One of the cafe’s standout offerings is its tropical matcha, which has garnered rave reviews from customers. As Keelin Perala experienced, this signature drink is not just a treat for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes—served in a chic martini glass, the smooth matcha perfectly blends with the subtle sweetness of coconut, creating a refreshing and delightful experience.

Alberto Montalesi praised the presentation of both his matcha and cold brew experiences, noting that the care in presentation elevates the overall enjoyment of each drink, even if the sweet notes in the matcha were a touch pronounced for his taste.

The love for matcha is echoed throughout other customer experiences too.

Honestly, this was the best matcha drink I’ve ever had. I had the tropical matcha and it was served in a martini glass, the matcha was smooth and the coconut was the perfect level of sweetness. The cafe has only outdoor seating, but it’s been outfitted with cooling fans and a light, refreshing mister. When I asked about local recommendations, the owner went out of her way to give me a list of great options - I’ll definitely be back, and highly recommend to others ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My friends and I stumbled the classes place about June before they opened. It was their soft launch and it was amazing the flavor of the Matcha so on point so good we were so thirsty from walking around that it was just so refreshing and they had a fan next to us and it was so nice. I highly recommend this place even if you’re a local or a traveler!

We tried a cold brew coffee and a matcha drink. The presentation was very nice for both of them, especially the matcha drink. The taste was overall pretty good, maybe a little bit too sweet.

Outdoor pet friendly cafe with a warm and chill vibe, especially if you want to have a cig and get your caffein fix. Both matcha and coffee are quite decent. Got the Matcha Coconut House Blend, quite nutty and umami with light coconut aroma. Perfect for a chilling weekend.

Very cozy place with interesting drinks. We ordered the Tropical Matcha, it had a strong Pandan taste which blended well with the coconut milk and Matcha. Service was very nice and welcoming. (and the dog was cute )

The setting of this place is bright and cozy… It has the combination of Vietnamese (bamboo trees), Japanese (stone statues), and French (architecture) influences… Various kinds of music upon request… The brown coffee tastes rich and aromatic… The Kyoto Premium Matcha has a rich and flavorful taste of Japanese green tea… The prices are reasonable… The service staff are very friendly, courteous, and professional… The restroom is clean and well-kept… Come and experience it by yourself… I strongly recommend it…
