BANANA DATE LATTE, Egg Avocado Croissant
Joyce K.

Love that there is a high-quality affordable coffee chain in this city! There's a Matto close to where I work so I'm often finding myself here looking for a treat. Some of my favorite things on the menu are their banana date latte (a steal at $4 on the app), egg avocado croissant sandwich, cinnamon scone, and their matcha isn't half bad either. Definitely get the app - you get a discount and can order ahead - they're super speedy and usually have the order ready within a few minutes. I just wish there were more seating options inside the cafe itself.

Baked goods

Stopped here for a small bit and pick-me-up. Cold Brew is not too strong, appears it's made in house and is dispensed strait from the cold brewer. Had a chocolate chip cookie, they asked if I wanted it warmed up but I passed and wished I didn't. It was good flavor but the warm-up would have made it soft and chewy.

strawberry matcha

i love matcha and found out this place sells it, i was looking to try something new so i got strawberry matcha and it was great although i did have to add a small bit of sweetener but it was great. i also think this is a nyc brand so any area in nyc has a matto espresso cafe to try.

Chocolate chip cookie

One of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in a long time! The guy at the front desk was very kind and I was in and out in a flash. Highly recommend.

Bread pudding vegan muffin

Blown away by this new coffee shop in the UES. All prices are SO reasonable - I paid $3.50 for a cold foam cappuccino with oat milk!!?! The barista was soooo kind and pleasant, making the experience even better. I had a vegan bread pudding muffin which blew me away. I'd go back everyday if I lived nearby!

Matto Espresso at 359 East 68th Street is very efficient. They have a steady stream of customers. There's a counter with stools inside where I ate my Cheese Boureka. There's seating outside but it's in the sun. My boureka was so greasy and absolutely delicious! Only $2.73! I felt welcome here and comfortable at the counter. The employees are friendly and efficient. Paying cash makes it quick. I like this location. I recommend you visit if you are nearby!

Work from home views, paired with an almond milk latte and blueberry muffing from Matto!

I LOVE Matto! For so many reasons, it has become a great work from home breakfast spot. Conveniently located on 68th Street, across from MSK, it is close to all major healthcare facilities and a cute park with playground a few steps over. The cafe is a small takeout location with great treats, gluten free options and fresh made breakfast sandwiches. Coffees and drinks are made to order in addition to their baked goods and fridge with prepacked snacks and drinks. Everything here is $2.50, so the scoffing after being rung up for an $8 coffee wont happen here.

This place was my saving grace ever since I started my new job in the area. Everything around this neighborhood is super expensive so I'm happy to see I can still get delicious coffee and snacks without going broke. As someone whose picky with their coffee, I love their products and it's a lot tastier and better quality than Starbucks and Dunkin in my opinion. My favorites are the caramel iced latte, banana date latte and their vegetarian sausage sandwich. Thanks for supporting a community of workers who just need a drink to get through their day!

Cold foam Iced Cappuchino and chocolate chip cookie

Tried this place for the first time today and I'm obsessed now! First of all they're extremely affordable without having to compromise quality ! I got the iced cappuccino with cold foam and it was not even $4! This was better than any iced drink i get somewhere else and more than half the price of what i get it elsewhere. I also got a chocolate chip cookie and it was chewy and delicious going to come back for sure. Customer service was also great the woman in the front was very kind and friendly

Everything is $2.50. Yes, even your iced oatmilk mocha. Yes, even the croissant-and-omelet sandwich. It's takeout only, but there are a couple of outdoor tables on the sidewalk. The barista is lovely. The espresso drinks are smooth. The hot cocoa seems like it's cream-based -- it's ultra rich even with a shot of espresso added (yes, still $2.50!). Pro tip: bring it home and spike it for an indulgent adult beverage.

I'm always craving for something (usually something sweet), but I never know exactly what I want, so having Matto in the neighborhood is fantastic for me! They always have sweets and pastries on the right side of the glass. I'm guessing their sweet staples are brownies, cookies, and muffins. They have other things on certain days. There were two choices of croissants today! Butter (classic) croissants and almond croissants. I opted for an almond croissant because I needed something sweet in my blood! I quickly took a bite out of it and thought it wasn't the best. They have better things. But the more the ate, I discovered they had a sweet almond paste in the middle that was absolutely delicious! it had the right amount of sweetness and nuttiness to it. The pastry part is flakey, but also a tad chewy. It might've tasted better if it was warm. I also left home without anything to drink today, so I needed something. Anything! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find anything I wanted there (besides their coffee selection, juices, and sparkling water), but to my surprise, they also have lattes and tea! Between the chai latte and matcha latte, I ordered the matcha latte, and it was a great option. It is on the sweeter side, but I'm not complaining! I don't normally have sweets, so this was my treat to myself. It's sweet and had a good amount of matcha to it: not too overwhelming and not too subtle. I'll have to check out their savory options the next time I visit!

