Lamara Coffee & Kitchen

Such a pretty cafe! We had a great lunch at Lamara Coffee & Kitchen. I love their plant based menu. Tried their burger with the house-made bean patty and it was delicious. One thing I hope they'll do is offer ketchup!! The coffee was also perfect. Staff is kind and helpful. Service was quite fast. We sat inside as it was a hot day but their outside seating area looks amazing. I'll be back!

From Alice... Every time I walk into Lamara, I'm greeted with genuine warmth and kindness from Dianne and her amazing team. There's a real sense of care here that goes far beyond just great service....it's like visiting a friend's home where they just happen to make the most delicious and nourishing food. Everything I've tried has been absolutely tasty and satisfying, and I love that it’s also good for me. As for the food—where do I even start? I’m in love with the La Brea Burrito, especially with the soft potatoes and creamy avocado tucked inside. It’s pure comfort wrapped in a tortilla. The spring roll salad is fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor, and the superfood smoothie gives me a boost of energy that lasts throughout the day. Thank you, Lamara, for not just feeding my body but helping me feel better, too. From Lisa... I honestly can’t say enough good things about Lamara. I’m just so grateful that a place like this exists. It's not just food....it truly feels like medicine made with love. The thoughtfulness and intention behind every dish are felt from the very first bite. One of the biggest blessings has been the change I’ve seen in my mother’s health. I decided to switch up her morning routine and started getting her breakfast from Lamara. Ever since then, her blood pressure has stabilized—and that alone is a miracle to me. I also mentioned that her hands were always cold Dianne recommended the Matcha Latte. She started drinking it regularly, and to my surprise, her hands are now warm again! It’s made a noticeable difference. The fact that something so healthy can also taste so good is a testament to Dianne’s vision and heart. It’s clear that this isn’t just a business—it’s a passion and a purpose, and it shows in every interaction, every recommendation, and every meal. Thank you for creating a space that nourishes both body and soul. I'm not big on taking photos of my food but my go to's for myself are the spring roll bowl, labrea burrito, tumeric tonic latte and the cardamon vanilla latte....they also have great wine options!

Smoothies and coffee so yummy! I love their mini fridge that has ready to go menu items 😋 This is a great spot to get a quick bite and enjoy the aestically pleasing decor, they compost their food scraps and love the environmentally friendly staff 😇

in the balancing act of healthy food and flavor Lamara is still a work in progress. They need to commit to a full time kitchen and ditch the self serve refrigerator. This will get customers served faster, and remove the need for those beeping discs that disturb the dining experience. This is a vegetarian forward eatery with the standard coffee bar selection. The flow of utensil area, food ready area, and dish return area was not very efficient.

Lamara is a cute, sunlit spot that's perfect for tea or coffee! Really loved their breakfast tea! The space has a calm, inviting vibe. Food-wise, everything was fresh and tasty, but it did take a while—over 45 minutes for just two items, even with only about five patrons in the café. Also, the avocado add-on for the Sunrise Kingdom was unfortunately missed, which makes attention to detail something to watch for. Overall lovely spot if you're not in a rush and are looking for quality ingredients and a cozy atmosphere!

Excellent smoothies, breads and the Lamara burger is absolutely amazing! Healthy food that is delicious. A nice change from similar chain places that are trying to capitalize on the trend toward eating healthier, but using unhealthy ingredients and calling them healthy. Lots of options. The owner and staff were more than willing to work through our food allergies and actually take the time to make sure we were taken care of without making us feel like we were a bother. The owner was also helpful in giving us some other recommendations. Super friendly and warm people and environment!

