Stopped in here after hitting up glowbar. It was super hot so I was looking for sonething cold. Something just told me to stop in here . I ordered the caramel frappe and I will never go to Starbucks again.. the flavor was amazing!!! I wasn't hungry but the pastries look good too. Will be back! read more

All I had was a cookie, it was good but not amazing. Coffee and matcha look amazing I'd be interested to try.

Can't walk past a Matto without thinking Coffee! I was walking up Park and spotted this nice shop. Pistachio Cold Brew. Probably started as Seasonal but I'm so happy it's still here!!! This is the best cold treat, I spotted this location while I was walking on Park. I needed a cold pick-me-up on a hot day. Ordered on the app and two minutes later it was waiting for me inside. Best service ever can't beat Matto any place in New York. read more

Love Matto Espresso! It's where you can get an inexpensive drink or small bite! Recommend you get the app to order, where some items can cost as low as $3! Enjoyed this Murray Hill location now for the first time, but have frequented their other spots and can't wait until a day when I'll live closer to one! This location has ledge and stool seating inside, if you want to briefly park yourself while you enjoy your order. Matto has been expanding featured items with Pistachio and have enjoyed in the past their Pistachio Muffin. To add, Matto was the first places I saw Dubai Chocolate, before it became so ubiquitous that Walmart is trying to get into the act, featuring Lindt's version in their stores. If you're asking yourself "Who knew?" what to offer to drink and/or eat absolutely delicious, quick, and affordable, then my answer is Matto Espresso knew and still knows! So this time, tried Matto's Pistachio Cold Brew with Oat Milk plus a heated, savory Sun Dried Tomato & Mozzarella on a Ciabatta, which has also fresh Basil and Arugula. The friendly barista greeted me and everyone else as they entered! He also served my order quickly. The Pistachio Cold Brew was refreshing, and I'd order both fantastic items again! Equally as good (if not better) than anything at the overhyped Starbucks and a much better value! Matto is awesome! Recommend you check Matto Espresso out! Looking forward to my next trip to one of their locations! read more

This was my go to place in the mornings for coffee and pastries during my stay in mid-town Manhattan. The croissants are buttery and delicious and other baked goods are made fresh every morning. The servers are super friendly and they made sure to accommodate all the special requests. It's a small space but they are pretty quick to turnaround orders and there's never a long wait. Highly recommend! read more

Checked this place out as I was anxious to try something different & new on my way to a food fest. The ambiance was quiet, light music in the background, but the staff were friendly. It was quite small inside but the space was really nice. I got the banana date latte which was pictured at the door. I truly enjoyed it, tasted the dates which I loved. All of the other flavors were also present. I would recommend this but if I'm nearby again I'll check out a few other things on their menu that sounded tasty. read more

I don't know why I only discovered Matto this weekend. Once I discovered it I was spotting locations all over town. What's not to love? I had a delicious pumpkin spice latte. I also got a croissant with egg and avocado for 5.50- that's insane! It is such a quick and delicious breakfast when you need something fast and easy. Now thanks to Yelp I know about the Matto app and the $3 menu. Just a note- there is no space to sit inside- at all. I went to 2 different locations (Murray Hill and Upper East) and it was the same. The upper east location had a table outside but it was too cold. read more

Great alt we native to Starbucks, a bit pricey but not bad. Small location, but still would come again

Excellent latte. Very affordable prices for both food and drinks. A very underrated spot! read more

I will say that I think I ordered the wrong thing (pumpkin spice latte) at this place. My drink essentially tasted worse than my office coffee, it was very watery. The barista seemed stressed while making it so there could've been something else that was wrong but overall it was underwhelming. That being said, I appreciated the cheap price and the customer service. Not sure I'll be back though. read more

I like Matto espresso on 40th street near third avenue. It's been 3rd avenue and Lexington avenue. I stopped here on my way to work and picked up a strawberry lemonade drink. It was delicious I love sweet drinks. I like that this coffee shop and pastry shop is affordable compared to other coffee shops in the city. It feels nice to pick up a drink on my way to work without breaking the bank. The ambiance is calm and they always have interesting music on in the background. The service is quick perfect for a quick coffee stop on the run. 10/10 recommendation I would definitely come back here at Matto espresso for their sweet refreshing strawberry lemonade drink. read more

I think this cafe is very efficient in the fact that they have a $3 menu which is offered in their app. My coworker told me about it and i ordered a chai tea and a muffin. was this the most delicious muffin and chai tea i've had...no. but for $3 in a rush i can't complain read more

I dislike knowing that this place exists. It's a real problem for my "hot girl summer" vibe. I recently tried their truffle brownie and oh.. my.. goodness. Instant addiction. Soft, dense and light all in one bite. It looks like cardboard but trust me and just give them your money. I will be back! read more

A pleasant surprise I stumbled on near my hotel. I was reeled in by the sign stating they had impossible sandwiches available but unfortunately when I asked they stated they were out. A little disappointing but they had such cute pastries and other options. I opted for the ice banana latte which was more of a smoothie texture but so flavorful and smooth with that espresso boost I needed and the almond croissant which was tasty! It's a cute little shop that makes some great drinks! read more

Very good iced coffee. The man who waited on me was very kind. I will be back for sure!

