I came here during the soft opening and was so intrigued by the idea of having peanut butter in matcha. There was a decent amount of seats and this vibey spot also sold coffee beans and different butters. I tried the matcha latte with peanut butter and it was so creamy, rich, and delicious. It was on the pricy side, but definitely enjoyed ordering it and trying something new :) read more

A cute spot to chill and hang out for a bit as it's a pretty open concept with a bunch of seating. Service was pretty friendly and they made the drinks pretty quickly. I got the PB&J latte and it was a pretty big size given that my total was $9. I wish it had two espresso shots, but this one comes with one as a standard. The drink mostly tastes like raspberry syrup with a hint of peanut butter in a watered down latte. I would come back to try other drinks, but most likely wouldn't get this one again. read more

Best peanut butter latte I've ever had. I already want to go back ASAP. This was one of the most unique and delicious lattes I've tried, and I can see why it's their number one best seller. The cafe is very spacious, and even though there are plenty of seats, many were already taken by remote workers and students. The bathroom is single-use but very clean and roomy. I also love the overall theme and vibe of the cafe. Definitely a trendy spot that's worth checking out. read more

Matcha latte: 1/5, service: 5/5 I wanted a matcha latte but the line at 12 Matcha was way too long so I went around he corner to Buddy Buddy instead. Both places have been on my list of places try a matcha at. So I'm allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and didn't realize this place specializes in all things nuts LOL. But I told the cashier of my allergies and he was super nice and helpful and let me know what I could order. You're given a little scanner thing and it will buzz when your drink is ready. It took like 5 minutes for my drink to be ready. The guy who gave me my drink was super nice and even commented on how the matcha matched my green sweater. I got an iced matcha latte with raspberry syrup and no nuts obviously. Presentation: 5/5, taste: 1/5 I'm sorry but this was one of the worst matchas I've ever had. When you mix it up, there is no flavor. It tastes completely watered down (even with all the ice still in it and it didn't melt yet). Maybe getting a drink with nuts in it since they're known for that will be better but I was really disappointed because there was so much potential. read more

Pb&j latte was very peanut butter and jelly like. It honestly tasted like I was drinking a liquified uncrustable filling. I thought it was very unique but I couldn't taste any coffee flavor. If it were stronger I think I would have enjoyed more They have a computer zone where you can sit for 90 min and do work. Otherwise there's the normal sitting area read more

I was on a mission for matcha downtown. When I saw Buddy Buddy I wasn't sure this was the spot for a good matcha bc they specialize in peanut butter coffees but apparently their matcha is delicious too! The music inside is vibey, it's full of people chatting. Overall fun and lively. In the back there's a special area for people with laptops. They're away from the main area and don't ruin the cool vibe of the cafe. I loved my drink and would def come back! Btw there are a few other non caffeinated options in case you don't do coffee. read more

Okayyyyy I didn't want to give into the hype but boy was I impressed. From the ambiance, to the laptop area, and the nut butter collection that's for sale. I loved all areas of this coffee shop! I got le buddy with almond milk iced! First sip, couldn't tell the difference from a regular latte. The more I drank it, the peanut butter taste came thorough and it was surprisingly very good. I would love to buy their nut butters to take home as well. They had many flavors from cinnamon bun to pecan pie to cocoa. read more

SERVICE - located in NoHo - spacious interior with seating in the front near the ordering counter and in the back - can get crowded quickly especially during busier hours - baristas were friendly and made drinks relatively quickly MENU - nut butter based drinks and baked goods - plant based milk alternatives available - average price FOOD - almond butter chai (5/10): i got this hot because it was cold outside and i wanted something to warm me up. The barista did say that they recommend their drinks to be iced so maybe that influenced my review. The chai was okay though i found it to be watery and lacking spices. I could not find any almond butter flavor throughout the drink until I got to the end and saw a clump of it at the bottom. WOULD I GO BACK? I loved the concept so i would be willing to give it a second chance and order something different before making a final judgment. read more

I am a huge fan of peanut butter and coffee so I had to try the Le Buddy to see if I liked it. The shop in itself has a lot of small tables in the front and a little more seats in the back so it's not too big but definitely a nice place to take a break. The service was really quick and very bubbly which is always nice. Now, the coffee, it really was everything I thought it would be. It was like a very nice peanut butter latte which is not something I've ever seen personally but I think it is something that people should do more often. Will definitely be back to try other nut coffees in the future as well as their pastries! read more

I had been hearing about this nut butter cafe and decided to try it out. There was a small line outside the building, but it moved quickly and we were inside in about 3 minutes. Inside the shop they have their homemade nut butters lining the walls for sale and coffee beans. There are self-seating tables along the wall and some in the back, but it was very crowded and took a bit to wait for a table to open up. I ordered the PB&J iced latte with oat milk, the cacao butter cheeks and a PB matcha. The PB&J latte was the least favorite item, which surprised me because it seemed to be the most recommended. The jelly was overpowering in the coffee so next time I would get the plan PB latte. The butter cheeks was really good, not too sweet, I would get it again. Overall, this coffee was fun for a treat but not somewhere I'd go frequently. read more

