Maruwu Seicha
87 N San Pedro St, San Jose, CA
Crema's Take
“This San Jose gem specializes in authentic Japanese matcha and creamy Hokkaido milk drinks that transport you straight to Japan, with their matcha gelato and lattes earning praise for bold, fragrant flavors that aren't overly sweet. Hidden in a casual food court setting at San Pedro Square, it's a takeaway-focused spot perfect for a quick grab, though the no-frills cafeteria vibe means you're really coming for the exceptional drinks rather than ambiance. Whether you're a matcha devotee or curious about specialty Japanese beverages, their creative takes on traditional drinks—especially when paired with that signature rich Hokkaido milk—make it worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Open late.

I honestly found it, okay. There is a lot of hype around this place, so I have to check it out, and I was honestly a little underwhelmed. It is located in sort of a food court, so it’s a takeaway only. I tried the Matcha latte with pistachio and honestly, the combination did not…
Original Review: I see what all the hype is about... I didn't know this place existed until yesterday! I randomly stumbled upon Maruwu Seicha while visiting San Pedro Square on a hot summer Sunday afternoon. The lines were long, but moved quickly, which speaks to the efficiency…
