As soon as I saw this spot on my IG feed, I knew I had to give it a try! NEXO is a pop-up and seems to have recently opened, and operates out of the Her Lounge in Phoenix most of the week, or for curbside pick-up at a different location. The menu has so many drinks that sound delicious, and they're able to make most of them either coffee or matcha based!
For my first visit, I ordered the earl gray matcha and the banana matcha, both with oat milk (which is their standard). As soon as I saw the drink colors, I knew I was going to get something good. All their syrups are housemade, which is such a plus for me, and you can tell because nothing tasted artificial in the slightest. The earl gray was delightfully floral, and had a strong flavor but didn't overpower the earthiness of the matcha. The banana was like a dessert, it was cinnamon forward, almost like eating banana bread and drinking a matcha with it! Even with such distinct flavors, the matcha was never lost in the drinks, and were so, so good!
The ladies that worked there were super sweet, and got my drinks out SO fast, I was shocked. There was also no wait on a Friday morning. I will definitely be back, and I'm looking forward to trying more drinks off the menu! I'd love to try the coffee. I highly recommend this spot! read more