Such a cool place! I loved the vibes of the store. It was pretty crowded when I went, so there was no available seating, but since the place was pretty spacious, there was still room to walk around and wait for my drink. I loved how organized everything was. There was a line right next to the door, marked by a rope, and it moved fairly quickly. The cashier was also very nice. After ordering my drink (Fruity Buddy), she handed me a pager. I only waited for about five minutes, and the drink was delicious. The taste of the peanut butter wasn't too overpowering, and the overall drink was so smooth (I had expected a slightly gritty texture). I would love to come back to try their pastries and purchase a nut butter. read more

Giving a strong review mainly for cafe design and subtly of the drinks! The interior is beautiful and so thoughtfully designed, it's nice to notice all the details (like pb&j inspired stained glass windows). We tried their mocha and classic buddy buddy peanut butter latte. Both were really delicious without the nut butter being too overpowering, and I also appreciated how the drinks weren't too sweet. I also tried their pb&j cheek, which tasted like a rich muffin top. read more

Could not taste the coffee or matcha of it otherwise. Can taste the fruitiness of the raspberry syrups to cut through it read more

I really enjoyed the Le Buddy iced latte. The peanut butter steamed into the drink was such a fun twist. It was rich and flavorful at first. The only thing I noticed was that as I kept drinking, the peanut butter flavor kind of faded. I do wish there had been a bit more peanut butter so the flavor lasted throughout the entire drink (and yes, it was stirred). There was a pretty long line outside, so definitely be prepared to wait a bit. The space inside is actually pretty big though, which is nice. I'd come back again! read more

Another cool coffee option to experience if you don't have any nut allergies. This place has a decent amount of tables to come and sit and do online tasks or enjoying some good coffee drinks with friends. I must say though, that everyone that was there had a laptop open. It was kind of interesting, reminding me of late night summer nights when they had Internet cafes, drinking chock full of nuts coffee. IYKYK. I had this place on my radar because I wanted to try one of the many butter options they sell for some future smoothies, I mean spring is here and summer is knocking right around the corner. I love a good almond butter and to find that someone decided to create drinks using peanut butter and all the other butters they had to offer I couldn't resist. I purchased an almond butter latte with peanut butter milk (hot), along with an almond chocolate chip cookie and after getting some sample tasting, I went home with a jar of cinnamon roll butter. It was so creamy with a hint of cinnamon notes, perfect to put into a smoothie. The service was great as well, the guy who made my drink, remade it for me with no problem because it wasn't hot enough for me. The young girl who helped me was also sweet with helping me with my decision on what butter to purchase. You can also buy other items they have available, coffees, tote bags, t-shirts etc. Overall, I was happy with what I purchased but I know I won't be running back here to buy anything else. The butter was pricey and along with yes, that delicious cookie and latte I purchased, it's just too far of a trip to make and nothing left a lasting impression on me to go running back. If you're in the area it's worth a try, but if you live uptown and far away, it's not really worth the trip. I will give a thumb up and has always Happy Yelping! read more

Super cute place and nice ambiance. The baristas were all really nice and the place was honestly just a good vibe. Lattes aren't even that bad price-wise for be a specialty coffee in NYC.

My friend suggested this spot as we are both nut lovers. I got the Matcha Buddy which is a Peanut Butter, Oat Mylk & Full-Bodied Ceremonial Matcha Tea and my friend got the Almond Butter Chai which is Almond Butter, Oat Mylk, Chai Spices & Cinnamon. We both got PB&J Cheek (?) and a Hazelnut Cookie to share. Everything was delicious and we would love to come back to try more! The place is spacious and well lit. We came around 10:15am, and the place was busy. We managed to grab a seat, but after an hour the place got so so packed! This spot is definitely popular for a reason. The staff is nice too. They explained to me some items on menu. Prices are of market average. You can get a drink from $6,50 - $8. Pastries were also within the same price range. read more

Love the concept of nut butter coffee. My husband got the fruit buddy and I got the almond butter chai. I loved the chai (it was perfectly balanced!) but we thought the fruity buddy was not very flavorful - we couldn't really taste the different components and it just tasted kind of muddled. The staff are kind and helpful, they were very patient when explaining the menu. The cafe is super spacious and beautiful. I love that there's art on the walls. There's also a laptop area in the back, but it's pretty hard to find seats during prime time. read more

I'm so sad that I don't live closer to here This place is amazing! What a fun and unique concept, I've actually never tried peanut butter in my coffee before.

