404 Coffee
About
Reviewers consistently mention the standout quality of matcha at 404 Coffee. Many note that their mango matcha or dirty matcha latte is highly recommended, often surpassing other local favorites like Starbucks. The Matcha Cream Latte ($5.95-$6.25) stands out for its creamy texture and sweetness, while the Korean Einspanner Latte offers a nutty flavor. However, some find the matcha can be chunky and too sweet at times. Guests appreciate the variety of matcha options but point out that certain items might sell out during peak hours. The shop closes early around 3:00 pm, which limits late-day visits. Additionally, several flag the drinks as being on the smaller side for their price. The atmosphere is generally pleasant during off-peak times with no wait, though it can get busy later in the day.
