The best lattes in New York City come crowned with gold leaf, dusted with activated charcoal powder, flavored with fresh lavender and the fancy like. And now you can get one festooned with your own face: yes, the new location of Moka Matcha Cafe at the Urbanspace at 570 Lexington Avenue is pouring coffee drinks decorated with real-deal selfies right there in the foam.

The specialty coffee shop, which opened its first NYC location at Urbanspace Vanderbilt this past October, is frothing up a bit of java magic: After customers place their coffee order, they can scan a QR code, upload an image of their choosing (keep it clean, New York!), and have it printed directly on their beverage courtesy of a special machine. That means you can have a simple selfie, a sweet pet photo or a group shot printed directly atop your caffeinated cup.
Whether you're jonesing for a traditional latte ($4.50) or cappuccino ($4.50), an iced macchiato ($6.50) or a shaken espresso ($6.50), you can experience the selfie coffees with either a hot or cold beverage, so long as there's a little foam on top for "printing" purposes. And it'll only cost an extra buck to add your lovely visage to the top of any of those java drinks.
Along with those viral selfie lattes, the bakery-coffeeshop offers plenty of that titular matcha, in both beverage and pastry form: for example, you can wash down some creamy matcha tiramisu with an Iced Matcha Strawberry Cream Lemonade. But if you’re not into that green tea earthiness, there’s plenty of other treats to satisfy your sweet tooth, like pistachio muffins, cinnamon roll, raspberry cupcakes and a range of cookies.
