Matcha Magic

1 year ago

Went here on a Saturday morning and was pretty busy. I've gone here a couple of times and know that I love the Regular Iced matcha latte, so i got it again today but was slightly disappointed. My drink was lacking in flavor and more than 50% full of ice. I tried to fish out the ice to see if it made a difference and it honestly did make it a little bit better. The Coconut cloud matcha was okay also. The coconut portion honestly tasted like the boxed coconut drink you can get at the store but that's all i tasted in the drink tbh. After letting the drink sit for a couple of minutes, the coconut drink was a little bit better. read more

The matcha is delicious and service was very fast. The interior was also super cute! The only issue is the price. Without tip, my total was $25. I understand the high quality of the matcha, but the cost of the toast was ridiculous for what I had. The toast itself was smaller than my hand and comically cut in half. I would definitely come back for the drinks. read more

I ordered the coconut cloud matcha as recommended by the cashier and I will say this one is a 10/10 delicious !! It looks a little weird before mixing but the taste is a perfect mixture of coconut water and their matcha. I also ordered the matcha magic latte with oat milk. For this one it was good, but the flavor of the matcha was not strong. It mostly tasted of oat milk to me. The area is very cute, a good study space, and everyone was very very friendly. read more

Great matcha and great environment to enjoy your drink or do some work. The service is also pretty fast. Now, I am someone who enjoys a drink accompanied by food so I ordered their avocado toast which I really did not enjoy. The spread was artificial avocado and it had a terrible after taste which just took away from the matcha. read more

For my first visit, I got the strawberry matcha which came up quickly after I placed the order and my son tried the lavender matcha that he said was pretty good.

Overpriced basic smoothies...the bowls and toast as well. So overpriced. It's like a knock off Main squeeze/Erewhon tonic bar menu but less aura pts and no wellness shots no juices j don't understand why there' no hot chocolate when that's easy profit and they have the ingredients. Regardless forget hot chocolate This place is literally a knock off purgatory like place of Main Squeeze and Erewhon tonic bar but way less options for drinks and add ons/enchantments such as sea moss, coconut shreds. Granola ??? And extra coconut cream means normal amount. Like portion and price are not adding up. Matcha and the coconut cream are the only two things I would recommend here. The chia pudding is more like chia seeeds with gush and generic rice puff granola mix with some bananas and strawberries smh. Where are the dry gogi or blue berries...... options lack of options .... Wouldn't recommend getting delivery; I can taste the difference they never add in the extras when I order delivery but there's no problem in store. 2 stars just because it's locally owned and looks like a woman owns the business and another star for their coconut cream and matcha. Prices need to go down or size needs to increase. read more

Although this is primarily a matcha spot, I decided to try their smoothies after seeing online that they're a good dupe for Erewhon's Strawberry Glaze and Coconut Cloud. I ordered both, and overall they were really good! The Strawberry Glaze had a bit of a bitter aftertaste -- not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or if the fruit just wasn't at its best that day. But the Coconut Cloud? Absolutely delicious. So creamy and flavorful -- definitely a favorite! Even with the soft opening, my order came out pretty quickly. The space itself is super cute, clean, and welcoming. I'm excited to come back and try more soon! read more

I got the strawberry matcha and loved it! It was amazing that it was made with fresh strawberries as opposed to syrups which typically have a lot of bad ingredients. They whisk your matcha right in front of you so you can see how it's made! The employees were doing a great job as well. The girl that took my order was joyful and honestly made my day better. Lol!

me and my friend were looking for a new matcha spot and decided to try out matcha magic! The inside is super cute and they even had their own merch, but there is very minimal seating. The banana matcha smoothie was really good, it had more of a banana/cinnamon taste than matcha and the price was a bit pricey for the amount you're getting. My friend had the strawberry matcha which tasted more like strawberry than matcha. Overall very little matcha flavor. read more

I really wanted to try because I'm not a big fan of French food I guess I should've tried the duck. There may be some good food here, but I won't be back till to find out we were both underwhelmed. Hopefully they fix the problems if somebody else gives a better review, but I cannot. We both agree the french fries were good. Ambience is pretty good with their remodeling so the bathroom was like a 5 to 10 minute wait it's only one person at a time and women kept using the men's room because it's only. So I had to wait two times for women to come out. Single serve bathrooms definitely are not adequate, but they're doing the best they can during remodeling.

