    Fig Cream Matcha
    Caroline O.

    A bit grainy.. grassy matcha taste if you're into that type of matcha. I think it's decent.

    This matcha spot is a nice grab-and-go cafe. They don't really have any tables here so don't come here if you want to get work done or catch up with a friend. We ordered at the kiosk and our order was ready within 10 minutes (despite it being so busy in the cafe). They have a variety of great matcha drinks as well as milk and fruit teas if you don't want matcha. It is definitely on the pricy side as my matcha came out to $11 but it was good. I got the fig cream and thought that my drink was very rich and creamy. I couldn't really taste the fig itself but that's okay. But, do I think it was worth $11? Absolutely not.

    Came for the fig matcha specifically! You order on the kiosk and pick up. Small seating area inside. Love that you can taste the matcha in each of our drinks that complimented the flavors Matcha jasmine - like a milk tea Matcha lemonade - refreshing Matcha coco with mochi - loved this! The mochi addition was so nice, and they were fresh mochi chunks Fig cream matcha - fig flavors in the cream--jammy flavors, not too sweet

    This was in the list to visit, recommended by many No line, which is perfect. Order via big screen tablets. Seating: small benches area inside. We order: Fig cream matcha Matcha lemonade Matcha coco Matcha jasmine Overall they give you a good amount of Matcha.

    First I must admit that my partner waited in that Choji line for half an hour before bringing me this fig matcha latte as a peace offering after a little spat, which immediately made the drink feel a little more special. But I also don't want to engage in stolen valor as I did not myself expend any time in that line. After all the hype for this fig matcha latte though I did not think it was any better than many other matcha drinks I've had. I think the matcha element of the drink was the best part. The boba was very mid, could never hold a candle to the likes of the boba at Xin Fu Tang. The fig cream added a nice sweetness but the flavor was much too subtle for me. In a blind taste test I would never know there was any fig in this. The dehydrated fig on top felt like it was just decorative. I took a few bites of it and ultimately ended up tossing it. So overall, tasty matcha drink, with mid boba and not at all waiting in any kind of line for.

    I wanted to try the viral fig matcha. I was anticipating a line, but there was only 1 other person in the store when I got there. It had a very chill vibe, and I even got to sit and do some work while I enjoyed my drink. I think I'm just used to socal matcha's but this wasn't life changing. It was a good drink overall, but definitely one I'd recommend mixing first before drinking. I'm not a mixer, I like to enjoy the layers separately and together, but by the time I was mostly done with the matcha, the fig cream had an entirely different flavor in my straw and I had no matcha to pair it with. One thing I appreciated was that this drink was not sweet. If you like a sweet drink, definitely get it more sweet (not regular sweet).

    WOW I was so incredibly impressed by Choji! I had seen and heard of them from several people I know and was itching to try their matcha. I came in during Memorial Day weekend, and it luckily wasn't too packed. The store is pretty small with limited seating (and no tables), but my friend and I thankfully snagged a bench. I ordered the Fig Cream Matcha, which was delicious. Their ratio of matcha to milk is very well done; the matcha is not too diluted, and the flavor comes through very well. I went with less sweet, which was also perfect. I will say that the fig cream doesn't necessarily taste like fig, but it was very yummy! My boyfriend similarly loved his Matcha Latte, and my friend enjoyed her Double Matcha. In general, I really enjoyed my experience here! I will definitely be back.

    fig cream was delicious and I'm probably gonna go back to try the jasmine matcha, but idk if it was $10 worthy matcha

    I came here after my friend recommended it and was shocked that my drink ended up being almost $11 but I kinda get it now. I ordered the Double Hojicha with Mochi and less sugar. I normally chug my drinks but there's a lot of mochi and it's super filling so it feels like I'm getting a huge dessert rather than an expensive drink. Would definitely come back!

    More like 2.5 stars. The viral fig matcha latte videos brought me here. I decided on the Hojicha Latte option instead ($8.50 + 0.75 oat milk), unsweetened; with fig cream. The cold foam cream is medium sweet with a nice light fig (I guess?) flavor. From other videos (Fig Matcha Latte) I decided on an unsweetened latte - that was a good choice. However I tasted the Hojicha flavor only within the first or second sip & then none at all. Tried using my straw & tasting each layer separately, but still no roasted tea notes. Maybe their package of tea powder oxidized? Maybe I should have asked for the extra Hojicha latte scoop (but WHY pay more for flavor that you're supposed to already get?) The oatmilk was room temp/warm at the bottom of the drink, but there still wasn't any tea flavor in it! The drink was better around the top with the cold foam & ice. It was super easy to drink & I was finishing it quickly. But I realized that's because there was a lot of ice in it (don't think there's an option for ice levels on the kiosk). With 1/2 drink left, I even discarded (carefully around the $$ cold foam) 8-10 pieces of ice & there were still around 8 pieces in the cup. The fruit on top is actually freeze-dried (am picturing those bags of freeze dried fruit from the Asian Market or maybe a CostCo (west coast). It didn't have much flavor, cardboard-ish. Maybe a tiny bit more when I took it out and let it comes to room temperature. Disappointed because I really like figs, but they don't have the fresh fruit here. My recommendation would be to buy the Fig Cream by itself (if they sell it) & top off your own matcha or coffee latte at home. The shop is more of a to-go environment. There's a nice L-shaped bench along the window but it's not a space for work or meetings. The staff is really quick & focused! Laid-back environment. Appreciate the details in the decor - kiosk cord keeper box, small raised side tables on the bench, labubu's displayed up high. But as far as my drink, the depth of flavor for a $8.50 - $10 drink wasn't there. There were a lot of people coming in for the fig latte, but also a lot of Matcha and other fruit tea orders - and not only NYU students, other adults, a European couple, a young group in suits, guy from the gym..

