La Colombe

For true coffee lovers who don’t go to a coffeeshop for free wifi and a laptop but for actually truly great coffee and expresso, La Colombe Torrefaction is the place for you.

Simple and minimalistic in design, La Colombe is a cafe for true caffeine addicts who appreciate the flavorful richness of good coffeebeans. With several locations in New York, my favorite one is in Noho where you can down an expresso shot before you hit Barrys Bootcamp across the street on Lafayette.

Almost always crowded with a queue, La Colombe is known for its cold brewed coffee where you can really savor the taste without being ripped off. They don’t believe in using any external sweeteners such as vanilla or caramel syrup as found commonly throughout places like Starbucks and CoffeeBean. Instead, they believe these take away from the raw goodness of their brews.

Must try- The Draft Latte- a mix of cold-pressed expresso and nutrient-dense milk – a taste of pure milky goodness with no sugar added.

Cha Cha Matcha

All matcha lovers can now find their fix at the cool Cha Cha Matcha on Broome Street with not only a matcha latte but also matcha frozen yoghurt.
