Kiss of Matcha
2127 Irving St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This serene matcha specialist sources high-quality Uji matcha to craft velvety lattes and creative blends like their standout matcha espresso latte, with a devoted following across multiple SF locations. The minimalist, easy-on-the-eyes space feels calm and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to linger over specialty drinks and creamy soft serves while your laptop keeps you company. Beyond the exceptional matcha, their thoughtful approach to flavor—from sesame and hojicha variations to rich ice cream—and genuinely comfortable seating have built a loyal community of regulars.”

Super clean space. The shop's color scheme easy on the eye. My coconut green matcha delightful. The thickness consistency was generous. Irving is a wonderful dining corridor. I love SF
Really happy that one of my favorite matcha places in SF opened a new location closer to Ocean Beach. I've gone to their other locations for a long time and had almost all their drinks. My favorite is their strawberry matcha latte and their regular matcha latte (at 50% sweetness). Their matcha tends to be more astringent than some other matcha in the area, so just be warned if that isn't your thing and you prefer a smoother matcha. I also love their matcha soft serve and parfaits. Sooooo good! They also have more seating here, which I really appreciate, and a bathroom in the back. Looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area.
The sesame, hojicha, and matcha ice cream was rich with flavor and had a creamy consistency. It was so good I forgot to take a picture before I took a couple bites. 😄 The hojicha latte was a treat on a cold rainy day. (Not too sweet) I will definitely be coming back here again to try new items! ☺️
Great place for soft serve ice cream! The matcha is from Uji and tastes so smooth and creamy. The shop has a nice vibe with comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a treat.
My friend and I got the Uji Matcha Latte and Matcha Espresso Latte. Both drinks were great especially the matcha espresso latte! It was such a great blend of matcha and espresso that I would totally get again. The matcha latte was also good although it may be light on the matcha taste. There are quite a few seatings inside and honestly, a great place to hang out with a friend. Please come try this location!
