Honeydeux

Such a great place to stop by for a boba drink or shaved ice especially during summer! I enjoyed boba and shaved ice when I visited this establishment and it was such a great place to go and escape the heat of summer! The shaved ice is so refreshing! While there, I did see quite a few people ordering sandwiches and wraps, so it seems like they serve good meals as well.

I used to come here whenever I was back in town from college. I made a stop here today and they must’ve gotten new owners or new management or something. The staff had no communication skills with their customers or each other. They all seemed really confused with what they were doing, and even forgot one of our drinks. I don’t recommend at all.

This place is a fail. I wanted a nice mango tea. The menu is very vague. No prices and no description. I ordered a mango tea w boba and it was a large sugary slushie for $ 7. If I wanted a smoothie I would have ordered a healthy smoothie. A tea is usually just an iced tea w flavor.
When I asked the young cashier for an itemized receipt he said he couldn’t give me one. I asked to explain how much the teas are because $ 7 is high. He never mentioned it’s a slushie. When I gave feedback that maybe they should put prices and explain the drinks are blended with syrup, literally non f the 4 people acknowledged I was even talking. I was t telling it being rude I was telling the cashier my surprise. It was like I wasn’t there. And the owner was there filling up stuff. They all look like they don’t have a clue and they are horrible with customer service. This is not a place I would recommend just for the stupidity of the staff alone.

I was visiting Nola looking and craving some bubble tea. This was the only bubble tea place I could find. I had high hopes and orders a peach green tea. Maybe bubble tea is different here but when I got my tea and drank it, it looked green like an avocado smoothie. I realized later when I drank it it tasted noting like peach and there was actually milk in it.
I was pretty disappointed that they did not tell me this was a milk tea and that if they make all there green tea’s standard with milk they really need to state and let people know there is milk in it. My stomach was messed up for awhile after drinking this. I wanted to go back and give them a second chance but didn’t have time. I sad part is that I waited quite awhile to even put my order in and waited even longer.

I’ve been to many boba houses all over the country and all over the world. This does not do true boba any justice. Authentic Taiwanese boba is the way to go. The drinks were okay. We ordered 6, some weren’t that great. The cleanliness wasn’t the best. From a far it looks decent. However, as I was observing I noticed a lot of downsides. I didn’t like it, compared to all of the other places that I’ve been to.

I ordered the breakfast wrap and a green tea bubble tea with popping bubbles. The green tea was delicious, I don’t think I would ever want to order anything else!

I don’t usually go to Honeydeaux, but when I do… :D the bubble teas are amazing & the wraps are fresh & delicious.

Like the milk tea but I had a spill because of bad packaging.
Clean place, nice owner.

I was not here when the previous owners were here.
Milk tea was good and the boba was better than I expected. However some of the boba was stick together and thus was unaccessible via straw.
They ask you if you want you drink blended or over ice. Blended is like a snowbubble/​blizzard and over ice is classic.
I just got here from California and was pleasantly surprised to come across this place while exploring market street. After one visit I felt pretty satisfied. It may be just because I was so happy to find a boba place here. I will have to come back to try more drinks and add to this.

This was my first visit got a wrap and a smoothie I do have to say it’s one of the best I’ve had in the city. Will be returning every time I get a haircut conveniently located two doors down from stardust Salon

I have mixed feelings about this place. Looking at the other reviews, either I must have gone on a really off day or something drastic has changed. I walked in on a quiet weekday afternoon and they did not leave a very good impression.
The AC was either off or running very sparsely, and place felt humid. I presume it was the owner that rang me up, as she was the only person working and seemed busy/​distracted. She was nice and warned me that their lid sealer was not working right. I ended up sticking my straw through the gap between the lid seal and the cup. As far as my order goes, iced Thai tea is not something you can really mess up but the boba texture felt off and was mushy. Their cups also don’t have that cute green logo anymore.
I guess it’s nice that there is even boba available in uptown but I would be embarrassed bringing any of my Houston/​ATX friends here. I did not try their food so no opinion there, but the drinks fall short of any generic tapioca place. The only thing they really got going for them is location and honestly, I think I will just stick to Lilly’s for my Thai tea from now on. If I’m craving boba, I think I will just make the drive to the west bank…

Having just spent a weekend in NYC scoping out the city’s best bubble tea, I’d have to rate this place ⁴⁄₅. Two stars because I love bubble tea, another star because I was honestly surprised to stumble across a bubble tea place amidst all the creole and cajun delicacies of nola, and a fourth star because you can substitute almond milk for the milk powder.
A lot of the reviews have mentioned how there has been a change in owner, but honestly as a place just to grab bubble tea it’s pretty decent. I did notice they have a board of all sorts of other foods but it doesn’t seem like a place I’d want to eat. The restaurant is set up so you can pretty much see the kitchen and it’s pretty tiny and seemed really cluttered. This place is close to my house so I’ll definitely be back to try more of the bubble tea flavors or the popping boba – I’ve had the taro and the thai tea and they’ve both been great. I highly recommend substituting with almond milk and either doing half or no sweetness to make it a lighter, not as overwhelmingly sweet, afternoon pick me up. The bubbles are cooked/​kept on simple syrup so I personally think they are sweet enough already.

