I'm a black coffee guy through and through. No milk. No sugar. Just straight gasoline into my bloodstream. I don't want it to taste good. I just woke up and have to chase my dreams. You think they are going to just hand you your dreams? I don't want a treat. I didn't earn a treat. A black coffee is like running on an empty stomach. It puts you in a different mindset. Survival mode. On the hunt. I gotta earn the food. Imagine what they would say about me if they saw me drinking a dirty chai latte in the morning. Imagine what I would say about myself. I didn't earn that. I need to stay close to God. All this to say I tend to stay far away from hyped up coffee shops but my big bro wanted to hit Rhythm Zero, and he is big bro for a reason, so I obliged. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I entered into a small space that feels vast. High ceilings. Minimal furniture. Huge Renaissance-style art on the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]An environment tailor made for you to lose sight of yourself and order their $8 Coco Americana.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I won't lie. I thought about it. A moment of weakness. "It's just an americano that swaps out standard water for chilled coconut water..." No. I went to the bathroom and looked myself in the mirror. COWARD! Who do you want to be? I walked out. Bathroom door? Slammed. Large cold brew? Ordered. Chase Sapphire Preferred card? tapped. Small win? Earned.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, I've never hated a coffee shop more than this. Perfect for transplants in the sense that the place felt so cold, sterile, and unwelcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's not giving community coffee shop, it's giving gtfo as quick as you can. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor and vibe just felt so off. Giving coffee shop art studio museum but in the worst way possible?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] & 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...) read more

The blackberry pie matcha here was a 10/10, so good that I got it two days in a row during my 3 night stay here!

I will definitely be coming back for this matcha again though! read more

Blackberry pie matcha- the milk was so creamy and thick. The berry portion tasted like pie filling more so than jam. I thought they nailed this combo Yuzu matcha- fizzy and citrusy.

Wow, my expectations were very high and Rhythm Zero delivered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop randomly smells so good, like earthy & almost like a really inoffensive perfume.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior design is also gorgeous. The furniture and decor is so thoughtfully curated and made it seem like a gallery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are two big couches, a few seats, and a large communal table for laptop work. Some tables outdoors too for once the weather warms up![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's really close to the Transmitter Park as well, so super convenient to take your drink to go. Service was really friendly, and although it is a small area behind the counter and it was busy, drinks came out relatively quickly. The Blackberry Pie Matcha was honestly incredible. I'm typically someone who gravitates towards seasonal/fun drinks, so this is right up my alley. I don't know how they did it, but they really captured the pie flavor in this drink. It was almost buttery and custard-y and paired super nicely with the matcha and fruitiness of the blackberry. Everyone in the Transmitter Park had a cup, so I need to try their coffee as well. read more

We stopped by Rhythm Zero for coffee, purchased our drinks, and sat outside with some pastries we'd brought from elsewhere. A woman from the next table abruptly called over that we couldn't eat outside food. There was no "hi," no introduction, no "thanks for stopping by," just an immediate reprimand. She never identified that she worked there, so it felt like a random person shouting at us. To make matters worse, we later found out she was one of the owners. We have no issue with a no outside food policy, but the disrespectful tone and lack of professionalism were disappointing. A simple introduction and polite explanation would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, it left us feeling unwelcome despite being paying customers. EDIT for the business manager: Thank you for taking the time to respond. I completely understand and respect your outside food policy, and we were happy to comply. I respectfully don't think your recollection of the interaction matches what our group experienced. All five of us independently walked away with the same impression that it felt abrupt and unwelcoming rather than a polite explanation. I truly believe a simple introduction before explaining the policy would have made all the difference. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Hip and modern outpost of the original location in Greenpoint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and the line was quite long. I got the viral Blackberry Pie Matcha and was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's more of a dessert drink, but it hits the spot, it's not overly sweet, and the sauce pairs very well with the matcha - 5/5. My partner got the Coconut Americano, which came with an americano cloud, and gave it a 4/5. read more

