I’ve stopped into Evolve for coffee and a breakfast at least a dozen times on my way to work, and they never disappoint. The baristas are friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s darn good coffee. My wife and I even come back on the weekends for a treat. It’s a great place to visit if you’re looking for a locally owned New Orleans coffee and matcha shop.

We drive from Houma 3 times a week for the matcha at Evolve. That's how good it is! PS add the turkey pesto sandwich to your bucket list, it's tasty and filling.

The ambiance is open, clean, and great for getting work or studying done. It’s usually pretty quiet, with few conversationalists or gossipers—though it never hurts to keep your earbuds handy. Soft background music and a two-room layout help minimize neighboring noise. The staff are friendly and become genuinely personable once they get to know you. Orders are prepared efficiently, and the drinks never disappoint. The only drawback is that the food selection is quite limited.

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.
