    Banana hojicha latte
    Gab G.

    Stopped in here after visiting Banh by Lauren nearby. Iced banana hojicha latte was absolutely perfect. It's now tied with Kettl as my favorite hojicha in the city. Small place but they have some seating. Will be back!

    Went to try the rose matcha latte and it was very good!! The rose flavor was so aromatic and flavorful!!

    Matcha 108 is a small shop with limited seating and friendly service. Two young women behind the counter took orders and prepared the different flavored matcha lattes and hojicha lattes. I've never had a hojicha latte before so it was an easy choice to try. Hojicha is a Japanese roasted green tea. I was recommended to add sugar which I chose 50 percent. It was the right amount of sweetness. Overall, it is a great addition to the neighborhood. I can't believe how much the neighborhood has changed.

    Great matcha! My sis had the iced lavender and I tried the iced banana matcha, both very well balanced & not too sweet. Inside is small and staff friendly, it wasn't too long of a wait. Will come back to try their hojicha next time.

    Heard good things about Matcha 108 and decided to check it out. It's a small shop serving matcha with some seating. I got the lavender matcha and was served quickly. The lavender was very fragrant and sweet. Unique taste. Would go back to try the different flavors on the menu.

    Top tier lowkey matcha in this city. In a quiet street in Chinatown/LES. Friendly, williamsburg vibes. Extremely flavorful banana matcha and banana hojicha! Strong preference for the banana hojicha for a brown butter, banana bread flavor with hojicha. Friendly staff and quick at making your drinks!

    Matcha was yummy and people were friendly. Also liked the vibe. Didnt think it was spectacular though.

    Small, unassuming matcha shop located in Two Bridges with my favorite matcha in Manhattan. This place is no frills and they don't skimp on the matcha powder. It's strong and it's creamy. Of the times I've gone here, I haven't had to wait too long for my drinks! Some notes: they use oat milk & there's minimal seating in the store.

    This is the coolest matcha place I've been too and nothing can compared. When they say their matcha is ceremonial grade then you know Matcha 108 is not lying. Their matcha is very bright green compared to a lot of matcha places I've been to. I decided to go for their matcha banana latte and it was so cool and tasty. Could taste a subtle of banana syrup in the matcha. The matcha grade was so bright green that I licked every piece of matcha I could find in the cup! Also the interior of the store is so nice! Lots of Japanese armory and pieces of art! Love the wallpaper! There's also a racket full of clothes sitting against the wall, which I did not find it fit with the rest of the Japanese artwork. There bathroom is a bathroom behind the curtains in the back, which is a tight fit to get to. The bathroom is really small and looks like a bathroom in your own apartment because it has an old shower inside.

    4 stars for the drink, but minus 1 star for limited availability of menu options unfortunately. Probably one of the best matchas/hojichas you can get in manhattan, but with oat milk being the standard pairing, it lacked the full bodied texture and flavor that a latte has with dairy milk. I did appreciate the strength of the tea - it's quite rare to find a spot that actually puts enough tea in the lattes! Unfortunately they seem to run out of menu items, which can make ordering what you hope for potentially difficult. The day I went there was only agave sweetener, and no vanilla, which I imagine is a popular variation of both matcha and hojicha. (Makes me wonder, how can you run out of vanilla?!) There is a small amount of seating inside, and staff are overall helpful and are doing what they can with what is available to them. Management likely needs to better estimate how much stock they need of their various flavorings so that they don't sell out.

    Amazing spot I found out of the blue. Seems fairly new, small cute space with a clothing boutique. Place was amazing. I don't really get hojicha or matcha, but this was the best Hojicha I've had! Wasn't too sweet and was so rich and flavorful. Small spot but lovely decorated interior. Would definitely go! Worker was nice and very good at making matcha/hojicha.

