    Perfect and quaint. Recently stopped in for a cup of tea while waiting to have lunch with clients in the area. The space is open and is great if you want to hang out for awhile and enjoy your beverage. Friendly service and a wide variety of menu items.

    Nice tea house at Berkeley. They have another location at SF. We stopped by after lunch. Looks like it is a good place to study or work as I see many customers working on the laptop. I heard this tea house is pretty famous. it has nice interior and high ceiling. They also have one popup store inside when we visit. There are plenty of teas and match varieties. They also sell the match powder, tea leaf and Hojicha powder . They also have imperial Matcha powder. We ordered just cold matcha and it was good. it was not that strong. We will stop by next time to try other tea.

    Oh man, if you want to try some of the best tea possible in a fast serve environment this would be the place. I've only had the chance to try the HOJICHA green tea and omg it was f*cking amazing srsly I want to try way more of their options- this may be an every time I'm in the bay type thing- rekindles my tea obsession

    Great, fresh high-quality matcha green tea regular size was $5.58. Waited about 10 minutes for my drink!

    Matcha soft serve
    Li F.

    Feels odd leaving a review for soft serve from a tea shop but that was our favorite thing. The teas were good but not something we'd drive a long distance for, but the soft serve was really good. Would come back just for that. It was creamy, not too sweet with just the right amount of matcha flavor. .

    I had high hopes about the matcha latte here, but my drink turned out to be below my expectations. I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt after seeing the chunks of matcha at the bottom of my cup, but after mixing it and giving it a try, the taste was lacking. I could hardly taste the matcha, and it was really milky. I wouldn't get it again, but maybe the teas here are better than the lattes.

    Sooo good and great study cafe vibes Drinks: 1) Jasmine milk tea: excellent with 75% sweetness 2) Roasted oolong milk tea with honey: would be better with regular sugar and 75-100% sweetness 3) loose leaf milky oolong tea leaves Logistics: -Super hard to find parking -great for doing work here, lots of tables available

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Nataly N.

    Good quality matcha! I also love that there is the option to make it less sweet and with less ice. Ordering is pretty quick and easy through the ordering screen. To order loose-leaf tea, though, I believe I've had to order at the counter. The space is great -- it fills up, but I personally haven't had trouble finding seating. There are large windows and plenty of natural light if you're reading while sipping on your tea. They do run out of pastries later in the day, so come early not to miss them!

    Pineapple Oolong Tea and Matcha Latte
    Melinda K.

    I did enjoy their Matcha Latte more than the Pineapple Oolong Tea, both with half sweetness. The service was nice and efficient. Cozy inside, but a bit smaller with less seating and noisier to sit down and relax. I didn't like where it was located because there were mentally unstable people near the front of the door. Plus, there was not much street parking, so you either had to park one block away or a few streets away. You will have to be accompanied by friends or a partner to visit this place.

    Great matcha + high quality drinks! Not too sweet and didn't overpower the matcha flavor! Loved the black sesame cookie as well--I really appreciated the chew of the cookie and size of it! Just the right amount of nuttiness in there! Quick service and a short walk in the downtown Berkeley area!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte
    Dream-Suphada L.

    Simple good matcha! I used to come here all the time when I studied in Berkeley but it's been a while since I've been back. But glad to say the quality is still the same and the matcha tastes very good!

    Matcha Latte
    Kathleen S.

    Amazing matcha at this location. I tried the matcha with almond milk and honey substitute. Highly recommend!

    strawberry matcha latte
    Jade L.

    I ordered a strawberry matcha latte with oat milk to sip on while waiting for my friends to get brunch at Berkeley Social Club just down the street. The matcha was pretty good but the strawberry to matcha ratio was off with barely that much strawberry compote compared to the amount of matcha and milk in the drink, so once I stirred it, the strawberry flavour was minimal. I would get the matcha by itself and skip the addition of strawberry next time.

They have an extensive menu of tea, I decided to get the black mango tea, which is indicated as high caffeine. They told me to keep it to less than 1 min steeping or else it gets oversteeped. They were prompt with coming out with my tea leaves and teapot, and gave me a towel to put your teapot on in case of spills It was bitter, but definitely has the fruity notes I was seeking. I was able to make several potfuls of tea which still had some flavor in them, so the leaves seemed to do well with re-steeping. They provided me with a kettle so I could continually reboil the water, so I felt it was decent value (since total it cost only slightly more than the average boba costs nowadays). I'm thinking I'd like to get the lychee or hojicha next time. The worker didn't mention to me if they offer milk, which I wish they did. But they do sell snacks. The bathroom is clean. They have free wifi but the day I was there, unfortunately they were having issues with the wifi. They have a 2 hour time limit on weekends, but no limit on weekdays. I appreciate that they have outdoor seating, for those who are airborne illness conscious, and also so you can enjoy nature and sunshine while having your tea. A lovely spot overall, right on San Pablo Ave so you can take the 72 bus lines to reach it.

The staff member was super helpful and friendly in recommending us different teas. We ended up picking the Yunnan Gold and Moonlight White - a black tea and a white tea. The Yunnan Gold had more of a bold flavor and smelled and tasted wonderful. The Moonlight White was much lighter but still very nice and pleasant. Each table has its own kettle so we got to brew the tea ourselves. I know tea always comes with brewing instructions but I never really paid attention to those. However, this experience made me realize the importance of brewing tea as instructed to fully enjoy the flavors and notes each tea offers. Overall, my friend and I had a great experience. We were able to try new teas and catch up in a relaxing atmosphere.

I also ordered a lychee strawberry matcha milk tea (with the oat milk option) and I was pretty happy with that purchase. Overall, I wouldn't dock them more than a star for the underwhelming pastry because most of the others are excellent. It might just be that savory isn't their thing...
