RHYTHM ZERO | WEST VILLAGE

There were no tables - it is very busy. Service is good and the coffees are good. It was not my favourite coffee but still really nice. Good to look around the Bandit shop with a coffee. There are some interesting looking matcha options with maple and salt and blueberries

Great spot! Love their matcha! Recently tried their blackberry cookie matcha and it was just delicious. The matcha was so smooth and not too bitter, also very potent and plentiful. The blackberry syrup is in a league of its own- so thick and syrupy without being overpoweringly sweet, and the cookie flavor comes through perfectly without taking over the matcha or the blackberry. It all works together so nice. You can really tell that the staff puts a lot of care into what they do. You see them measuring and whisking and making sure the drink is perfect. It’s nice to see how much pride they take in their work! Can’t wait to try more of what they have to offer. Their merch is also super fun- had me thinking I wanted to buy one of their reusable cups!

I went to Rhythm Zero yesterday in the dead of winter but it was 100% worth it. The cafe itself had a very cool atmosphere and a clothing store next to it. As for my drink, I ordered the pear brown sugar latte with oat milk and it was so delicious. The latte art is a nice touch as well. I’m definitely going to be making another visit soon! 🍐☕️

A++ coffee—ice Cortado with oat milk as usual. The texture of espresso is just right to mix well with the heavy density milk. Their Iced Cortado still have rich body of aroma of a medium roast. Enough acidity to carry over the high notes of the roast. The service was surprisingly great considering that they are nestled in this fancy part of the town. The staff was fast and accommodating. Loved the vibe inside—it felt like a gallery. The seating is limited but the overall experience was great despite the place being crowded with customers.

Loved the pear brown sugar latte!! It was perfectly sweet and so delicious. There was a small line for Sunday afternoon but it moved quickly. I would definitely come back and order this again I loved it. The employees were really friendly too. There was a pop up happening at the same time so it was a little cramped but I just grabbed my drink to go

been meaning to try out this cafe and im SO glad i finally did!!! there is pretty minimal seating (only 3 little tables and 1 bigger one for no laptop use only) and also no outlets. the vibes are AMAZING though and the coffee was absolutely divine. I got the pear and brown sugar latte and it was insane. It was the smoothest, yummiest, and just the right amount of sweetness. Matcha here is high quality too! What a cool space also attached to a store! Definitely check it out if you’re in the west village.

took my mom here this past weekend! she’s not the biggest fan of matcha but when we tried the black berry pie matcha, she changed her tune! it was so delicious and the vibe was everything. also yummy croissants!!

I must rave about this Coconut Americano!! Firstly, do you see how beautiful the drink looks!? And the espresso is light and airy, almost like it's whipped! I'm not sure how they achieved that consistency, but this was my first time having anything like this. Be sure to thoroughly stir the drink before drinking. It's not sweet whatsoever and the coconut water gives the drink a delicious taste. I think it also makes the drink feel less "heavy", as there's no milk, which is perfect for those who are lactose. If you're a fan of coconut water and coffee, you def have to try this drink!

I have been to the Brooklyn location but since I go to school in the area, I wanted to see it out I didn't know it was attached to a running apparel store (shares doors, has different awnings though in the same style). The noise from the store doesn't impact the cafe in my opinion so you can still chill. It was lunch time so it was a bit full. There were tables that had no laptop signs so it was mostly people reading books or having conversations. There was a limited number of pastries available as opposed to the other store. But I was there for the matcha. On the special offerings they had a blackberry pie ish matcha. It was one of the best drinks I had. The matcha was properly smooth and not clumpy of course but it was the balance of the earthy matcha with juicy blackberry that makes me want to go back. I don't even eat blackberries like that to be honest. Though I personally wouldn't stay in the cafe, I would gladly get a drink to go.

I was craving coconut and coffee so I decided why not try something quick since I was working that day nearby. Service was great, very helpful and they provide information what they didn't have in the menu. Ambiance was nice, very tight space though so not enough seating which is okay if you're just gonna grab a coffee or match on the go. I had ordered a coco americana & I loved it. Coconut water tasted amazing & not too sweet which I loved. Once the coffee starts making it's end to the cup, it taste very strong but you can still taste the mixture of both. Over-all, I did like the place. Would recommend those who are around so-ho and want something different.

