Osmanthus Matcha Latte & Matcha Mango
Justina C.

I came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the Osmanthus Matcha latte and it was delicious. The osmanthus was very subtle but added a nice delicate touch on top of the matcha. My other friend also got the matcha mango and really enjoyed it! I would definitely come back here again:)

Oy. The strength of their matcha is not for the faint of heart. Like literally, it is so strong you will feel your heart beating through your whole body and in your ears and you will also see it in your friends' faces lol. If you're okay with that, the drinks taste great! I love me a Matcha Einspanner ($7.50) and this was nicely sweetened with the strong matcha taste, my personal preference. I hate when the matcha flavor is lost in a drink, and I didn't experience that here. I tried my friend's Banana Pudding Matcha Einspanner ($8.50) and it was properly topped with banana pudding...it even came with a little spoon to scoop it out :) I liked that the banana thickness mixed into the matcha to add to the flavor profile. It was super strong, almost bitter, so it might not be for everyone. My friend just got matcha and water, and he had to add more water to dilute it to make the taste more manageable lol Since I like my matcha as potent as possible, I will be back! The earl gray matcha latte ($7.25) sounds good :)

Valencia street is one of best places to enjoy food and drinks in the city of San Francisco. Whenever someone wants to visit San Francisco I always recommend Valencia street and not Mission street. Although the Mission District in part of Valencia street I always felt Valencia vibes were always different just being born and raised a block away. The home of the first Mission style burrito is on Valencia street and the same block as the legendary Stone Mill Matcha. The newest place for matcha has arrived on Valencia street and it's located where Don Juan De La Matcha grew up in SF and it's called Ceré Tea. On a Summer stroll on Valencia street from the historic Levi's plant building and past the Valencia Gardens and along La Cumbre the first place to make the Mission Style burrito in the world and past first Dandelion Chocolate store location I landed at Cere Tea. Inside there are so many matcha flavors to pick from like the Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspänner and the Matcha Mango which you can add a cheese foam top like some in SF. I got the Banana Pudding Matcha Einspänner and it was tasty and not too sweet and very smooth. The banana pudding on top should be eaten and enjoyed with a spoon. They also have seasonal drinks like purple yam flavored Snowy Ube. A good new edition for matcha in SF at Valencia street in the Mission. Visit Ceré Tea on Valencia street with Don Juan de la Matcha and enjoy a matcha "delight"and then take "flight"to other places like Anatolian Table, Apna Chula, Beretta, Thanh Tam ll on Valencia street for a "bite" it's also where you find the party people in SF on Valencia street day or "night " Going to Valencia street is another dimension of the "Mission Universe "it is a fun place in SF and very "diverse" you can have dumplings at Dumpling Story and La Cumbre for the Mission style burritos because in the world it was the "first" and if you want to enjoy a matcha with different flavors go to Ceré Tea to fulfill your Matcha "thirst"

Earl Grey Matcha Latte
Crystal N.

I always enjoy stopping by Ceré Tea for their earl grey matcha! It can be surprisingly difficult to find earl grey matcha in the city that has both a good balance of flavor & high quality matcha, but Ceré Tea hits the matcha spot every time. The matcha is always consistent, smooth and the perfect amount of sweetness. When I need a good pick me up I come to Ceré Tea!

Matcha Guava Cloud and Earl Grey Hojicha
Julie K.

Hojicha latte was flavorful and creamy while their seasonal guava matcha was ok - still sweet at 50% and wasn't digging the guava flavor. Drinks are quite strong and pricey. Self service checkout.

Guava matcha
Jackson C.

Cere tea has multiple locations in the Bay Area but decided to stop by the Valencia location today. The place is modern and clean. They are known for their matcha so naturally ordered a couple of matcha drinks Guava Matcha and Black Sesame Matcha Einspanner. I believe the Guava Matcha is trending as not a lot of places offer this specific drink. I found the guava taste a little overpowering and the drink overall a little too sweet, masking some of the matcha flavor. The matcha was smooth and creamy, not too bitter. On the other hand, we enjoyed the Black Sesame Matcha a little more. The black sesame was pronounced but not too overpowering. One of the better black sesame matcha I've had. The matcha was smooth and strong, but not bitter which has happened at other matcha places I've tried. At over $9 a drink, not certainly cheap but worth a splurge if you are in the mood.

