If you ever had Fig Matcha before, don’t hold back and give it a try!! Cute, intimate indoor space with nice & polite employees creating delicious matcha and coffee drinks. Quick in and out, or maybe have a bit of a chat here, but not for working on laptop. I got their Fig Matcha! It has 6g of matcha ($7.75)! I chose the cream top (+$1) and oat milk (additional $). I believe they have oat, almond and whole milk as options. It was exactly what I needed and it was well made! Definitely one of the better ones I’ve tasted in town! Will be returning 100%! Parking? Yes; street parking, in front there is approx 30 minutes. Not sure about other parking spaces. Restroom? Yes; didn’t use it so not sure the space.

From my first sip I knew this would be my new go to coffee and matcha spot!! I've been waiting for a local place like this to open up and it finally did. I got the fig matcha with oat milk and my sister got the crema latte. Let me just tell you it's AMAZING!!! The people are super super sweet and care for their customers. And the place is so cute and homey. I will definitely be back and they will be seeing me often. And to top it off they're Palestinian owned!

I’m the kind of girl that will drive an hour for good matcha, so I was so excited when a friend told me about a new matcha place in the matcha desert of Glendale! It is 10/10 amazing. The uji matcha is deep, rich and smooth without being bitter, they use agave syrup and house made cream tops, and they have some unique matchas like rose cream and fig that are delightful! The owners are awesome humans, great vibes and friendly service, they treat you so well. You’ll definitely want to add this to your list of top matcha spots to try in LA.

My coworker got me hooked! It started with their coffee and then their matcha—both look and taste amazing. The matcha is by far the best I’ve ever tried. The customer service is awesome; the staff is friendly, greets you as soon as you walk in, and genuinely enjoys having conversations with customers. They’re honest with their recommendations but are still happy to make a drink exactly how you want, even if it’s not what they suggest. If I lived closer, this would absolutely be my daily stop for coffee or matcha.

If you've been to Kettl, Maru, La La Land (gross), really just stop. This is such a special little coffee shop and 100% worth the price. I spent 45 minutes talking to the owners today (Zarina (I hope I spelled that right?) & Greg) who are so lovely & a joy to talk too. They're just now starting to build their business from ground up in a physical location and I'm so happy for them! So much care, thought and research has gone into how they want their customers to enjoy their matcha experience, and you immediately feel like family here unlike most of the matcha shops I've been to in LA where there's a lack of any genuine connection (at least what I have felt) and you're just treated like another order. Even though I know how to make my own matcha lattes at home, I 100% will continue coming here (& it's woman-owned which we love!) and supporting these two. Not to mention, they actually spent time in Uji, Japan and learned the history behind what makes matcha such a special thing & not just doing it for the fad. PS - I got the matcha with fig jam (made from scratch), which holy moly, what a combination :)
