    Guess what it $3 now!! 03/12/24
    Marianne W.

    Matto Espresso is now $3 with the app. This is a great Matto location in my favorite shopping neighborhood. I know I can grab a bite that's inexpensive before I head to shop or browse. Sometimes I get something to take home. Matto Espresso is a chain of coffee and pastry shops that have been popping up on every block. I know what I'm going to get and order through the app on my phone. If you don't use the app each item is a dollar more. I especially like this location for the seating options. More and more the stores don't have the option to sit inside. I'm always recommending Matto. The coffee is good and I always find something tasty to eat.

    Go check out this Midtown East treasure.

    Last Sunday, I went to this MATTO location - to which I'd never been - on my way to church. (Love its proximity to St. Bart's church on Park Avenue. Nice!) It was a modest space, in terms of its size; yet its high ceilings and clean, fresh atmosphere made it seem bigger than it actually was. The young man behind the counter (forgive me, as I did not get his name), was welcoming, polite and efficient. He also made a wonderful matcha latte, with ceremonial grade matcha...and trust me, I've had quite a few matcha lattes in my day, so I'm a bit of a matcha snob. Ha! : ) So, my compliment really means something. Well, he made it with half and half, per my request, and it was deliciously rich. I would definitely return there sometime, namely before or after church; I'm so grateful that I stopped in. Thanks for a lovely way to start my day! : ) My Best, Kat

    A nice warm breakfast with unbeatable cheap prices when you order using their app. They have a drinks menu for $3, which includes iced teas, chai latte, pistachio cold brew, matcha latte and many more. That pricing has to be one of the best deals in NYC! Service was fast, we ordered using the app and the drinks and pastry were ready within minutes. We came in the late morning, so it was not very busy. I would expect that during the morning rush, it might take a bit more time to be served. The omelette is SO good. I actively think about the warm flaky croissant and the soft cream cheese with the slight acidity from the tomato. Goes so well with the jiggly omelette itself! The only thing to be aware of is that this location does not have space to sit inside and eat. They have two tiny tables outside, so this would not fit a big group, or be a location that you can sit inside. But works great if you want to grab a yummy drink and a bite to eat in the city!

    It's raining Matto Espressos in the City. I finally had a coffee and cake here at the 57th Street & Lexington Avenue location. This cafe is tiny with bar stools and a counter. I had a Cortado and a slice of coffee cake. The coffee was fine but the coffee cake was ordinary. All the baked items at all these cafes are made in a commissary in Long Island City. Most coffees and eats are priced at $3.27 to make it affordable for everyone. This is their marketing concept. Since Covid, Matto Espresso which is a franchise has also mushroomed with over twenty locations. It definitely fills a need for those who want a quick cup of coffee and something tasty to eat. There is one chilled drink, the Iced Banana Latte, that costs more than the normal price, that I am keen to try. It is sold at all the Matto Espresso cafes.

    Great place for a cheap and quick coffee! Warning there's no seating inside so really only come for the coffee. That said, if you order ahead in the app, all coffee is $2.50! Which is amazing compared to all the pricey nyc coffee shops. Baristas here are pretty friendly and good at getting your coffees and pastries ready in time for you to head out to the rest of your day. The inside is nice is clean, making it super easy to pop in and out!

    Hot Dignity Dog !!!  Can't say no to a free coffee at this new Matto Espresso shop.  I can spot a Matto a mile away due to the iconic Tarot card they have  and the red letter MATTO sign so when I spotted it I had to check it out. It's a bit small with a stand up counter inside and a few tables outside, but I expect most orders here will be to go.   The usual Matto's everything for $2 , or $2.50 sign was gone, and I had to pay $3 for a brownie, I guess Matto couldn't stop inflation especially on Lexington Ave.    They still have pliantly of decent number of muffins , cakes, cookies and even at $3 they are worth the money

    Finally tried Matto at their newest location! Had the iced coffee with a splash of milk and it was great! Smooth and not acidic at all! The pastries looked good too, but I had just eaten breakfast so I didn't get any. Next time, I'll be sure to try some. Friendly staff too!

    Matto has been popping up everywhere! The newest location is in midtown east. One of the smaller locations, but has 3 tables outside of you want to sit & dine. Great coffee and a variety of baked goods. Love that they offer vegan and GF options too. No restroom. No Wi-Fi.

    Do not assume discount price means bodega quality. The coffee and pastry are good and whether get on app for 2.50 or in person 3.00 it is great value for money.

    I stumbled upon Matto Espresso and it turns out to be a franchise with multiple locations. The store manager kindly informed me that the decor and menu are consistent across all of their locations. Despite being open for only eight months, the manager was patient in answering all of my questions. I was particularly impressed with the stunning ceiling decor and reasonable pricing. Everything is bake by them and I do see a few interesting ones. I recommend trying their egg with vegetarian sausage on a whole grain roll. I would suggest stopping by.

    So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

The generous serving had creamy, silky layers and was easily enough for the two of us to share. Sweet, light, and refreshing. Plenty of seating, generous portions, and a stop here never disappoints! Located on 32nd St, between Broadway & 5th Ave Train: 34 St-Herald Sq (N/Q/R/W); also an easy walk from Penn Station. Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