    Strawberry Matcha
    Dhriti N.

    Honestly the matcha here was quite delicious. But as with most matcha flavored drinks, the strawberry was the star of the drink and it was just a hint of matcha. For a mostly boba style tea shop, this was a delicious drink though. Was a bit disappointed by how many menu items they were out of. We were super excited to try the fig cream matcha and the banana pudding matcha. But both were sold out :( They had the matchas made pretty quickly! And the presentation and cups were cute and easy use. Place is small and cute, not much place to sit as with most nyc boba shops. Would go again for a yummy boba style drink. Also would wanna try a non-flavored latte to check out the actual matcha taste next time :) Overall 7.6/10 for a yummy flavored drink. But 5-6/10 for a strongly matcha tasting drink

    If you're looking for a matcha spot with a vibrant array of specialty items, I would say that Choji is definitely the spot. Choji offers a variety of specialty items that you might not find in other parts of manhattan, especially not on one menu. One of the first things you'll notice about Choji is really the sheer variety of specialty drinks on the menu. From banana pudding matcha lattes to creme brulée and fig cream matcha, the menu reads more like a dessert café than a traditional tea house. These are drinks you won't find all in one place anywhere else in the city, and that uniqueness is a major part of the cafes appeal. I love being able to come in and having so many options for my cravings on that day. And the best part is that each drink is actually good, each crafted to balance well with the matcha. If you're visiting Choji expecting a traditional, ceremonial-grade matcha experience, you might be slightly disappointed. The matcha quality here is definitely not as good as other ceremonial matcha locations. And that is being that many of the drinks here are sweetened, flavored, and layered with cream or fruit, which means the matcha quality you're tasting isn't the same as a classic tea-house pour. That is however, not to say that the matcha quality here is poor. Using high quality matcha for sweetened specialty drinks would just ultimately be a waste of a high quality matcha's use. I believe they used matcha that was the perfect balance for the drinks they craft here. Overall, my friends and I really enjoyed all the drinks here.

    Banana Pudding Matcha, Matcha Fig Cream, Double Matcha
    Mary U.

    5 stars on every single drink we got. Double matcha was strong and perfect for anyone who loves a good umami flavor. Fig cream matcha was sweet, creamy, and delicious. Banana pudding matcha was the perfect mixture of banana and matcha flavor. I liked that there were chunks of banana in each sip. Only downside was that service was kind of slow. They seemed to be doing orders in groups, so the two other orders waiting in front of us got their drinks at the same time as us. They looked like they've been waiting a while before us and seemed a little irritated that their drinks weren't finished yet. We were the last order and it took 15 minutes from when we ordered to when we got them. The other times I've been here there wasn't a line at all though and it was fine. Seating inside is limited and ordering is easy to do on the kiosk.

No real interaction with the staff but they are efficient. Place is clean with some space for seating.

This location is accessible via A train at 42nd Street Port Authority. Upon arriving there was a woman in front of me arguing with the staff persistently haggling the price to be lowered, but to no avail. Woman, no means no! There are other bubble tea businesses within the locale that may appease your needs, but not this particular Gong Cha whom apologized for the inconvenience of the inability to lower the price on the product ordered. As I waited patiently, I took photos of this business' environment. The staff stated the cash register is not working and currently unable to accept either credit or debit cards, but cash only payments. Ergo, I was unable to obtain a sales receipt nor a drink label printed. I wonder if the staff reboot the register or check their internet connection to be offline as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] Customer service is average. Well... if the staff can lower the price for one customer why not lower it for ALL customers? Surely, why not make my drink order as inclusion for lowering the price, please? Hell no, of course not! The conclusion was ironclad. In the real world, this cannot happen. As I stood on line waiting for this woman to let go and walk away from her argument I had shrunk to my own gnawing thoughts. I took photos of the atmospheric environment. There is a cute signage: "Bubble tea where refreshment meets creativity." The pink metal water bottle is very adorably cute which is something that I would certainly purchase. Peach green tea, medium $7.25 My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. At 30% sugar level request, it was slightly higher in sugar content. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg would shake his head at me in disbelief with disapproval and disappointment for consuming this excessively sugary drink. The peach green tea was not the cause of the sweetness but a man-made sugar embed measurement error. Nevertheless, this Gong Cha satisfied my bubble tea fix as it is now my addiction - in addition to my other addiction, writing. [1] O/O/O = Out Of Order

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.