I will be the first to admit that I didn't get the hype behind Rhythm Zero-I saw it so much on social media yet had never stepped in to at least read the menu or give them a chance. Safe to say-I get it. I ordered an iced maple sea salt oat latte and wow I truly can't wait to go back and order this drink-it's literally Fall in a cup! It is quite popular even on a weekday early in the week and the seating area can get crowded, but all in all it's chef's kiss and so worth! Will definitely encourage people to stop by and support, especially given what they've been through thanks to weird NYC health department regulations. Perfectly located in the village but also blocks away from WSH!!

Loved the pear brown sugar latte!! It was perfectly sweet and so delicious. There was a small line for Sunday afternoon but it moved quickly. I would definitely come back and order this again I loved it. The employees were really friendly too. There was a pop up happening at the same time so it was a little cramped but I just grabbed my drink to go

I was pleasantly surprised by the blueberry matcha. As someone who doesn't like to eat anything blueberry, this one was not overpowering, sour, and no after taste. The balance was perfect and same for the Yuzu Matcha. There was a line going out the door when I went. However, the service was quick and kind. Seating is limited at this location, but we got lucky and secured a spot! This would be a nice pick me up place for matcha.

I was in the mood for a matcha latte and this was the closest spot. I was a bit intrigued by the blueberry matcha latte so that's what I ended up ordering. After trying it, I think I'll stick to strawberry matcha lattes instead. The cashier was the only person there so they were also the one making the drinks but the wait wasn't too bad at all.

Ordered: Iced Blueberry Matcha (~$8) Aya's take: Rhythm Zero has a small yet mighty menu! This is my second time here but first time at this location. The line seems long but moved quickly. The Iced Blueberry Matcha is super popular and I can totally understand why. The matcha is earthy and slightly grassy while blueberry has sweet and tart elements. Combined together, it's crisp, cool, and creamy. It was just the drink I needed on a hot summer day that was both indulgent and energizing. Worth a try!

I must rave about this Coconut Americano!! Firstly, do you see how beautiful the drink looks!? And the espresso is light and airy, almost like it's whipped! I'm not sure how they achieved that consistency, but this was my first time having anything like this. Before taking your first sip, be sure to thoroughly stir the drink. Upon your first sip, it'll be a refreshing experience. It's not sweet whatsoever and the coconut water gives the drink a delicious taste. I think it also makes the drink feel less "heavy", as there's no milk, which is perfect for those who are lactose. If you're a fan of coconut water and coffee, you def have to try this drink!

The drinks are fantastic but the service is so slow. The line wasnt that long, maybe 5-7 people in front of me but it took like 25-30 minutes. Very few tables to sit. Recommend the yuzu matcha and blueberry matcha.

Pretty feral on the weekends but really enjoy this place. Signature pear brown sugar latte and the blueberry matcha are both go-tos. Matcha is always bright green and made properly. Space is tight but they have multiple seating nooks throughout. Service is efficient. Definitely recommend!

I enjoyed my ice blue berry matcha here! Matcha was fresh. The location does get a bit crowded and there isn't too much seating, but the matcha was pretty solid and great!

Visited my friend who introduced me to matcha years ago. Seeing a lot of new hype around matcha and some places don't do it justice... however, Rhythm Zero really knows how to provide a delicious matcha beverage. I'm more into sweeter matcha lattes (aficionados don't come for me) & really enjoyed the blueberry puree matcha latte with oat milk. The matcha was still very decadent and not too overwhelming. I would like to see a little more matcha to milk ratio but I was already on my second matcha of the day so I had no complaints! This on a warm summer day really helped me get through all the NYC walking. The baristas were super nice and had a nice candle from the candle shop next door!

