The space is a little small for the demand of this shop & the parking can be less than ideal. Matcha is known to be light and sweet and their banana cream matcha is nice and light and quite strong banana in a good way. Their ube cold foam also balances the perfect amount of nutty sweetness and cream. I went for their most recent POV husband event and this custom drink for the event was by far their best (simple agave vanilla cold foam matcha) and I hope they bring it back for the permanent menu

I tried the chrome and banana lattes and I felt the banana wasn't overly sweet, I really liked the cold foam on the chrome one too! The coffee was pretty solid, the baristas were all friendly as well. My only issue with this cafe is that the line wrapped around the store, but the only menu faced the door away from the line or right up at the counter. When waiting that long, I feel it helps to actually see the menu before I order and wish it was more accessible. The one menu on the wall was not the full menu just the featured drinks which was somewhat helpful.

The place is ever so cute. It is spotless. The service is great. Even the robot is adorable. We love their Mango mango and all of their lattes are great. Their espresso is perfect. I wish it was open a bit later. We often end up there near closing. But it is one of our favorite coffee shops in the South Bay. It is fun, the prices are fair and again, they have a robot. They close at 6 pm so get there. Please stay open until 7, we will come. The attention to detail in every cup is consistent and amazing. You will love it.

I got the Vietnamese coffee which was really good I feel like the powder gives it a bit of a different taste but a good taste! I also got a bagel and it was very tasty. Parking lot is big but some signs say 20 mins for certain spots. They offer wifi so I would recommend this place for work or study. They definitely had a good amount of regulars which made me realize I had made a good choice by coming here. They definitely remember the regulars which I think it goes a long way. This is a one off but while I was there somehow it was a small hiccup and someone got the wrong drink ( a genuine accident) when they realized they felt so bad but one of the girls ran to get the customer and made sure she got the right drink the girls were so apologetic. The customer was also very understanding. I thought that was great to witness! I would deff come back here!

Most recently I got the mango sticky matcha and it's good marine need more of their mango sticky rice because once mixed the flavor is muted. I tried the turon and it's just alright. Felt like it didn't showcase the turon flavor. The Amari signature is a classic you can't go wrong and the Vietnamese coffees. They have additions you can add such as boba and I want to say I got it before and the texture was good but I may have to try again.

The quality is just amazing and I prefer the matcha profile here compared to other places. Another favorite is their hojicha lattes!! So umami and fresh and nutty. I'm addicted!

Also, I would like to think my review made them change their straws! They're much better now! Love a place that takes feedback seriously!

Yamari specializes in Uji matcha straight from Kyoto. [Parking]: The parking lot for Mitsuwa can get busy during the weekend, but it is not impossible to find an open spot. [Ordering]: There was no long waiting line and I was able to get my order within 5 minutes after placing an order at the counter. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Iced Matcha Lattes, Strong Uji Matcha Green Tea (sweetened), and Stone Ground Uji Matcha (contains no sugar or milk). They offer small, medium, and large sizes for their drinks. In addition, they also sell hojicha drinks as well as parfaits and soft-serve ice cream. *** Strong Uji matcha green tea (sweetened - small $4.50): The matcha flavor was strong alright. The drink did hit the spot and the sweetness level was about right. Mixed Soft Serve (half matcha and half hojicha - $6.75): Ice cream had a strong matcha flavor, but the texture didn't hit the spot. It would be nicer if the flavor was slightly less dense as this ice cream really made me want to drink more water afterward. The milk chocolate was a nice add-on, but I am not sure if it was really needed. *** I would stick with their drinks and there are better soft-serve matcha ice creams in Los Angeles (e.g. Meccha Matcha in Artesia or Tea Master Matcha Cafe & Green Tea Shop in Little Tokyo).

It was overly milky, watery, and packed with syrup - I couldn't taste the actual coffee at all. I definitely don't recommend it. The toast was also a disappointment, as it was way too salty. Given the high price and the establishment's strong overall rating, I expected a much better experience. To make matters worse, the service was nonexistent.