When I walked in the staff greeted me with a smile and was very engaging. We discussed some of her favorites. I opted for the pancakes. However, I needed more protein so I added a fried egg and smoked salmon. I also ordered drip coffee. One thing I appreciate is that she asked if I needed non dairy milk for my coffee, I opted for oat, and there was no additional charge! That means so much in today's world where everything extra will cost you ! My order came out quick. The food did what I needed it to do. It was good and made me feel good! The coffee was just ok, and the only thing I would not order again. It's a spot worth checking out if you want a break from the good ole carbs and fried food the city is known for.

Matcha Magic has quickly become a favorite for good reason. This café is vibrant, playful, and full of charm -- from pastel decor and cozy vibes to the calming scent of freshly whisked matcha. The star of the menu is the Purple Rain, a dreamy blend of matcha, ube, and lavender that's both comforting and refreshing. It's a unique combination that perfectly balances earthy, sweet, and floral notes. The matcha here is clearly high quality, prepared with care, and every sip feels like a treat. The food is just as impressive. The Lox On toast is loaded with silky smoked salmon, cream cheese, and dill on thick, crusty bread -- a savory, satisfying matcha pairing. They also serve refreshing acai bowls with a variety of bases like pitaya and even matcha, all topped with fresh fruit and superfoods. Whether you're stopping in for a quick sip or staying to work inside the cafe, Matcha Magic nails the vibe. It's more than a café -- it's a go-to destination for great drinks, nourishing food, and a feel-good atmosphere that keeps you coming back. read more

I'll admit it, I wasn't a Matcha Man at first. I'd only heard about matcha through friends in Japan, but when word got out that Matcha Magic was coming to New Orleans, I knew I had to check it out. I'm glad I did. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The space is bright, clean, and inviting. Decorated with a modern vibe that feels balanced with wellness and cool café culture. let's talk about the merch! Their apparel section is well-curated, huge kudos to whoever's behind that. I had the chance to meet the owner, and she was such a warm, passionate presence. It's always inspiring to see a young entrepreneur building something this new, a true trend setter. Now for the stars of the show: Salmon Toast - Flavorful, fresh, and satisfying without being too heavy. MatchaMallow, unique sweet treat with smooth, quality matcha flavor. This was more than just a pit stop, it was an experience. I'll definitely be back a lot. I'm a Matcha Man now. FYE!!! read more

Matcha Magic is one of the cutest little matcha bars we've ever visited. The ambiance is clean, calm, and very welcoming. You're greeted as soon as you walk in, which immediately sets a positive tone. We decided to try the Matcha Lemonade and the Matcha Julep, and both were excellent. The Matcha Julep had the perfect amount of mint combined with the strong, rich flavor of matcha, creating a refreshing and unique blend. The addition of blue spirulina not only gave it a beautiful color but also added great health benefits. The Matcha Lemonade was a perfect balance of sweetness with the cool, calming taste of matcha. It was light, refreshing, and very enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Matcha Magic and can't wait to go back to try more of their creative matcha drinks. read more

great experience, 10/10 definitely recommend, Matcha Magic truly lives up to its name! The vibrant green color is a great sign of its quality, and the taste is spot on - smooth, earthy, and delightfully free from bitterness. I've been incorporating it into my daily routine, and the clean energy boost is incredible; it provides sustained focus without any harsh jitters. It dissolves effortlessly, making both traditional whisked matcha and creamy lattes a breeze to prepare. This has quickly become my favorite way to enjoy a healthy and delicious energizer. Highly recommended for any matcha lover! read more

