Best Matcha in NYC
The best matcha in NYC, verified open July 2026: 11 spots across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, from usucha tastings to soft serve.
- 1Greenpoint · 70 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222
The Japanese tea importer that supplies half the praised matcha programs in Brooklyn, with a Greenpoint flagship that grinds matcha from tencha on a stone mill in-house, one of the only cafes in the country doing so. Founders Zach and Minami Mangan just opened a second Greenpoint shop, Kettl Matcha Sen Mon Ten at 38 Norman Ave, the borough's first dedicated matcha senmonten.
When the cafes on the rest of this list want great matcha, they buy it from Kettl, which tells you exactly where the ceiling is.
Order Usucha at the tasting counter, then pastry chef Chika Hanyu's matcha parfait
Book the six-seat tasting counter on Resy for the usucha flights instead of ordering at the register.
