About Chalait UWS

Chalait UWS is a popular matcha and lunch spot in the Upper West Side, known for its healthy breakfast and lunch items. The tortilla egg wrap, farmhouse crunch, and salmon kyoto bowl are favorites among customers, while the Tuna Avocado Tartine and overnight oats also receive praise. The matcha yuzu provides a refreshing pick-me-up, and the matcha lattes, including the matcha strawberry latte, are well-loved for not being too heavy or sweet. The café offers gluten-free bread for sandwiches and a nice selection of vegetarian options. The homemade cashew almond milk is a nice touch, and the café has a cute atmosphere that is very clean. Friendly staff ensure quick service, keeping wait times minimal. Although it is a good place to work or chat, some customers find that the matcha can be underwhisked and grainy, which can be disappointing for a matcha-based café. The pastries are not particularly noteworthy, and the homemade chai can sometimes be too strong. Despite these issues, the café remains a favorite for many, thanks to its pleasant environment and friendly service. However, seating is limited, and the lack of a customer bathroom can be an inconvenience for those dining in.
