Whisked Matcha Meets Floral Pour-Overs
Taste floral and fruity notes beside smooth, earthy cups, with hot oat milk options at one stop and a sweet-savory Orange Miso special at another. Tiny interiors suit quick visits, while one counter commonly brings longer waits.
Tea and Coffee Counters
Focused Counter Pour
At Maru Coffee, the bar serves high-elevation specialty coffee, including pourovers with floral and fruity notes, vanilla bean lattes, and iced breve macchiatos. Pastries come from Frenchette. The gallery-like room has tiny tables and no customer Wi-Fi, with limited seating for a brief stop. Daily hours run from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM at 320 Wythe Avenue in Brooklyn. Most drinks fall in the five to seven dollars range.
Chasen Whisk, Small Room
Matcha 108 uses a traditional chasen to turn Uji matcha into hot lattes with a smooth, earthy profile. The oat milk option is served hot and fresh. This Manhattan cafe has about 6 to 10 seats around a bench and a long table, keeping the visit quiet and slow-paced. Hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM weekdays and until 5:30 PM weekends at 108 Madison St. A 12-ounce matcha latte costs 6.95 dollars.
Limited-Seating Refreshment Stop
Five grams of first-harvest ceremonial Uji matcha go into each drink at Matcha 116, where cold beverages lead the menu. The Orange Miso Matcha Latte brings a sweet-savory profile, with two seasonal specials rotating alongside it. The room is cramped, and waits are frequently long. The few bar stools stay crowded with customers waiting for orders. Drinks cost 8.25 to 8.75 dollars. Daily hours are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM at 116 MacDougal Street.
