Day off so I was able to check this cute coffee spot on Harrison. It was bright and open on the inside. I was warmly greeted by the cashier. They have a large selection of coffee, matcha and desserts available. I went with an Iced Latte and warmed cinnamon roll which was moist and delicious. The latte was good as well. There's a large indoor seating area as well as tables outside. They offered free WiFi if you want to sit and work which a few people were doing. It was a nice experience! read more

I went to Evolve with the intent to study and try it out since I have heard a lot of people raving about this place. The employees are nice and gave us plenty of time to look at the menu before we ordered. The space is bigger than I expected, with lots of seating areas, tables, and couches. There are also a lot of outlets anf the music is not too loud in my opinion, so I believe it is the perfect study spot. I ordered Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso with oat milk and I am not the biggest fan of it. There was a weird sour after taste to the coffee which I am unsure where it is coming from. I imagine if it was a little sweeter, it may have been more enjoyable. When I sat down to start on some work, I tried to connect to the cafe wifi, having seen the password posted on a sheet of paper near the counter. The wifi gave me and my friend a couple issues when trying to connect. After about 5-10 minutes of errors and no internet signals, we decided to use out hotspots. We were eventually able to use the wifi after maybe 30 minutes, so if you are able to find a connection, it is fine but if you are unable to, it can be frustrating. read more

Great coffee! Was at the mall and gave it a try. Will def. visit again. Had the Cold Brew.

The people working were SO sweet, and the drink was beautiful and the place was cute...but I did not like the matcha which is sad bc i had heard great things! I simply could not taste the matcha flavor, just strawberry milk. read more

I am that person that goes to a coffee shop and orders Tea or lemonade. Luckily this shop did not disappoint me. I ordered the Hibiscus Lemonade which was refreshing. It was a little too tart for my tastebuds but still good. The cashier was quick and very helpful all while keeping a smile. I was with 3 other people and all drinks were out fast. We only spent about 10 minutes in the store but it seemed calm and like a great atmosphere to relax or get some work done. read more

Felt like your average generic coffee shop franchise. Food was subpar-drinks were nothing to rave about. They could be better. Definitely think it's good for a swift on the go grab a cup of joe spot but not a place I'm going out the way weekly to satisfy my caffeine cravings. read more

Evolve Coffee + Matcha - Iced Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

They hosted some sort of sheriff's office meeting, shutting down over half of the already overcrowded cafe, taking up the already limited parking. The staff was unusually short-winded and rude. Understandably, they were probably overwhelmed. This is very poor planning, not to mention the threatening atmosphere of having a person guard the door. The quality of my coffee seemed to be impacted as well. I had to stand and wait for my order with a leg injury. read more

I love local shops and eateries. My daughter heard about this place from some college friends. Welcoming staff! Great location in a nice neighborhood. Atmosphere very cozy. Visited with my daughter and teenage nieces. We all loved it! Drinks and pastries were top notch. Cinnamon rolls-muffins-hot chocolate-matcha - all delicious. I'll definitely put this location in my rotation. read more

Stopped in for a matcha and cold brew. Didn't disappoint, added a fresh chocolate chip cookie. Wouldn't get the cookie again but the drinks were good. Matcha is whisked with the appropriate brush and well steeped. read more

Walked up and was served right away. My son ordered a cinnamon roll and chocolate milk. The cinnamon roll was heated up by request. It was delicious. The chocolate chip cookie was fresh and tasty. I ordered a black iced tea. The service is amazing. The two ladies were so lovely to my son. They gave him a sticker. It is a very casual laid back place. The music was perfect. read more

Atmosphere - eh. Dead. Service - Alright, they did their job. Order: ------- * Iced Latte with Pistachio Syrup - Bland. Thought the pistachio syrup was gonna do something.......it did not * Banana Nut Muffin - Barley had taste. It's mainly sweet with barely any flavor. Paid around $14 dollar. Honestly, I would rather go to Starbucks. read more

I love coming to Evolve whenever i'm in NOLA. Their matcha is top tier and they have good flavor combinations to mix it up. I really like the hot chocolate matcha that they do, because I haven't seen that anywhere else. The cafe has a nice vibe, with music flowing and people sitting around chatting. It is a good place to get some work done and have a nice drink and snack. read more

This is such a cute coffee shop with a pleasant staff. They have ceremonial matcha here. I thought I didn't like matcha but I decided to try their ceremonial matcha and I guess I've just been having terrible quality matcha before this because now I can't get enough. read more

Evolve is the best coffee shop around! The matcha is TOP TIER. I'm obsessed! This is the only coffee shop loyalty program I'm apart of because of how much I frequent Evolve! It's so worth it!! My go to order is a white chocolate matcha! I also love all their seasonal drinks. Really can't go wrong here. If you want some more caffeine, try the iced evolution -- espresso and matcha! read more

Love everything about this place - matcha, ambience and lighting but the wifi cutting out and not working for my friend and I (very slow at times or won't load videos) is a big minus for me. Please fix the wifi I'd love to visit more often :( read more

I've been here a few times. They seem to stay pretty busy. The first time I picked up a latte, the service was quick commensurate to how busy they were. The second time, they seemed to actually take quite a long time in the back storeroom before they even got to my latte. They even seemed to have some people's drinks ready that were behind me done first. BUT in all fairness maybe those people's orders were sent in prior to mine via an app. I would still come back by this location. The lattes are a delicious treat and it is in a good location. Lots of seating. Street parking. read more