Came to Rhythm Zero while staying in Greenpoint to try the iced coconut americana which I was super intrigued by. It's coconut water topped with a later of espresso foam for a refreshing, light pick-me-up kind of drink. I'm definitely a cappuccino kind of girl so I like my drinks on the stronger side but I was pleasantly surprised by this. The coconut water adds a light sweetness to the espresso. I do wish the foam was a bit richer but the airyness is nice if you want something that is closer to a milk foam than a cream top. My friend got the yuzu matcha spritz which I also tried. Citrusy and bright, it's definitely a great alternative to coffee and I could definitely see myself coming back for this as well! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe has some large tables inside as well as small tables on the street for a good amount of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I also saw people working from there on a Friday morning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall great place to grab coffee to-go or stay for a bit with a friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been coming here for a while now, and it always hits the spot! It's a chill, dog friendly spot plus they have a restroom, which is always nice to have when just hanging around with friends. Service is okay, not super friendly, but not unfriendly either. They used to have a raspberry matcha latte which I loved, wish they would bring it back! My new go-to drink is the Blueberry Matcha Latte - it's creamy, the matcha is high quality (I believe they use Kettl matcha), and not too sweet. My friend got the Coconut Americana and she said it was really light and refreshing. read more

What a chill coffee shop this is! It is probably because of the time I went but there were nit many people here. I mean most of the chairs/couches here were taken. There are two or three outdoor tables as well. The vibes here are pretty chill. It is on a side street of Green point and it is luckily walking distance from the ferry. I came here to try the viral Coconut iced Americano. I had forgot the name of it but as soon as I said the viral drink to the barista she knew exactly what I was talking about. Wow this drink is very tasty I was surprised I was going to enjoy it as much as I did. The staff here were friendly, nice and all young people. I would deff come back here. There are other locations in Manhattan as well. read more

Ordered: Iced Coco Americana (~$8): frothed espresso and Strange coconut water Aya's take: Rhythm Zero is a modern, aesthetically pleasing cafe in the heart of Greenpoint. Between the round tables, couches, and large portraits hanging, I knew we were in for a treat. It gets super busy and loud, definitely not the spot to come to for some quiet reading or relaxing. The Iced Coco Americana is one of the most unique coffee drinks I've tried this year! It was super refreshing and naturally sweet from the coconut water with that lightly creamy and bold, rich intensity from the frothed espresso. You do have to keep mixing this drink aggressively for the 2 layers to mix. But before you do mix, make sure you take that cute photo. I also love their minimalistic branding on the cups. Great spot; I would come back for the matcha! read more

I rarely come to Greenpoint but was here today and decided to try out this cafe right near the water. The inside was super aesthetic, almost like an art gallery with white walls and aesthetic furniture. They had decent indoor seating and also some tables outside. I know they are famous for their Coconut Water Americano but since I was feeling something milky, I got a Pear Brown Sugar Latte. The staff were extremely nice and we chatted while they made our drinks. The latte was really good, with a unique scent of pear and a hint of brown sugar and cinnamon, reminding me of fall in a way. I tried some of my friend's coconut water americano and it was surprisingly refreshing and delicious! This place is perfect to chill and enjoy coffee and I'd definitely come back read more

After hearing all the hype behind their coconut americana, i had to check it out. I do usually like all my coffees sweet with milk, and this definitely satisfied my craving.

Cute and quaint coffee place in Greenpoint! Not very spacious inside, as the line went out the door with just 3-4 person wait ahead, and most tables and seats were filled even on a weekday afternoon. Definitely a grab-and-go type of place. Tried the blueberry matcha and it was yummy! I do think there's better matcha elsewhere though. Really enjoyed the subtle sweetness of the blueberry puree, but it was a little heavy on the milk. Their menu says they source their matcha from Kettl which is nearby, so might be worth going there for matcha and stopping in at Rhythm Zero for coffee instead. :) read more

I've been meaning to try this cafe for what feels like forever after I had seen so many videos singing the praises of their matcha lattes. Sadly, the reality didn't quite match the hype... I ordered a matcha latte and an iced latte. The iced latte was...fine, but way too heavy on the milk. The matcha latte, on the other hand, was downright disappointing. When the drink came out, I stood there flabbergasted. I haven't seen such a bad matcha latte in what feels like months; it was grainy, the color was off, and it looked way too milky (spoiler, it was). I was already a little scared when I watched it being made, and saw the water being added to the matcha without being measured or strained...i understand that some cafes don't strain their matcha and it comes out fine but it mightve been necessary here. The result? A grainy, milky drink that lacked any hint of matcha. I haven't had matcha this underwhelming in a while..extremely disappointing. As for the ambiance, the interior itself was decent but it felt kind of basic, lacking in character, something was missing. However there was a fair amount of seating. The service was also extremely lackluster. We didn't feel very welcomed, the staff was extremely indifferent and disengaged. TLDR; You can skip this one. And if you come, bring an extra shot of matcha, you'll need it. read more

