10 NYC Shops Built Around Matcha
Tea houses, matcha bars and dessert counters where matcha is the main menu, not an add-on: traditional service at Setsugekka and Cha-An in the East Village, Kettl's tea house in Greenpoint, and matcha soft serve at Nana's Green Tea and Matcha Cafe Maiko.
Date Night Matcha Spots
Matcha that keeps evening hours. Every café here is open until at least 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays, across Manhattan and Queens — so a matcha stop can be the plan for the night rather than something you rush before closing.