This is my go-to place for delicious and unique. They have an amazing amount of vegetarian and vegan options that are all delicious. Their courtyard is beautiful when the weather is right. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

Impressed by the breakfast, healthy but still hearty and we are not even vegetarians. Surfers breakfast and burrito were both very good. Don’t skip the hot sauce - it’s a fresh garlic/onion mojo like sauce and added real good flavor and heat. Loved the Mexican mocha latte, esp the leftover peanut, spicy, mocha residue at the bottom. A bit disappointed it was mostly ice at $7. Surprisingly spacious. Nice bathrooms

First time going. Very modern and elegant environment. Service was quick and friendly. Food was amazing. Tried the Spring Roll Bowl, every bite was fresh and delicious. Ordered their Mexican Macha, tasted like Chilate, which is a Mexican drink so definitely enjoyed it. Order it cold, didn't try it hot but cold is the best. Definitely coming back!

Luckily I searched "vegan" when I was close by because this place did not show up in my searches prior to traveling. First day: 5/5 got the breakfast burrito on corn tortillas to make it gluten free (GF). They did not have the cassava wrap indicated on the menu, but that was ok. This was super fresh: super fresh pico, guac and the corn tortillas are a large size which is nice. These were delicious! I also picked up a vegan lemon cheesecake and the PB protein crunch from the grab and good case. If you've had cashew based cheesecake before, this one is delicious. The crust has little almond nubblies in it that were great for texture. The PB protein has good flavor but is definitely on the dry side. You'll need a beverage. second day: 3/5 I got a bagel breakfast sandwich and subbed a GF bagel. This was underwhelming. Egg was very hard cooked (like brown). Added vegan cheese which was nice. Arugula was fresh. It just didn't really come together as a sandwich. I thought it was supposed to have pesto on it? It had a red spread... sundried tomato pesto - not very flavorful. The menu is a bit inconsistent so I was expecting basil pesto based on the ordering page. The sandwich just didn't meld together and needed a bit of salt (I couldn't find packets) and more spread/flavor. It was just "ok". All in all though if you need vegan and gluten free choices, you will want to come here. It's worth the trip for some sweet treats and coffee.

Great customer service. Cleans and warm environment. Yummy eats. Great tea service and selection

I don't think I've ever given a place so much credit. But I absolutely love this place. Tried the labrea burrito and it was big and filling and delicious. The Mexican mocha was so good I was wishing I could eat the cup like I was in Willy wonka land. Quality healthy options. Happy this exists here as its true place is a Cali Colorado health vibe to me. Also had the gelato which was superb. It was vanilla lemon and let me tell you it was perfect to end my breakfast haha.

I came to Lamara one morning while waiting for an appointment nearby and I loved it. It's bright inside, there's ample amount of seating, the food was so good and I loved their cold brew coffee. The service was super nice, top notch! There were people eating, working, reading-- all the different vibes, but it worked! Their wifi was reliable for the hour I was there too. It's so nice to see a healthy place in the city!! I'd recommend Lamara and plan to come back!

My favorite cafe in New Orleans! They are the only place i can find (in any of the states i've been to) that have a good coffee alternative! Golden State Late! It's a mushroom based alternative to coffee! I have been looking for something like this and this is the only place i can find it!!! It's my favorite drink

I love coming here to study and enjoying a little bit of laid back Californian vibes. The smoothies are what really stand out. I got the Mexican mocha which came in this cute mug. I also got the Brain Buzz which had a nutty coffee taste. loved the cocoa bits.

Impressed by the breakfast, healthy but still hearty and we are not even vegetarians. Surfers breakfast and burrito were both very good. Don't skip the hot sauce - it's a fresh garlic/onion mojo like sauce and added real good flavor and heat. Loved the Mexican mocha latte, esp the leftover peanut, spicy, mocha residue at the bottom.

