Coffee & matcha · $$
A minimalist café on Avenue 59 with sheet-metal walls, plants and giant retractable wooden windows that open the room to the street. The espresso and matcha are meticulously sourced; get the fizzy yuzu matcha or an orange cold brew and take a spot on the sunny windowsill.
Counter orderOrder at the counter; drinks only, no food menu. Seating fills up on weekends, so come early. Street parking a short walk from York.
