Ordered: Lavender Matcha Duo (~$9): lavender syrup, uji matcha, uji matcha cream, milk Aya's take: It didn't take long for me to come back to Rok Matcha. They're still doing an amazing job controlling the lines without compromising the quality of their drinks. I got the Lavender Matcha Duo this time and it was just as good. Rich, creamy, and this time with a perfectly balanced floral element from the lavender. The uji matcha cream is insane and still one of the best I've tried. I think I would tone down the sweetness slightly (if this is an option) to 50-75% but otherwise, truly no complaints. Highly recommend!
These are some of the best cafe drinks I think I've ever had! We got the double matcha and black sesame coffee, and the flavors of both were so delicious. The matcha was the perfect matcha flavor without being too grassy or bitter or too sweet. It was also just the right texture! I also LOVED the black sesame coffee, which was creamy and full of black sesame and espresso flavor. If I lived near here I'd be here like every day. They have cute seating inside too, but not too much of it.
I was very excited to try this highly review matcha spot that was only located in LA prior. Luckily, Rok has graced NYC with its presence. I stopped by & got to try their matcha duo drink. I was advised to try the foam first. The matcha foam was super rich & delicious to taste. I think most matcha fans would approve of this drink because the matcha is high quality, it's rich & sweet enough to appease most people. However, the only reason I would rate it a 4/5 is the fact that the cup is small & a good portion of the cup is filled with cubed ice. It's also rounds out to about $7-8 per cup. I was a tad disappointed that my drink finished so fast. You can literally finish this drink in 10 min if you don't take your time. There's honestly not too much liquid content inside leaving you wanting more...
Ambiance: this place is an amazing matcha place Service: great service but no bathroom fyi Food $$: such good matcha it has like a nice cold foam taste. I got the coconut matcha Audience: Solo Trip [X] Family Friendly [ X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: go before it gets viral
I came here the other day (on a weekday afternoon) as I happened to be in the area, and there was a short line, so I figured I would take advantage of that. The drink menu is quite extensive with both duo drinks (cream tops) and more traditional matcha and coffee drinks. I got the earl gray matcha and it was absolutely delicious with the matcha flavor coming through. The service was excellent and friendly, but I'm docking a star because the space itself is pretty small with only a handful of tables. I could see this place getting beyond crowded which would make me claustrophobic if I was sitting at one of the tables with someone hovering over me. I would definitely come back to try more of their matcha drinks though.
I had the LA one with no adjustments and thought it was way too sweet. I got 0 sugar this time. prob just the latte was no sugar but cream top & blueberry puree had sugar. And it was a lot more enjoyable this time, but the bar was in the grounds from previous experience. However, after 10 sips I still think it's way too sweet, even if I treat it like a dessert and not a drink. Also I felt like something is missing and I think it's that it's too watery for my preference. The staffs were really sweet, so that's a plus! I don't see myself returning but I do think the variety and flavors they have are cool!
Rōk was a solid matcha stop with one caveat. Setting: Casual and cozy, but no AC indoors and very limited seating. Service: The line took about 20 mins on a Friday afternoon and the wait for the drink was roughly 15, but the service was kind! Drinks: The matcha itself was perfect, but all three of us found the fruit bottoms to be way too syrupy and sweet. We tried the mango, strawberry, and blueberry matcha duos ($8.50 ea + tax/tip), and I'd definitely prefer a regular matcha next time.
This place gets a hard pass from me. $10+ for a small cup filled more than halfway with gigantic ice cubes is absolutely ridiculous. I counted ~10 sips so doing the math, that comes out to ~$1 per sip. You decide if that's worth it or not. Taste wise, I found it way too sweet. Don't think there's an option to customize sweetness level either. I felt so gypped I literally waited for the ice cubes to melt so I can get an extra sip or two and finish off every last drop of matcha in the cup. Service was ok. The space is nicely decorated but very stuffy. Won't be back!
It was a half an hour wait, but it was worth it. The coconut matcha really hit the spot I love their matcha foam would come back!
Matcha latte is smooth, somewhat sweet but not overly or off putting at all. Good strong flavor and color. I will definitely come back. The staff was nice but it was definitely very busy. There is some seating but it's not a lot so I wouldn't bank on sitting inside for a while. Will definitely like to go back to try other matcha drinks as they have so many options to choose! Personally loved the signature duo
New matcha spot that serves both matcha and coffee. There was luckily no line right at opening but I'm sure that will change in the near future. Staff were sweet and drinks came out quick. Since drinks were on the sweeter side, I'd recommend them more as dessert drinks than every day drinks. Blueberry Matcha came with lots of fresh blueberries and the matcha was thick and velvety. The Cafe Duo was strongish and sweet and also on the thicker side. True to New York, tables were limited. Some outdoor tables would benefit given the amount of traffic that will come.
LA's famous matcha came to nyc! it's definitely one of the best matchas in the states, and I say this partly because I came at 9pm and there was no line at all... I've seen the lines in the daytime and would not recommend! anyway, the matcha cream is heavenly! we got the lavender matcha and the lavender kind of masked the matcha, so I'd love to come back to try a plain matcha

