I took a sip of my friend’s strawberry matcha and it was really good. I think it’s on the sweeter side but that’s my preference for matcha. They have a lot of fun flavors like banana matcha and creative ones. If I were to get matcha from somewhere as someone who usually doesn’t like matcha because of the bitterness, I would go here for matcha and to try the different flavors.
I got a matcha soft serve with sakura foam, and it was delicious! The music inside had great song choices, so peak. Especially since they played music by Adéla. (Plz listen to her music)
Delicious Strawberry matcha and the cookie was unbelievable! Fast service too
THE BEST MATCHA I'VE EVER TRIED. I highly recommend it to locals and tourists, you will never find a Matcha as good as this. My group ordered different things, including soft serve, ube, matcha and strawberry flavors.
i had gotten the matcha soft serve in a cup and it was good! there were some clumps of powder but the place was busy around 6pm so it was reasonable. the place can get easily crowded, especially when waiting in line to order on the one pos system. the taste was powder and tasted like actual matcha. i will be coming back again!
