Amai coffee & tea
4106 San Fernando Rd # H, Glendale, CA
Crema's Take
“Amai has mastered the art of the matcha latte with a precision that's earned them comparisons to Hawaiian matcha bars, all while maintaining a thoughtful approach to customization with alternative milk options like Koatji and easily adjustable sweetness levels. Their small, vibey space pairs beautifully crafted drinks—from creamy matcha with aesthetic cream tops to creative blends like blueberry matcha—with genuinely warm staff who take time to walk you through each order, making this Glendale gem feel less like a quick caffeine stop and more like a thoughtfully curated tea and coffee experience.”

I tried their matcha with cream top and it was so good. The drink was really smooth and the cream top made it even better. Also the presentation was super aesthetic. Definitely coming back!
I found this place while I was in Glendale on the hunt for a really good matcha or coffee, and wow — I’m so glad I stopped in. The matcha was seriously the best I’ve had since Hawaii, no exaggeration. Smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. Beyond the drinks, the entire experience was lovely. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and the space itself is beautiful — calm, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. It’s the kind of place you instantly want to come back to and sit in for a while. Such a gem and easily one of my favorite finds in Glendale. Highly recommend if you love quality matcha, great coffee, and genuinely sweet people. 💚
Very kind staff that explained everything to us step by step. Sweetness for your drinks is easily adjusted and they have many milk options including Koatji! This shop is small however so I wouldn’t recommend bringing your laptop to do any work. However very welcoming atmosphere and the shop was very clean. This was a well balanced iced matcha and the Vietnamese coffee leans a little coffee sided and delicious.
great little cafe, definitely a little small but good vibes! i got the blueberry matcha with oat milk and it was delicious. i definitely wanna go back and try other drinks. they played great music and the girl that took my order was friendly and helpful! i’ll be back 🩵
I’m from Germany and quite critical when it comes to matcha.My family and I run a coffee shop back home that also serves matcha lattes, so I had pretty high expectations. This wasn’t my first matcha in Los Angeles, but I have to say, I’m really impressed! From the vibrant color to the perfectly balanced taste, everything is spot on. The shop itself is super cute & small, but that’s absolutely fine. You don’t need a big space to serve great coffee or matcha. The staff are very friendly, and you can really feel how much love and care they put into their work. The quality is outstanding, and the price is definitely worth it. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates good matcha! 🍵😍🫶🏼
