On the corner of Broadway and 27th Street you will find Cha Cha Matcha, a flamingo-pink shop with neon signs, upbeat music, and dancing employees. According to Cha Cha Matcha’s website, matcha is a green powder derived from green tea leaves that contains caffeine, L-theanine, and antioxidants that support a healthy body and healthy mind. This place is a perfect stop for a matcha latte or a matcha-infused bakery item before heading to your meeting at the NYC Seminar and Conference Center. 

The pink decor and green plants lining the shop transport you to a tropical climate with a relaxed vibe. The employees are friendly and accommodating, occasionally dancing to upbeat pop music. People come here to relax and enjoy a drink, for casual business meetings, and to snap pictures of the trendy interior.

I ordered the matcha latte, which had a smooth, earthy flavor from the matcha, mixed with the subtle sweetness of the almond milk. As advertised, the latte made me feel “jitter-free, calm, focused energy.” It was just the right amount of caffeine to feel energized, but was not overbearing.

Because we are in the middle of a hot summer, I also tried the vanilla soft serve, which had a refreshing, vanilla bean flavor that was perfect to cool down on a hot summer day. Be sure to try the matcha-flavored soft serve, as well! To read more about ice cream spots in the Flatiron District, click here.
