This Matto is by far my favorite location to visit despite there being 4 more in the 1 mile radius of my job. I love how convenient it is to order through the app for pickup but because there are so many locations, I sometimes choose the wrong one. This happened twice, but the employee here was so nice about it. The first time I picked up my order several hours later because I had meant to pick a different matto closer to work instead of the train. He made me a new drink on the spot when he remembered throwing out my old one. The second time I ordered an almond croissant and was about to run to the other location, but he just took a picture of my receipt and said I could pick here instead. His kindness made my day!!
Everything at Matto is $2.50 if you order through their app. Their drinks and pastries are decent considering the price. The lattes aren't as strong and the pastries aren't amazing but they're so affordable and convenient that they've become my go-to. I've had the following:
-Spinach Burekas: a flaky spinach pastry with crumbled feta cheese. Not enough cheese or spinach layered in so it's mostly dough and it's not as flaky as I would like. It's heavy and filling due to all the dough
-Iced Banana Latte: Espresso blended with milk and dates. This was surprisingly good considering how weird it sounded! I thought it would use artificial banana syrup but it tasted authentic and had little date bits in it. Great choice for anyone into unique latte flavors.
-Iced Chai Latte: Didn't think the Chai flavor was strong enough and there was a lot of ice in the cup.
-Almond Croissant: a big croissant, but looked pretty flat, and didn't have the usual layers of flaky pastry. It was ok, but I wished it had more almond filling and was flakier.
-Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Lemon Donut: So moist and flavorful despite being vegan AND gluten free! This is one of my favorite items. The icing is bursting with lemon flavor.
-Truffle Brownie: a pretty good brownie that's slightly fudgy and very chocolately
-Pumpkin Spice Latte: The pumpkin flavor here is strange. Would not recommend.
They have so many other pastries and drinks here I'd love to try. The coffee isn't as good as other independent coffeeshops but it's just so affordable that I don't mind. They have juices, multigrain bars, and yogurt as well. read more
