Oishii Matcha
2299 Market St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This Castro gem specializes in velvety matcha drinks that locals rave about for their smooth, perfectly balanced flavor and creamy matcha soft serve (the ube is a standout). The owners and staff genuinely care, often offering free samples and going out of their way to remake drinks or add special touches that make you feel welcomed. It's a cozy spot perfect for a quick matcha fix or lingering with family, though the intimate space fills up fast.”

Honestly, the best matcha in SF! The drink was super smooth, and the quality of the matcha is really good — not bitter at all, with a great balance with the purée. The staff were very friendly. I’ll definitely be back to try more.
One of the best boba places in the SF city! A must stop by if you’re in Castro! Their soft serves are to die for♥️ my favorite is the ube. The owner is super friendly and gave us a sample of matcha soft serve.
Amazing. Both workers on 1/19/2026 were so nice. Someone had taken my drink or we had just missed it and he remade it for me including an extra special treat on the side. They also gave us a free sample of their matcha. The matcha soft serve and strawberry matcha latte were both so delicious I am going to come back another time.
The matcha soft serve is very yummy! Not too sweet, and you can really taste the matcha flavour, not watered down or too milky. The ube matcha was just in general bad and watery. Staff was really kind and accommedating. No space inside the store to sit, but the two tables outside are good for when it's nice out.
Meh... Can't say we were all that impressed with Oishii Matcha... We visited Oishii Matcha to satisfy our Matcha and Sweet tooth cravings... Small Venue with not a lot of room inside. I'd estimate 90% of the orders are to go due to the lack of room; there is a small bench inside probably for waiting on your order and two small tables outside. #SweetTooth: ~ BOBA SUNDAE UBE - 3.5/5 I thought this was just a bit better than OK. It certainly didn't look like the pictures. This was just Ube soft serve with a some boba and a bit of brown sugar syrup. It looks far better in the the pics. Decent, nowhere near the best Ube Soft Serve I had. They also ran out of Black Sesame and hojicha on that particular day, so were unable to try either of those flavors. Sadly we were a bit disappointed...
