I've heard a bit about this matcha spot from influencer reels, and I tried it out when I was in the Berkeley area for work. I was highly intrigued by their Matcha Cheesecake Latte, given that's not something I see at other matcha spots. The Matcha Cheesecake Latte ended up not being just ok in the end. I got it with their house blend of matcha (the others were an up charge). Despite the house blend having the least bitterness of their 5 blends, I kept getting a bitter aftertaste after each sip (the drink was at 75% sweet as well!). Furthermore, the cheesecake flavor felt quite lacking throughout. I was getting more flavor from the graham cracker crumbles than the cheesecake layer itself. At $8.50 for this, I'd honestly go to another matcha spot given there's plenty of matcha options that have either better quality or lower price options out there.
I had the pleasure of visiting Eight Grams Matcha with my dear friend, and I am counting down the days until I can return. The matcha menu is expansive; I had difficulty choosing solely one drink because there were great options to choose ranging from lavender to guava. My banana matcha was scrumptious, not cloying or bitter nor heavy on the ice, which I truly appreciate as girl who sips and takes her time with drinks. The space is lively with students and locals. You order at the kiosk and get your drinks at the bar. There is paid, metered parking around the perimeter and residential parking, if you are ok walking. Overall, a great matcha spot in the Bay Area!!
love the zen inspired decor and how you can choose from 6 blends! we tried the Matcha Cheesecake Latte and Double Matcha Latte and loved them both. the former is definitely more of a dessert, a very thick and rich drink. the latter was perfect for me, the cream was subtly sweet and paired well with the creamy and umami kiso blend. we ordered 25% sweet for both, and will definitely come back to try others!
Whenever I'm in Berkeley, a trip to 8 Grams Matcha is a must! It's hands down my favorite in the Bay. Literally across the street from the Cal bookstore, there's a camps lot across the street and plenty of parking options (both Paris and free) nearby. The space is modern and super cute! The staff is always super friendly- something that's hard to find these days. But what makes 8 Grams the best is the quality of their drinks and matcha. So, SO good! I always upgrade to the best and it never disappoints. The seasonal selections are always amazing, and the lychee guava has been my absolute favorite all summer long! If you're looking for matcha near the UC Berkeley campus, 8 Grams is number one!
On a search a matcha to places I haven't tried had brought me to Bancroft in Berkeley. I usually do not travel for matcha since I been spoiled with matcha in SF for Don Juan de la matcha. Having so many places to go in SF I decided to try a place I got recommendation to try in Berkeley which just opened this year in 2026. On a Summer stroll on Bancroft with the sun out I decided to get something refreshing to drink. For Don Juan de la Matcha is about pure matcha and Eight grams Matcha has many different flavors of it. They have 8 Grams Einspänner, Coconut Matcha Smoothie, and the Matcha Cheesecake Latte . They also have the Rose Matcha and the purple colored Lavender Matcha. I decided to try the Honeycomb Matcha. It was not too sweet but with honey it was delicious and added some sweetness. A good pure mix of matcha and honey. The matcha was an absolute angel with a sweet and earthy taste. A good place to grab matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha. Go to Matcha called "8 gram"and Don Juan de la Matcha is who "I am "and this is my new matcha "jam" it isn't bitter like some in SF on "instagram" Eight Grams is where one "goes"to get matcha with the flavor of a "rose"when it comes to the purple matcha the lavender is aromatic to the "nose" and grab matcha for which is well "compose"
This is my sister and fiancé's favorite matcha spot and we finally got to give it a try! We tried the double matcha, golden banana, strawberry matcha, and one that I'll butcher the name. The inside vibe was crazier than I anticipate it usually being, as it was move in weekend for UC Berkeley. But even with that, we were able to order at a kiosk shortly and have our drinks out not after long. We did all get upgrades to our matcha blend instead of getting the house. This does make it quite pricey, which is tough because I feel like I'm stuck getting that blend now, but it was really good matcha. The golden banana and the strawberry were my two favorites. I hope to come back and try more, especially the honeycomb!
The seasonal guava lychee matcha is a refreshing drink if you're looking for a caffeine boost that doesn't have milk. The guava flavor is more noticeable than the lychee, and overall the fruity flavors mask the flavor of the matcha. Appreciate how the sugar and ice levels are adjustable
Having lived in San Jose and San Francisco, I've been on the other side of the bay and tried everything south to north. I think eight grams is #1 or #2 in the east bay. It's between this place and Yume Nori. I think I would choose this place due to size, quality, and consistency. You really get bang for your buck, high quality drink, fast and efficient service, and it's cute. 10/10 this is my go to matcha spot and I drive just to get my fix!
