    ISSHIKI MATCHA @ NEW YORK CITY Subway or bus is definitely the easiest way to get here, but you can also Uber or find street parking. My friends and I took the subway, it was only about a 3-minute walk and cost around $3, which made it super convenient. I've been seeing this spot all over TikTok and Instagram, so I was really excited to try it. I ordered their strawberry matcha latte (about $9 for a medium), but honestly, it didn't quite hit. The flavor was pretty underwhelming, it leaned very milky, and I wish the matcha came through a lot stronger. I watched them make it, and it just seemed like there wasn't enough matcha added. The strawberry part was also a bit disappointing. It came from a jar rather than being made fresh in-house, which took away from the overall experience for me. I was expecting something a little more fresh and vibrant, especially with all the hype online. That said, the vibes are really cute. The space is aesthetic, the staff are super friendly, and it's a nice place to hang out. I'd be open to giving it another try, but next time I'd probably ask for a stronger matcha flavor or try a different drink. Overall, this one just felt a little too milky for my taste.

    It was a cold day, we were looking for hot drinks, and we happened to stumble upon this place. We were instantly greeted as we walked in and handed over a menu. I decided to order a hot strawberry matcha. When ordering, the worker advised me that the strawberry matcha didn't taste too well "hot" and she gave me a few other recommendations. I ended up ordering a small hot caramel matcha and it was soooo good. It was creamy, frothy, and wasn't too sweet. It was pretty busy inside so we stood by the bar area to wait for our drinks. The inside is well decorated and had nice music playing.

    Isshiki is best known for their strawberry matcha latte, and I finally came here to try their matcha and recently launched fruit sando (using milk bread from Pairing Cafe) *Strawberry Cream Sando $10 *Strawberry Matcha Cream Sando $11.5 ** You can add $1.5 to swap the original cream for matcha cream on any of their fruit sandos. The matcha version is my favorite, as the earthy flavor is balanced by the sweet and ripe strawberries. The strawberries are evenly layered throughout the entire sando, not just a few pieces you see in the cross section. *Strawberry Matcha Latte $8.5 (M) ** First time trying their bestselling strawberry matcha and WOW I get the hype! The housemade strawberry puree was amazing, with real strawberry bits throughout. The matcha was richer than expected too, which you could tell from its deep green color. *Egg Salad Sando $12.5 Loved that they offer a savory sando option! I just wish it had more filling for the price, as it felt on the smaller side. *White Chocolate Hojicha $9 (M) A warm, cozy drink perfect for a snowy day The hojicha was rich and chocolatey, with a nice foamy texture.

    This was my first time trying Isshiki, and it didn't disappoint! It's quite spacious inside and nicely decorated (I heard they rent this space and it becomes a bar at night). Sadly I didn't get to try a matcha drink since it was later in the day and I wanted to be able to sleep well, so I got a hojicha latte with oat milk (no sweetener). It was sooo good. There's also a decent amount of seating available at tables and at the bar. The baristas were very nice as well, and our drinks didn't take too long to prepare.

    A very convenient place to get matcha if you're near SoHo. There also is seating if you are working or chatting with a friend. I got the strawberry matcha latte. The menu is limited but the matcha itself is very strong which is something I enjoy. The taste of the matcha is more umami and grassy, but still enjoyable. My only suggestion is improving the strawberry syrup because it tasted more like a very concentrated jam, and it didn't complement the matcha as well as I would like. I would go back again because of the higher matcha quality and the stronger matcha taste. I wouldn't say it's my favorite place but compared to the rest of NY, it's more towards the top of my list.

    We came to Isshiki for a snack before lunch, so we only got the egg sando (~$12.50 including tax). The filling of the egg sando was creamy, with chunky cuts of egg, and it was overall flavorful. However, the filling was a little more chilled than I would have liked, the bread tasted a little dry, and the serving size was small for the price. You order in the bar area. If you order food, they will bring it to your seat when it's ready, and if you order a drink they will call it out for you to pick-up. I would be interested in trying the strawberry matcha if I'm ever in the area again. The café felt cozy due to the moss décor, and comfortable seating. There is one bathroom in the back that was spacious and clean.

    the double pistachio matcha was so disappointing -- it was extremely diluted. I couldn't tell if the oat milk was super watery or they added too much water to the matcha, but it was almost undrinkable. I barely tasted the matcha

    Loved the Ube cloud matcha!!! The Ube cloud was creamy and so good!! Not too sweet and is just perfect !!

    Matcha Latte. Large. $7.50 + tax. Way too little matcha flavor. Just not good

    I went to this alright matcha place a couple of months ago. Compared to many of the other matcha spots, they seem to specialize more in matcha drinks mixed with fruits and other things, similar to fruit tea places, which is a bit different. The prices ranged from $6.50 to $7.50 plus tax, depending on whether it was a small, medium, or large for a plain matcha latte, with there being no price difference if you get iced, which is a bit different, at least compared to most other spots. The staff was friendly, and I decided to get a large one as it was only a dollar difference anyway. The milk choices were whole, almond, or oat, and I went with whole, and the drink came out relatively quickly. The texture was fine, lacking any chalkiness, with the powder being properly whisked, but the flavor was lacking as compared to other places; I barely tasted the tea. I don't mind having milk, but this tastes like milk with a hint of matcha in it. Possibly the clue was the color being much lighter, but this is the first spot in a long while that I would compare negatively to my usual least favorite matcha spot, Cha Cha. If it were $5 or something, I might try once more, but at this price point, it's wasted. At least, I got a nice photo by the flowers with it.

    Loved how strong the matcha was and the deep green, but this small cup was so expensive ($9). I also ordered a hazelnut matcha latte, and although the matcha was good, I didn't taste any hazelnut. My friend and I sat at the bar while we had our drinks, and a lot of people seemed to be getting the strawberry one, so that might be the way to go.

    Egg sando
    Maria R.

    I went early during the week there was a few people eating in. The inside was kind of dark and someone was fixing something in the back. I got the egg sando the strawberry matcha sando and the Sakura iced matcha. I really enjoyed the matcha it was pretty smooth and just enough sweetness I would return for the drinks but not the sandwiches. The egg salad was small and didnt have much flavor it could use some salt the strawberry matcha was better it was a little bigger and the cream was good. Theres a few tables to sit at if you arrive early enough. The service wasnt the friendliest and seemed annoyed to be honest.

    Pricey, but tasty matcha. Paid about $9 for a small strawberry latte, but it was the perfect sweetness and the matcha flavor really came through without ever being bitter or feeling gritty. Issika is located inside of a tapas bar, so it's confusing at first, but it's a great dual use of the space. The staff are also friendly and there's a good amount of seating inside to escape the weather.

We only wanted coffee & tea yet after reading about their cookies, we bought 2! First, my English Breakfast tea was outstanding. The brand, serendipiTea. So good I didn't need to add sugar. They gave me the option of adding maple syrup. I added some Oat milk, it was delicious. Then after my 5th sip of tea I had the most delicious peanut butter gluten free cookie. So good! My hubby loved his coffee and chocolate chip cookies, he was speechless. Love this place.

Stop in for an espresso made with care, or grab a dozen of their flavor-packed cookies for the office, which are sure to impress clients and coworkers alike. I've always been a sucker for their gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookie, but today a coworker brought back the Korn Cookie, and I think I've found my new favorite! Crispy on the outside, simple, buttery and perfectly sugary on the inside. It's the kind of cookie that looks unassuming but delivers BIG on flavor. If you're in Midtown, Culture Espresso is absolutely worth the visit. (Barely remembered to snap a photo of my cookies before they were devoured!)
