While strolling in the Marigny, my favorite neighborhood in New Orleans, we came across a tiny little house labeled “coffee.” I was jonesing for an iced latte, so we ducked in to find a place that did not feel like New Orleans at all. It was minimalist, blinding white—save for the namesake Orange Couch—and everyone was silently working.
The latte was awesome (and they’re known for their Vietnamese iced coffee and milkshakes), but the real surprise was the Japanese mochi ice cream they have overnited from Hawaii. It’s a ball of ice cream wrapped in a gummy rice coating, and it is amazing. The texture was chewy, like a gumdrop with an ice cream center. Loved our white chocolate raspberry and chocolate coconut flavors.
Help! Where can I find this in New York??
