Mamacha

SoHo & Chinatown


Although it's essentially a matcha-with-art bar, this gallery-like cafe has made its name selling drinks infused with CBD – a non-psychoactive (completely legal) compound found in the hemp plant used to make cannabis. Take a shot of it in a turmeric ginger latte or zingy pomegranate and peppermint fizz, and wait to see if it has the calming effect it's supposed to.

Knowledgeable staff can talk you through CBD as well as other natural boosters used in their drinks, such as Anima Mundi Collagen and E-3 Live Blue Majik.
