It's just a beautiful, feminine space like even the bathroom was decked out in pink! I loved it. While there, I got a sandwich and strawberry matcha. I really enjoyed both. It's honestly made me crave strawberry matcha since then. There was one girl there working, and she was really helpful in explaining the difference in drinks to me. Can't wait to go back!

While in the West Loop on a warm weekend I was craving a refreshing drink. I did a quick Yelp…read moresearch and Matcha Cita came up. When I arrived I was amazed at how large the space was for a matcha shop. The counter to order was very long and there were plenty of tables of chairs available and they weren't cramped close to one another. The menu was located on the far back wall and the font was small so it was hard to look at the menu while ordering at the counter, but fortunately nobody was behind me in line while ordering. I ordered three drinks to try different things. First was the Pink Señorita with strawberry, pitaya, matcha, and coconut milk. Second was the Pistachio Honey Latte with pistachio, honey, and choice of matcha according to the menu, though I wasn't given a choice of matcha. Last was Bluetiful which included blueberry, blue spirulina, collagen, matcha, and vanilla almond milk. Pink Señorita was probably the more flavorful drink of the three although something about it the strawberry gave off an artificial taste. The Pistachio Honey Latte had a nice pistachio flavor that didn't overpower the matcha. Bluetiful was the least favorite drink since it didn't taste like anything at all; it had an interesting blue color but other than that it tasted like heavily diluted matcha with no hints of blueberry or vanilla almond milk or anything at all. All of these were ordered in 20 oz cups and I felt the price of $8.95 was a bit steep for each of the three, especially considering that the drinks didn't all taste quite as expected. By no means are the drinks from Matcha Cita authentic Japanese style matcha drinks, but they provide a bougie twist on classic matcha similar to other higher priced smoothie and juice shops. I did notice it was unsanitary for the barista to touch the garbage bag behind the counter as if she was about to throw out the trash, take my order at the register, and then start making the drinks without washing her hands, but I didn't want to make a scene and call her out on it; at least she wasn't touching the ingredients directly with her hands, I guess. If you're craving a unique type of drink on a hot day in the West Loop, Matcha Cita is an option but it may be better to stick with the basics and try to watch the barista making your order behind the counter to ensure proper food handling practices are performed.

Their matcha is pretty good and I love the variety of options for flavor add-ins. It's also so super cute inside and totally instagrammable! The prices are just crazy, though. I made my peace about $15 for a matcha and a croissant, but with the taxes, tip, and the extra fees added on, I paid over $20 for this quick stop. To top it off, they have QR codes to post and tag them on your IG story for a reward but it was not recognizing that I tagged them so it was a waste of time and disappointing. I sat in a booth and it was a little messy. I had to wipe down the table surface, and there were napkins and pieces of food on the ground.

Service was great and the drinks came out pretty fast (8.5/10). We got the coffee flight, and all four drinks were on the sweeter side but not too sweet. I really liked the espresso here. It had a great flavor without being too bitter or too weak. The Biscoff (8/10) was my favorite. It was delicious and SO chuggable. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch (8/10) was super cinnamony, which I loved. The Salted Caramel (6.5/10) had a little too much caramel flavor for me. The Peanut Butter Cup (6.5/10) was good, but I couldn't really taste much peanut butter.

The staff were super nice, just good vibes all around. I was craving hot chocolate and this spot really delivered. I got La Parisienne, a hot chocolate that was dark, a little bitter, smooth, and rich... exactly how I like it. That mix of flavors just hits right. The whipped cream with a dust of cocoa powder on top was the perfect finish. Also grabbed an almond croissant, and man, that was a good move. Flaky, buttery, with that nutty flavor that just goes so well with the hot chocolate. Dipping it in? Yeah, that's the way to do it. Everything together made it feel like one of those slow, perfect mornings you don't want to rush.

I always get enticed by the signature flavors when in reality I should just stick to something simple. The moonwater was a unique balance of flavors for a latte that worked exceptionally well but ultimately I would have preferred something simpler. They know how to do their coffee well, and if you're looking for something unique and out of the ordinary try something from the special menu. If you're more of a purist like myself go simple. Can't go wrong either way. When I went the service was great, the guy who took my order was so friendly. Great place to work or catch up with a friend.
