Matcha Mood
654 Congress St, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“This cozy Congress Street matcha shop wins hearts with genuinely kind staff who craft intentional, beautifully designed drinks that go far beyond basic lattes—think seasonal menus and creative recipes that keep regulars coming back daily. Beyond the matcha magic, they nail the full breakfast experience with standout items like their waffle with egg and bacon, plus thoughtfully customized specialty drinks for every dietary preference. It's the kind of small, easy-to-miss spot where every detail, from the decor to the pumpkin chai, reflects real care and makes you feel like you're discovering something special.”

I absolutely love this place. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can really tell how much care goes into every single drink. Everything feels intentional and thoughtfully done- from the beautifully designed menus to the rotating drink specials. Such a special spot, they I’ll continue to go back to 😊
Such a cutesy matcha shop with kind and sweet customer service. The small or medium matcha drink was perfect after lunch and afternoon pick up. They can customize it to non-dairy milks.
Absolutely delicious, visually stunning, yummy. I devoured the waffle egg, bacon, and cheese which was lovely. I don't usually eat bacon, but it was so satisfying. The pumpkin chai was phenomenal. What a satisfying brunch.
Everyday, I went to get a matcha latte. I really enjoyed the quality of the drinks & all the different latte recipes they created. We were lucky to experience a summer menu & a fall menu. the decor was very intentional & adorable. kpop music played 🙂↕️ extremely lucky to have this nearby our stay.
A cute small macha milk tea shop on Congress Street. Very tiny and easy to be overlooked. Many sorts of macha drinks. I tried the strawberry one as the owner recommended me that one. It is super delicious. Love it. Will go back there again and try something new.
