Crema's Take
“De Matcha's matcha is legitimately exceptional—deep, rich, and properly bitter in a way that most Bay Area cafes can't match—with creative flavor combinations like osmanthus and yuzu that actually complement rather than mask the tea. The drinks arrive perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, though be aware that customizing sugar levels isn't an option. This is the matcha destination people drive across town for, especially if you've been disappointed by lesser spots and want to finally understand what quality matcha can taste like.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks.

The best & most authentic matcha I've ever had! Deep, rich, nutty flavor with a delicious strawberry purée that complemented each flavor very well. Not overly sweet. Would definitely come back for more.
I ordered the Matcha Duo which was so good! Love the matcha cream on top. The drink was perfect, not overly sweet. They use just the right amount of matcha, love the bitterness of the matcha. Definitely will come back if I’m ever in Berkley again!
Recommended by a friend here. We tried Ube matcha latte & strawberry matcha. Both drinks were ok, nothing stands out for me. It’s sad that we couldn’t adjust the sugar level. Our strawberry one was little too sweet & I didn’t like the taste of the Ube. Missing boba here!
My friend and I got the osmanthus matcha and yuzu matcha! Both drinks were so flavorful and refreshing!! My drink was the osmanthus matcha, which had osmanthus tea with a matcha foam on top. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for me, and I thought the balance of both flavors…
