Can’t beat the price, $2.50 for most of the items minus some breakfast sandwiches. You need to download the app and order from there for the $2.50 deal, otherwise its like a dollar more to order at the counter. The app can use some updates since you need to manually enter card info and add money vs. just using ApplePay. Too longer to set up than get the order. Will come back, the food/drinks were great overall.Cold Brew: 3/5Cortado: 5/5Chocolate Croissant: 2/5Everything Cream Cheese Croissant: 5/5Egg and vegetarian sausage on a whole grain artisan roll: 5/5

It was my first time at Matto. I had some questions before placing my order (about customizations, flavor shots, sugar content) and the person there was very polite and helpful (9/29 around 3:40pm). Also, the Espresso over ice that she made (with soy milk, 2 extra shots espresso, and 1 French vanilla flavor shot) came out better than the equivalent (and more expensive) version I normally get from Sbux. 10/10, def recommend!

Im putting a review here only to refer to the kindness of the barista who gave me the latte despite not having enough change for it. Kudos to her kindness :)Also the place has a cheap coffee. 3.70 for latte. No seating area inside the shop

Small cafe where everything is only $2.50! Don’t expect top quality coffee, but solid $2.50 coffee. They have a great app modeled after the Starbucks app where you get a discount for placing an order online. Ordered a chai and oat latte and enjoyed them both!

They make delicious, current, in step with the times, complex beverages AND manage to stay affordable. Matto is living proof that it is possible to serve New Yorkers these beverages and not gyp them off. So for that Matto gets a resounding 5 stars.The banana date latte is really delicious. It’s all the flavors and textures we love mixed into a beverage and with a lovely subtle hint of coffee. It’s really nice. What I like to do in the summer is order my banana date latte here and then go sit on the terrace across the street @ Plantshed 😊😊🧋🌱

Cute and cheap little spot. Free two lattes on the first order from the app ( must enter credit card info for it).

I recently stopped by this spot to indulge in a piece of pumpkin cheesecake, and it was a delightful experience. The pastry prices are already great, and the additional dollar savings when ordering in advance on the app is a nice touch.The pumpkin cheesecake exceeded expectations in taste, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive ambiance. While its a small establishment, its an ideal spot for enjoying a coffee paired with a pastry, especially if youre taking a stroll down Central Park.

So I tried really hard to install the app but it proved very difficult. The staff could have helped with that as I was the only guy in the shop. Anyway the banana and date latte was amazing. Definitely want to try more of their menu. 4.36 for such a fantastic drink was well worth it.

This is a quick coffee takeout chain spread across the city, offering everything under $5, which is rare in New York. The quality of their coffee/espresso was better when they first opened last year, but it seems to have declined since. Fortunately, the food still tastes great. I have tried almost everything on their menu and love the banana bread the most. Some locations offer a seat or two, but the focus is on fast service rather than dine-in. I appreciate them for making barista-made coffee and tasty food options accessible to New Yorkers, and I hope they continue to grow their business and expand the menu.

Everything in the store is $2. Everything, and all sizes. I get a large black eye every time for $2. The espresso is ground fresh for every pull. This is my go to every morning. Not to say anything bad about Starbucks or Joe down the block, but why would I pay $4.50 for a drink thats $2?

Review 11 (2023-10-26 - Rating: 5)
Like everyone else said you just can’t beat the $2.50 price on the app (& $3.50 in person) for coffee in the city. Chai and brookie was pretty damn good!!

Review 12 (2022-02-11 - Rating: 5)
One of the best coffee shops in the neighborhood. I do miss the days of everything for $2.00, but $2.50 isn’t too bad.- The coffee is consistent.- The app makes ordering easier.- the croissants and pistachio muffins are great too.- In the winter, the Italian hot chocolate is the best around.

Review 13 (2019-10-09 - Rating: 5)
This place is kind of easy to miss unless you’re walking on Columbus ave. I’m a fan of their lattes but I’ve had their coffee and it was fresh and had some nice caffeine going on. They offer breakfast sandwiches, muffins and some of them are vegan. There’s always some music playing and the playlist is nice. They keep some samples as bait on the counter also. The staff is attractive, attentive and knowledgeable baristas. Being awesome like this comes with a price: Everything is 2 dollars. Everything. For the Upper West Side it’s the breakfast place to be if you’re on a budget like me but don’t want to sacrifice quality. #uws #upperwestside #columbusave #sankofatafari #kingofcoffeenyc #coffeenyc #coffee #veganstuff

Everything here costs $2.50 ($2.00 if you use the app to order) which is a super good deal if you want a quick bite or some coffee while in the area. Most of the food items remind of what you would get at Starbucks and have a similar taste.The location is super small inside but they have a small table outside if you want to sit and eat.