Matto espresso was right next to my hotel while staying in New York and very glad it was! I had delicious coffee and great conversation with the baristas. The place is quaint and quiet, and they have a good selection of breakfast goods and different types of coffee. read more

Disclaimer: did not order coffee here The potato bureka and omelette croissant sandwich, for only $2.50 + tax each, were well worth the price. I enjoyed them heated--because that is the only way you should--and they were flavorful, with good ratio of breading to filling. I don't know how long Matto can stay in business for, but you better try it out while they still are. read more

I was looking forward to the banana date latte and finally got to try this week. Banana date latte - tasted banana, date, espresso notes in the drink but did not cohesively taste altogether. It seemed like this was mixed with just water. Tasted bland and no rich flavors coming from milk Cinnamon scone - dry and hard on the outside and extremely little bit of a fluff. Can def taste the strong cinnamon flavors Service was not great. Cashier seemed like she was not in the mood to be working, which I totally understand. Fast service and no waits. Even though everything is $2.5 my total charge came out close to $8. Small space and nothing note worthy for the ambiance. I would rate this 2.5/5 for the taste but gave 3 stars for the affordability. read more

So glad that I discovered another coffee franchise in NYC that has good coffee, but what's even better is that their prices are relatively reasonable compared to most other places here. Liked my cold brew and need to try something else next time! read more

Very pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the items. I had the everything cheese croissant which was a combination of sweet and savory and the oat mocha, creamy, decadent and delicious. I have and will continue to recommend Matto to friends and associates. Fast and efficient service. Relaxing ambiance inside with some seating available. It helps to also have the app where you can top up and pre pay. Each item is $2.50 (including the coffee) read more

Matto Espresso is such a lovely little cafe across from work. I was mind blown by how everything only cost $2 each, coffee and pastries alike. I was so surprised that my total bill came out to be less than $6 lol. I ordered a cafe latte and an almond croissant for breakfast. The latte was made to order, tasted great, but is smaller in size. I really liked the almond croissant after it was heated up. The entire pastry was sweet, flaky, and buttery with delicious sweet fillings on the inside. Overall, I was impressed with Matto Espresso! Definitely one of the top spots to grab cheap but quality coffee and breakfast in Midtown East. read more

$2 lattes and pastries in NYC is the ultimate steal. Is it the best tasting coffee ever? No Is it worth $2? Definitely yes! I got an iced vanilla latte and a coffee cake. Both were pretty good, especially for the price. Great place to go when you're in need of caffeine and fuel and you don't want to pay exorbitant NYC cafe prices (which are $7-8+ for a coffee) read more

I love this place. Everyone is so friendly and their prices are obviously reasonable. Don't skip the organic juice section in the back...some of the best juices I've had and you can't beat the price. read more

Review #700! My biggest gripe about this place is not knowing they had other locations spread around Manhattan! This is my first experience with Matto, having just recently opened up shop on 40th between Lex & Park. We were drawn in by the "EVERYTHING IS $2" chalkboard so figured we'd venture in to explore what they could possibly be offering. Famous Amos-sized cookies? Bite-sized avocado toast sandwiches? Three ounces of your favorite coffee? Not at all! Matto serves up a selection of sandwiches, ranging from (our favorite) the veggie burger, to egg salad, to smoked salmon, and more. The sandwiches are generous and "thick," but half-size - they make for a perfect snack or small lunch if you're not starving for a full on deli hero. For drinks, they offer any sized hot or iced coffee, along with espresso-based concoctions like cappuccinos and lattes, all for...yup, $2. In fact, looking up and down the line, there's really nothing I could find that doesn't seem "worth" more than the price tag here. Everything we've had has been good and doesn't feel at all like they cut corners to keep their prices low. Note that aside from a small counter ledge, there's really no place to eat inside, but there's a big expanse of steps across the street, and you're also just a few blocks from Bryant Park. Also, for those interested, this place is not stroller or wheelchair friendly - you have to descend about 3-4 steps once you go inside. read more