Came with a friend on a weekday, we found meter parking around the corner from the shop. There were 3 devices to input your order. There was also a order guide above the devices to tell the customer a little bit about each drink. There was also another display of the different kinds of matcha blends that you could choose for your matcha drink. I decided to try the Einspanner with kuro blend since I like my matcha to have more depth. I had it 75% sweetened since that was recommended. After ordering and paying, we only waited a few minutes before our drinks were ready. I feel the matcha did have depth to it. The house cream that was on top was a little too rich for me. I wonder how the other matcha types would taste in a latte.
I got it via Uber Eats. So I didn't get my drink right away but through delivery wow it's good. The flavor withheld throughout the delivery. It's not too sweet or milky. It's literally just right. Now I can't wait to actually go to the cafe and the matcha in real time. I ordered a double match latte and so far so good.
Eight Grams is a winner in my eyes! With all the matcha spots in Berkeley, this is definitely a top contender: great matcha quality, offerings, and efficient service. I came to Eight Grams on a weekday morning. It wasn't busy and was really quaint inside. The cafe is bright, minimal, and modern. Not much decor or ambiance, but more of a chill place to hang out with friends. Ordering is done on the tablets, and you get your drink after. I decided to place my order in advance. I chose the seasonal Pink Guava Matcha and got the Golden Banana Matcha for my friend. For the matchas, you can choose or upgrade your matcha blend, which is neat! You can also adjust the sweetness and ice level, and choose your milk option. I went for the house blend and Oat Milk. My drink was superb! The matcha was bright and of great quality. Loved how the guava shone through and had a nice sweetness. My friend enjoyed her drink! I can't wait to come back. If you're a matcha lover, Eight Grams Matcha is worth a visit. Being across Cal, it's easily accessible by walking or public transportation. Find them off Bancroft Way with garage or street parking nearby.
My husband went to Eight Grams Matcha three times within about a month or so. We don't even live close by, so it's worth the drive for us. We appreciate when our matcha drinks are more matcha-y than milky. The Golden Banana Matcha and Matcha Einspanner are both tasty, but a bit on the sweeter side. I would love it even more if I can adjust the sweetness level down just a notch. I think my go-to drink will be the Double Matcha Latte. It's the perfect balance of matcha and sweetness level for me. The Pink Guava Matcha is part of a limited series, which I really enjoyed. It's refreshing and the guava isn't too overpowering nor too subtle. It's be dangerous if we lived closer. We'd probably come here once a week!!
Real matcha and expensive. With alternative milk and any extra toppings, you're looking at a $10+!! While my first drink didn't hit, when I ordered again for delivery, it was better. But also $16 (including delivery fee). The second order I got was strawberry matcha with oat milk and mochi. Mochi was like a pudding at the bottom. It's good quality matcha and I like that they offer three different kinds. The overall drink was kind of mid for the hefty price tag, imo.

I came here after dinner with a friend. It is conveniently located on Bancroft. Ordering is a self serve kiosk. The inside was spacious and there are a couple of tables for people who want to do some work or catch up with a friend. I came around 6:30pm and there was no line. The drinks came out quick as well. I ordered the matcha einspanner and my friend got the double matcha. I really appreciated how you could pick type of matcha and there was a chart that is helpful in deciding which type to get. The matcha einspanner was definitely a highlight! The cream on top was super rich and the matcha was strong but not too over powering. I tried my friend's double matcha but it was unfortunately on the more milkier side. Overall, I think that this is a solid matcha place and would recommend the matcha einspanner. I'd want to come back to try some of the seasonal drinks! read more
Super tasty! Around UC Berkeley campus, there is no shortage of matcha. It seems like every day there is a new spot opening up nearby; Eight Grams being one of them. When my usual spot around the corner was sold out of the drink I wanted, I walked a few feet to try Eight Grams. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Pink Guava Matcha. My friends ordered the Honeycomb Matcha Latte and the Hojicha Latte. The Pink Guava was okay. I think I would have prefered it in the refresher style. To me, the guava flavor did not blend well with the milkiness of the matcha latte. The novelty of the Honeycomb Matcha Latte was cool. They were quite generous with the honeycomb - almost too much so. It was extremely sweet that it was almost hard to drink. The Hojicha Latte, however, was insanely good. The hojicha had a very rich and robust flavor with just the right amount of sweetness. I actually wished that I had ordered this drink for myself. The renovation of this space is very nice. It has a very modern but tranquil vibe. I appreciate them having a display with the different matcha blends. Although I am not familiar at all with the differences between them, it is nice for those that care about those things. I was shocked at how quickly all the drinks came out. As soon as we placed our orders on the screens, they were done. Even on a busy day, they produced the drinks quickly and with quality. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu! read more

