And Just Like That... Episode 3 "After several attempts to connect with Natasha (voicemails! Instagram DMs! Office ambushes!), Carrie accidentally walks in on Big's ex-wife in the bathroom of this Upper West Side cafe—spilling her hot drink everywhere and burning her hand in the process. That's not the only tea that's spilled that afternoon: Natasha reveals she was surprised to be named in Big's will and is not accepting the $1 million he left her."

Love the aesthetics! Turmeric maple matcha on HOUSEMADE almond cashew milk was average. Nice but nothing super special compared to ones I get in Australia! I got a mini spoon and some vegan good batch pumpkin loaf too for pumpkin spice season

The matcha latte was really good but was luke warm. The granola bowl was really good. There was fruit and granola on top of a matcha Greek yogurt. The chorizo burrito was also very flavorful. The service was ok. One lady was nice and helpful but the other was very abrupt and grumpy. The restaurant only seats about 16 people total.

This place has a lot of matcha options, would go again for trying others. But I ordered the Nourish matcha. Given the ingredients didn't have high hopes on the taste, it was okay, but felt somewhat healthy. But it is quite expensive, I paid $8 for that one drink alone.

One of my favorite matcha places in nyc. The home made cashew almond milk is also a nice touch. Food is excellent. Lots of vegetarian options. The staff is all so friendly and nice which makes this spot a local hangout. Cute atmosphere to hang out as well.

Nice, light atmosphère and a very friendly staff. The homemade chai was much too strong and spicy (at least to my taste). I also increasingly despise the cash register screens that FORCE us into leaving TIPS in places where there's NO TABLE SERVICE (WTF you might rightfully say ;-) Nonetheless a very nice place to sit down for a coffee or tea, maybe a muffin or scone.

Delicious matcha and very accommodating staff when I wanted to use my own mug. Tried their chocolate matcha which was absolutely delicious. The cafe gets lots of sunlight and it’s great for doing some work or catching up with friends!

A modern, wannabe innovative café rather on the expensive side, but with decent drinks. The homemade Chai was much too strong to my taste, and the pastries not particularly appetizing. But the staff was very friendly. I also encourage a "revolution" against the tap-to-pay machines that force you to leave a tip, when the staff stays behind the counter...SCAM!

My favorite matcha and lunch spot in the Upper West Side! The tortilla egg wrap and salmon kyoto bowl are 10/10. Just recently tried the matcha yuzu and it was the perfect refreshing pick me up.
