Maruichi Select
299 Harvard St, Brookline, MA
Crema's Take
“This Brookline gem has quietly become Boston's matcha destination, crafting lattes with vibrant green color and genuine matcha depth that put syrup-heavy competitors to shame. Beyond the Instagram-famous drinks, they're turning heads with surprisingly excellent Japanese-inspired food—generous curry portions, stellar onigiri and rolls—all at prices that feel like a steal near Fenway. The clean, relaxed atmosphere makes it equally perfect for a quick matcha fix or lingering over a proper meal.”

THE place in Boston for matcha lattes with occasional seasonal drinks. They remain super green after mixing and actually taste strongly of matcha, unlike other cafes that rely on syrups and sugar to add flavor to their drinks. Last fall they had a popup with limited matcha latte flavors, like strawberry, white peach, and a yuzu sencha soda, so I would definitely keep an eye out for those!
Mariuchi in Brookline is a great spot. The environment is relaxed and very clean, which makes it easy to enjoy your time there. The food is consistently good, and the prepared items are especially well done and fresh. Drinks are solid and well made, and the prices feel fair for the quality you get. Overall, it is an easy place to come back to, whether you are grabbing food or sitting down for a drink.
Viral matcha place on tiktok, wouldn’t think that they have good food court also. I love the curry, portion is pretty big (good price). Was not fan of the real matcha taste but my friend said it was worth the hyped.
Fresh ingredients, clean flavors, and honestly the best affordable Japanese spot I’ve tried near Fenway off C line. Onigiri and rolls are elite with other options. Simple, quick, and worth it every time
Maruichi will always have a special place on my heart. They have really good food for relatively cheap prices. The matcha lattes are one of the best ones in Boston though lately their quality has gone a little bit down. The place is very full on the weekends so I would not recommend going there if you want to get a meal unless you go later in the day or ealy morning.
