I also splurged on a chocolate latte once. It's on the menu as a "real chocolate latte" and it was as advertised: very natural chocolate flavor and not sickly sweet.

It's not the quickest because they take a lot of care in making their drinks, but their drinks are definitely worth a little wait.

INDICO COFFEE CO, located on First Ave at the southeast corner of East 59th Street. You can stop here before you do your shopping at Trader Joe's. It's across the street on East 59th St. I HAD ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL and DELICIOUS CHAI LATTE. I ordered the "regular " size, and I requested almond milk. My regular size chai latte was $5.99, plus an additional charge of $.85, for my requested almond milk. I understand that. Things are up in price pretty much all around. It is May 2026. SBUX used to charge extra for almond milk, but now they don't. Maybe eventually that will happen here. But, either way, this chai latte was made fresh, right before everyone's eyes. They have a very large, professional coffee steaming thing machine-see my photos. Fantastic beverage!! Each beverage is made once you order. The huge shiny professional coffee-steamer machine reminds me of Italy, and places that take their time to make you one of the BEST BEVERAGES EVER!! So, my fellow New Yorkers, don't be in a hurry too much when you order your beverage. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!! The woman at the front counter was very kind and it made my visit a pleasure. See my photos of the menus. And interior/exterior shots. After I tasted my Yummy CHAI LATTE, and discovered how great it was, I decided to take a chance and order the fresh pastry "CHEESE POCKET". It is round, and apparently calling my name LOL. I had to try it, Partly for educational purposes, as well as sustenance. I asked about the type of cheese inside, silently wondering if it was sweet or savory, and secretly hoping it would be close to the cheese danishes made in the 1960's. So I am not talking about cream cheese, no sir, I'm talking about the yummy sweet cheese that was more in the farmer and cottage cheese family; that's the closest to a description of what I was hoping for. Baby Boomers who grew up in the NYC area may recall. Well, this FRESH PASTRY was delicious. It was like a combination of the type of cheese I was hoping for, along with a tiny, smooth blend of cream cheese. A well mixed, smooth, yummy light cheese on the bottom inside this fresh, round, light-as-air pastry. It was $5.99. AND I TOTALLY ENJOYED IT!! I really like it here. I love the deep, dark, blue velveteen comfortable sofas, as if you are in someone's home. There are also round tables and blue velveteen chairs at the tables. There is self-serve cold water with slices of lemon in a nice size clear container with an open/close spout. Plastic clear cups and napkins nearby. This is a lovely place. It's spacious, too. Please be patient once you place your order. You are not the only one here. The service is NOT slow, it is service aiming to be the best in making your beverage as delicious as can be. Greatness takes time!! People are working hard to provide the best to you. You can see it . Be patient. Be kind to yourself, and allow yourself the luxury of time, okay? Enjoy!! Cool place, and I look forward to trying some of the other beverages and food, too. I see some creative matcha combinations. This is a lovely place. Treasure it and enjoy it.

Service: Little interaction, no wait. Latte (3/5): The coffee did not have a forward flavor, almost diluted in taste. Chocolate chip croissant (1/5): You can't call this a croissant when it has a bread-like consistency... It was so dry that without my coffee I would've started coughing. I had less than half of it before I threw it out. I asked the staff if they baked it in-house and they confirmed yes. It was 9am so expected this to be fresh so I can't imagine how it'd taste by the afternoon...

This location is the classiest MATTO, into which I have walked thus far. It's such an elegant and spacious place, in which to be. And the high, fanciful ceilings are the cherry on top (literally). They almost remind me of Grand Central Station's ceilings. Wow! Whoever designed this Matto must have had a good time doing so. : ) The food was terrific -- we ordered two egg frittatas (one of them feta), a pistachio muffin and the gluten-free banana bread. Everything tasted fresh, moist and flavorful. And the pistachio muffin and banana bread were sweet without being overly sweet. Yummy! I would order everything again, in a minute. Last but not least, the service was good. The young man working there was respectful and kind; and he had a long line and was single-handedly managing it, so that was impressive. I wish he had some assistance up there, but maybe hiring the minimum amount of staff is largely how they keep their prices low. I mean, their pricing is really remarkable. All in all, it was a great experience, and I would certainly return. Thanks, as always, Matto!