Had a coupon. Stopped in for bubble tea. Yummy and refreshing flavors. If I were local I’d go back to try them all! The staff was helpful and friendly. The atmosphere was clean and airy. Everything hit the spot — exactly what we need on an afternoon of shopping and pedicures :)

Out of all the boba I’ve tried, this one has to be in my top 3! I wasn’t here when the previous owners were there, but this mango boba tea is amazing! She blended the bubble tea with real fruit, and the popping boba is the best thing since sliced bread! Keep in mind I don’t have these pleasures in Slidell, and I’ve never heard of it on my trips to Los Angeles.
Upon entering the place, the owner was really kind and courteous, providing me with recommendations, the whole nine yards. In terms of parking, terrible, but it doesn’t knock any stars off of the place itself. Parking was a nightmare considering the fact that you have to pay to park, and also that the streets were crowded at twelve. I never believed New Orleans could have so many tourists! Looks like I was wrong!
The total cost for my mango bubble tea with popping boba was $ 6.00, but I checked in to Unilocal,which knocked it down about $ 0.57 to $ 5.43 I think.
Anyways, if it weren’t for the difficulties in parking and location, this would be my number one spot in terms of getting good, quality, FRESH bubble tea!

Please do yourself a favor and get the lychee bubble tea and get it with the lychee jellies!!! Yay!

Walking into this establishment the décor is eclectic which is awesome. I just love the little bar stools at the counter. Extremely kid friendly. The guy who made my to die for mango strawberry bubble tea with tapioca and strawberry popping bubbles (you know strangely enough I’ve never had popping bubbles before) is awesome and super friendly. I’d say this place is a winner with some of the most delicious bubble tea and ridiculously warm service. Will definitely be back.
UPDATE: Still craving their bubble tea three days after. Bubble tea was obliterated so fast that I didn’t get to take a picture lol. I NEED MORE IN MY LIFE! Also I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap which was grilled (faaaancee!) and delicious but according to the signs in the shop and host most people get and enjoy the Cesar wrap.

I learned recently that Honeydeux had changed owners. I went to check it out on my latest visit to nola and the place has definitely changed. The new owner doesn’t exactly appear to know what they are doing. They were constantly asking people if they had made something correct, and also openly admitting that they don’t know what the stuff is. That was the owner speaking.
I love my shaved ice, but now the ice is somewhat different in texture, the serving of ice cream on top is slightly smaller, and the amount of syrup that is put into the shaved ice is too much, so that it is too sweet and it’s more like a snoball.
The ambience of the place has also changed. It is no longer that modern, sleek, clean and cool looking shop. It’s turning more into a mom & pops sort of place. I mean the décor is still the same, but things have been moved around, it’s becoming cluttered with seemingly out of place objects that are setup for sale on random shelves and on top of machines. Even the music playing is different.
I just don’t really know how I feel about this place anymore. I mean, the shaved ice still seemed to be somewhat okay. I am just disappointed.

Honeydux has changed hands…
I’ve been back a few times since the new owner took over. Sometimes the shaved ice is excellent and sometimes IT IS TERRIBLE. The woman (who I am assuming is the new owner) makes the saved ice just fine. Here employee does a terrible job, he puts way too much syrup (this is not a sno ball) and very little fruit). Seriously I am not paying $ 6 for a small sized sno ball with a few pieces of fruit and ice cream on top. RAWR
The inside of this place has become a hot mess. There is crap everywhere. The clean modern original design has become messy counters filled with stuff. I do not know what is going on here. First, clean up all the junk all over the counters behind the counter where you eat. It makes the place look sloppy. Next, if you want to display extra things to sell (like nuts) find a tasteful way to do that. FINALLY learn something about the product you’re selling, I get the impression that the owner has no idea what this shaved ice thing is, doesn’t know what to call it or how to talk about it, and it really makes her look incompetent. How can you sell something if you don’t know what it is!
I also think she is trying to find new ways to make more money. However, I think that if she did some research into what is is selling then maybe she could find a way to enhance the Asian theme rather than trying to turn it into a kitschy sandwich shop that also serves this ice thing that has fruit on it. The design is modern, you aren’t going to re-​design the place then stop trying to put cute pigs and pottery bowls around that look better in your home. GO WITH THE THEME. If you don’t know what the theme is, I’ll help. The theme is modern Asian. What kind of music would you play in a modern Asian shaved ice/​bubble tea place?
These are my suggestions:
1. Add more variety of things you can add to the shaved ice (red bean/​coconut jelly/​taro paste) AND come up with some signature combinations
2. Consider adding more Asian snacks that most people would find different, but enjoy. One of my favorites is the Hong Kong style egg waffles
3. Add ice creams that compliment asian desserts (eg., coconut and green tea would be wonderful additions).
4. COFFEE, some really good coffee would be an excellent addition.
5. Fire that boy that makes the terrible shaved ice and hire someone who loves shaved ice.
6. You might not like the music, but consider finding something more contemporary for your radio station because the music doesn’t fit.

Every city I visit — i try and find a bubble tea place. On another trip to NOLA I finally found one, that is close enough walk from the St Charles trolley and is in a cute neighborhood (Garden) with interesting shops and restaurants.
I got the Honeydew bubble tea… which was very refreshing — however the tapioca pearls were hard and chewy.
Nothing too unique about this place’s bubble tea offering — its the standard, run-​of-​the-​mill powdered flavored tea mix, blended or on ice. What’s good about this place overall — is that there are sandwhiches available for order.
Right now i’m rating this place with a 2-​star, based on the quality and execution of the tapioca, and hope/​intend to update on my next visit to NOLA.

I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to the green tea bubble tea. The staff here is always super friendly and satisfy my cravings quickly. Highly recommended!
Updated 2÷16÷2015: While I will still stop in, it’s kind of become hit or miss for me. I find myself just waiting to end up in Metairie and I will fulfill my bubble tea cravings at Frosty’s Café on Cleary.
