Eight Grams Matcha
2440 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Eight Grams Matcha is a Berkeley destination for matcha enthusiasts willing to seek out premium blends like their celebrated Haku and honeycomb varieties, where the real magic happens when you find your sweetness preference. The shop shines brightest for those who appreciate delicate, non-bitter matcha flavors balanced with just enough honey, though their drink consistency seems to divide guests depending on how adventurous they are with sweeter, more creative takes on traditional matcha tea. It's a slow-sip kind of place that rewards repeat visits and customization requests, especially if you're the type to ask them to dial back the sweetness and let the quality matcha speak for itself.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu.

8 Grams is a must for matcha lovers. I had the honeycomb matcha latte with the Haku blend, less sweet, and it was perfect for me. I’m a fan of matcha that isn’t overly bitter and this one leaned more creamy with a really pleasant nuttiness. Super smooth and well-rounded. The…
It's really sweet tbh, even 50%, and both matcha and hojicha flavors barely come out. Not a bad experience, and decent quantity too, but it's not really what I look for in a cafe! By the way, I don't think they actually use 8g 😆, and it is pretty expensive for what you're…