I haven't tried any other drinks on their menu, but their iced coconut americano alone gets 5 stars! There was a bit of a line on a Saturday morning, but it wasn't too long of a wait. It's not a huge space, but there are a few tables. You'd just have to be lucky with timing since it was mostly full I was a bit unsure of the coconut coffee drink because I had one somewhere else that used a very strong artificial coconut flavor (forgot the brand), but still decided to give this one a try. It was so good! light and refreshing, and not tooo coconutty. I also love that they whip their espresso before pouring it in so it's not just a straight shot I'm still thinking about this drink weeks after we tried it. Can't wait to go back! read more

I thought this place might be all hype, but I actually really enjoyed their pear brown sugar latte. It tasted exactly how it sounds and was surprisingly pleasant--the pear added a touch of freshness to what's usually a heavier drink. I also loved the aesthetic of the space; it feels very artsy and thoughtfully designed. That said, it's definitely best to come during off-peak hours, otherwise there's usually a line. read more

So glad this new-ish spot opened in Greenpoint, it was such a delight to try their solid coffee, and in the summer they had this lemon sorbet that was super interesting though quite expensive. They put the sorbet in a lemon and inside a cup just for ease of transport and it was refreshingly delicious and eating it out of a lemon is fun. The peach iced tea was also quite delicious! They also had a season latte for fall which was a spiced pear latte and that was actually really delicious, not a flavor you see too often! The vibes here are immaculate as well and they were playing some jazzy japanese music which was right up my alley. Especially in the warm months, sitting at the tables outside is such a vibe. Have revisited and enjoyed what I've gotten each time, including at their west village location. read more

The furniture and ambiance is very much a modern designer's dream living room (could do without large haunting portraits just hanging around). It is expensive feeling here. The coffee is pretty good; the latte is a good balance of sweetness and fairly strong. There is a variety of seating: large tables to work on, 2 different couches, and some outdoor seating. Would recommend doing some WFH from here as it wasn't hard to find seating on a Friday afternoon. read more

Rhythm Zero - Interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

According to my friends, I am very "picky" about coffee lol, and I LOVE this place. My favorite coffee shop in NYC recently closed, so I was so happy to find Rhythm Zero. The coconut water Americana is PHENOMENAL, and I'm not really even a coconut water fan - it is a bit pricey tho (which makes sense bc it's a speciality drink), but I think all of the other drinks are reasonably priced for NYC. I can't believe there's no milk in the Americana - it was so creamy bc of the frothed espresso, making it a nice refreshing drink! I've also tried a cappuccino here and loved it as well, so they have good espresso. My friend ordered a strawberry matcha which I tried a sip of and thought it was good but pretty sweet (I don't like super sweetened matchas though, but I thought it was significantly better than blank streets strawberry matcha) Chocolate chip cookie is DELICIOUS too if you want a sweet treat but don't wanna wait in the long lines at some nearby bakeries. Interior is very clean, but seating is limited (they have a couch and two large circular communal tables, and a few individual tables inside and outside). Note that there is no-wifi here!!! read more

Rhythm Zero is a visual feast, with giant art pieces and a projector whimsically playing onto the walls. The furniture is an eclectic mix and match, like someone raided an antique store and decided to create a hipster haven. The bathroom was extremely aesthetic and cool. Strangely enough, it worked and vaguely reminded me of The Sipping Room by Breeze in Boston (though I do think that Rhythm Zero did a far better job with decor. See Yelp page here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sipping-room-by-breeze-boston ). I ordered the Yuzu Matcha and my friend opted for the Matcha Heaven. The Yuzu Matcha was more yuzu than matcha. I mean, I signed up for a harmonious blend, but what I got was yuzu trying to steal the spotlight. My friend took a sip and said it tasted like guava. Guava? Really? To me, it was more like a weird, bitter note gate-crashing the party. I took a sip of the Matcha Heaven and it was equally as disappointing. With a name like that, I expect an ethereal experience but was met with a milk masquerade: the matcha was so muted that it simply tasted like milk. I've had my fair share of good matcha latte moments previously working for a Japanese tea company, and this was definitely not one of them (especially for a drink named Matcha Heaven). So, while Rhythm Zero might be a visual and aesthetic delight, the drinks left me yearning for a bit more substance and flavor. Maybe next time, they'll get the balance just right. read more
