Setsugekka East Village is a small, cozy tea shop that offers a unique experience, allowing customers to watch their drinks being made at the counter. This shop specializes in a variety of matcha drinks, including the popular Seiho matcha, known for its smooth and velvety texture. Customers can choose from three types of matcha, which range from grassy and bitter to sweet and velvety. The hot matcha latte, made with oat milk, is a favored option, celebrated for its smooth and balanced flavor. Visitors can enjoy a traditional tea ceremony as part of the experience, which adds to its charm. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and often recommend different matcha types and pairings, making the visit both educational and enjoyable. While some find the matcha flavor to be mild, many appreciate the subtle taste and the care taken in preparation. The cozy atmosphere, along with the quick service, makes Setsugekka East Village a delightful spot for matcha lovers, though it can get crowded during rush hours. Despite some reviews mentioning that the drinks can be watered down, many consider it a must-visit spot in NYC for traditional matcha and a peaceful experience.
