Craving some matcha and happened to be the closest nearby. It's a small store but there is a long table to sit at. They ran out of the strawberry matcha latte so my boyfriend and I opted for the matcha latte. Doesn't come sweetened so paid extra for vanilla syrup. Matcha latte: 5/10 Didn't meet my expectations :( I think I'm spoiled because of California. I could hardly taste the vanilla and the matcha itself was bitter and grassy. At least the color was nice. Matcha croissant: 6/10 The croissant itself was okay but I didn't realize there wasn't any filling in the center. Probably should've gotten the chocolate croissant instead. Baristas seemed unenthusiastic but I understand that it could've been an off day for them.
Stopped by Cha Cha Matcha for a strawberry matcha. The location right across from Bryant Park is perfect, and the aesthetic inside is Instagram-worthy. The drink was a bit sweeter than I typically go for, but I think that's just the nature of strawberry matcha rather than a knock on how they made it. Great spot to grab a drink!
This is THE place to go when you're craving some good, authentic matcha. This tiny but mighty cafe has a decent sized menu for all the matcha items you are craving. When I got there, the line wasn't bad, by the time my friend came to meet me and we sat down with our drinks, the line was out the door! But the staff were efficient and it moved fast. It's so welcoming and pretty inside and had just enough tables to enjoy your drink for a bit. I didn't want anything fancy, so opted for the iced matcha water but next time I'm going to try something fun!
- Service: Nice, fast, and friendly staff. - Ambiance: Nice and clean store. - Food/Drink: We tried Iced Matcha Latte and Matcha Colada. The latte was pretty decent. It's smooth and not too bitter. Seem like they also offer different kinds of milk if you want to go non-dairy! Matcha Colada has a lot of ingredients in it, so I can barely taste any matcha, but it's still like a nice Piña Colada I'd say. There's a lot of Cha Cha Matcha stores in NY, and I'm surprised that they're not overpriced! Would recommend to anyone who needs a good cup of matcha.
DRINKS We ordered their matcha latte and their strawberry matcha. Considering the matcha shortage, both were surprisingly high in matcha content, which we loved. The drinks come unsweetened, so if you would like additional sweetness, simple syrups are available at the side bar by the napkins to add to your drinks. FOOD Soft serve was available for purchase, though we didn't get any this time around. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! There was quite a line when we arrived, but they went through orders efficiently and accurately. AMBIANCE There are about 3 tables for two inside the store. It can be very cramped inside, especially as people wait for orders, but the line filters through quickly so people are in and out. That being said, this definitely isn't the best place to catch up with a friend or work/study, so I'd leave this as a grab-and-go location. PARKING Paid garages are available nearby, and street parking is available at a limited capacity.
Not sure why this place doesn't have 5 stars. Love this place the matcha is always consistent and also their speciality/seasonal drinks always slap. The ube matcha was so fresh and amazing. The ube didn't over power the matcha which I do love because when normally these two end up in the same drink it's normally super sweet. So I loved how they were able to balance it out. I prefer this location rather than the other one by 5th ave because it's such a larger space and the lines not going out the door. Also loved how cute it was inside and you could actually sit and fit in there.
The storefront is so cute and picture-worthy. I love green and tile. Unfortunately it's really small and not a place to sit down, just an order-and-pick-up kind of place. I got a yuzu matcha lemonade and it was so delicious and refreshing. Matcha flavor can be pretty hidden in a lemonade though. We took some pictures and headed out, and a block down I realized my cup was leaking. Went back in and showed the staff, and they easily replaced the cup for me. I'll have to go back again and try their matcha latte, see if they're good!
The space is super cute, the pink and green theme is absolutely adorable. I also enjoyed the fact that I could watch the barista make the drink. The person who served me was very helpful and was quick to make my order. Unfortunately, this strawberry matcha latte was a disappointment. The bitterness was overpowering, making it hard to enjoy the strawberry flavor, and there was little to no balance in flavor. It lacked the smooth, creamy texture that a good matcha latte should have. If you love matcha, you might find this one too harsh. I couldn't even drink it. I gave the rest to my boyfriend after a couple sips and he didn't like it either.
Really cute place that sells authentic matcha (the dark green stuff) and very conveniently located. I like my matcha more bitter but they have sugar and syrup on the side to add if you prefer! The napkins are so cute!
Gave the place a second try after reaching out to customer service and being invited back. Unfortunately, I was disappointed and frustrated again. This time I ordered the purple drink. The drink wasn't bad, a little too sweet for my tastes, but it was not even close to a full cup. Maybe the other locations are better, but just avoid the one here at Bryant Park if you're going to go.
Cha Cha Matcha definitely nails the aesthetic. Super cute and IG worthy with all the pink decor. But when it comes to the drinks, I wasn't too impressed. I've tried a few different ones and honestly, they're overpriced for what you get. Not sure how authentic the matcha is, but it doesn't taste like high quality. I would not pay that much for matcha again...
There are many other shops in the city, so if you're looking to sit and spend time in the cafe -- this specific location is NOT for you. It's set up mostly as a grab and go situation, very limited seating. The matcha had a great depth in flavor, you can taste the strawberry and matcha without the flavors overpowering the other. A bit on the pricier side but that's expected! Kind workers
Conveniently located on fifth Avenue near Bryant Park, right outside the train station. This location is my morning go to before heading into the office. The shop is small, quick and friendly service. The Matcha latte is a little bland, I go for the Matcha chai, which doesn't have an overpowering chai taste $7. Lots of options to choose from including soft serve, they even sell their ceremonial Matcha and all the tools to re-create your favorite drink at home.
I had heard about this matcha spot and was so excited to finally try it! I personally like my matcha on the sweeter side, so this one was a little too bitter for my taste. If you prefer a stronger, less sweet matcha, though, you might really enjoy it. The service was good, and it's a cute little spot with a great view and a nice, relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try, but I would probably ask for my matcha a little sweeter next time! read more

