JENKI

JENKI is basically the temple of matcha for the hipster crowd. You walk in, and the smell of matcha hits you like a gentle hug. Ilinca Cristea swears this place does the best matcha latte in the city, with flavors that sing and a sea salt vanilla twist that will have you questioning your life choices. Sounds dreamy, right?

But not everyone is sipping the green tea Kool-Aid. Some folks found their drinks a tad weak, calling it watery and bland. Even Anna B had a moment of despair when she encountered a latte that tasted like the ocean had a bad day. Sure, the staff are sweet, but does that make up for a drink that tastes like regret? If you’re a matcha lover, it’s worth a shot, just be prepared for the occasional disappointment.