YUM, this place absolutely lives up to the hype. Rok was all the talk in LA, so was happy to see it in New York now. Like another reviewer mentioned, this was one of the best drinks I've ever had. The hojicha duo is so fire, got it twice during my 4-day visit to the city. Sweet, rich, and creamy if you're into that. I would absolutely recommend and come back! The drinks are very expensive (almost $10 with milk alt), and service is just ok. There's usually a line, but it's not bad at all and moves quick. The drinks come out pretty fast too. Limited seating and tables are usually full. read more
ROK Coffee & Tea had a long line out the door, but the matcha absolutely lived up to the hype. I got the mango matcha duo, which was super fruity, creamy, and still had a really rich matcha flavor. The balance was impressive because the fruit didn't overpower the matcha at all. My friend got the Matcha Duo, which was also delicious, and another friend tried the Earl Grey Duo, which had such a great flavor. The Duos are essentially their cream-topped lattes, and the extra creaminess makes them feel especially indulgent without being overly heavy. Overall, this was easily one of the best matcha drinks I've had. Rich, smooth, creamy, and full of actual matcha flavor. I'd absolutely wait in the line again! read more
This matcha was sooooo yummyyy! Call me a fake matcha connoisseur idc... I love flavored matchas!! One star off because it is a little too sweet and overpowers the matcha flavor, especially the strawberry one. The cookie butter tasted so YUMMY and the matcha was the perfect color. The place has some seating but gets busy. If you enjoy matchas that have a more nutty taste I wouldn't recommend this place as most of their drinks are flavored w/ additional syrups. Overall a solid place and I would come back! read more

This coffee and Matcha spot is well known in LA. I have heard wonderful things from social media about it. I am not a Matcha drinker myself, so I was glad to see that they had some coffee options. I luckily did not have to wait on a long line to get a coffee here. Though I am sure on weekends this spot is a madhouse. So if you want to avoid lines ( have a shorter one) go early and on a weekday. I got the Cafe Duo which is milk of your choice, double shot of espresso and coffee cream. They have some other coffee options i would be open to try next time I come by. The music was pretty loud here when I came and seemed nosey with people talking over the music. But other than that the barista was helpful in telling me what the drink was exactly and all. I will 100% be back. And if you are in the area I highly recommend stopping by. read more
Located in West Village, this new matcha spot comes from LA and offers a fun variety of different matcha and hojicha combinations. We got their strawberry matcha and their hojicha, and both were so good! Rich, creamy, and definitely on the sweeter side--a bit more of a dessert matcha rather than a morning cup, but not bad. read more

Such high quality matcha!! I tried the duo matcha (aka matcha with a matcha cream top) and it was so scrumptious. The line moves fairly quickly despite how long it looks. There's also some seating inside but I wouldn't recommend sitting in the cafe because it's so small and it felt like I was hovering over the people sitting while I was waiting for my drink. read more

Passed by this place by happenstance. They are known for their matcha, but we were feeling more coffee and got the hojicha latte and black sesame latte! Both were good, but I enjoyed the hojicha latte more! read more
The mango matcha duo was SO delicious!! The service is great. It was a little cold inside and the store is shaped a little weirdly - I thought there would be more seating - but the drink was so good, all my friends loved theirs too! read more

The infamous matcha spot from LA opened up in west village and I had to check it out. Came on a Wednesday around 3:30pm and there was no line although it was after a heavy downpour. There's limited seating but the drinks came out fast. The staff were nice and worked efficiently. I got the duo matcha and I was hesitant at first to see premade matcha mix but the cream is quite good and the matcha itself has the umami nutty flavor. The cream can get sweet as you mix it throughout the drink. I'll be back to try the hojicha and early grey read more

My new favorite matcha spot in New York! Just opened so definitely expect a line, we waited about 20min on a weekend afternoon. Ordered the earl grey matcha duo which had a strong early grey tea flavor with delicious matcha cream top. I've had the LA location before so knew it was going to be good, excited that Rok is finally in nyc! read more
