Love Matto Espresso! It's where you can get an inexpensive drink or small bite! Recommend you get the app to order, where some items can cost as low as $3! Second time at this Upper West Side location, but also frequented their other spots and can't wait until a day when I'll live closer to one! This time, I had an excellent, refreshing, large Pistachio Cold Brew with the House-made Organic Oat Milk. It was ready when I arrived and delicious. This location is quite small, but I was able to take advantage of its one small outdoor table. Note - Matto was one of the first places I saw promoting trendy Dubai Chocolate and Pistachio items in general. Pistachio is the nut that is overtaking Hazelnut, the nut that emerged in the '90s as the big food trend in ingredients and flavorings. Dubai Chocolate is a big part of that. Pistachio is everywhere! Pistachio is the new Hazelnut! (You can quote me on that!) To discover more about this pistachio phenomenon, check out this article: https://bit.ly/4pKCirp Recommend you check Matto Espresso out! Looking forward to my next trip to one of their locations! read more

First & foremost the Matto Espresso tops all espresso shops on the UWS. Its deeply penetrating flavors, amazing staff, delicious danishes, and in demand espresso beans can't "FOOL" anyone; why a larger store is so not needed! It was also a message for me to see their sinage...my new beginnings after a job lost in 11/2025 (3 in 5 years). Yes it sucks, when you're a resident in CraCra NYC and not working? It's pure insanity. The great news is that I literally launched two (2) viable and needed service companies. But, what caught my attention, was Matto Espresso store sinage. Because, I have a Matto miniature metal charm from Birthdate Co. an online candle shop. And inside some of their candles are Tarot charms & I was shocked me when I received The FOOL ("0" number). Of course I did get defensive but checked myself. Mic drop for sure. If you are aware of Tarot Card symbols, "Matto (The Fool) is the "0" or unnumbered card in the Major Arcana, representing new beginnings, infinite potential, spontaneity, and a "leap of faith" into the unknown. It portrays a free spirit often on a journey, symbolizing innocence, taking risks, and navigating life's major archetypes." - Wikipedia Matto Espresso Shop, symbolizes NYC spontaneous energy, infinite potential of being great New Yorkers, definitely our FREE SPIRITS, and being one of the countless coffee, espresso & tea shops...check out Matto Espresso on the UWS (530 Columbus Ave), check out the sinage, smile & get that delectable morning espresso, danish and more... read more

Matto Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I would say it's the best little coffee place on the upper west side even if it weren't about a buck cheaper than just about all the others. But considering their prices, it's probably the best little coffee place in the city. read more

Food: 4/5 High quality, delicious caffeinated beverages and teas along with a decent variety of pastries. My go to order is a matcha latte and cinnamon scone that make for satisfying and affordable pair. This is very hard to accomplish in today's economy so kudos to Matto. You've got a fan! Service: 4/5 Very effective and streamlined. Excellent app for ordering that provides a bit of a discount. $3 for some beverages. Ambiance: 3/5 Small and pick-up only only usually. The small, effective footprint allows for the lower costs so I'm good with grabbing my order and going on my merry way. read more

Hello Matto ... I'm back! My first stop after I got off the train from the airport. Oh I needed that coffee! Ordered on my app and it was waiting for me in the counter. Great service... good fresh coffee. Buy 10 get 1 free. Couldn't find where my free coffee voucher went... but I found it! Got to live Matto... and I'm so happy Pistachio Cold Brew is still on the menu and not seasonal. read more

We went to Matto Espresso for the first time and it was great! I had heard about this bakery and wanted to try. How this bakery works is that you download their app and load some money, and if you place order form Their app, almost all pastries and drinks are $3-$4. We got their iced chai latte and two potatoes bureka for $10. They warmed it up for us and it was yummy! The portion was definitely good compare to the price and their chai tea tasted good as well! This bakery became my favorite and will definitely come back! read more

I absolutely love Matto. The prices are unbelievable, $3 for coffee & pastries. Plus everything is more healthy and better for you than other coffee places. They don't believe in putting sugar in everything, which I appreciate. The lattes, cookies, brownies, croissants, danishes, coffee... I love it All! read more

Matto is quickly becoming a favorite coffee of mine in the city. Their $3 menu is amazing and they are always so nice!! Their pistachio cold brew is to die for. read more

