    mango smoothie
    Jose F.

    picked up two drinks from bambū Metairie 10/10, The service was amazing super quick. Will come again

    I've been here a few times now because their drinks are so refreshing! It's a cute shop across the street from Ochsner/Target by Clearview. They offer tons of different types of drinks, but they also have a few dessert/snack items if you're peckish! I've tried the mango fruit tea, passionfruit fruit tea, and lychee milk tea. They've all been delicious! The lychee is my fave. I always add popping bobas because they're yummy and fun. I tried adding basil seeds to my last drink and that was nice too. I've yet to try their mochi ice cream, but I've had their macarons before. They were fantastic and adorable too! They do have a points system you can associate with your phone number. The points give you discounts on your purchases! With the weather getting hotter, I'll be back more often!

    Worst drinks I've ever drank. Would rather drink bleach than ever go here again. Boba might as well have been rocks.

    Bambu is one of my favorite bubble tea places. Their taro and Thai tea bubble tea are excellent and so is the service. Even when I get my food and drink delivered, it's packed with care. I didn't love the coconut jelly because it's not sweet at all, so I'll stick to mango jelly. The decor is really cute and the friendliness of the staff always makes me want to hang out there a while. They also have happy hour which is how I ventured away from my usual bubble tea order and have also tried the bao and banh mi. I found them flavorful and loved the abundance of carrots, cilantro, and other vegetables. The quality of the meat is what you'd expect from a snack shop, but the sauces are yummy. I highly recommend Bambu.

    The service was GREAT! The cashier was AMAZING ! She recommended the mango smoothie and it had a powdery taste. I wouldn't recommend the mango smoothie, I will be back to try the coconut drink, and I'll update my review off that. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the bathroom was clean and easy to access. The menu is straight forward and has the prices listed, majority of the items has a list of the ingredients and some doesn't... but that's not a problem because the cashier doesn't mind answering questions and she even offered me a sample of the mango jello topping.

    Ok so I arrived at 8:51p and they close at 9p. Yes, people were still there eating. But when I walked in the cashier greeted me as if they weren't close until 10-11p. She was so bubbly and friendly. The restaurant was super clean menu was bright up top and super easy to read & understand the menu. Yes it was different for me! I did try the Strawberry Refresher with Strawberry Jellies. The Refresher was pressure, I'm not a fan of the jellies tho..I also got a Red Velvet macaroon. Omg it was so soft and tasty..they also sell sandwiches..listen next time I'm in Metairie I'm going back..its across from Target on Vets. Also there's like a lounge area towards the back.

    Time to chill!

    Worth the visit! Beautiful decor, tasty treats, and a clean inviting a space that uplifted my day. I tried mochi and two other menu items...exceeded all expectations! Bambu not only excels with the dining experience, but it is also uniquely located on Vets and near Clearview Parkway. And, I can't say enough about how welcoming and pleasant the staff were. Already planning to go back to cool off from the hot weather ahead.

    Years later, I'm glad to say that the customer service here greatly improved! The person who got my order was really nice and polite. Decorum is still clean and neat. I ordered the Bambu Combo for $7.50 with a large size (extra $1.50) which would equal to $9.00. It was a bit expensive for "Che" but I get it because of inflation. The taste was still really good and the dessert was filled with a lot of delicious toppings! The only complaint I have would be that they took almost 30 minutes for my order, but I understand since they had some technical issues. Other than that, my experience at Bambu greatly improved compared to my first visit.

    I ordered coconut sugar cane and it's 90% ice. Yeah. Talking about fillers. lol.

    I ordered the coconut sugar cane and it is 90% ice. That's how they get you. Use ice as fillers.

    Friendly staff and the drinks are always delicious. I usually go for the blended teas especially since it's been so hot outside. Refreshing chè options & yummy waffles too!

    Great location in Metairie. Plenty of parking avaliable in the rear of the building.. The interior is spacious and has such a cute vibe to it. Definitely a chill hang out spot. Free wifi. Look forward to visiting a few more times to try more of the items

    The perfect spot for not too sweet desserts (iykyk)! Loved the halo halo and taro lover. Servings are very generous in size. The shave ice is perfect for the NOLA summers weather. The dining area is cute and always clean. Definitely check them out!

    I ordered your ube cake as a PURE Filipino , I can assure you that the "ube" cake, ain't no ube…read more Its some knock off trashy ass taro from temu, Im guessing its watered down 95% water and the other 5 as ube cuz it looks pale ASF. Im pretty sure its actually purple food coloring and not actual ube, the only reason why I'm not placing a 1 star is because the first time I bought a cake from this place, it was actually good (some coffee cake). This bakery made decent cakes till I tried YOUR UBE CAKE. If you want to copy trends and mix asian culture into your goods, then DO IT PROPERLY, or at least research on how to make ube. Try making ube jam instead and place it in the cake, that would taste WAY better. Also the yellow icy part inside the cake would've been delightful if it was cheese and not some random yellow piss ice. Ube is commonly topped with cheese, this bakery really missed the opportunity to actually be culturally on point. So much for Ube getting mainstream if none of these businesses get it right anyway. They always mess up asian cuisines and culture by making their "own version". Dont disrespect our ube broski (I can feel/taste the ube on the paste but it just isnt enough, it needs more) (update, i take it back. Tried it in the morning where it wasn't as cold. It was actually soft and spongy, the ube taste was stronger and it was quite delectable. Keep up the good work, i see room for improvement though)

    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

    This is located in Whole Foods bakery area. They do have teas for those who do not drink coffee…read more The offer pastries but I feel it may not really be utilized since the location is in the bakery area of Whole Foods. 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. The are several other options that I would try next time I visit.

