    For those who love matcha in the area they should try this place. The menu offers some fun flavors like an yuzu refresher that is so bright and refreshing, creme brulee matcha latte and also classics like a matcha latte. They also have delicious matcha gelato that is smooth and creamy while still retaining that deep matcha flavor. We tried a few items and none were bitter or sweet. Just the right balance for us. The service is efficient and done with a smile. All drinks are made to order. The location is new and bright. Very clean and inviting. They also have an outdoor area to sit and relax.

    New solid matcha spot in Buena Park with creative flavors and a dessert forward menu! I love that the interior is so bright with the tall windows, staff is kind and helpful with guiding customers through the menu. In terms of the flavor, their matcha tea itself is alright. I'd say their drinks are comparable to the quality of drinks from matcha maiko. As I say, it's very dessert forward versus a specialized matcha where you can distinguish the different factors that play in matcha, if floral, astringent, umami, etc. the variations drown out the tea itself.. BUT, your preference is towards the fun flavors, it's a great place to check out! I ordered their Matcha Duo Warabi Mochi and their Crème Brûlée Matcha! Both yummy

    Found your new cozy matcha spot you are gonna fall in love with! It's called De Matcha located in the plaza where Zion Market is in Buena Park. These are matcha veterans because this is their 3rd location and have perfected their matcha and hojicha drinks. If you enjoy a fruity bottom matcha with a matcha cold foam/cream top, consider any of their matcha duos. The fruit based drinks are made with real fruit and you can taste it. I'm also in love with their cream brulee matcha latte because I love a crunchy top. For refreshing matcha drink, consider their tonics. It's a right amount of sweetness and crisp of carbonation. If you past your matcha phase and leveled up to hojicha, consider their black sesame hojicha latte. Next to the register, can you see what's churning? It's gelato! It has 2 flavors at the moment of matcha and black sesame. The flavors are very rich and silky. It's sooo good! When you order a gelato, there are jellies on the bottom and mochi on top! Niceeeee surprises.

    I was craving matcha and this spot fulfilled my craving. Their strawberry matcha gelato was quite enjoyable. The gelato melted a bit too fast, but the taste was good and the toppings was yummy. I really enjoyed the tea jelly that it came it. I would order it again. It was perfect for the hot weather. They do a good job with the presentation. I also tried the banana Hojicha and crème brûlée matcha latte and tiramisu matcha latte. My favorite would be the crème brûlée one. Hojicha was good but now that I tried it with the banana, I prefer banana with matcha instead. Service was good. I like the modern decor of this spot. If you're in the mood for matcha, this is a great choice.

    We loved this local matcha shop. They had so many options to choose from. We wanted to get multiple drinks each but thought that might just be excessive. The place was pretty busy but the service was quick and prompt. The spot was beautifully, modernly decorated. It is a small shop but would be a great to do some work. The matcha was flavorful and did not taste artificial. It had deep, earthy flavors that tasted so authentic. I look forward to coming back and trying their hojicha options.

    Thank you De Matcha for my delicious banana matcha today. Your sitting area is small, cozy, and very clean. Thank you for having a nice variety of matcha drinks which are my favorite. The matcha maker today was very kind and helpful in assisting me with my choice. Can't wait to come back and try the strawberry and/or mango matcha next with my nieces who love matcha just as much as I do.

    We ordered the brown sugar matcha latte and strawberry matcha latte. Both tasted pretty good, and they have so many different options to choose from! It's a little pricey compared with other cafes in Buena Park. Drinks start around $7. Still, it's definitely a good place to grab some drinks and dessert after dinner or something like that. They have a couple of seats, but not a lot, so it's probably better for takeout.

    We got the peach matcha, matcha lychee, and matcha gelato. Overall, there were definitely some hits and misses, but I'd come back to try more of the menu. The peach matcha wasn't really for me. There was a little too much milk and I could barely taste the matcha, so it ended up tasting more like a milky peach drink. The matcha lychee, on the other hand, was really good. I've never had a matcha refresher before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but this one surprised me. The lychee juice is house-made and pairs really well with the matcha. I'd honestly come back for this drink alone. For gelato, they only had matcha strawberry and regular matcha when we went. I got the matcha and it was super good! I especially loved the tea jelly and little waffle pieces that came with it. The shop itself is small and cute and seems like a nice little spot to study. Excited to come back and try more of their menu!

    double matcha and matcha with ube
    Soohyun K.

