Fifth Avenue Coffee Shop With London Espresso And Matcha
WatchHouse at 660 5th Ave bakes pastries in house and serves ceremonial matcha in a wood and plaster room.
☕ Espresso And Pastries On Fifth
At 660 5th Ave, WatchHouse 5th Ave. brings a London coffee name to Manhattan. Specialty espresso shares the menu with pastries baked in house, an easy pairing for a pause along the avenue. There is also ceremonial grade matcha served with a certificate of authenticity, giving the green tea order a detail all its own.
The room takes a minimalist approach with wood and plaster, metal accents and warm tones. You get a contemporary setting with warmth in the materials rather than a riot of decoration. A small outdoor seating area runs along the street, offering a seat beside the avenue instead of inside.
Doors open at half past six AM on weekdays and 8 AM on Saturday and Sunday, and the cafe stays open daily until half past six PM. The earlier weekday start suits a coffee before the day fills up, while the weekend opening leaves space for a slower beginning.
