The Best Matcha Lattes in NYC

09/29/17

Best Matcha Lattes in NYC | Health Coach Marissa Vicario | Cha Cha Matcha

It’s no secret that I love a good matcha latte. After discovering so many matcha bars serving up this satisfying green tea drink last summer, I’ve been all over the city sampling the best matcha lattes in NYC.

But, why matcha? A Japanese tradition, matcha is the highest quality powdered green tea available.  It’s high in antioxidants and acts as an anti-inflammatory. It has the power to lower cholesterol and even help with weight loss and while it is caffeinated, the effect is far different than a cup of coffee. Personally, I can’t tolerate caffeine without feeling jittery or panicky, but matcha makes me feel calm and focused.

With matcha trending in the health food world, local cafes are making their own versions of a matcha latte. Needless to say, I’ve tried many. These are the best matcha lattes in NYC that I’ve found so far:

One // Cha Cha Matcha: The place that sparked my love of matcha. Its totally Instagramable pink and green decor and friendly staff make this somewhat of an NYC destination. I’ve been known to wake up extra early for my matcha fix just to beat the long lines of tourists.

What makes it special? Flavored matcha for the win! I’m addicted to the ginger turmeric, the pumpkin spice for fall is so basic but so worth it and peppermint is festive for the holidays. Cha Cha Matcha also has an impressive list of non-dairy milks from which to choose.

Locations:
373 Broome Street
1158 Broadway

Two // Blue Stone Lane: David and I braved the lines at this Australian-inspired cafe for breakfast one weekend. Lo and behold when the menu came, not only were they serving up matcha lattes, but also golden lattes (with turmeric) and beet lattes for a wellness latte triple threat.

What makes it special: Their matcha lattes are delish but so are the beet and golden lattes. They have a wellness latte sampler so you can try all three. Highly recommend!

Locations:
several locations throughout New York City

Three // Cha Lait: As far as I’m concerned, Cha Lait pioneered Matcha Lattes in New York City. It was there I tried my first ever matcha latte two years ago and knew I could become quickly addicted.

What makes it special? Cha Lait is clean and understated just like matcha should be.

Locations:
1216 Broadway
75 9th Avenue
299 West Houston Street

Four // Greecologies: My husband stumbled on this cafe for its coffee and Greek yogurt, but they also make matcha lattes and they’re really good. The fragrant rose matcha latte is my favorite.

What makes is special? The cafe is spacious so seating is plentiful and the quaint garden at their NoLita location is a treat.

Locations:
379 Broome Street
152 2nd Avenue

Five // Ground Support: For a shop known for its coffee, I admittedly had my doubts, but they get the matcha latte right every time.

What makes it special? The friendly staff.

Location:
399 West Broadway

Six // Matchaful: Quite possibly THE best ceremonial grade matcha I’ve found in the city (and the vegan, gluten-free donuts are pretty amazing too).

What makes it special? The staff is passionate about matcha and it shows!

Locations:
359 Canal Street
450 West 33rd Street
217 Mulberry Street

Our last day at Disney and now I can say it’s tr Our last day at Disney and now I can say it’s truly the most magical place … 

My Dad texted me a photo of me with my mom and sister on a ride at Disney circa 1982 (see my stories) and I knew I just had to recreate that moment with Valentina today. 

We’ve made so many wonderful memories here and we can’t wait to come back for more! 💚💋✨

Not the Mother's Day I was looking forward to but Not the Mother's Day I was looking forward to but feeling so blessed to be a Mother at all and extra lucky it’s to this darling girl right here ... 

On Thursday afternoon we picked up Valentina from daycare and I immediately knew something was wrong - her hands and feet felt cold and her body was hot. When we got home, she said she was "cold" so I took her temperature and sure enough, she had a fever. 

I kept her home on Friday and by Friday night her fever was full blown. After a rough night, the pediatrician squeezed us in on Saturday morning and did a full virus panel. 

Later that day, we got a call from her school that someone in her classroom tested positive. A few hours later, we got her positive result. Her pediatrician said David and I should test today and I, too, am positive. 

So with canceled brunch plans and an overall feeling of disappointment, here we are, but that's Motherhood in a nutshell. Learning to lean into the unpredictability and find joy in the canceled plans and extra snuggles. 

To those for whom this day brings heartache, I honor those feelings because for so many years, I felt them too. 💚💋💐
