The bathroom didn't feel clean, there were stains on the floors, chipped paint and damaged walls, crumbs around the couches and on some of the chairs, and the dish return bins were noticeably dirty inside. I stayed for about 90 minutes, and during that time I didn't see any cleaning happening, even though there were several areas that clearly needed attention. None of these issues alone would have been a dealbreaker, but together they made the café feel neglected and took away from what otherwise could have been a much more enjoyable experience.

The shop is on the smaller side, but it wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning, and we had no problem finding a table. I noticed several people working on their laptops, so it seems like a great spot to get some work done or just relax with a coffee. I ordered an iced oat milk latte and a cinnamon roll bread pudding. The bread pudding was SO GOOD. I would honestly make the drive just to have that again. They also offer a variety of toasts and pastries if you're looking for something to eat. One thing I always appreciate about coffee shops is when they feature products from other local vendors, and Stir had a nice selection of things like jewelry, mugs, and puzzles. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm glad the Coffee Passport brought me here. I'll definitely be back for that bread pudding!

Ordering took me a while because I had never been there and just looking over the menu I was expecting more combinations to choose from but it is very much build your own. I enjoyed the seasonal menu although I did think the tiramisu cold foam was a drink because it was under drinks but it was just a topping. I did get a vanilla latte with the tiramisu cold form and it was DELICIOUS! I would definitely try it again the next time I go. The barista that helped me was very kind and friendly. She helped me make the best selection. The types of milk you can get is Oat, Coconut, whole cream and half and half, I did wish they had a skim milk option but the coconut milk was very good in my latte. My sister ordered a Blueberry Matcha Tea, she enjoyed it and said the blueberry wasn't a strong flavor profile. I would recommend stopping in and getting a drink and having a nice conversation with someone.