Having this new location of Evolve so close by might be dangerous for my wallet! However, it's super exciting because it's such a great place to be able to do work and it's a dedicated cafe to Matcha :) . Their hours are also super great (open early in the morning till the evening) and it's located in a pretty calm, safe neighborhood of Lakeview and parking wasn't an issue. I've always wanted to visit the original Metairie location, but haven't had the chance to, but I was excited to see that this new location opened up which is super close to me. I had the Iced White Chocolate Matcha and it was great. Additionally, I had a cinnamon roll which I really enjoyed. They also have seasonal Christmas flavors and I can't wait to make this a regular place to do work and explore all of the different Matcha teas on their menu. The vibes here are classy casual and there's also a ton of space to be able to do work. read more

I'm so glad Evolve recently opened a location in Lakeview (in addition to their Metairie location)! The Iced Evolution is so good -- such a good blend of matcha and espresso, which I wouldn't think would work, but it does. The space is huge; tons of tables for studying or working. They also have a lot of rotating specials with a few food options! read more

Evolve Coffee + Matcha - Iced Evolution - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I've visited this café a few times, mainly to grab a matcha, and I have to say, the White Chocolate Matcha is my favorite! I haven't really explored their coffee options, though I did try the half matcha, half coffee drink once, and it wasn't the best. This location is notably more spacious compared to their Metairie spot, which is nice if you're looking for a place to sit and relax. The staff here are always friendly, making the experience pleasant. My only complaint? The tables--they're definitely due for an upgrade. read more

Ever since Evolve opened it's doors during the pandemic, it's been my go-to coffee spot in Metairie. I was happy to hear about their new location in Lakeview and decided to check it out. Lots of space, tables and great place to get work done. We spent a few hours here and will be back. Such a great addition! I got the iced evolution (matcha with espresso) which was perfect as always. read more

Evolve Coffee + Matcha - Iced Evolution - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I was excited to see a new coffee shop open in Lakeview. Especially after my favorite shop closed down recently, but I don't know that this is going to be my new spot. To start the building is very nice. They have a small parking lot in the back. The building is larger than I expected with tons of natural light, natural wood tones, and lots of seating. It would definitely be a nice place to study or read a book. I came around 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, so there weren't very many people inside. The gentleman at the counter was polite and helpful. We ordered a hot matcha latte and a hot lavender matcha latte. Since matcha is one of their specialties, I wanted to give it a try. The matcha is hand-whisked, which is a nice touch. The taste of the matcha latte was good, but not great. The lavender matcha was too strong on the lavender. Overall, decent drinks. I was a bit disappointed in the prices of their drinks. I was hoping for something closer to PJ's or Nola Beans, rather than Starbucks prices. This ends up being pretty close to Starbucks' cost, which is just excessive IMO for what you get. I may come back for Matcha every once in a while, but I doubt I will make this a regular visit. Ambiance: 4 stars Service: 4 stars Drinks: 3 stars Value: 2 stars read more

Interior was beautiful and customer service was good. The only and biggest complaint I have is that whoever made my drink did a very poor job. You cannot taste the matcha, the oat milk, the coffee, or really anything at all. It was like drinking water. I still want to give this place another chance though. :( read more

Good coffee drinks, great location but the WiFi is sketchy and parking is sometimes a challenge. If you come here, make sure it's to meet someone or read a book and you don't have to get anything done using the internet. Good service and ambience. read more

They have great matcha here! I would come here every day if I could. I really like their iced matcha latte. The service is friendly. They do allow dogs all over the shop, though, so it's not great if you have allergies. read more

I was so excited to see Evolve in Lakeview, especially since I live in the area and it's super close to my house. I decided to visit today (11/18/2023) since I was running errands and I was craving an egg nog latte. To know me is to know that I love all things egg nog, so when I saw on their Instagram that they had it on their holiday menu, I didn't need any other reason to visit. Well, I walk in and I have to say the inside is beautiful. You can tell care and thought went into the design for this location, and that I appreciate. When I walked in, there was a young lady in the back was washing some things and there were two other young ladies manning the counter. One of them having brown shoulder length hair and was making two orders and the other with the very low haircut was refilling the syrups. The longer hair one saw me when I walked in and did not acknowledge me as I stood and waited at the counter for about 5 minutes. Yes, FIVE (if not more) minutes went by while she couldn't even find the decency to say "hey! Thanks for coming in, we'll be with you in a second." Nope, she proceeded to keep making Jim's order. Then at some point she told the short haired one something and she finally decided to stop refilling the syrups to very dryly say "what can I get you." I know I should have left, and if this was any other situation I would have, but I really wanted to give this location a chance. She made my iced egg nog latte and I left. I am currently sitting in my car writing this review because I cannot believe how poor the customer service was for me. This was a totally different experience from the W. Esplanades location. Although it is a bit out of my way, I will continue taking my business there until the staff at the Lakeview location learn what good customer service is for their patrons. And to top it off, my latte was not good, AT ALL! I know other people may not share my experience, and I am happy for them, but I really don't see myself coming back here. read more

I wanted to try something other than Starbucks so I can hear before work. The service sucked. Two young employees chatting with I guess someone they knew.