Finally made my way to the West Village to check out Rhythm Zero's viral coconut americano drink. As someone who likes her coffee with milk, I was initially nervous about how it would come together. After giving it a good mix, I loved how the coffee and coconut water came together. Coffee flavors were prominent and did not feel diluted nor too rich. I appreciated how it wasn't too sweet. While I'm a huge matcha fan, they feature Kettl's matcha so I felt like the coffee based drinks would be more unique on my first visit. The blueberry matcha sure did look good tho! I liked the chic, minimalistic vibes and decor. Staff were not friendly but fine. Some seating available but they did not allow computers/laptops on the weekends. I see the hype and I'm here for it!

The blueberry tastes so fresh and not artificial. Matcha isn't super strong, which is perfect for me. The wait wasn't terrible and I'd absolutely come back if I was ever in the area.

I got the seasonal yuzu matcha fizz which was so refreshing and the perfect treat for a summer day in nyc. Didn't expect to find it tucked away in a pop up vibe but definitely a hidden gem.

Stopped by Rhythm Zero on a weekend morning and ordered a matcha tea, which was really good, smooth and well-balanced. However, it took about 15 minutes to get my drink. The barista was working alone, which made things understandably slow. It's a nice spot with quality drinks, but they definitely need more staff during busy hours to keep things moving.

Love the aesthetics of this place - it's connected to a Bandit store! It can get pretty packed on the weekends, but after finding a place to sit their pastry and drinks were enjoyed in their space! Highly recommend their latte and croissant.

Nestled inside of a joint store with Bandit Running. Super quiet but not on a weird level. Not a ton of seating but extremely modern inside. The Cappucino had a good balance of milk to espresso with the espresso flavor shining through. The Coconut Americana is something I would 100% get addicted to. The mix of the coconut water with the frothed espresso was an amazing combo. You still got that slight sweetness from the natural sugar in the coconut while being extremely light feeling in the stomach. A perfect summer/spring drink! When in the area it might be a must for me to get!

Rhythm Zero is a growing chain of matcha cafés in NYC, with this particular location set in the West Village. The service experience was a bit hectic. The line was long, seating was minimal, and the staff seemed overwhelmed by the volume of orders. There also wasn't an organized way to announce drinks, so ours ended up sitting out for a while before we realized it was ready. We ordered the blueberry matcha, which was decent overall. The flavor wasn't too watery and the matcha base came through, though the blueberry syrup leaned a bit too sweet. For the price, it was fair and enjoyable, but the overall experience left something to be desired.

didn't love this place. the line was quite long and the space was quite small. my friend and i both ordered the same item (blueberry matcha) but the amount of blueberry and amount of matcha was inconsistent across drinks. mine did not have enough matcha (could barely taste it) or blueberry, and also had too much ice (despite asking for less ice). i did love the blueberry flavor though. the matcha also had a few powdery chunks in it.

Wow. What a all-around wonderful experience. Sam helped us at the front and couldn't have been nicer. I had a lot of modifications and questions since I have never been and he was so sweet to answer them all and give such great recommendations between the group. We got an ice blueberry Matcha, which was very delicious. The blueberry wasn't too overpowering where you could still get a taste which sometimes I feel like with fruit flavor added, and you don't taste much at all so I really enjoyed that The regular iced Matcha latte was also delicious. The coconut Americano was fantastic. It was coconut water with an espresso shot on top, but they frost the espresso shop and it was phenomenal. The flavor and texture of that was incredible! They have limited seating inside, but we got lucky and got a table for sure we'll be back!!

This place is a store for clothes, art and highly rated matcha. Ordered a matcha yuzu. Their vibe and decor is top notch, you feel as if you are in someones home. Service is pretty good too. The drink was amazing and I would try their different locations as well.

I got a cold brew here and was very disappointed. It tasted very watered down and flavorless. We saw most people ordering matcha which looked better so I think we just chose poorly.

solid matcha lattes and friendly staff! there is a little bit of seating, but the store does get quite busy over the weekend (also no laptops allowed)

Three stars for the vibes and coffee. Great spot to hang out, chat and do some work. The matcha was really weak. It was basically blueberry milk with a hint of matcha and the cardamom matcha was just cardamom milk and a hint of matcha.

