Expensive but creative drinks. These are like lunch prices, but that's NYC for you. I've only tried the seasonal drinks here: - Eusexual: it has a whole assortment of ingredients in it but it's tasty and earthy. I'd get it again if not for the fact that it's $10 - Hojicha hazelnut latte: this has a stronger chocolate note that made this taste good. I generally don't like hojicha lattes (but like it by itself), but the flavors were complimentary. - Red velvet: this had a stronger almond taste than I expected, in the iced version at least. Not my cup of tea. I also tried the matcha brownie and it was more like a healthy brownie. I venture to guess it had ingredients like coconut sugar. Not indulgent at all and not a brownie I would eat again.

Was craving some matcha and was very intrigued by their menu. I enjoy matcha and it was so difficult to choose a drink. I went with the seasonal eusexia X FKA Twiggs drink because it is seasonal and very much piqued my curiosity with its ingredients (4g Hikari Ceremonial Matcha, black and white tahini, amazake, blue spirulina, Madagascar vanilla bean, maple, house made almond milk). I enjoyed it, very earthy and sesame hit your nose first and not very sweet. The store is located inside a store and there is an IV center in the back. It's very clean and aesthetic, saw that they had restrooms too. The seating for MATCHAFUL have a "no laptop" policy. I want to try everything on this menu, will definitely be back to try the frozen matcha next... and the fountain of chai... and houjicha latte.

Note: This review is for takeout only. I wanted to love Matchaful, and while I do believe the quality is ceremonial grade, it's incredibly grassy-tasting (and I drink high quality matcha every day). The nondairy milk is watery, and even with sweetener my two iced matcha lattes were hard to get down. Definitely recommend dairy milk and a full tablespoon of maple syrup to make these bearable. However, from pics online, the space seems cute and they are committed to being a high quality, matcha-first establishment! Delivery service was friendly and quick, too.

The most interesting part about this is the location -- the café shares a storefront with a health/beauty supply store, and in the back liquid IV treatment, and cryotherapy, and an infrared sauna (?!), but it all kind of contributes to an interesting, clean/refined "new-age"-y vibe hahaha. My friend and I both ordered the standard matcha latte. I think they only have non-dairy options for milk, which I suppose was nice because it removed the decision paralysis of if I wanted to pay an extra $0.50 - 1.00 on oat milk lol. The sweetness is also somewhat adjustable (you can choose from a few different sweeteners in different amounts); I got 1/2 tbsp of maple, which I thought was a good level of not-too-sweet-ness. Anyways, I really enjoyed my matcha latte. Sometimes oat milk can leave kind of an oily taste in drinks, but this didn't have that issue at all. The price was actually not bad, especially considering people are out here in NYC paying $10 for mediocre coffees nowadays. The quality of the matcha was fantastic, but the flavour was a little weaker than I would have preferred. I'd definitely come back! They seem to have a handful of other drinks I'd love to try in the future.

I have to admit, it's not my favorite matcha in the world. The best way I can describe its flavor is as more grassy than earthy and it has a bit of a "health-food" feel. This might be as a result of the oat milk they used which wasn't very creamy. However, it did have a strong matcha flavor still which tasted high quality, but was just on the lighter and not as sweet side. So, if health is your jam, this is a great spot for a clean matcha flavor. But if you're looking for a more rich cup, I'd look elsewhere. Still, the atmosphere of the shop was peaceful with a good amount of tables to enjoy your drink at. And the vibes were pristine, mimicking the clean ingredients of the drinks. Also, their menu has a wide variety of unique drink combos and food items that can be fun to try out with friends! The shop also wasn't too busy and the drinks were made pretty quickly, but the service could've been a little more warm. Overall, the dining experience was nice, but there are also probably cafes out there with more aesthetic vibes if that's something you look for. Finally, the price I felt was too high for what you get. More than likely, you're paying for the ingredients which, as I mentioned, seemed very clean. The worker mention to me as well that the vanilla sweetener is fresh made with Madagascar vanilla, so that's also probably part of it. But imo, not the best place for matcha, and also not the worst.

I never knew there were cafés for just matcha; this was my time visiting one. I went here because I heard about the Matchaful collaboration with The Marías, so of course I had to try it out. I got the limited-time drink the 'Coquito Matcha'. Once I got my drink, I sat in the café for about an hour. At first, it was tricky to find the café since it is hidden between a Clean Beauty store. It was empty when I arrived, but got packed as the hour passed. I might visit again if I'm ever in the area, just, maybe next time I'll be sure to have a book or laptop to enjoy the full experience.

coming in, it was a very clean and modern place with plants around. the workers were really sweet and helping recommend the different drinks. i got the oishi berry matcha. it wasn't a sweet drink which i liked and it tasted like it was healthier than the typical chain matcha places. there was kind of a black sesame after taste and the berry was tart. i really liked my drink but i can see how it wouldn't be for everyone. i don't really think it's worth $10 tho but it was nice to try once.

ROUND 2 REDEMPTION so i got a chance to try the new matcha foam (i got almond), let me say, it was actually excellent. since the base was only matcha + water, the matcha flavor came through extremely well and the homemade almond foam was creamy smooth, you could tell it was high quality raw ingredients for it to taste like that. if youre looking for a matcha latte but want it to taste less milky, i think this one is a perfect alternative between an americano / latte with just the right amount of matcha consistency. the matcha creative drink options may be overpowered due to the added ingredients or suitable if youre looking for something different but final verdict: matchaful's original matcha is great. will be a regular from now on every morning before work.

Super clean and aesthetic wellness shop. Came in to get a matcha latte to-go, ordered it online and it was ready in under 5 min! Love the stuff they sell inside the store and they have a couple tables that would be great for a catch up/coffee chat. They specifically have signs that say no laptops allowed though, so not an ideal place to do work. Their menu is expansive and has a variety of creative drinks that I'll definitely want to come back to try soon!

Decided to give this place another go. Tried their vegan matcha and vanilla frozen dessert. It was very good! Very refreshing

Ordered cold foam matcha and rose pedal chia parfait for delivery, impressed by the fast delivery and how natural the food items are. Both the drink and the snack feel fresh and healthy, no added ingredients.

Overall, the lattes are good but very expensive. It's a wellness market, cafe, and spa all in one space. Earth glow - theres a bunch of stuff in it and I'm not sure what the latte tastes like, but while i didn't necessarily taste the matcha, it was tasty and I enjoyed it. Soothing strawberry - I only had a sip but it tasted like strawberry milk. I didn't taste matcha in either drinks I tried, so I can't comment on their matcha quality, though I do wish it was stronger. Both drinks were $9, which is wild, but I would come back to try some other drinks.