One of my favorite matcha places. Glad there's one available in SF, no need to go to Burlingame anymore. My favorite drink is the Osmanthus matcha! Suggest you order through Square if it gets busy. There's only one kiosk. Note the when it asks for matcha level, it lists half or additional, default is NO press. The matcha drinks come out quickly. Tried the earl grey matcha ($7.25), matcha has a vibrant green color and tea flavor. I still prefer the Osmanthus matcha, but was unavailable when ordering. There's a couple tables and was super clean. Was able to get a sit and do work with their quick wifi. Overall, my favorite matcha place.

Strawberry Cream Matcha
Arianna C.

This was just a big disappointment. The only plus that we got the drinks pretty fast, but that was it. There was really no customer interaction at all even though it wasn't busy. We ordered the Osmanthus Hojicha and Strawberry Cream Matcha both with an extra shot of Hojicha and Matcha. The Strawberry Cream Matcha was a major disappointment. You could hardly taste any Strawberry or Matcha even though we ordered the drink with an extra shot of Matcha. You would think you would taste the Matcha more based on us paying more for an extra shot, but it was just a disappointing drink that hardly had any flavor at all. Thankfully the Osmanthus Hojicha was a little better and you could taste the Hojicha a little more, but we have had Hojicha with a more robust taste. Definitely a disappointment especially with the fact we paid more for an extra shot of Hojicha. Overall, very bland and weak tasting Tea that hardly has any flavor, especially for the price we paid.

Came right when it opened on a Saturday. I like how they have big menu to look it and then an order kiosk. The inside was very cute and had a good amount of seating. I asked the barista what the difference is between their matcha einspanner and matcha latte, and they said they are the same, except the einspanner has additional vanilla cream at the top. Decided to try the matcha einspanner as I have already tried their double matcha before. The drink came out very quickly and was delicious! I don't like my drinks TOO sweet so I got 50% and it was perfect. A great matcha spot.

guava matcha
Shivangi K.

Their soft opening special is the guava matcha so had to get that and it was delish! Slight grainy vibes from the puree tho which doesn't bother me too much but takes away from the smoothness of the drink. I also taste more guava than matcha but still solid! In general, there are soooo many tempting options! I definitely want to come back to try their "sunny-side up" mango matcha and hojicha :) Open space, good amount of seating and service is quick on weekdays. My drink was ready in under 5mins!

Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspänner
Anivesh B.

Top tier drink. Whipped cream was decadent. Yolk in sunny side up is mango syrup, which was a nice complement to the matcha. Wait wasn't too bad, even on a Sunday.

Guava Cloud Matcha
Tasha H.

Lots of fun menu options here! I tried the guava cloud Matcha and enjoyed it. The cloud was nice and tangy and the guava flavor throughout tasted real and not too sweet. Would come back!

Linda Y.

I came here during the soft opening and I'm really glad that there is now a great matcha soot in the mission especially near the 24th street Mission area. I came here around 10:30 AM on a weekday and it was pretty quiet, but there are a few tables here that you can sit at and the interior is clean and bright. There's also free Wi-Fi, which is a great plus if you need to work. I got the iced guava matcha (less sweet) and it was really good. I loved how smooth the macho was and the guava cream was scrumptious -- had a perfect hint of tropical flavor without being too overpowering. I'd love to come back and try more flavors and highly recommend you check out this place. If you're in the area the workers are also very sweet and friendly!

I'm mildly lactose and my stomach is totally happy and in agreement with coconut milk. I also had a sip of my friend's matcha latte. It was very smooth and not water down matcha like other places. Download the app and order in advance. There is only one kiosk in the store and this location is super busy and popular.

First time trying this place because they had a mango sticky rice drink on their menu. Then the…read morecreme brûlée drink caught my eye too. I ended up wanting to try both. Creme Brûlée was beyond amazing, and I can see why it's one of their most ordered drinks :) the mango sticky rice was kind of a disappointment. It just tasted like mango juice mixed with rice milk, and a few grains of rice. After trying it from other places, I just expected more sticky rice in the drink. Highly recommend the creme brûlée though! The pudding bits were my favorite part. I went in the evening around 6pm and was lucky enough to find parking right out front. It wasn't too busy inside and I was able to place my order on the tablet fairly quickly. Once placed, my drinks came out pretty quick. If you wish to enjoy your drink inside, there's plenty of seating. Mostly hard wooden chairs and one corner with softer cushion seats, if that's what you prefer.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.

I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.
