Celeb-Endorsed Cha Cha Matcha Chain Under Fire for Allegations of Problematic Workplace Behavior - Eater NY

"More than half a dozen staffers at the New York City-based green tea chain Cha Cha Matcha — best known for its flashy, millennial pink branding and celebrity clientele, including many of the Kardashians — allege that the company’s co-founders have engaged in problematic company practices related to hiring, promotional giveaways, and the payment of their employees." - Luke Fortney

Decent matcha. The draft matcha late was the best, mixed with vanilla, agave syrup, oat and coconut milk. My favorite was the Purple Drink with ube and lavender: came nicely sweetened and didn’t need any sweetener. Definitely not the best matcha I’ve ever had, but very solid especially if you’re in the area.

Tried this cute matcha spot while visiting NYC. I ordered the iced matcha chai latte with cold foam on top. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but I’d definitely get it again. Overall, a really cute place if you want aesthetic photos of your drink or the space.🍵

Cute matcha chain on the InKind app. Most of their drinks position as matcha with something else. I got the yuzu matcha lemonade. The syrup is premade so you can’t adjust sweetness without adjusting overall flavor but I suppose it was appropriately sweet and nice and cold.

The strawberry matcha looked better in pictures. It’s only strawberry purée with matcha (good color but not so creamy). If you know your matcha, this isn’t super special. It’s not bad matcha, but it’s standard good matcha. They forgot to make our drinks so we had to wait a while and request them to be prepared.

The matcha that you make at home will probably better than this one. I tried Cha Cha Matcha in LA and it was good. But the one here, dont bother to even go. I ordered matcha latte with almond milk and it was wayyy more almond milk than the matcha itself, can barely taste it. And plus the two underage young female cashier will give you attitude as well. Disappointed.

Used to be my favorite matcha spot until around 3 months ago they changed the sizes. The ratios are off and the prices swapped so now youre basically paying the “one size” old price, for the small new size. The large is nearly $2 more and the matcha ratio is off. The drink tastes like milk and not any matcha. So disappointing the quality has gone so far down. Would NOT recommend cha-cha anymore :( such a bummer. Staff is so kind tho - not their fault the rebrand and reprice sucks !

The store was cute, it wasn’t too crowded when I went so we got seats. I had high expectations for the matcha, but it came kind of undissolved. It tastes good still but didn’t get the best pictures as you can see.

Fine matcha but I’ve been through a higher bar. Experience with baristas was not the best. Limited seats. Won’t come back unfortunately