Not being able to go out and about going through my phone looking for places I been too but not reviewed and there are lots and lots. Matto has this crazy deal you can get a good large cup of coffee and something to eat at $2 each. Even the cappuccino, machiatos too abet a small cup only. the cakes, cookies, croissants are fresh and taste good. Many other vendors charge more for the same thing. I never have gone wrong going to Mattos yet and I look forward to going back to them again. I think there are 11 Mattos Espresso in Manhattan and I been to 8 and this is my 6th review. like many businesses in the metro area they are temporarily closed.

Chocolate Chip Cookie
Cassidy L.

This place is a great find. The mocha was fantastic - although I think they were out of what they normally make it out of so it was made out of a chocolate sauce - still great! The almond croissant wasn't that great but it also wasn't any different than any other place where you would pay double for it. The chocolate chip cookie I wouldn't recommend, tasted like maybe it was made from frozen, similar to those from subway.

They have a table to pickup preorders so you don't have to wait in the main line. I ordered a dozen for $39. You can select your assortment. Here's my review in order from the best to the least desirable, according to our group. Vanilla custard- the filling was thick and speckled with vanilla beans. It wasn't too sweet. This was the best according to our group. Strawberry filled- this is most traditional and Breads Bakery does a nice job. The jam is homemade. Pistachio- this doughnut was filled with smooth pistachio cream and was topped with a few pieces of pistachio. Not traditional, but they did a good job. Chocolate- the filling tasted like a semisweet or bittersweet cream/custard. Like the others, it was smooth. The vanilla was more popular among our group and I personally didn't love this doughnut. Mango- this was the one that those in my group felt missed the mark. It wasn't cloyingly sweet, so that was good, but the filling didn't do anything for us either. If you're looking for a mango dessert the one at Lysée is a real winner.

Most people are in and out. The coffee is rich and flavorful. The pastries are not bad either. Definitely a good neighborhood spot for those that aren't looking to spend their whole day in a coffee spot but instead are looking to grab and go.

Let me tell you why this coffee shop stands above the rest:…read more 1. They use quality beans. I'm a home barista and use Oslo's beans for my americanos. When I moved to the UES, I was worried finding a new local roaster. I've had bad experiences where the beans are too oily or something is off that messes with my usually grind size/extraction time. No issues with Oslo's beans. 2. They actually know how to make a proper americano. Every coffee shop takes a standard cup, puts in the espresso shot, and then fills hot water to the brim of the cup. This destroys the flavor of the espresso. You end up with hot water that tastes slightly like coffee. Oslo chooses quality over quantity. They don't fill the water up to the brim, so you have a cup with 2/3 of liquid; however, this is a proper americano. You can taste the difference. At other shops, I just get drip coffee because they don't know what they're doing. Oslo knows what they're doing. That's why I come here.

We were a little late for our reservation, and they gave our table away, which was quite annoying. However, the service, hospitality, and food more than made up for it. Someone came over to apologize for the mix up and offered us complimentary white wine while we waited for another table to open up. The wine was delicious! When we were finally seated, we started with some drinks. I got the Speranza, and it was light, fresh, and delicious! We were pleasantly surprised by the complimentary bread basket brought to the table, as it's a rarity in nyc these days. We split a burrata amongst the table. Loved the addition of figs. I ordered the rigatoni all'aragosta for my dish, which was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. There was a decent portion of lobster in the dish, and I couldn't even finish all of it, I was so full. One of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. My friends ordered the bolognese and the fettuccine alla nerano, and they enjoyed their dishes as well! We skipped dessert this time, but I would definitely be back for it. I also want to try the paccheri next time, as well as their coffee shop in the mornings! Overall, a well executed restaurant with great ambience (would be great for a date night with the dim lighting and ability to hear each other speak). They just need to get a bigger dining room so they can seat more parties because they always seem to be booked full!

Unfortunately, it was totally bland and not large at all. The side sauce added nothing and over 30$ with tax/tip. For entrees, we shared the lobster pasta and the guazzetto di Pesci. The pasta was good. Reasonable amount of pasta but we would have liked some more chunks of lobster for the price. I thought the sauce was only ok but my girlfriend liked it. The guazzetto di Pesci was only fair. The sauce was lacking flavor. Also a very small bowl of broth with maybe 3 small shrimp and muscles, a few small chunks of fish. and two sad, tiny pieces of bread on the side. Since we were still quite hungry after the meal, we ordered the lotus chocolate caramel dessert. This was the only dish we really liked. kinda hard to mess up gelato though. It came with a hard outer candy shell and a very small cookie center that was sweet and delicious. Overall, an average meal at best that we both felt was lacking in taste and size. Won't return.