Dummy me thinking that the Matto I spotted on West 40th street was the only one in the city, I only learn this when passing another one at 46th street, and then searching on Yelp turned up 13 more of them, are they selling franchise with no money down or something?  Their store has a logo sign that looks just like the zero Tarot card , the FOOL card, was I now being mocked too? Matto is Crazy in Italian I guess that's what the owner was told when he came up with the $2 for everything idea.   And it is crazy when you think stores are paying 20, 30, and 50 thousand a month in midtown so how are you supposed to make any money? Well time to try them, and they got your usual list of espresso coffee and then some I rarely see, a 'Red Eye'  which is espresso mix with  an other coffee  like drip and a Cortado which should be boiled milk and espresso and not foamy.    My mother used to make it perfectly, I don't try to do it myself anymore because my milk would boil over and make a mess on the stove. And then the secret to not getting the milk skim on top 9f your coffee is to blow while your are poring the boiled milk in. They have a decent number of muffins , cakes, cookies that are good for $2 and so was the coffee I had , but I do Starbucks Venti these days so I had to get another coffee after I got to the office because the coffee cups are small. I must say I was impressed with Matto and $2 doesn't mean you get cheap and tasteless. read more

I haven't had the coffee here since I no longer drink coffee, but the baked goods are very tasty. I've been here several times and tried their croissants, brownies and chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are my personal favorites. They are big (around the size of a man's hand), soft and gooey. The croissants are also large and flaky. read more

@Matto: you have a fantastic espresso machine in the back. Why not use it ? Decoration only ? The one towards the front doesn't taste good!!! read more

I previously wrote a review for Matto and gave it 2 stars. It's not that their food or service was terrible. To me, they just blend in with all the other coffee shops in NYC without leaving an impression. However, I do want to update my review. I still agree with my review that $2 for all items in the shop is very intriguing but it depends on the item you are purchasing. Drinks for $2 is a steal. A small half sandwich for $2 is not worth it. A small rice crispy treat for $2 is not worth it. And so on. What made me change my mind about Matto is because of two reasons: 1) Despite their small portions, their food and drinks are pretty tasty. I still love their chocolate chip cookie and they run out fast! I've been ordering their ice coffee and like all other coffee shops, it's pretty much average. Except, it's only $2 before tax. I really appreciate that they give a lot of choices for milk and sugar. Rather than giving the usual regular milk, sugar, and sugar syrup, Matto really encourages you to become creative. They have regular milk, skim milk, 2% milk, almond milk (in some locations only), soy milk, sugar, raw cane sugar, honey, agave, and so on. What's not to like about that? 2) Their staff service is amazing. Every time I come inside, the staff greets me with smiles. If I want a recommendation, they will really take into consideration my preferences. Although, not everyone gets my coffee order right. I always ask to fill the cup half way up with coffe so I could fill the rest with milk. They always put in too much and I have to tell them to pour some out. Overall, I think they deserve another star. read more

Bottom line: $2 for every item. This is not a gimmick! And the food is actually good! Today I got the multigrain croissant with egg - they heated it up for me but the egg wasn't completely warm. I didn't mind because I was in a rush but if you want it to hot you may want to ask them to toast it for longer. In the past I've ordered the spinach Bureka (think of a spinach pie essentially) and that was great too. I am not sure how they keep their prices at McDonald's levels but the service is amazing and I hope they never change their business model! Love Matto!! Note: $4 credit card minimum read more

I finally got a chance to come here and I am so happy I experienced this place. This morning I ordered a caramel latte with coconut milk and it was only $2. Can you believe they sell lattes for $2 in Manhattan!!! I could not believe this. When I walked into this establishment I was greeted and immediately helped. I was told they offered several different non-dairy milk choices such as: almond, coconut, oat, and soy. You can get any of these milk choices for no additional cost. Which is wonderful when compared to other coffee/cafe shops. I also ordered a blueberry muffin that had some sort of crumb on top of it. It was delicious and moist but, I was disappointed that they could not heat up the muffin. It was a delicious muffin none the less. I will be back to try other options. This place will be one of my go-to places. read more

When you order, their POS system is only facing the vendor, and as a result when you pay with a debit card or credit card, you can't see the price. I had to ask a few times to get an answer. They also don't issue a paper receipt, only email or phone. Ridiculous! read more

EVERYTHING 2$! That's the great deal at Matto Espresso, Italian coffee bar with multiple locations in Manhattan. I went to their location on 40th street, near Grand Central.