Review 15 (2023-08-19 - Rating: 5)
I stopped here quickly for an Cold Brew Iced Coffee, which was highly refreshing and tasted great. A little hole in the wall shop worthy of neighborhood support!

Review 16 (2020-01-19 - Rating: 5)
Excellent coffee and pastries, any size for $2! You cannot beat it. Forget the starbucks and cafes nearby, this is a must for people looking for a quick pick me up on the go!

Review 17 (2022-06-27 - Rating: 5)
Matto, where everything is $2.50! I was skeptical at first, but after that first sip of coffee and a bite of the muffin, I was hooked!!! Best deal in the city. Good fresh coffee, latte and cappuccino. No extra charge for flavor shots or almond milk. Service is excellent at this location. Order on the app and it will be ready for pickup when you walk in. Multiple locations around the city and all are just as good as this one.

Very good coffee ☕️ nice selection of food. No seating but right in front of bus stop. And not overpriced

Review 19 (2021-07-18 - Rating: 4)
Great value for a coffee. Every drink is just under $3 for a cup and its not bad. Probably give just the coffee a 3.5 - 4.

Nice little coffee spot.

Review 21 (2019-03-27 - Rating: 5)
Everything is 2.00 and honestly the best 2.00 Iced Coffee. My fav is the Iced Caramel Latte, but I ask for mines to be made with half and half, its so dreamy... enjoy

The drinks are so much more enjoyable to drink compared to Starbucks. Great quality coffee. The Chai Latte is supper delicious. Not many breakfast options. Coffee experience A+

Great stop for good quality baked goods and beverages. Cashiers here are very efficient & friendly. Neighborly vibe, despite being a chain.

Review 43 (2019-07-22 - Rating: 5)
So happy I found this place. Thanks to the reviews I found on google! I’m coffee lover and I always try to find cool little coffee shops. This one did not disappoint. EVERYTHING is $2, so you can’t go wrong. The coffee is actually VERY good. I had the ice coffee. Regardless of the size, it’s 2 bucks. The pastries are also really delicious.That particular location only has two stools inside to sit so don’t expect to hang out there. It’s just a prefect spot to stop by on the go and grab what you want and keep on going. The staff is friendly and so accommodating. That’s my new favourite coffee shop in NYC.

Review 44 (2021-08-29 - Rating: 4)
Love that everything is 2 dollars there, very fairly priced; though I would give 5 stars if the chai wasn’t too sweet, a little too spicy for my taste. If it’s just normal coffee is good to purchase, Banana bread is also amazing, would definitely recommend you to stop by for a quick coffee

Review 45 (2021-07-29 - Rating: 5)
Everything, literally every beverage is $2.50, and for that price (this is an important condition), the quality is remarkably good. Its not indie coffee-shop level quality, but youre not paying for it (so think Starbucks, more or less.. but for 50% off). Youll have the feeling that wait-- theres go to be a catch for 2.50! But there isnt. Its good coffee, friendly service, and pretty good pastries. Whatever is going on, I dont care-- lets support them to make sure we never lose them.

I just recently discovered Espresso Matto. Sometimes, its the little things that count the most. Definitely, its a hidden treasure. Great taste and service at a decent price. Remember to tip the staff.

The best service I’ve ever have. Very nice place . Coffee just 2$. Asian girl made for me nice latte. Thanks. See u soon...

Review 52 (2018-07-20 - Rating: 5)
Everything in the cafe is $2! What Matto lacks in seating, ambiance, whatever - it makes up for in tasty pastries and coffee at a rare price on the Upper West Side.Since randomly trying this place a couple months ago, Ive been back once a week and now prefer it to any of the other little pastry/coffee shops in the area.The magic superfood bar is AMAZING! Burekas are really good too. And for $2? Try something new :)