This was on our walk to Central Park so of course I had to stop in! The reviews of this place are great so I had high expectations. Cha Cha didn't disappoint! I absolutely loved my matcha lemonade. This is a cute little spot. Love the color scheme of pink and green. And the cute decor. There are a few tables inside should you want to sit and enjoy your bevy. Staff is welcoming and very friendly. Drinks are made fresh and quick. They also have matcha soft serve and sell loose matcha as well as matcha kits and the tools you need to make that perfect matcha tea. read more

This is one of my favorite go-to places to in NYC! CHA CHA MATCHA!!! tens all across the board! If you know me, you know how much I'm obsessed with this place and their Matcha Lemonade. I've tried it at Starbucks, but it just doesn't hit the same. It's just something about the combination that makes this drink so addicting. You just can't have enough! I know they also have limited-edition menu items; unfortunately I didn't get there in time to try those, but there's always next time. Plus, they've got Matcha soft serve - perfect for a hot, sunny day in NYC! Moving on to the aesthetics of this place.. it is so cute. I love how you can just chill and watch them whip up your drinks - a cute little show. read more

On an indulgent hot spring day, I had the urge for a colorful and healthy/decadent drink near Bryant Park. Cha Cha Matcha was calling my name! I got the Strawberry matcha (with collagen, ashwagandha, bee pollen, vanilla, oat milk). My one gripe is that there was a lot of ice leaving less room for the actual goods. For $8+ a pop, a little pricey for a drink that lasted 3 minutes :) read more

I came on a weekend in December. There was only one person in line in front of me and the service was fast. The store is small and there are 3 small tables inside. I got the matcha latte which was good, but not the best I've ever had. While I was there, other people came in and it did get crowded inside. Most people got their drinks to go, but a line did form to order and to wait for drinks. They have outlets if you need to charge your phone, but they said they did not have wifi. read more

Starting a new job and was looking for a new matcha spot. Found Cha Cha Matcha. There are a number of matcha options, coffee options and even soft serve. The pricing varies with the flavor you get. I've tried the matcha latte, the chai matcha latte and the matcha on draft. I've like them all, depends on your mood. The matcha latte is completely unsweetened. read more

The matcha isn't so great, it tasted bitter and just powdery. The pumpkin spice matcha was around $11 and it was not worth it at all, it was spicy and it didn't blend well together. The regular matcha latte with oat milk was below average. They didn't have soy milk, which was a shame. The only positive thing about this store is the decor. The barista initially made our drinks with whole milk instead of oat milk because she misheard us but she remade it after we told her. The music is appalling. It doesn't match the vibe of the cafe at all. We sat for 5 minutes and then left because we couldn't stand it anymore. read more

Tasty, beautiful beverages for all types of preferences. On a local scale, they may prove competitive; but I would say that begins to pale, nationally; and very much so, internationally. While I did not try the pastries on the occasion I visited, they looked quite dry and as if they had been left out for quite some time. read more

Is it normal to have the bowl of matcha and whisk so close to where customers are giving their order and paying? I felt soo uncomfy that the bowl of matcha and whisk were sitting right next to the tablet. At first, i thought there was a glass or some type of partition but no. Sadly I didnt realize till I was mid paying and I felt so disgusted. I understand space is small but Ive seen cafes put their ingredients behind them rather than in an area on the counter which is exposed to spit, sweat, etc. Very disappointing. read more

I'm crazy about matcha! My last visit here I ordered their matcha soft serve and loved it. This time around I came in for their matcha latte. This drink really hit the spot for me on a cool winter morning. It was nice to walk around the city with a hot and rejuvenating cup of matcha (especially in a cute pink cup)! I love their branding here. Everything from the "love you so matcha" napkins to the pink walls is super cute. I especially loved the green powdered heart on my drink. If you're not crazy about matcha, they have a few things that aren't matcha. However, if you are, they have A LOT of things that are matcha too. A very fun stop on the way to something. The wait wasn't too long and they have some seating available at this location. read more

We went to this place after visiting the library. They had amazing AC that felt so nice after walking around on a hot day. I got the strawberry matcha and thought it was good. I love a strong taste of matcha so I thought the strawberry took away from that a bit. My friends got the Ube drink and it tasted like cereal milk, it was delicious. I would love to come back to this place ! The workers were also very welcoming and nice. read more

I'll give Cha Cha 2 stars for the aesthetic/service. Drink looked great, the interior of the store was nice, friendly staff as well. But the drink tasted way too sweet. The strawberry/vanilla was overpowering and I couldn't taste any of the matcha (which I think is ceremonial grade). For it being $10, I had much higher expectations. I've ordered their draft Matcha Latte before at an LA Cha Cha location, and didn't remember it like this. read more

I came to Cha Cha Matcha not really knowing what to expect. I wanted to visit a place to grab a quick coffee and I ended up here. This place was such a breath of fresh air. Small and quaint, but inviting and interesting. The staff there was very kind and welcoming. They made me feel as if I were a long time customer. I got a Matcha Chai latte and I absolutely loved it. Not much else to say honestly. If you're in the area, definitely try out Cha Cha Matcha read more

This was delicious and super great service! I am so happy there is a decent matcha place near the office. The strawberry matcha was the perfect balance between the matcha's taste and natural sweetness from the strawberry puree. They make it on the spot and everything is made by the wonderful staff! The croissant was also delicious as was their chia/oats pudding. The restaurant is also very cozy but rather on the smaller side. Still great place for a caffeine date! read more