I remember heading over for breakfast a couple of years ago when everything on the menu was $3, then it was $3.50 and now it's $4. Always cheaper and easier on the app, which worked out since I was working early voting at 85th street and could order ahead. My only issue is that egg sandwiches were cool and almost felt not completely cooked. Tried them again another day, same result. No real place online to comment or provide feedback on their site so am leaving it here. Just so you have been warned read more

I don't get here as often as I'd like. But it's a little small, can't really hang and have a cuppa here... but it's serviceable and a welcome break from the large chain from Seattle a block north away and the other hipster coffee place a block south (you can figure it out). Their pistachio cold brew is amazing! But their pastry offerings aren't great. Just pedestrian at best. The servers are nice though. I try to patronize when I'm in the area though. read more

Love Matto on UWS! Not only is the coffee great but Nattina and David are so kind and welcoming each time and treat my senior Labrador like a queen! Thank you for a great service and atmosphere! read more

I arrived around 6pm right before closing which I usually don't do coffee/espresso that late. Anyway, the very friendly counter man allowed me in. I'm so grateful he did. My gluten free power bar was delicious! I can't wait to order it again. Btw, I'm Not opposed to gluten. I was a little skeptical but it was great! My iced mocha was good. Best of all it was $5.50! It's a very small spot on the UWS and I believe there is 1 table outside. It really didn't as I walked and found a bench near CP. I will definitely recommend this spot and looking forward to returning! read more

I've gone like three times and the three times I've gone the customer services has been horrible and the drinks aren't even that good

Matto Espresso on Columbus and 86th area is a nice sunny walk across Central Park from my neighborhood. I love the prices and the food is always delicious. The coffee is okay and I can't beat the price! I've been to a lot of Matto Espresso Stores and the customer service is always very good. If you are in the neighborhood drop in for a treat and incredible savings! read more

Thank you, kiwi stranger who paid for my cold brew because I was short of the $4 credit minimum and waffling between the many rather reasonably priced sweet and savory pastry options. "Never keep a lady from her coffee" he quoted, from the book of Saturday morning wisdom. Good coffee. read more

As a frequent Matto customer, I have visited almost all of the Matto's throughout the city, and this one is as good as all the others. With everything priced at 2.72 (including tax), the drinks and pastries are more than worth the price. I tend to order hot lattes or hot teas, but decided to try an almondy and iced mocha today, both of which were made very well. The place is very small, so there is little to no seating, but I sat outside with a friend for over an hour and there was no issue. Would definitely come back again. read more

Great place for cheap coffee, pastries, and sandwiches in the city. Everything in the store was $2.75 and $2.50 if you order on their app. I got a vanilla latte with oat milk (no extra charge for oatmilk) and a mozzarella ciabatta sandwich heated up which cost me $5.99. Great deal and great for on the go! read more

Great coffee, reasonable prices, and diverse selection of sweet and savory pastries. What more to ask for? This is easily becoming one of my go-to places for a quick morning coffee and pastry buy. Their coffee is on point. I got their pistachio muffin and it had a good deal of walnuts with string pistachio flavor which made it absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I'm amazed at the beautiful renovation this location went under. I love that when you go pick up your mobile order, there is always a cute little Italian chocolate placed on top of your coffee as a bonus treat. The staff was very kind and welcoming, and greeted everyone warmly when they entered. I would love to come here every day if I lived closer! But I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Amazing deal for decent coffee!! I tried the banana latte and it was so delicious. I could easily see this becoming my go-to spot. Especially since it looks like they have a few vegan food options as well. read more

I honestly can't express how much I loved this recommendation. I paid $5.45 for an iced latte and avocado croissant sandwich (pretty much unheard of anywhere in NYC unless it's questionable) and my expectations were surpassed. Make sure you download the app and order through there for faster service and additional discounts! read more

I've been hitting the new-ish location at 95th and Lex. An Iced Banana Latte and a granola bar are just perfect after a vigorous afternoon at the gym. I can feel myself regenerating as I sit outside. The staff is friendly and efficient and it won't cost the price of dinner (unlike nowhere-as-good smoothies from nearby competitors). read more