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.

    I love this place! I moved away shortly after they opened but before I left, I was there every week…read moresometimes two times per week. I come back frequently and this is the first place I want to visit. The food is refreshing. Not heavy. Perfect portions and perfectly priced. We usually get sandwiches, wings, and we have tried a few of their different drinks and all are delicious. The service is top tier. They are so friendly and accommodating. They always make me feel welcome and appreciated. The place is beautifully decorated and there is so much to look at. It's fancy but also inviting and fun. Recently we celebrated a graduation and birthday and they were able to accommodate all 26 of us. Everyone ordered food and a beverage and it was more than affordable. I can't wait to come back later this month.

    I had called to make reservation, this was maybe 5 months ago right around when they were just…read moreopened. I let them know I had 3 people and asked if I needed a reservation for 3 people. They guy on the phone, said no, I did not need a reservation for 3 and to just show up and they will seat us right away. I get there and we wait, and wait, and wait, and my friend eventually got up to explain to the hostesses that we were apparently given false information since we were waiting 45 minutes at this point. She did apologize and said that the person that answered was new and should have let us make a reservation. We were seating within about 5 minutes of that. With that little hiccup, things did get better. The waitress was so very sweet. She kept our water flowing and our drinks coming. Since it was our first time, she explained everything. We ordered the tea service which was so cute and whimsical. The whole place was whimsical. It was like being a little girl in a doll house playing make believe tea party. The presentation of the tea service was beautiful. All the desserts were outstanding and the teas were so flavorful. Each one was different and there are so many to choose from, that you would have to go back multiple times to try them all. They have a great martini espresso and again, presentation is great, the glass does not have a stem, but this elegant holder, holds the glass in place. The salad was refreshing and light. Everything was so clean too. And there are so many insta worthy spots to take photos. Dinning here is like taking a step out of adulthood reality to a childlike world of fun and fantasy.

    After an exceptional trip to Japan, I've been craving fruit sandos and was lucky to learn about…read moreSweet Handkraft! The strawberry sandos definitely scratched that itch! I decided to try the miso udon carbonara as well since they announced it as a regular menu item. It's so buttery and flavorful, and the udon noodles are perfect. I got the spam musubi just because I hadn't had one in some years, and it was really good. Nostalgia won this time! I'll be back for other sandos and more treats! The menu has so many options!

The gentleman that was making our drinks didn't really seem like he wanted to be there and wasn't as friendly as the others. We love Asian inspired flavors like pandan and ube and this place had it all! There were so many innovative and unique ice cream flavors like Vietnamese coffee, lychee, pandan coconut, etc. It was a little overwhelming at first because there was just so many desserts and drinks to choose from! They also had cafe drinks and we ordered a few to try! I had the banana pudding matcha latte and it's honestly one of the better matcha lattes I've had. There were scoops of banana pudding in the matcha both on the bottom and top. Each sip had that delicious banana flavor (not artificial) along with the matcha. It wasn't too sweet and banana goes extremely well with the matcha. My SIL had the lavender matcha latte and she enjoyed it as well. Lavender can overpower alot of flavors if not done right and they did it right here! The flavors were balanced well without it being too floral. My husband had the latte with pandan cream foam and what he loved about it was that he can taste the pandan flavor. Pandan is a very light and delicate flavor so it can get a bit muddled with other flavors. I tried it and the pandan's flavor was bold and bright. Mixed with the espresso and milk and it was creamy and delicious. We also got three cookies to try: Vietnamese coffee, ube, and pandan coconut. The cookies were about $5 a pop but they were so worth it! They were all huge and jam stuffed with either chocolate chips, coconut, or white chocolate chips! I am literally still dreaming about the cookies! My favorite cookie was probably the pandan coconut one but the ube and Vietnamese coffee one were close. The Vietnamese coffee cookie was good but the flavor of the coffee could be stronger. I do appreciate how rich and decadent each cookie was and I will absolutely come back just for the cookies haha. They had a bunch of different and unique flavors too! We also got some ice cream to try. My husband had the pandan coconut and SIL got the cream cheese red velvet. They know how to make their ice cream right that's for sure. The flavors were like a punch to your face (in a good way) and we all agreed that they were both delicious. I'm knocking one star off because the service could be a little friendlier. Can't wait to come back and try more desserts off their menu (they had cakes, macarons, etc.).
