Matchaful Cafe - New York

Got the unsweetened matcha latte with almond milk! Lighter taste but knew it would be delicious since I use their brand to make my homemade matcha lattes each morning. Not sure if I would try their seasonal/fancier drinks given they are pretty pricey and I personally don't think you need any sweetener so you can really taste the matcha flavor come through and it doesn't get overpowered. Wish the whole food location I went to had a few more tables nearby to enjoy!

They pulled a fast one and charged me an extra $1 for almond milk when the sign does not specify an extra charge for their regular (not house-made) almond or oat milk. The lady then said that because I didn't specify, she used the more expensive milk. Why would I have to specify when there are no dairy milk options, and the drink comes with almond or oat milk included? They lost a customer just to gain a $1.

I tried their hojicha latte and the seasonal moonlight sesame w/ matcha. The hojicha latte was the safe choice and it was really good the hojicha flavor was rich, and the drink was not too sweet. It's one of the best hojicha latte I've had. The seasonal moonlight drink, however, was pretty disappointing. I don't think the sesame matcha combo worked well here. It was bitter and the flavors did not mix. It was also $10 which was quite pricy

Found this little gem during my trip to NYC! I was pleasantly surprised that they were open on Thanksgiving. I did have to wait a bit more than usual because there was only one person working and lots of online orders. Aside from that everything was great! It's located inside a whole foods and I love the decorations it has! The matcha was delicious and I also tried the matcha and sesame soft serve. The matcha soft serve is amazing! I personally thought the sesame soft was okay, only because i've tried it before and the one I tried was sweeter that this one!

The matcha quality is good, but the latte didn’t have enough powder to taste it much. It mostly tasted like oat milk and sweetener :