    De Matcha has a really good Double Matcha! Compared to other matcha places, I also like that the cup size is bigger, so it feels like a better value. The location is super convenient since it's right by Zion Market, and there's plenty of parking. Definitely a nice spot to stop by if you're craving matcha!

    Strawberry matcha duo and warabi matcha duo
    Micayla N.

    I was so excited to see De Matcha open in OC!! We got the strawberry matcha duo and the warabi matcha duo, and both were really good. You can tell they use real fruit in their strawberry puree because there are still chunks of strawberry in it. The mochi pieces that came with the warabi matcha duo were soft and chewy and paired well when dipped into the matcha cream top. The matcha had a strong and deep flavor, but the drink was a little on the milky side. The sweetness was well-balanced and not too sweet on both drinks, although there is cane syrup available to add if needed. They also have gelato here, which I would definitely want to come back to try! The store is small but very cute, clean, and aesthetic. There is limited seating inside, but they do have tables and chairs outside. They also have free wifi, and would be a good place to study or work! It's located in a big plaza with plenty of parking available. The staff were nice and friendly, and service was quick.

    Yuzu matcha tonic
    Rhyu O.

    Self order kiosk makes it really easy. I typically go for yuzu tonics which aren't always served at matcha cafes, so it was nice that they did have one. Was quick even though it was busy & it had a chill, almost homey vibe.

    Banana Matcha Peach Matcha
    Me Is K.

    im so obsessed with this place!!!! Banana matcha was so good cuz they use a real banana, so its not that overly sweet syrupy and artificial banana flavor-- literally makes all the difference!! The foams on top make it even better not too sweet, so the matcha flavor comes thru. but they have a little cane sugar pump on the side for u to adjust ur sweetness after which I FREAKING LOVE!!! It's quite small inside, w only 3 tables so finding a table to study in here might be difficult. Lots of outdoor tables tho. I ordered on kiosk but the ppl there r kind :))

    Matcha Coconut Cloud
    Marina S.

    The variety of matcha drinks they offer is amazing! They use actual bananas to puree into the drinks. The coconut cloud is very refreshing. The pistachio could be nuttier and more prominent. Their hojicha is really amazing too. Worth a try

They have a decent amount of indoor seating, and a cute outdoor side patio nestled in between the businesses. Since it was over 100 degrees outside today, we stuck to the inside. I tried the Banana Bread Latte off of their seasonal menu, and my partner opted for a black sesame latte. As far as lattes go it was pretty solid! The coffee had a great taste, and my banana bread latte perfectly balanced the cinnamon and banana flavor. The black sesame latte also had a great flavor as well. I can't speak to much else of their menu, but they have a wide range of options from matcha, to other non espresso options. The service was quick, and the baristas were friendly enough.

They don't offer house-made syrups, and the pumpkin spice latte tasted pretty artificial to me. They do have really creamy crème tops, which was a nice touch! The baristas were very kind and were nice enough to switch my drink to a Spanish latte, which was much better. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the coffee wasn't quite good enough for me to make the trip back

It's very connected with the larger, local food landscape and is a solid option for a light, soft dessert after a big hearty meal. My friends and I actually came here after eating at DOOKKI Korean restaurant, only 5 mins away, and it was a great call! We ordered the yogurt berry bingsoo and Oreo bingsoo; We loved both! The two flavors were great, safe options for everyone--but Sul & Beans also has more niche choices like their earl grey and black sesame bingsoos. They also offer toast desserts and I even saw taiyaki on the menu! I would definitely recommend coming by once in a while with friends if you love to eat in Buena Park or Fullerton!

I purchased their smallest bag of walnut pastries and a small size of their Coco Red Bean Shaved Ice. The smallest bag of walnuts is 10 pieces of their cocohodo. They are red bean filled with one walnut in each pastry. They're not too sweet and came out hot to enjoy. If you love red bean and walnuts then you'll enjoy it. They are great with tea. The coco red bean though wasn't what I expected. The shaved ice isn't as soft as bingsoo. It's more like American shaved ice texture. It had red beans, condense milk, mochi balls, walnut shavings, and a tiny scoop of vanilla ice. I appreciate that it wasn't too sweet but it was pretty basic. Nothing crazy good about it. The girl at the counter was really nice and answered all my questions. The food came out fairly quick. Everything was very affordable. I would definitely be back to get more cocohodos. I love that you can get them to eat or they have boxes to gift as well. And they even have other desserts and a full drink menu which includes coffees, matcha, teas, and even smoothies. The inside of this place is casual and clean with plenty of tables and chairs to enjoy your treat.

I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.
