    live love laugh matcha
    Elizabeth H.

    Delicious raspberry mint matcha! One of the most unique and delectable matchas I have tried. The ham and cheese croissant was average, not amazing. Cute decor and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

    Delicious espresso and cool lo-fi vibes. Kind and speedy service. Perfect for catching up with a friend, a morning brew, or some reading.

    Marigolds :) they decorate coffee bar with such gorgeous flowers

    My local cafe ! I've never gotten a bad drink from here, from matcha to quad shot lattes they're always consistent ! One of the few places that has such great teas and cozy vibes inside. The service is great they're quick & keep the place spotless every visit I've ever been. If you see the coconut ube cookie, get it.

    Rose Matcha Latte & Caramel Latte

    Food: 3.5/5 *I tried the matcha latte twice and I enjoy it pretty standard matcha not the strongest but it's okay. I do love that they have the rose syrup which add a very sweet floral taste to my matcha. *I haven't tried any of the food items. But I will say I noticed they had croissants and light pastries nothing heavy. Service: 3/5 service is average nothing to rave about. Be try standard. They do greet you and are pleasant. Ambiance: Standard coffee shop vibe very trendy and minimal. Great space for WFH candidates , or people who just want to get out of the house chit chats and catch up with friends or just have a place to go to get away. It's pretty spacious and they do have outdoor seating.

    Arrived on a cozy morning and it was fairly busy. Ordered the iced matcha latte with oat milk, there are a few seats inside with outdoor seating. One of my favorite coffee spots in the neighborhood. Would recommend trying the seasonal drinks!

    Amazing coffee shop in BedStuy. I get the iced matcha latte with almond milk (add 2-3 brown sugar cubes) and I semi-crush the cubes. The matcha is prepared to each order and tastes amazing. Come by and see why it's such a favorite in the neighborhood

    Cute and cozy bare bones coffee shop with a good selection of pastries. The coffee menu is limited. They don't have any specialty lattes or anything like that. I noticed they also had a good selection of fresh teas. They serve Devocion coffee here which is one of my favorites. I got a great iced latte and a real good yogurt blueberry muffin. The service was friendly and efficient. Their prices are standard for a coffee shop. Would definitely come back here again.

    Beautiful new coffee shop in bedstuy . It's so good to just walk down the block and have a nice coffee shop. It's bright and beautiful and modern . It also has loads of plants , you can purchase . They have coffee and matcha and other drinks . They also have pastries vegan and non vegan . I got the chocolate loaf cake which was pretty tasty and matcha which was delicious and strong . I came here just to journal and just chill and relax and I loved the space the energy was very chill . It seems like a nice place for people to work and read and hang with their friends and talk over a nice cup of coffee . Come through y'all !

The burger was fresh, juicy, and not greasy at all just really well made. The tater tots were crispy and delicious without feeling oily, which I really appreciated.

Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd go back to!

And I gotta say, the bartender is doing work. He's the only one working and the whole place is filled up and he manages it very well. They have food and drinks, mocktails included. I love it here. It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender. Also careful with some of the hot drinks they can be really.... hot. I burnt the roof of my tongue on my hot cider drink.

    Got brunch here on a Sunday with a friend. We split the Hot Honey Gem Salad and Hottokeki (Japanese…read moresoufflé pancake). The pancake is gigantic and is absolutely meant to be shared. It was really fluffy and smelled soooo good (reminiscent of the HK street cart waffles). But because it's so big, by the time we ate half of it, we were getting a little tired of the same taste. The salad was good but nothing to rave about. For drinks, we tried the Lebowski-San and Kettl Hojicha Kombucha. It was my first time trying a clarified cocktail and it was really unique. I thought there would be more ice cream honestly but I still loved it. The kombucha though was shockingly tasty. I loved it so much that I bought a bottle online once I got home (they're from Kettl, a local distillery in Brooklyn). The venue is really spacious and I actually planned a wedding here in the past. They host a lot of events and there was even a birthday party happening when I ate there. The only downside is the location. The only train that goes there is the G so it's a bit hard to get to. Food: Hot Honey Gem Salad (radish, buckwheat, fennel, yuzu vinaigrette) 9/10 Hottokeki / Japanese Soufflé Pancake (fluffy hotcake, honey maple butter, sesame) 9/10 Add Mini White Sesame Soft Serve (soy milk, sesame oil) 10/10 - I would recommend just getting this on its own instead of the Hottokeki if you're craving just a little dessert. Drinks: Lebowski-San (green tea shochu, pisco, sakura leaf, clarified matcha ice cream, cold brew coffee floater) 9/10 - This is a clarified cocktail which I didn't expect. I thought I was ordering a matcha ice cream-like drink so although the drink was good, all the ingredients are very subtle in flavor. Kettl x Unified Ferments 'Hojicha' Kombucha (jou yanagi hojicha) 10/10 - This is an absolute must-try!

Last I was here was for brunch and we sat in the outdoor patio area. We got a two things to share and a main each. Shared plates were the soufflé pancake and silken tofu. Both were a miss for me. The pancake had a baking soda aftertaste and also they brought it out right away instead of after we finished our mains so it sat around in the table for a while until we were ready to eat it. Silken tofu had a mediocre flavor palette. There was no variation in texture either, just one plate of mushy items. We didn't finish either one of those. For a main, I ordered a a Wagyu beef bowl. It was really good but on the smaller side. The service was attentive aside from a spillage when the order came. Then they started placing plates on top of the spill instead of wiping the table. Eventually they cleaned it but overall there was lack of training in this case. I am not dying to come back here but would consider if I'm in the area again. I really like the actual space but food/service can improve.

It's not giving community coffee shop, it's giving gtfo as quick as you can. The decor and vibe just felt so off. Giving coffee shop art studio museum but in the worst way possible? Went with a friend and we both immediately felt a bad energy. The person taking our order was just a little stand off ish. We just wanted to get our drinks and get out as quick as possible. We got the blackberry matcha and a latte. You're not going for the matcha, because the matcha flavor isn't really there ~ the blackberry was fine, super sweet though. Had 3 espresso shots in the latte yet it was still somehow so watered down and had an odd aftertaste. Big yikes overall, we could've dealt with the weird pretentious vibes if the coffee was actually good. Only upside is TakuSando is a block away. EDIT: For Bri Can totally understand if people have off days, maybe the baristas were having a bad day, it happens. Either way, the review reflects what we experienced. We had heard great things but unfortunately felt unwelcome from the moment we ordered, whether intentional or not ~ the energy felt cold to us and that changed the experience. & we just didn't love the drinks. You're def right, Rhythm Zero just isn't our cup of tea and that's totally fine. Hope yall continue to do your best and serve the fan base you have :) Love small businesses, don't love a weird Yelp guilt trip (which seems like a pattern for you across all 3 locations...)