Very much exceeded expectations. Everything $2. Got an iced almond milk latte w vanilla and hazelnut flavor. $2.18 total w tax. $4 minimum for cards so I paid $3 cash of course I paid change as a tip. Don't know how this is so cheap as the espresso honestly tasted great. I saw bags of la colombe coffee amongst others not sure if that means they use them but 5 stars def for me. Genuinely wish I lived close to here so I could come every morning, would save me a lot of money from the $6 I pay every morning for the same thing at the hipster coffee shop below my apt. Very small no seating but it's no frills, stop in get your coffee walk out. Food honestly looked great too just wasn't hungry read more

A very limited menu (eg they don't offer iced tea, my usual drug of choice when it comes to caffeine) but you can't really complain when it's all $2 a pop. And it's definitely the best and cheapest cappuccino I've had in Manhattan. Don't come expecting to linger, it's tiny! read more

Coffee from Matto is delicious and served at the perfect temperature. Their croissants are crisp and fluffy, but sell out quickly. The coffee is nice and strong. If you use the app, everything is $2 (plus tax). It is a tiny place with no where to sit, but if you are from the neighborhood and want a morning coffee and are too lazy to make it yourself, this place is the best. read more

Two dollars for Cappuccino that actually taste amazing in NYC is unbelievable. This place is a hidden gem I love that everything is $2 and to top it off everyone is super friendly thank you Matto! read more

I'm really confused. How is it possible that everything here is $2? I oh so casually walked past several times just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. In New York, of all places. Next thing you know, the MTA is going to issue clear, precise announcements and every subway station will be spanking clean. But in all seriousness, I have no idea how they're turning a profit which makes me nervous that they'll disappear and I won't have access to the best chocolate chip cookie I've devoured in recent memory. I can't speak for the coffee but I'm guessing that, based on the other reviews, a $2 cup of joe is not going to be the best roast in the world. Also, my $2 canteen of mango smoothie was nice and thick but a little chalky towards the end where all the sediment had settled. Probably can't go wrong with any of the pastries. My mom loved her Nutella croissant. The cookie I ordered skewed more on the shortbread taste but still perfectly chewy. I'll be back to try the sandwiches: the avocado on multigrain bread and apple turnover looked good, as did the cheese bureka. read more

Excellent excellent excellent! Everything is two dollars regardless of the size. Snacks are two as well...can't go wrong! With so many coffee shops in li the neighborhood, we still always go to Matto. Baristas are always friendly as well. I'll admit, I've only had lattes and espressos but I love them. read more

I love this place-everything truly is $2 ($4 minimum for credit card I believe). The cookies are great (my fav is the chocolate chip), muffins were great, and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing for the price! They're not always the same, but they've usually been a combo of egg plus veggies on a toasted croissant when I've been. They'll warm it up for you too! The only thing I've had that I would skip are the donuts. This location is small compared to other Mattos so it's more of a grab-n-go place. read more

ALERT THE MEDIA Everything is $2. For real - like everything. I got a latte, an almond croissant and a spinach boureka for $6. No joke. Just bc I feel the need to prove why this is epic, I just looked at a similar place in the same neighborhood (I'm not an asshole so I won't put them on blast) but the exact same order would have been $15. Also, the coffee was excellent (I'm picky about my coffee) and the pastries were good. The best? No - but $2? LEGIT. All the haters leaving 1 or 2 star reviews can go get a grip and spend $7 for a latte at Starbucks. read more

I am going there every morning, you know $2 for any thing any coffee this is a deal. So I came in yesterday as of any other day order my coffee But then they said $2.75 for your coffee ???? What I replay, Yes from now on we charge $0.75 extra for a shot This took me back a few years back just before they where shot down by the Sheriff ( one morning there was no coffee all their locations were colse). Going back about two weeks the Muffins are not avilable as of must of the sandwiches the bourekas are gone It looks exactly as of the last time. Disregards any of customer needs or want just cutting the items slowly. Sad sad it was a nice place to go for coffee and muffin No more. May be 10 or more locations is to much for them Or maybe they just do not care This is why I give 1 star that the probably do not even deserve now read more

Fantastic espresso, pastries and sandwiches. Thanks to the two girls working at Columbus someone tried to take my mobile order and they ran them down the street to bring it back! Also be careful with mobile orders as most likely people are doing this with mobile orders. read more

Quick stop on the way to work. Selection of coffee and teas. Prices very reasonable, particularly for NYC.

Everything is $2.50....and for the price the quality is VERY good! I especially love the chocolate almond croissants...
