    I took a break from work to try the Matcha Buddy! I liked the matcha but I just don't think I love the nut butter in combination with it. I don't think this is a fair judgement bc it just was not to my taste but each individual component was good. 10$ for a matcha is a little ridiculous though! Interior, staff, and vibes were great :) Not a study spot but fun to hang w a matcha buddy ;)

    Such a fan of Buddy Buddy. Their drinks are so delicious, and their nut butters are seriously worth it.

    Unfortunately for my wallet this place was WORTH it! I was obsessssed with my Fruity Buddy. The raspberry sauce mixed in was so fresh and punchy, and made the perfect "pb and J" flavor. My partner got the Le Buddy and for peanut butter lovers that was just perfect- pure delicious PB flavor. Inside is definitely a cool funky vibe with very few outdoor tables. I would've loved to take some PB with me but I couldn't rationalize paying $20 for a small jar. I'd 100% return for a delicious iced bev!

    I finally got the opportunity to check out this coffee shop, after reading all about it for a while. Buddy Buddy is known for their peanut butter drinks, and they had a pretty extensive menu of coffee and non-coffee drinks to choose from. I went with the iced dream buddy, which was delicious. I also got a peanut butter toast, which was huge and definitely shareable. The service was friendly and I didn't have to wait long for my order to be ready. The space itself is pretty industrial and they have lots of seating, both in the front as well as some seating in the back. They also have a very large and clean restroom, which is an added bonus. I will definitely come back here again!

    Buddy Buddy is such a fun spot, and the drinks definitely live up to the hype! I ordered their signature Le Buddy, but since I'm not a big peanut butter fan, I swapped it for almond butter. Best decision ever because it was a 10/10! The drink was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Even with the substitution, it was incredibly flavorful and something I'd order again in a heartbeat.

    I discovered this specialty coffee shop because they had a fun event and I am impressed. Beautiful decor, wonderful delicious drinks, relaxing music, friendly staff. Loved it. Very uplifting. Will be back.

    Visited in the morning and the place was packed! Was able to get a seat in the laptop section in the back, but people were chatting very loudly so would not recommend planning on doing any serious work there. Their signature drink was pretty good since I love peanut butter. Interested in trying others in the future.

    The interior is well decorated and very spacious. I got the fruity buddy but I don't think I like peanut butter that much. If you do like peanut butter, you might love this.

    Buddy Buddy in Bowery is a new nut butter based coffee shop serving coffees, smoothies and cookies crafted with their fresh nut butters. We saw this first on TikTok and as peanut butter lovers, felt compelled to try it. We had the Le Buddy (peanut butter latte) and the Fruity Buddy (peanut butter and raspberry jam) along with an Athletic Bud smoothie which was essentially the ultimate peanut butter banana smoothie. We want to try some of their other nut butters for our next visit, but a minimum we can confirm Buddy Buddy knows a thing about peanut butter

    I came here during the soft opening and was so intrigued by the idea of having peanut butter in matcha. There was a decent amount of seats and this vibey spot also sold coffee beans and different butters. I tried the matcha latte with peanut butter and it was so creamy, rich, and delicious. It was on the pricy side, but definitely enjoyed ordering it and trying something new :)

    went to the mutha plucker pop-up and tried their vanilla hazelnut butter latte with less vanilla syrup and it was great! great place to chat up with a friend or work on your laptop and the staff were friendly

    A cute spot to chill and hang out for a bit as it's a pretty open concept with a bunch of seating. Service was pretty friendly and they made the drinks pretty quickly. I got the PB&J latte and it was a pretty big size given that my total was $9. I wish it had two espresso shots, but this one comes with one as a standard. The drink mostly tastes like raspberry syrup with a hint of peanut butter in a watered down latte. I would come back to try other drinks, but most likely wouldn't get this one again.

    Best peanut butter latte I've ever had. I already want to go back ASAP. This was one of the most unique and delicious lattes I've tried, and I can see why it's their number one best seller. The cafe is very spacious, and even though there are plenty of seats, many were already taken by remote workers and students. The bathroom is single-use but very clean and roomy. I also love the overall theme and vibe of the cafe. Definitely a trendy spot that's worth checking out.

    Stopped by Ten Thousand and tried the Green Tangerine Matcha Ade. As someone who doesn't drink…read morecoffee; however, loves tea, this immediately caught my attention. I really enjoyed it! The matcha flavor came through nicely, while the green tangerine added a bright, citrusy flavor that made the drink incredibly refreshing. It was lightly sweet with a little fizz, and the dried citrus garnish was a nice touch. The customer service was also great. I had a few questions about the drinks, and they were enthusiastically answered, which I really appreciated. I'm always happy when a coffee shop has interesting options for us non-coffee drinkers, and this one definitely delivered. I'll be back and would absolutely order the Green Tangerine Matcha Ade again.

    Ten Thousand is a Korean chain (three spots in Manhattan now, plus outposts in Taipei and LA) and…read moreeveryone comes for the einspanner. I don't drink coffee. So I went in for the Green Tangerine Matcha Ade, which is the drink they should be talking about more. The green tangerine is the Jeju cheonggyul thing, the unripe fruit picked before it sweetens, so you get a sharper, almost yuzu-adjacent bitterness instead of orange juice sweetness. That's the right call against matcha. Grassy tea, tart citrus, light sugar, actual carbonation that hadn't gone flat by the time I got to the bottom. The matcha stayed suspended too, which is harder than it sounds in soda water. Dried citrus wheel on top is a real garnish, not a sad afterthought. Staff were genuinely into it. I asked what grade of matcha they use and how it's built, and got straight answers with zero eye-rolling. Rare at a counter-service spot at 1410 Broadway, where most places are just moving the garment district lunch crowd through. It's eight bucks for a fizzy tea. That's steep, and the room is basically a lobby cafe with very little seating, so this is a grab-and-walk-to-Bryant-Park situation, not a linger. Still, if you're a tea person stuck in a coffee city, this is one of the better cold matcha drinks in Midtown right now. Better balanced than Kijitora's peach fizz, which leans sweet. Order it, skip the seating, don't expect quiet.

    Chill ambiance, great beers, and friendly service!…read more Also, they have outlets at the bar so this tourist was able to charge her phone. Haha

    Yelp Error - I see excess duplicate pictures got uploaded…read more.. Half this trip I saw duplicate pictures, and the other half of my pictures did NOT get uploaded or got uploaded to the wrong site. Then Yelp sent me an email... Quality/Quantity - Now, this is good beer!! Tasted a few of their beers, then settled on my usual Irish Red. Got my Irish Red - Darker than I expected, but with good flavors. And I didn't think this was even on the menu; see my pictures. 20% off food during Happy Hour from 1-5pm. Too bad there are no discounts for the beer, lol. Beer shot combo promotions; see my pictures. Flights available too. Ambiance - Decent size. I like the u-shaped bar. Busy, both with locals and tourists. Guess many day drinkers here, lol. The coffee shop in the mornings was closed when we got here. But I was here for the beer! Two unisex dark restrooms, not sure if it was done on purpose. My camera made it look brighter. Open 7 days a week from noon until 10pm, 11pm, or 1am. Private event space available; see their website. Service - The team did well. Engaging, considering how busy they were. Price - $22 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2016 and with your two locations.
