Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the bustling Chelsea Market, this laid-back spot punches above its weight with creative specialty drinks like their signature bourbon vanilla iced matcha latte that keeps people coming back. The genuinely friendly barista team and cool interior design create the perfect low-key atmosphere for lingering over coffee or matcha, whether you're working on your laptop or meeting a friend. Fair warning: this hidden gem's word-of-mouth reputation means lines can form quickly once people discover it.”

I got a beautifully made iced matcha latte that did not disappoint. The Bourbon Vanilla syrup gave a nice added touch of sweetness. I’ll definitely be coming back for some matcha. 🍵
iced matcha was ok in flavor but was literally more than 50% ice. and $8. not worth it at all. service was great though, sad it wasn’t a good drink.
A laid back spot to grab some coffee and sit down for a bit. Extremely friendly and kind staff. There are a few seats available inside the space.
Very nice hidden coffee shop in the busy Chelsea Market. The barista was super friendly, coffees were good and the interior design was pretty cool. We decided to enjoy the coffee inside rather than take it to go and loved the vibe of the place. Will definitely go back.
It’s quite unassuming unless there’s people inside since it looks more like a bar. It seemed that many people thought so too since after we placed our order, there was a whole line forming after us. Because of that my mom and I were quite hesitant at first to step in as there was only one barista inside with no customers, but once we stepped in the barista immediately greeted us and took our order. I’m pretty particular with matcha lattes but this was exceptional. It got the job done and I loved his whisking technique. There was a bit clumping on the bottom and a slight bitter aftertaste, but quite vibrant and leaned more on the grassy side. You can ask for simple syrup as the sweetener and ice is extra. Iced matcha latte w almond milk: 8.5/10 Cost: $6.53
