Matchbox Coffee Shop

I could not remember the name, nor exact location, of the coffee shop that I visited back in the summer of 2020 when actually looking for another business nearby. It had the best iced chai ever — brewed in house from a mixture of a few different teas. I finally found it online and had to write a review. If you love chai — this is the place to go.

Would rate higher. LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this place. A very comfortable atmosphere. There are a bit of regulars that come and seem to have very good relationship with the baristas that actually care about how they are doing. You don't get that a lot anywhere or maybe I have been going to the wrong places. I will be coming back!

This tiny place packs a big punch of caffeine. Kindly and congenial barristas handle crowds of folks with ease, and they take the time to get to know know their customer's names when times are slower. Great coffee, great service, yummy bakery offerings, and reasonably priced... I stop by more than I maybe ought to!

Finally made it to Matchbox. Cute little coffee shop in NE. There is one table you could sit at otherwise it mostly seems like a pick up and go sip it somewhere else type of place. There were some baked goods for sale as well. Lots of good drink options. I tried the “best cold press in town” and it was very smooth and did not disappoint. Excited to go back and try the homemade chai. They DO accept credit cards now. Give them a try!

Great drinks and great service every time. Matchbox is a bit further from me now that I’ve moved so I don’t get there too often anymore. Went in at 10:45a on a Tuesday in January 2022 (COVID-19 Omicron Variant times) and no one else there. The barista was very friendly and efficient. I ordered an almond latte & vanilla latte for a friend. FYI, my total for two 12oz lattes with flavors, one with 2 shots was $9 before tip. Both were delicious, affordable, and served in compostable cups. I love the atmosphere there. So many things to look at while you wait for your drink to be made. A great reminder to skip the convenience of Starbucks and get higher quality for the same price (or less) and keep gems like Matchbox alive. Oh, and it’s cash only.