Beautiful interior design. Small café located inside the Bandit running store. Not a large menu, but everything looked really good and as a matcha enthusiast I can confirm that the blueberry matcha latte really hit. Strong taste of both natural blueberry + matcha, which is not something that can be said for all fruity matchas. I thought it was hilarious that you're not supposed to use your phones/computers while sitting at their tables, so I guess keep that in mind--this is definitely not a place to do work. I read a book for a while here but it also didn't really feel like a place to sit and lounge around despite the nice interior (maybe it was too nice to feel comforting lol). A grab and go spot, but still really good and would definitely recommend to matcha lovers.

Thanks to bri j for their tone deaf reply. If you work in the coffee biz and don't know what a venti is, you're in the wrong biz. It was an obvious comparison to Starbucks size and pricing of which you are overpriced, but if I have to explain it... Coffee shops in low traffic areas do close early, but the famous Bleecker St destination isn't one of those, and do you close the attached clothing store too? Coffee and clothes? Perhaps stick to doing one of those well and affordable, rather than wasting our time defending your misguided position on a platform for free speech for consumers to share their reviews with like-minded customers. Your petty reply just took you from two stars to ironically ZERO.

The pear brown sugar latte lives up to the hype. A word of advice that this cafe has a no laptop policy so not at all a place for coworking. It was very busy this Saturday afternoon so finding a place to sit is a matter of a luck.

An an LA matcha girly, I've haven't found matcha in NY that is as good as LA however this matcha was pretty solid! Got the blueberry matcha and I thought it was very unique and the matcha flavor was great. I'd get it again! Love the aesthetic inside as well, reminds me of coffee shops back in LA.

If you're looking for a coffee shop w cool aesthetic, this is the place to be! It shares a space with another brand but the coffee was great nonetheless! We got the matcha, iced americano and delicious chocolate chip cookie. Will definitely bring my friends from out of town here!

Very cozy vibes inside, but no laptop policy! I got the pear brown sugar latte, iced, with almond milk and it was actually quite refreshing. Tasted light, and the coffee flavor was not too strong; definitely a bit more milky. Great to try but the latte definitely did not blow me away.

I absolutely love this cafe!!! It's very minimalistic and clean, so it's perfect to get aesthetic cafe pictures. I heard about their coconut americano and I was fascinated by how it came out. Surprisingly, it tasted actually pretty good. For some reason, it took a while for the drinks to come out (maybe around ~15-20 minutes) and the workers felt bad, so they gifted us a truffle brownie for free! We already ordered one, so now we had two haha. By the way, the brownie was absolutely delicious. Loved the hospitality and everything about this place. I'll be back again! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5

I went to the Brooklyn location and absolutely loved the Pear Brown Sugar Matcha Latte. If you're looking for a matcha latte in NYC with the creaminess of the ones in Japan, that's your place. I was interested in trying the espresso/coffee drinks here as well but was disappointed when the Pear Brown Sugar Latte didn't stand out to me as much as the matcha latte. Still, the latte was good. The space wasn't as cozy as the Brooklyn location and all its gallery-like nice decor, but it wasn't too busy mid-day on a weekday and I saw someone working on their laptop.

Attached to a charming little running shop in the West Village, this coffee spot is a hidden gem. Laid-back vibes, great coffee, and the perfect location to grab a drink and wander the neighborhood. Highly recommend the iced coconut espresso (pretty sure it's called the Coco-Americana!)--smooth, refreshing, and just the right hint of coconut.

Was super excited to try this cute cafe as Don rated this place a 8.9, but was sadly disappointed. From the bland and milky matcha to the rude cashier, Rhythm Zero did not impress me at all. The interior design and layout was clean and unique, and the seating as well, but it came down to the coffee. We got the vanilla latte and matcha latte. The vanilla was good but not something I would get out of my way to get again. The matcha was made with too much milk and the powder itself had no strong flavor of matcha. I hope to give this place a second chance but at their other location...

I'm a fan. It's a very solid coffee and while there's a long line on weekend mornings it moves quickly! recommend, will return

Exselent Espresso and Matcha Drinks. Fast and friendly service.(considering its one of the busiest shops in the area) The Ambiance and decor are really spot on.