This place is so militant about creating the least amount of environmental impact when it comes to waste. Which upon coming here the first time - is fine. I get it. Catering to vegan and vegetarian focus, also fine. I used to be one. Small portions but the food was decent. But the owner of this place is so rude - the same petite brunette with black glasses that everyone else on here is talking about (glad to see I'm not the only one who felt this way) sits in the corner of the restaurant and monitors a camera in the back of the building to micromanage the parking. We parked a model 3 sedan along the fence that wasn't signed for no parking, not blocking a driveway. We even checked after we had parked as we're conscientious people. She interrupted our meal to come tell us (individually) to move our car because we were too close to the driveway behind us and they would have "a difficult time taking a left into their parking lot" that had an opening probably at least 20' wide. She wanted us to move the car to the front of the building, that would actually fully block a driveway or violate city parking restrictions! I wound up having to park blocks away and walking back to my meal that had been sitting on the table because of her. Heres a news flash. Maybe if you're worried about waste and environmental impact you shouldn't leave your garbage piled up in the middle of the street as we could have parked there instead. Pretentious. I could deal with it in the eatery, but when you sit there and micromanage parking outside your establishment around the piles of trash you having laying in the street, you need to get over yourself hypocrite.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Lamara. Service was super fast and the employees had no problem guiding my party and I through the menu and giving their own food suggestions. My go to has definitely become the BLAT sandwich, it is oh so tasty and flavorful, my food literally lasted 10 seconds on my plate. I did sample the Lamara Burger and it is definitely tasty, but the texture isn't my favorite it's a bit squishy, which is definitely understandable considering the ingredients. I also am a dessert person so it was a must that I tried their chocolate bars, which are super rich. My favorite was the chocolate hazelnut, the others had more of a coconut flavor which I personally didn't care for compared to the hazelnut. Moral of the story, I'll be back for the breakfast menu!

Lamara has become one of our go-to spots for an afternoon coffee or smoothie. Service has always been friendly, and we respect the enviro-conscious behaviors that they engage in.

This place bills itself as "plant-based", which means mostly vegan with a few instances of eggs and such. It's unusual in New Orleans. The menu is brunch-y, and the beverage list long. Most of them are made with Oatly, which is just fine by me. My chai was not large, but did have a nice round flavor. The burrito I got was vegan and came with a tomatillo sauce. It was fresh and tasty, but again not large. And while you're not winning on portion size for price, I think the real point here is to sit and stay a while, as they have a large indoor space and a lovely outdoor one; it was not the nicest day when I visited but more days than not in NOLA it'll be viable. Four stars for the food, and a fifth for atmosphere.

I have been wanting to come to Lamara Coffee & Kitchen because it's a gorgeous building. The food in the photos looks amazing so I think we ordered the wrong items! My friend's spring roll salad looked delicious, but our 2 sandwiches were just OK--- the potato wedges were a little dry and may have been better with a dipping sauce but we didn't want to ask as the vibe isn't too friendly (alert: don't expect any Southern charm or hospitality, even though you are essentially in the heart of the city....). Don't go with kids or dogs :) Not sure I would go back for food as there are so many delicious options in New Orleans these days.... or if I went back I would just grab a coffee (maybe....).

To start, their latte art is always done to perfection!! From the curbside appeal to the interior aesthetics to the coffee & food, this place will continue to amaze you. Groovy vibes for a morning coffee date or brunch + a place conducive to studying. The staffing is top-tier- cheery, attentive, and quick on their feet. They even offer CBD to be added to your drink [how innovative]! Even more, their vegan treats are a guilty pleasure- they never miss. The only thing that makes me wince is the pricing- just know it's not your cheapest coffee shop, but it's also no low-grade establishment. I'd say it's worth your time to go at least once for their work is delicious; just not the best if you're one to watch your spending.

The food and drinks are soo good here...and the service and acoustics could be improved. The wait was extremely long for both food and drinks. We were here for nearly an hour before we were both served even though we ordered at the same time. More kitchen staff please!

Lamara is my current favorite breakfast spot. Very accommodating to vegetarians and vegans, there is something on the menu for everyone. We usually get the La Brea (the egg version) on corn tacos and the West Coast Toast. So delicious and fresh! Just a heads up though, breakfast stops at 11:30 am, so don't sleep in too late!

