Matchaful, 184 Prince St., New York, NY 10012; 217 Mulberry St., New York, NY 10012; 87 Christopher St., New York, NY 10014; and Whole Foods, 450 W. 33rd St., New York, NY 10001; Clean Market, 240 E. 54th St., New York, NY 10022; and Clean Market, 250 Vesey St., 2nd Fl., New York, NY 10281<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its cafes offering a moment of Zen amidst the bustle of New York City life, the thought and intention behind Matchaful\u2019s \u201cfarm-to-whisk\u201d matcha elevate this Japanese drink from a unique coffee alternative to an experience that will ensure you never look at a cup of tea the same again. There are several ways to enjoy their matcha, from the more classic Matcha Au Lait (matcha with water and plant-based milk) or Cold Foam Matcha (made with oat or almond cold foam and maple), to the more creative concoctions, such as the Fountain of Chai, made using house made chai, reishi, maple, vanilla, cinnamon, and oat milk. Matcha also makes its way into some of their smoothies, like the Emerald Sunrise Smoothie, which also includes almond milk, hemp seeds, cacao, cacao nibs, dates, and flaxseeds. To add more sustenance to teatime, Matchaful also offers a range of yummy pastries and snacks, including donuts (flavors include Matcha, Yuzu, and Chocolate Pistachio), a matcha brownie, parfaits like the Matcha Sunflower Butter Oats Parfait, and the Earth Glow Soft Serve (which includes cashews, oat milk, taro, and blue spirulina). For those who can\u2019t completely abandon the coffee habit, they also have a small selection of coffee drinks, including a mushroom cold brew and lattes and cappuccinos. With matcha offerings like these, though, even hard-core coffee drinkers may find themselves craving a green pick-me-up.<\/p>\n
