    Maple matcha
    Ayesha W.

    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
    Justin K.

    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!

    Really nice spot! The inside is laid back and modern. The cashier during the evening of 4/8/24 was so cool! She's so friendly and welcoming. The lavender matcha was smooth and fragrant! I want another one right now! LOL. It wasn't overly sweet either, which was a plus for me! Give this place a try if you enjoy matcha.

    I was visiting my friend in NOLA recently and was looking for coffee shops to visit in the mornings. I saw how cute this place was online and had to come here. I always love it when a shop has lavender or rose flavored items so this spot definitely caught my eye while I was browsing. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte and my friend got the Lavender Matcha Latte. Both were so tasty and refreshing. Staff was so friendly and drinks came out pretty quick. Great place to catch up with a friend or do some work/study. Ambiance is so cozy and cute - great lighting, pretty decor with greenery.

    Lavender Matcha Iced Latte

    Lavender Matcha Iced Latte Stopped in to try the coffee. Saw the lavender matcha latte on the menu that I had to try. I'm a sucker for lavender in my coffee so why not try my matcha. Opt'd for oak milk and it was delish Super fast to make the order and friendly staff. Modern design but cozy as well. I marked this on down as a revisit when in the area.

    New favorite coffee shop!! The one on Harrison avenue is brand new and so cute. My coffees have been literally some of the best iced coffee ever. It's always super quick. Just wish they had a drive through. Going to end up spending too much money here.

    Rose matcha
    Youngone K.

    This place is an unassuming haven for a matcha enthusiast. I really enjoyed the array of options listed as well as fun summer drink offerings which I took advantage of. The London glow and rose matchas are true to form - noticeable but no overpowering/conflict of scents happening here. I really enjoyed my interaction with the barista, Key, who helped us settle on our choices based off our personal preferences. My friend and I were both pleased and would make the drive out to this cozy spot again. They certainly do matcha justice

    London Glow Matcha
    Caroline F.

    I love everything about this place! The vibe is so chill and quiet, the drinks are delicious no matter what you order, the workers are so kind and helpful! I live in Lafayette but travel to Nola a lot and this has become my new study spot. The London Glow is to DIEEE FORRR, I wish I could live here

    I was excited to try Sweet handKraft, as the interior is genuinely lovely, nicely decorated,…read morewell-lit, and immediately welcoming. The staff were friendly, and the $9 croffle, which came out hot and fresh, was truly excellent and the highlight of the visit (a tip I got from another customer, not the staff). Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. I ordered the Shokupan (Japanese milk bread with ice cream and strawberries), which the menu clearly listed at $13. I was charged $15 on the receipt. When I brought this discrepancy to the associates, they explained that the price had been recently changed and the manager was "not good with technology," making them unable to correct the digital board. I explained that having a misleading price displayed at the point of sale is false advertisement and requested a simple $2 refund for the difference. The associates stated there was "nothing they could do" and suggested I speak to the owner. The owner came forward disgruntled. When I explained the situation, he did not apologize or attempt to de-escalate. Instead, he flatly stated there are no refunds, told me the price was $15, and tried to reprimand me for not accepting his verbal price correction after I had already been charged. He said it's not a big deal, prices change all the time, all this over two dollars, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable. The sheer lack of professionalism, transparency, and simple customer courtesy was staggering. The owner's refusal to honor the price they were actively advertising left a sour taste that no dessert could fix. To add insult to injury, the Shokupan itself was underwhelming and in my opinion, not worth the $15 I paid: just a big chunk of dry bread topped with a scoop of ice cream. While the croffle was a treat, I cannot in good conscience recommend giving business to an establishment whose owner is willing to cause a scene over a $2 error of his own making (although he eventually gave me the $2 refund) demonstrating a clear disregard for community and honest business practices.

    Where has this place been my whole life? It's the most amazing mix of Asian flavors. Bulgogi egg…read moretoast? Yes please. Massive delicious cookies? Yep. Ice cream? It's got everything you could ever want! Me and my husband tried so many things and all were delicious; our favorites were the Bulgogi egg toast, Mochi beignets and the Ube banana pudding.

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.

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.)