Stopped in here for breakfast as my friend was raving about it and it didn't disappoint! Everything is vegan/vegetarian and they have gluten free substitutions. We got the Breakfast Burrito and the West Coast toast with an Egg. The breakfast burrito was one of the best I've had in a very long time. It's not your standard eggs/potatoes kind of burrito. It has a potato poblano hash, but it also purple cabbage and some greens (maybe spinach or collards?) that add such a good texture and freshness to it. You can also get their homemade hot sauce on the side (which is so good and spicy) but you don't really need it as the hash has a good spice already. We also got it on a gluten free coconut wrap which was amazing! They figured out how to make the wrap perfect and crispy toasted. Next time we're back to Nola, would absolutely come back to try some of their other food!

I really loved the breakfast at this cute little place in NOLA. There was lots of street parking in the area and a very busy place called Tastee on the corner down the block where I parked. The inside of the restaurant was so clean. Everything was white and open, and if you're a big fan of sunlight, there are windows that let in tons of light. Green plants grew in every corner, adding to the healthy aura of the place. They had organic and natural products for sale in addition to the healthy menu. I cannot eat gluten and was so happy they had a grain-free waffle made with almond flour, which is what I cook and bake with at home. This was the menu description: GRAIN FREE WAFFLE (contains egg) Almond flour | toasted pecans | | Vermont maple syrup | fresh fruit I also ordered a side of the pastured scrambled eggs. At this restaurant, you order at the cash, and the girl taking my order was very friendly and helpful. The food was so good and very fresh. I also didn't have to wait very long for it to come out of the kitchen. I'm not a huge fruit person and usually just eat my waffles with syrup, but I made myself eat the fruit this time, and it was very good. Incredible syrup, and the eggs were delicious, very fluffy. The coffee was very good also. It's very nice to be able to eat a breakfast you feel so good about. Lamara proves that healthy can be perfectly delicious. The only criticism I can offer is that they need cushions in the chairs, which were a tad uncomfortable. Otherwise, I will certainly return to this bright and airy space that offers a waffle I don't feel guilty about eating afterward. There was the added bonus that, as I walked back to my car, there was a gang of Elvises riding mini-bikes going down the street. Always something interesting to see in the Big Easy!

Super, super, super cute spot! I hadn't been to Lamara before but had heard through the grapevines this was one place worth exploring. Woah was everyone right. Lamara is situated off of Broad Street so there is neighborhood parking on one of the side streets. What I loved was the openness the coffee shop has and it's so airy and bright with all the natural light coming in. If you look to the left you'll notice an iconic Luna Botanical moss wall, which is so soothing and calming tbh. There is a fun mural in-between the bathrooms that is a perfect photo-op and you can still snag a few photos in their outdoor space. Their food menu is very vegan and vegetarian friendly! #WomanOwned

Great coffee shop for a meeting or place to work remotely and enjoy a good cup of coffee & food. I really like that they use China. The open space is great and the natural is a huge plus.

I'm so glad we found this little gem in the Treme neighborhood. It's a cute and trendy breakfast/coffee shop with some healthy options which feels hard to find in New Orleans so I was thankful. The coffee cake was yummy while we waited for our meals. One of the best açaí bowls I've had...everything was so fresh!! My partner really enjoyed the Sunrise Kingdom too. I'd definitely be a regular here if lived in New Orleans

Rude af ~ the owner ( lady with the pretentious black frame glasses) just scowls and I politely asked for the Wi-Fi password and she cuts me off and rudely points to the sign ..she could have just told me. Please take the attitude and let somewhere else please & thank you.

Second time here and was disappointed. On my first visit I got the Mexican Mocha, which was flavorful and complex, if a little small. I also got a breakfast burrito- also small and slightly bland. Today my Mocha was also bland, and seemed tiny for the pricetag. I got a baked good that was not remarkable as well. The inside is sterile and has an overpriced spa aesthetic. I couldn't imagine posting up here and getting any good work done. This area of town needs a cozy and more affordable option...this is definitely not it.

Very welcoming staff and tasty food. Amounts and prices are... definitely targeting wealthy hipster crowd.