The place was packed! I think they'll do a great job in ny. read more

I loveeee this place! There was nowhere to sit, but it's a pretty popular place, because they do have a good amount of seating and even a back computer/laptop area. I ordered the Ube nut butter latte and it was super nut butter/peanut butter flavor forward. But I loveeee that cause I peanut butter so I thought it was delicious. I also tried the nutbutter/jelly cheeks muffin and it was super moist and had great flavor. Could have eaten 10 of those things, so I do wish it was bigger. If you love peanut butter you would LOVE this place, and everyone was very nice and patient. Wish I lived it New York so I could come back and try literally everything on the menu. read more

For a single shot, it's a pricey latte (8.50 for the fruity peanut butter one). The taste is fine. 3.5/5. Because there is more milk than there is espresso, it's mostly the taste of milky peanut butter. If you'd usually like your lattes sweet and you're here, I would go for the drink with the raspberry inspired by PB&J. If you'd like to buy their jars of peanut butter, it goes from 18 to 23 dollars. read more

The almond bulletproof coffee is really smooth and delicious, especially if you love almond butter. We also tried the cookies - the PB&J is really popular and has a really creamy peanut butter and prominent jelly flavor. But my personal favorite is the pecan cacao cookie - the pecan butter is so delicious (I wish there was more!) and it was enveloped in a nice fudgy brownie texture with nice chocolate chunks. It's definitely hard to get a seat though and a bit cramped, so may not be the best to hang for a long time. read more

Saw online they had a soft opening so I came to check it out. I learned this is a French coffee shop opening its doors in manhattan. They don't use added sugars, just nut butters mixed in to their coffees. The praline mocha sounded the most intriguing to me because it had hazelnut butter and cacao, so I was thinking it would taste something like Nutella. While the cacao flavor was definitely there, I didn't taste much of the hazelnut, but the concept of adding various nut butters into drinks is cool. I usually prefer sweet drinks, so this didn't hit the mark as a go to spot for me, but I'd still love to come back and try more. One popular drink is peanut butter mixed in espresso, which I'd love to try next. As they're just opening it was pretty busy, but they have a good amount of seating and a laptop friendly section too which is convenient. Free WiFi as well. It's in a busy area so I'm sure they'll do well when they officially open as well. read more

i got the dream buddy, which is a mix of ube & peanut butter! amazingly enough, it tastes as good as it looks. the ube cuts through the decadent peanut butter with both flavors shining equally, and you can tell they use very high-quality nut butters here. i also loved that it was a caffeine-free drink. as someone who tries to avoid caffeine, i appreciate that they have such a wide menu of coffee, matcha, and caffeine-free beverages! seating is a bit tough to find, and when i was leaving, there was even a line to enter the cafe! that being said, i hope you take the time to soak in the gorgeous interior, even if you're just there to grab a drink & go! read more

I was weary of visiting this place because I am not the biggest "nut" person and that seems to be the biggest draw to it. The main reason I decided to visit was because I needed a drink and the line at 12 matcha (around the corner) was a bit too long. The aesthetics are metallic but not in a totally minimalist way. If someone told me that the interior of the cafe was once a set of a 1970s spaceship with some Industrial elements , I would believe them. This place came with merchandise including apparel and coffee bags and of course nut butters and all their accoutrements. The shelves were there before the register at the front of the store and also at the back where there was a self checkout option. But I came for the drinks so that is what I tried to order. A good number of their signature drinks came with peanut butter. While I am not allergic, I have a slight distaste for it. I was contemplating to go somewhere else, the lovely person at the register told me I could replace the peanut butter with the other butters they had. I was delighted and chose hazelnut due to my allegiance to Nutella and j chose to drink the Dream Buddy which was a collaboration they had with REM Beauty. The ube, vanilla bean drink was smooth and very interesting (nothing clashing to me or too overpowering). I think the cafe had something unique to offer that can definitely appeal to some. Since they had chairs and tables, it can create some fans who would do work there. I might come back to try the other recommendations and may even try the peanut butter. read more

As a coffee and peanut butter lover I cannot express enough how much I love this place! It opened a month ago, and genuinely I go every week!

surprisingly so good!!! i'm always skeptical of a viral new cafe but this one is def worth the visit - all the way from paris! the drink: i got the le buddy which is their signature latte with peanut butter and i think it automatically comes with oat milk. it's super nutty, flavorful, and actually not as sweet as i thought! i would def get this again. their seasonal batch brew is also a MUST ORDER!!! you can tell it's extremely high qual from the fruity notes! the pastries: i tried the almond flour cookie and it was sooooooo bad lol i really tried to like it but it tastes like a mixture of cardboard and sand... so try anything but this one the space: it's big but so busy so hard to find a seat. but if you linger long enough you might! the service: they're pretty busy all the time so nothing notable here read more

Walked by and stumbled upon here. As soon as you walk in it smells nutty. Layout is nice. The front half is to hang out and there's a back portion where it's designated just for people with laptops. I got two cookies to try. Alittle bit too sweet to eat more than a bite. Normally I hate when a latte taste only of milk. But this time around the coffee bean flavor is light but balances well with the nut butter inside. I would come here and try another drink. But will pass on the cookies. After a couple weeks looks like there's a line now. I won't wait in line since I get impatient so maybe another day with less people. read more

The line to order moved quickly which was so appreciated because in other spots, I have waited over an hour. The matcha was delicious, you can definitely taste the peanut butter. The coffee is more mild with the peanut butter taste. I got a little pastry with hazelnut, but it was not my favorite. Texture wise, it tasted like I was eating protein powder food. The seats are limited since people usually stay and talk. They have a laptop area in the back (bar style) for people to work. I would stop by again, it's a nice little drink to enjoy. read more