    A relatively new matcha spot in the LES! I really enjoyed the bold, earthy matcha that they feature. Love how they give you a GENEROUS amount of matcha!! My partner's banana matcha latte was probably my favorite out of the 3 drinks I tried. The matcha blended smoothly with the banana milk and it wasn't too sweet. The uji matcha without milk was refreshing and mixed very well. My uji matcha latte was less creamy/milky than others in NYC, but it again really highlighted the strong matcha flavors. All drinks are made with oat milk. Unfortunately my drink had more matcha clumps, but our other two drinks did not and were mixed well. There was a long line so I wonder if they were just in a rush when sieving/mixing. You have the option to sweeten your drinks but we didn't. Several other customers asked for more ice but I felt like my drink to ice ratio was fine. Staff members were really nice and attentive. The store itself has limited seating. I liked the Japanese decor with the Chinese lettering outside. Definitely hole in the wall type of exterior. This place partners with a clothing store that features kimono-inspired clothing with other traditional Japanese influence.

    The matcha here is high quality and very classic. They don't have an overcomplicated menu, and their drinks are simple but good. They don't skimp on their lattes and put a proper amount of tea. They also don't charge extra for oat milk, which is a huge plus as a part of the lactose intolerance club. Drinks aren't too sweet either. The cafe is small with limited seating, but the ambiance is very nice. Overall, definitely recommend if you want a classic high quality latte.

It's rare to find a place that balances a stunning, high-design space with such warm, attentive service. We explored more of the menu this time, and everything was just as impressive. The oysters were incredibly fresh, clean, briny, and perfectly served. Another standout that I'll definitely be ordering again. Between the atmosphere, the consistency of the food (super yummy), and the thoughtful team, Conwell Hall is quickly becoming one of those places you keep coming back to.

    Overall rating: 4.8…read more I went here on one of those movie nights last summer. Yes, this is a very late review! The space is sooo pretty and definitely want to visit again.

I definitely want to come back and just try a drink at the bar. Worth giving it a try.

We tried the melon shaved ice $22 for the large which was a bit pricy but it was quite delicious. We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.

    This was definitely anything but a Sweet Moment…read more I came here fully influenced by Instagram and TikTok. The shaved ice looked dreamy, fluffy, and full of flavor. What I got instead was a cup of sadness with commitment issues. The shaved ice somehow had no flavor. None. I have had ice cubes straight from my freezer with more personality. Easily the most disappointing dessert I have had in NYC, and I have been living here my whole life, so please take that as you will. I kept waiting for the "sweet moment" to arrive and it never did. Just me, flavorless ice, and regret. If you are craving dessert, keep walking. This was a moment, yes, but sweet it was not.

I loved seeing the plants along with hints of pink, orange, and yellow throughout the art and furniture. It's a gorgeous space. Service was good, nothing much to mention. For food, we ordered the royal chai, mango lassi, breakfast kathi-rito, and the condensed milk bun. The standouts were the royal chai and the breakfast kathi-rito. The royal chai was creamy, salty, perfect sweet, and silky. It had notes of cinnamon and saffron, paired with sea salt. I loved this drink. The breakfast kathi-rito was tasty. I loved the potatoes, cheese, egg, avocado, and whatever else was in it. The sauce on the side was delicious. Not exactly sure what it was but it was sweet with a kick. The mango lassi did not have enough mango flavor for me, I couldn't justify paying $10 for it. The condensed milk bun was good but it was similar to any other sweet bun in an asian bakery. I'd pass on both of these. Overall, I'd highly recommend checking out Fontainhas. It'd be a perfect spot to check out if you're in the area for the Brooklyn Flea, or just Dumbo.

This was on display and it was marked as vegan which made it sound very enticing. Unfortunately it was a miss for me. The icing was overly sugary which gave it an almost cloyingly sweet taste and a crisp top. The cake was dry and lacked a strong mango flavor. I would have liked it more if there was a different frosting that was creamier and less sweet and if there was a layer of jam in the middle to keep the cake moist. - mango smoothie (10/10): mango blended with coconut yogurt and vanilla pea protein. This was phenomenal and i am surprised it was not as popular as it should be considering it has protein and probiotics. The texture is thick and creamy, but the tartness from the mango and yogurt make it still feel light. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! It is a nice hangout spot with a decent menu of drinks and food.