The burger and BLAT sandwich were pretty good, and the employees were friendly. Their online ordering system was good. I was just a little disappointed that only one sandwich came with a side, which was a handful of chips.

Oh my! Such an amazing restaurant and it's plant based. First we got the Mexican Mocha, which is "organic cacao, organic cane sugar, cinnamon, crushed peanuts, cayenne, double shot of espresso and plant mylk." This is amazing. It felt like Christmas morning. Then I got the "West Coast Toast." This is "lemon - cumin avocado, pickled onion, cucumber slices, cashew chipotle Crema, hemp seeds on Breads on Oak seeded multi-grain toast." I added a locally sourced egg and I was in heaven

Giving it a one star because the experience was horrible. Ordering here is difficult since there is a small team in the back. First time coming here was excited to try it out. But i tried ordering a lunch menu item at 11:30, but they don't start making it until 11:45 so I waited and then was told they are on lunch so I have to wait another 30 to order lunch items. I tried ordering something else but they weren't making wraps because it's Friday they apparently don't make wraps on Friday's. So I just got a matcha which was good, but really disappointing experience. The waitress was really nice though, it wasn't her fault. Just be aware it's not easy ordering during the beginning of lunch time and the owner is was kinda rude about it. Also if you ask for take out cup they charge extra.

Great options for our girls trip during Essencefest. We eat very healthy such as vegan, GF and vegetarian. Cashier was friendly. This place gives SoCal vibes. You do have to bus your own tables, theres no server. Establishment is clean and well kept. The GF Lemon Bar was great! Smoothies are good, vegan burgers are tastee, everything was good to our bellies. Definitely will visit again when in town. The folks that were in the establishment definitely dont match those in the neighborhood that it is in....so just be aware of that folks. Prices were a bit higher than expected but that wasn't an issue for us.

This is such an amazing and welcomed addition to the neighborhood. It has a huge plant-based menu, one unlike anything I've seen offered in the city before - hopefully their success will inspire other vegan-chefs to develop healthy, plant-focused menus for their own restaurants. The location offers plenty of easy, accessible street parking. The beverage menu is loaded with yummy options. I especially enjoyed the dragonfruit lemonade. There's a bunch of great hemp cbd-infused drink options in the grab-and-go fridge. I really enjoy the Vybes selection. The food menu is broken out by breakfast and lunch, both with yummy vegan options. For breakfast, I've had the burrito which was delicious and a perfect size. For lunch, I've had the burger which was pretty large and very yummy. The inside is really bright, airy, and clean. A nice, chill atmosphere in case you want to stay and work over a cup of coffee. I highly recommend this place to any local/visiting vegans looking for healthier options.

Very very kind owner went out of her way to make the lively back space available for our book study. Beautiful fresh place, warm staff, great selection of drinks and things! Grateful!!

The burrito was good and drink was less good. Very cute aesthetic. I enjoyed the zero waste concept It's cute but it's pretty pricey tbh. Seems out of place for the area and the patrons and staff don't really reflect the people that live in the area which made me a little weary when we first came in.

This pains me because I'm celiac and wanted it to be good. Unfortunately, the food was not, and the service was worse. We were kicked out 10 mins prior to close in a very rude way. It looked cute inside.

This place has good vibes and a good environment. There are places to work inside and an outdoor area in the back. Although I did enjoy the iced matcha latte I got, it felt a bit pricey to me. They had a large menu of smoothies that I am interested in trying out later. I appreciate the sustainability aspect of their store.

I checked out this new coffee shop for the first time a few days ago. It has such a modern vibe with a big open space. I ordered the matcha latte with almond milk and it was FANTASTIC. I'm always cautious to order matcha from places because it is typically made cloyingly sweet, which I don't like. But this one was perfect and nice and earthy Lamara also has a great looking food menu. I didn't order something but will next time! Downside: unimpressive latte art

This wrap is so amazing. Totally worth it. The ABC wrap is packed with carrots, mushrooms, greens, tofu.

