    Later Gator business cards :)
    Kia L.

    Later Gator is tucked away on South congress at "the Lawn" and is now one of my favorite matcha spots, what a lovely hidden gem! I had the pleasure of trying their matcha w/ oat milk and black berry cold foam today! The cold foam really elevated the matcha! It was phenomenal! The service was very friendly and welcoming! Really nice flavor combinations, beautiful coffee truck with a nice attention to detail. I will be back again!

    Parking info not free Sundays.

    Visited on a Sunday afternoon at around 2 pm. Great customer service and drinks were delicious. Parked on the street, parking was not free on a Sunday in this area. Lots of space in the patio to sit, read and enjoy our coffee and beignets. Loved their options on their holiday menu as well as their original menu.

    Stopped by this adorable little coffee truck and absolutely loved it! I got the Pelican and it was a little sweet with a strong banana flavor but I loved it. I can't wait to try other things from them

    Rating: 4.6/5 Later Gator Coffee is a cute pink truck located at the Lawn. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised to find no line. I ordered one of their summer specials--the Meringue Gator ($7) with oat milk (+$0.75). It's a coconut and white chocolate matcha topped with meringue cold foam and toasted coconut flakes. I expected it to be super sweet and heavy, but it was actually perfectly balanced. All the flavors blended beautifully, making it feel like a refreshing treat rather than a dessert overload. I'm definitely coming back to try more of their drinks!

    What a cute little coffee (and more importantly, matcha!) truck Head on over to Drinks Backyard to find this gem. Their lot is small in the front, but plenty of parking in the rear of the building. Walking up, you are greeted by some little gator plushies, and even at the window there are some fun little gator Easter eggs to see. Barista was super nice and recommended a type of milk for me that would go best with the drink I ordered (The Gator). Matcha seemed good quality and WOW the cold foam was so delicious. Also got to try the beignets which here are a little bit like donuts with powdered sugar on top. They also have other toppings for them, which I'd love to try next time. They came out PIPING hot & were delicious even after I drove them home (~20 min post-fry). Finally please note they have a punch card reward system, which is valid at both locations - they just opened on S Congress too. Will be back for more of their fun drinks.

    We got the Lavender Latte with oat milk and the Swamp Rose Black Tea. Both were great! Very refreshing. The truck is cute and the space is very nice. We will return :)

    This has to be the nicest staff and service out there. I love that this is a local woman owned business and the owner has the best heart. My absolute favorite is her merengue gator matcha!!!

    This place only has chill outdoor vibes with multiple outdoor seating, has more parking spot in the back, restrooms are available, staff is kind and food is good! Good for a coffee and dessert treat

    Ordered two coffees because I couldn't choose just one. Amazing coffee & the beignets were delicious. Service was great, good music, shade at the picnic tables and I found parking to be easy.

    Later Gator Coffee is such a gem! The coffee and tea are both excellent -- you can really tell they put care into every drink. I'm also a huge fan of their beignets -- absolutely delicious! I love that the whole place is Louisiana-themed; the vibes are so fun, welcoming, and unique. The staff is incredibly friendly and makes you feel right at home. I also love that they have games and books you can enjoy while you hang out at the picnic tables outside. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy good company. Parking can be a little tight up front, but there's plenty of parking available in the back, so it's never an issue. Highly recommend checking them out -- you'll be glad you did!

    Potato Egg and Cheese Taco; bacon cheese taco; beignets; lemonade tea drink thing

    Came across this trailer almost by accident back in August (so a little delayed on my review by a few months), but very happy that I did. The breakfast tacos were wonderful, but it was the beignets that were out of this world. So soft & pillowy; I could have eaten 20! I went just for the original ones with powdered sugar and I'm obsessed. I'm not a tea drinker but I tried one of the drinks that had lemonade, juice & green tea which was delicious and I would certainly get again. The little area it is parked in was nice and I liked that they had a little shelf with some games on it whilst we were waiting for our food.

I got the Matcha-Cha off the seasonal menu, which had a great balance of matcha flavor and lightly sweet strawberry ice cream. The roasted walnuts added a really nice break in texture, which I loved. My husband ordered the Campfire with added ice cream, which was rich and very chocolaty. The charred marshmallow on top was a great touch and made it extra indulgent. Overall, a great late night dessert stop with solid flavors and friendly service. Definitely worth checking out when you're craving something sweet!

There wasn't a line (it was a pretty hot day) so we managed to order quickly. We opted to split the Black Betty. It was huge!! I loved the blackberry sauce and fruit mixed in with the cream and sugar. This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day.

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

The staff were friendly when we got our drinks, but the exchange was brief. The space, though, is super Instagrammable with lots of playful decor. Parking is a little tight out front, with some extra spots along the side street. I ordered the crème brûlée taro milk tea with boba, and my husband got the regular crème brûlée milk tea with boba. Flavor-wise it was good, but my drink had a lot happening texture-wise. Between the crystallized sugar, grainy taro, and boba, it caught me by surprise.

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.

Our server was super friendly and helpful. She recommended a couple of her favorite smoothies. I ordered the Sweet Corn Cake Benedict: poached eggs, jalapeño cheddar corn cakes, avocado, tomato & corn salsa (4/5). I liked and enjoyed my breakfast, which was fresh and light. Berry Basil Smoothie: blueberry, strawberry, basil, banana, agave, pomegranate, coconut water, lime juice (4/5). This was very delicious. My coworkers order the Everything Sandwich: everything cream cheese, peppered bacon, baby kale, roasted roma tomatoes (4/5). Flavorful, with a light freshness of all the ingredients. My other coworker ordered a side of Breakfast Potatoes & a Detox Juice: acai, pomegranate, coconut water, lime. Both really liked the breakfast potatoes, which had a crisp exterior crunch yet soft and creamy inside. Come check them out. Support your local business.
