Nitro Bar's iced seasonal matchas are such a summer staple for me. However, I have a few hopes for The Nitro Bar. My first hope is that the ordering process could be improved. The place is so popular, but the wait is just too long in the hot summer sun. It would be great if they could create a pre-ordering system or perhaps a bigger storefront to churn out their food and drink orders.
Also, when you are finally able to get your drinks and food, there also isn't enough seating inside and there are only two tables outside.
Having said all that, this place is really amazing. It's staffed very well in that multiple people are taking orders, making drinks behind the bar, and making food in the kitchen. I've never seen that kind of staffing in a coffee shop, and applaud the owner(s) for making sure there is enough personnel working!
As for drinks, I loved their caramelized banana matcha but their caramelized banana latte is superb to all lattes I've ever had. For food, the pizza bagel is famous but a tad too salty for me. Their matcha cookie and vegan tahini chocolate chip cookie are great to munch on, and are big and chewy. I know some people love a thin crispy cookie, but I prefer a chewiness to my cookies. I've also tried their pesto mozz tomato toast and that was surprisingly yummy - for $11.50, the portion size could be bigger, but it's wonderfully done.
