Matter

I will always give extra credit for a concept of a spot even if it isn't executed 100% than a spot that does the same old stuff and that is what got my attention with Matter. Another healthy food/bowl spot? Yes and no. Matter is very easy to get to right out of the Broadway Lafeyette station taking the Crosby exit and walking barely a block. Seating is plentiful as a good group can sit and eat here but also some high chairs are here for more solo eating, overall I liked the spot and for a Friday afternoon at 3pm their was a good number of people here. The main hook of Matter is that you can customize your meal and drink down to the gram because they weigh everything which especially good for those that like to track their macros. So in my case, I chose the standard Mediterranean Chicken m

I really wanted to like this spot but eating here is the quick-service restaurant equivalent of being micromanaged by Adam Neumann at WeWork in 2018. House music on the speakers, underutilized ceiling height, insufficient seating. If you happen to snag a seat, table will be wobbly. Tried to add broccoli to my order on the iPad and it wasn't allowing me. So I moved to another one, started my entire order again, added broccoli, and this time cauliflower wasn't available. GREAT! Food came out quickly but I was there at a really random time, so there wasn't a line. Refer to the photo to see that I added feta cheese to my order , and they gave me barely any. Yep I came to Matter to pay $24 to microdose on feta cheese. Jeez Food is good but not enough for the price. Still hungry.

This is the only 'healthy' eatery that actually lives up to the claim. I love their innovative ordering system, which lets you fully customize portion sizes for every ingredient. Whether you want extra broccoli, less rice, or double protein, they make it easy. They also offer great gluten-free options and provide nutritional info of whatever you ordered. I can’t wait for them to expand across the U.S.—they would also be a perfect addition to airports! 10/10 recommend!

Obsessed with this place. They weigh every single ingredient in your order, so it take a bit more time for them to prepare, but at least you know the macros will be accurate. The food tastes amazing — I got the chicken as my protein and it was perfectly cooked. Onlyyy thing I’d suggest is they change is the music. It’s a little too loud and clubby for the otherwise very chill vibe of the restaurant.

I’ve been here a few times now and have had a great experience each meal. The staff is super friendly. Highly recommend downloading the app to order ahead of time for the lunch rush.
