Enjoyed the black camo latte with oat milk a lot. Would definitely recommend trying if you’re a hojicha lover.

Sawada Coffee remains a more ulterior establishment tucked away in some corner, but without that, it actually guarantees an experience in the world of coffee not quite the same as any other casual minimalist coffee shops. It is intimate and low-key with a garage punk-like atmosphere inside that feels like a fresh breath of air. The baristas are well-informed and affable, still hustling to serve up delightful drinks with a smile. They serve intriguing concoctions on their menu, like the military latte-a delectable combination of matcha and espresso nowhere else to be found. Another standout is the black camo latte, with hojicha, espresso, and steamed oat milk combined in a heavenly mixture. Both drinks impress with their latte art, even in take-away cups, and are full of flavor. It also adds neatness to the serving in a shot glass for the serving of the espresso shot. Seating is ample and cozy; a perfect setting to enjoy a cup of coffee while snacking on their delicious cookies. For anyone around the area, this is definitely a place to be if you want to taste an excellent cup of coffee with a twist in setting.

Got the black camo latte and the flavors were very muted. Tasted like a regular latte heavy with milk

next to a somewhat hidden restaurant in canal st area. This place offers strong drip, strong macchiato and great quality of service. Would recommend!

Creative drinks and looks identical to the Chicago location. Prices can be pretty high for certain drinks.

Tried the iced military latte and hot camo latte. Stick with hot latte. Iced version hardly had any flavor and the visual was very unappealing. Camo was better if you are looking for something different. But if you are looking for more traditional flavor then I’d stay away from these two drinks.

Sawada coffee has a soft spot for me because I’ve been to the Chicago location a few times before and loved it. This NY one is identical and it’s even located inside of an Au Cheval restaurant (might be hard to find at first but walk inside the restaurant).
Coffee wise I really enjoyed the strong drip. The flavors are incredible and it does remind me very much of the double shot strong coffees in Tokyo.
My only complaint was the baristas were a bit slow the day I came and of course the pricing is a bit high so 4/5 instead of 5/5 but worth a try for sure!
loved their black camo latte (hojicha and espresso)!

We tried the Military Latte and the Black Camo Latte. I expected a stronger kick from a matcha-espresso combo. The flavors were quite muted, tasting more like milk than anything else. They also had a strange chalky aftertaste. I wouldn’t order these again.
They were beautifully presented though.
