Hi, I'm a tourist. I'm also one of those "Instagram people." I like for my food to look and taste good, what can I say? And why not when you're on vacation?
So, Cha Cha Matcha's IG was sent to me by a friend who knew I was heading to New York City. I was thrilled when I saw this cute shop was located just a few blocks from my AirBnb. If I had liked it more I probably would have gone daily since it was so close. The actual experience was just a-okay and not something I got excited thinking about the next day when I was looking for my caffeine fix.
I got the matcha latte with oat milk planning to fall in love with the staple menu item and return the next few days for more. I just wasn't impressed. It was fine, but I've had better elsewhere. I'll try several things for the picture element at least once, but I've got to love it when it comes to the second time. This wasn't worth a second visit for me. The customer service wasn't anything worth remembering. My drink was smaller than I was expecting it to be for the price. However, overall prices were still what I was expecting in the city. I did like that they have canned drinks too. I almost grabbed one for the train back home at the end of my trip, but I didn't get excited about going back, so I didn't.
If you're in the area, need a pick me up, and some color for the 'gram- swing by Cha Cha Matcha! I wouldn't suggest going too far out of your way for the experience though, especially if you aren't a picture person and don't care about how adorable the shop is.