I was in town for a few days and was devastated to find Matcha Magic on the second to last day of my trip. It is one of the better matcha I have had in the states. Of course I went back two days in a row. Absolutely delicious matcha and an equally yummy smoothie. If you like a matcha latte where you can actually taste matcha instead of milk/cream, then this is the place to go. The strawberry smoothie I tried on the first day was phenomenal as well. If I'm ever back in town, this is where you will find me. Amazing people, decent seating, amazing matcha! read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Matcha Magic! The Magic Matcha Latte was excellent, and the Perfect Date smoothie was absolutely spot on. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which always makes a big difference. The space has a really cool ambiance and great energy, though it's worth noting it can get a little too loud if you're looking for a quiet spot to lock in and get some work done. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for incredible drinks and a lively atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

Drinks are amazing here so is the staff!! I didn't expect to be this impressed, but this matcha completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I opened the container, the vibrant green color stood out--it looked fresh, high-quality, and carefully sourced. The aroma was clean and slightly sweet, without any of the grassy bitterness that lower-grade matcha sometimes has. read more

Witches Brew Coffee

I have no notes for Witches Brew!…read more The coffee is consistently good, and I loooove their house-made syrups and cold foam flavors.

It's the kind of place you can stop by for a quick coffee or hang out and enjoy the vibe. Bonus points for having a solid rewards program, too! I'm definitely a repeat customer, and for good reason. Highly recommend!

Good music, good drinks, good energy. I'll definitely be back!

I decided to stop by St. Noir while visiting New Orleans after seeing some of their drinks online…read more The Wedding Cake Latte and Cookie Butter Chai both caught my attention, so I figured I'd give the place a try. The cafe itself is cute. It has a cozy coffee shop vibe and seems like the kind of place where you could grab a drink, sit down, and relax for a while. When I visited on a Saturday evening, it was pretty quiet. There was one girl working on a laptop, a group of friends who looked like they were catching up, and a couple waiting on drinks they had already ordered. Other than that, it was basically empty. It also appeared that there was only one employee working, so it was a good thing there wasn't a long line or anything. Customer service is a huge part of my experience when I visit a business. A place can have amazing drinks and a great atmosphere, but if the customer service is poor, it affects the entire experience for me. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted or acknowledged at all. Not a "welcome in," not a "hey, I'll be with you in a minute," nothing. I stood at the register looking over the menu while the employee finished making drinks for the couple who was waiting. Once she came over, I smiled and said, "Hey, how are you?" but didn't receive that same energy in return. There was no smile, no friendly greeting, and the interaction immediately felt very dry. Since it was my first visit, I asked what she would recommend for someone who likes sweeter drinks. She responded, "Everything here is sweet," but even that was said in a tone that felt annoyed and dismissive and didn't really help me narrow anything down. I was trying to decide between the Wedding Cake Latte and the Cookie Butter Chai. I then asked whether the Wedding Cake Latte actually tasted like cake. The reason I asked is because I've had plenty of experiences at coffee shops where a drink sounds amazing on the menu, but when you actually get it, it mostly tastes like coffee with only a tiny hint of the advertised flavor. A lot of times I end up having to add extra syrup because the flavor is so subtle. When I asked if it really tasted like cake, she responded, "Uh, yeah." In a tone that came across like a "duh" response. From the lack of greeting to the tone of responses, to the overall energy of the interaction, it all felt cold, dismissive, and like I was bothering her just by being there. I'm not from there and it was my first visit, so I was simply trying to make a decision, but I left feeling very unwelcome. I honestly considered leaving and saying don't worry about it because the interaction was that off-putting, especially since it wasn't busy at all. I decided to order anyways because I had already been anticipating trying it on this trip and had already drove all the way there. I ended up order the Cookie Butter Chai and it was really good. The flavor came through well. I just wish it was a bigger size. One small thing I noticed was that the drink came with whipped cream, but I wasn't asked whether I wanted it. It wasn't a huge issue because I don't dislike whipped cream, but I typically decline it when given the option. Since I didn't know it came with it and wasn't asked, I didn't really get the opportunity to choose. Overall, the atmosphere is cute, and the drink itself was good. However, I was genuinely surprised by the customer service because I had seen reviews describing the staff as friendly and welcoming, and my experience was the complete opposite. The drink was good, but the service left a negative impression.
