Cha Cha Matcha is probably one of the most popular cafés in the city. A matcha-only café, they serve a variety of year-round and seasonal matcha drinks as well as soft-serve with rotating flavors in addition to their matcha flavor. Sometimes they make latte art and other times they use stencils. They have two locations, one in SoHo and one in Nomad. Continue reading “Cha Cha Matcha”
I’m not a huge pie fan but Four and Twenty Blackbirds definitely converted me. It’s a pie shop located in Gowanus, Brooklyn and they’re famous for their custard pies.

You have to specifically request the cream art lattes because those drinks are actually cold. They serve it as a cold brew or as cold black milk tea. I prefer it as milk tea and I’m supposing they serve it cold so that the latte art lasts longer. Their bingsoo (also known as shaved ice) is also very popular. You can see their menu here.
