I liked that the ube flavor wasn't overpowering, and the topping added just enough sweetness without making the whole thing feel too heavy.

There is a huge line because this place is popn and the seating doesn't feel warm and welcoming. It's more of a stop ans go shop for drink pick up. I ordered the hojicha and banana bread. I liked that the bread wasn't overly sweet. Wish it tasted more banana and nutty. It came with dark chocolate chips. Hojicha drink was nutty, classical flavor. Worth checking them out.

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.

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).

The menu is pretty standard for a classic coffee shop. I ordered the iced matchata with oat milk, which definitely hit the spot. It was a great mix between matcha, which is typically bitter, and horchata, which can at times be sickeningly sweet. The blend of the two in this drink was pleasant and not too sweet. There is a small parking lot that the shop shares with a few neighboring shops. Most people seemed to grab their online orders and go. If you're in the area and craving a solid caffeine stop, this is a great place.

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.
