    Great Ambiance, nice Drink. Nice people. I pass this place every morning with no time to stop. I had time today!! I mean, I love Matcha so it was a must try. The look of the place is very welcoming and apparently I'm late to the party because the line was long. Only thing, there were only 2 workers so it moved a little on the slower side. Also, they get cool points for the cute little reading nook area. I ordered the white chocolate matcha with oat milk. The matcha itself is high quality. Idk. You can just tell. Nice and bright, beautiful green matcha. The flavor is great. My problem was, that's all I could taste was the might. Almost forgot there was chocolate in there because I couldn't taste it at all but I watched the barista put it in the cup and it wasn't very sweet. Still a great matcha by itself. I'd definitely go back because I was eyeing the lavender matcha. Besides the lack of chocolate flavor and the wait time this is a nice coffee shop and definitely worth visiting.

    My favorite pet friendly coffee shop in lakeview. They have great coffee and plenty of space to relax in plus the staff is always warm and welcoming.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The vibe was chill and welcoming as soon as I walked in. Nathan took my order and recommended the Rose Matcha w/ honey and it is sooo good ! I should've gotten a large . First time coming here and I will be back when I'm in town !

    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.

    Iced matcha latte

    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.

    Lavender matcha latte

    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!

    Cozy place to read/study. There is music playing, but it isn't too loud and I can still focus. Get the pandan matcha while it's still here

    Gambino's is one the most popular, time-tested king cakes in New Orleans. They make 'em fresh and…read morestack them high with lots to varieties to choose from. Very convenient location on Veterans with easy parking and no lines. It's too sweet for me, but that is how most king cakes are. Incredibly thankful that they were still making them the day after Mardi Gras (they were the *only* one after I checked out 4 other popular places) so we could take some on the flight home to friends. The king cake also tastes great with a very slight heating in the microwave, it softens the dough and enhances the flavor.

    Gambino's: synonymous with King Cakes. I've shipped them from here to my cousin in NY and they were…read morewell received. I've eaten other yummy treats out of the case. Note the word YUMMY. However, this review is about customer service. I took my sister-in-law in during this Mardi Gras to buy her first real King Cake. (How does that happen? She's in her 50's!) 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.)
