    Have a coworker who raves about this place and their nut butter drinks. This was a delicious and refreshing drink to have in the summer with a dash of peanut butter. I thought it was fine, luckily didn't have to wait in line for it. The matcha could have been a bit more matcha-y but it was fine. Specialty matcha drinks like these focus more on the specialty flavor instead of the matcha.

    Visited in the morning and the place was packed! Was able to get a seat in the laptop section in the back, but people were chatting very loudly so would not recommend planning on doing any serious work there. Their signature drink was pretty good since I love peanut butter. Interested in trying others in the future.

    The interior is well decorated and very spacious. I got the fruity buddy but I don't think I like peanut butter that much. If you do like peanut butter, you might love this.

    This place is nuts!!! It's full of nut-butter-infused drinks and pastry options. The cafe itself has a wide, open layout. Even when all the seats are occupied, it still feels spacious and isn't too loud to chat with your buddies.

    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 :)

    Loved everything about this space!! Super aesthetic, great music and a large seating space. We ordered the le buddy, an iced Americano and a pb&j pastry. The peanut butter is very prominent & delicious in the latte, would love to try other flavors and the almond butter/hazelnut butter lattes as well! Love that they sold their nut butters too!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Pb&j latte
    Felicia Y.

    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

    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.

    Don't miss it

    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.

    Butter cheeks and fruity buddy
    Sonali P.

    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.

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