Customer service the first time I called was outstanding I love good service! I ordered the veggie burger oh my goodness he told me it would be grilled so it would take a few minutes I got there soon as it was finished and grabbed a lemonade match it was delicious literally if I could go back to back and just eat here I would!! The burger had that grilled taste to it the cheese was melted all over the burger this is definitely the place for me

Love to stop in for a healthy meal. They have lots of healthy veggie options and I've never been disappointed. The interior is so refreshing. Pretty plants cozy up the otherwise minimalist interior. Bonus: dog friendly backyard. The food is beautifully plated and portions are perfect. Lamara bowl and veggie burger with kale salad are my go tos depending on time of day. After I always feel good and full but not stuffed. They offer smoothies with lots of protein but I haven't tried yet bc I'm not a smoothie for a meal kinda girl. I recommend the matcha tea but I hear the coffee is also really good. Extra high marks for their goal of reducing plastic waste. "You have two homes: earth and your body. Take care of them." Thanks Lamara from helping New Orleanians do both!

With so few vegan options in New Orleans beggars cannot be choosy but I would choose their breakfast and coffee any time. Had la brea taco south and a Mexican mocha coffee and it was heavenly. Not the cheapest and a little wait but well worth it. Thinking of going back soon.

Very obsessed with Lamara. I almost don't want to tell people about it! I don't often hang out at coffee shops/cafes but I wanted to treat myself to breakfast the other day while running errands in Mid-City. I hit the jackpot with Lamara! First off, this place has VIBES. It is large, open, bright, and clean. Seating is plentiful. Tables are not on top of each other. Seating varies from high top chairs at a bar facing a beautiful moss art piece, small 2 person tables (with chairs or old church pews as seating), and a long family style table in the middle which I thought was a charming touch. There is ALSO an outdoor patio in the back where dogs are apparently welcome. The music was soft and the server is nice. There are outlets a-plenty, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are clean and even have fancy hand soap. The food is exactly what I look for when I cook for myself - clean, no added sugars, whole foods, etc. There are vegan/veg/GF options if that's what you need! They have a full coffee menu as well as a smoothie menu featuring an acai bowl. I went 2 days in a row and have tried: Acai protein bowl ($13), breakfast pumpkin-oat waffle ($10), and a cafe au lait (oat milk, $3.50). Everything has been fantastic; the food is high-quality and beautifully presented. I feel that the portions were exactly right. They may appear on the smaller side (based on our usual crazy large NOLA portions) but due to the quality ingredients, you feel satiated. Prices are definitely in the right spot, in my opinion. Another awesome thing is that they are low-waste. Food and drink are served on/in beautiful ceramic pieces. Utensils are re-usable and cloth napkins replace paper. Water glasses/cups are available instead of plastic. I believe I saw paper straws as well. They also have a loyalty program in which you earn a "bean" for each item purchased, plus an extra bean if you sign up for the mailing list. With 7 beans, you get a free drink or smoothie! It's safe to say I'm very much on my way to a free drink. :) Everything at Lamara seems to have been curated with a lot of thought and attention to detail, from the design to the food to the cutlery. I have LOVED my experiences here and I will definitely be back soon to try out the lunch items.

Love! We had been waiting for Lamara to open and eagerly watched the process (old house raised, renovated, and area landscaped). What resulted is a truly lovely space - with both indoor and outdoor seating options - continuing the progressive brightening up of Broad Street. We were able to meet one of the owners today, who is clearly invested in this neighborhood and promoting a healthy lifestyle in addition to environmentally-friendly business. They were kind and accommodating of the dog and baby by opening the backyard space up. It was nice now, so I can only imaging how great it'll be once the trees/plants they have put in back there grow. I also really appreciate that they offered water to the doggo. Tried: silver lake sliders (very tasty, cashew creme on point), acai bowl from the smoothie menu (EAT THIS), and lattes (not the best ever, but a solid offering). OK, back to the acai bowl for a hot sec... This was one of the top three acai bowls I've ever had. Honestly, I'd given up on eating these after having so many disappointing offerings (which has been a lot after living in Hawaii and Southern California). Thankfully the hubs had not lost hope and ordered one today. Oh I can't wait to eat this again. It was really incredible. Tip: they are cash free. Personally, I love this and haven't carried cash for quite some time.

