Le Lotus Bleu Café

The banana bread latte is PHENOMENAL. No notes. It’s not just banana… it truly tastes like banana bread. How’d they do it?! It’s a vibe inside. Love the blue decor. A few places to sit and some cute books. Not too much seating, though. The barista was so nice and let us hang out for a long time as a group. They have very cute souvenirs/ gifts too.

Cutest little Chinoiserie-themed spot! The pandan vanilla latte is unique from your typical vanilla latte in the best way and the matcha was super yummy. There’s tons of great coffee shops in this area but this place has character and is more intimate. And Bella took great care of us!

The UBE MATCHA LATTE goes incredibly hard. Less sweet and more delicious than I thought. The staff was very very friendly. In my experience at other coffee shops, when your barista is good looking and dressed nicely they usually have a generally indifferent attitude - but not here! All well informed, friendly, professional and happy to be at work! Will be back for sure!!

new nook on allen, hybrid of classics inspired by Tintin. serves the classics (and some funky stuff but I haven't tried it.) free resteeps & steamed cream for your tea if you are sit-down which is pleasant. was playing fleetwood mac rumours for my stay.

The atmosphere, the matcha, loved all of it, and one of the only cafes I frequent in LES