New cute spot on Broad St. It's mellow. I wanted a light breakfast so the almond butter & banana toast with honey drizzle and walnut crumble was good. I had the seasonal tea (ginger + plum w/ honey water). I thought it was the perfect breakfast before hitting the gym. It's a nice airy space. A lot of natural light from windows. It's a cool spot.

Great coffee, delicious food, ample vegan options, and dogs are allowed on the patio!

This place has got the cafe trifecta: coffee, food, atmosphere. I got a cappuccino with oat milk, great flavor and texture with nuttiness from the oat milk. They source their roasts from Rubys and Hey Cafe. For food, I ordered a SPRING ROLL BOWL which was a fresh mix of spring roll fixins with a beautiful peanut sauce on top. Good proportions for the price. They offer a decent variety of breakfast and lunch; vegan-friendly. Finally, the atmosphere is light and airy with a lot of indoor and outdoor seating space. Music is not intrusive. WiFi is excellent and free. Outlets for charging are plentiful can be found throughout the walls. Downside is parking around the shop is slightly difficult to find. I'll be returning.

What a beautiful and delicious place! The barista was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our visit and will be back often. I'm also grateful that they are open early so I can swing by after school drop off. Parking is on the side and limited up front--many streets are one way around the shop-just FYI. They have a lovely patio in the back as well.

This place is perfect for those who wants a chill vibe for breakfast or lunch. I went here for the second time and it literally a place for me. I ordered an Americano- taste not bitter nor plain. Lamara Burger is one of my favorites- everything is fantastic

CARROT CAKE!! I live outside of the New Orleans area and wanted to support a smaller business especially during this time. It's a very nice & welcoming place with great people! I transitioned to the vegan lifestyle during my birth month. My cravings for a carrot cake were making me contemplate this transition. I posted in a Facebook group and Diane commented. I was hesitant of what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Even my non-vegan family members enjoyed it. Thanks a lot!! It goes to show that even vegans have great cake!! The picture below doesn't do any justice to the greatness of this cake! It was a moist and delightful treat.

When you eat at Lamara you can rest assured that you are getting healthy food made with LOVE! The care and attention to detail is so appreciated. Love Lamara

The food is great but the lady who owns and runs it daily doesn't truly know how to make her employees or customers happy. Every time I've gone out of my way to come here she's turned me around due to "not having enough staff" or "we're too busy we can't make that item". I've came here maybe 8 times over the last two months and have been able to order an açaí bowl three times out of the 8 because she's simply "too busy" and they "take too long to make"... okay so then take it off your menu? Pay your staff more or hire more people? Because we're paying $15 for a smoothie and/or a bowl of fruit and nuts and $15 per sandwich. You're always busy so it's just not making sense. What's really annoying about the whole thing is she knows what I order and there has been so many times where she's just been like "I gOt bAD neWs FOr u HAha" like no that's not cute. Not coming back :) x0x0

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I love it because it's in the neighborhood and their coffee is fairly good. I hate it because the coffee is over priced ($5.75 iced mocha, pre-tip!) and the service isn't very good. Aside from French Truck, which can somewhat justify their high prices due to their locations, I can't think of anywhere that charges more than $3.75-$4.75 for an iced mocha in town. I took my sister here about a month ago for breakfast for the first time. They handed off her order to someone else and as she saw what happened we thought the staff would figure it out eventually. Our number was still on the table so surely, they'll notice something is up. 5, 10, 15 minutes go by with nothing and the barista clearly noticing the number still sitting in the table. Finally we got up and let them know what most likely happened but they denied it and then said they ran out of that particular item and that they were closing early. No apology for their mistake but we did get a refund. I returned recently to bring other friends visiting in town. The service was slow. It took about 30 minutes for the breakfast to be served.