This place is cool clean and FAST. I had my order in under five minutes easily. The Matcha was also delicious I don't know how to describe it other than it tasted really authentic. A good amount of caffeine too compared to most matcha places. Pretty straightforward ordered my drink and got it right away. read more

Now that school is out and Berkeley is a bit empty I finally got a chance to visit Eight Grams! I got the guava series matcha latte with vanilla foam and it was so good. Refreshing and handwhisked, plus matcha sprinkle on top all combined perfectly in my mouth. I got my mom the coconut water and matcha and she said it was so refreshing. The parking can be difficult but nearby streets and paid parking are available, I recommend coming early in a Sunday so that you don't have to pay for parking. We went at 10am and it wasn't too busy but an hour later the crowd started trickling in. Workers are really nice, they have kiosks but I did not see any bathrooms. Add eight grams to your list! read more
My friend and I were in Berkeley before going to the Ariana Grande concert and we wanted a little sweet treat! I looked on Yelp and saw this place had good reviews and decided to try. It's right in front of UC Berkeley. We parked at the parking garage next to the school and walked over there. The place inside is small but enough tables and chairs. Makes it a nice cafe study spots for students. And the lighting in there was nice too. My friend and I ordered from the self ordering kiosk and we waited about 5 mins for our drinks. I got the golden banana matcha and my friend got the matcha cheesecake latte. Both were really good, for the matcha cheesecake one though the cheesecake is kinda thick so make sure to really stir the drink. Overall I recommend!! read more
I got the double matcha. I liked the short line and quick turnaround time. There are about 5-6 tables in the shop if you wanted to sit or hang out with friends. I'm a matcha fiend so I LOVE trying new matcha places. The double matcha was a let down because it was more milk than matcha. I'm someone who likes a strong matcha flavor especially if I'm ordering a double. I'll give this place another shot next time because they have different matcha options (at an extra cost). I only tried their house blend. read more
Came by with another friend and tried their 8 gram einspanner which is their matcha latte served with house cream - very rich and creamy! Ordering was pretty easy as they had 2-3 kiosks. Very conveniently located across from campus and a couple small tables for seating. Parking is not great here but maybe about 10-15 minute walk from bart? read more
Right across from the hustle and bustle of the famous UC Berkeley campus, this location is perfect for meeting up with friends, studying, and enjoying a lil pick-me-up matcha! This location is clean, minimalist, and has plenty of seating. They have about 4 kiosks to place orders and offer a wide range of matcha and coffee drinks. One feature uniquely distinct to Eight Grams is they offer four different blends of matcha -- kiso (house blend), sabai (bright blend), haku (balanced blend), and kuro (reserve blend). I ordered the Lychee Guava Refresher with the kuro (reserve blend) which was about $1.25 extra. This matcha blend is on the floral side and has a more delicate, tea forward flavor. I absolutely LOVED my drink.. 5/5! The matcha was super refreshing, very smooth, fruity, floral, umami, and earthy (in the best way possible). The perfect drink to cool off after record shopping and sonny angel hunting downtown. I will definitely be coming back to this location and am already set on trying their Cheesecake Matcha Latte next time! read more
one of the few times I've had hojicha, but this place did not disappoint. very cute cafe right in front of Cal. Was a bit crowded on a Saturday afternoon but managed to find seating. Modern/minimalist interior. ordered on a kiosk and drinks were out in less than 10 mins. - Hojicha Latte 5/5: tasted very earthy with the perfect amount of sweetness (no adjustments). - Honeycomb Latte 4/5: matcha was leaning towards the bitter side. It was hard to mix in the honeycomb/eat it on its own. Would probably try a diff matcha next time. All in all would come back to this cafe, street parking right in front, or you can walk from downtown Berkley. read more

Can I just I'm obsessed with the banana matcha .... Wthek?!? This is the only banana matcha drink that made my eyes big and my mouth wanting more. I wish I lived closer.. Came here during a game day at Berkeley so it was hard to get around since there's so many people walking. They made the drinks really quick for the amount of people that ordered so I was impressed. All my friends liked their drink too! I want to come back and try the guava series but the banana matcha is just too good to not order read more
A day with friends in Berkeley and our first stop was Eight Grams Matcha. As in its name, this spot has various matcha drink offerings. The shop is modern, bright, clean, with a wall display of tea cups. Their menu consists of eight drinks that are in four categories, bold & intense, creamy & elevated, creamy & smooth, and bright & refreshing. They also had three seasonal drinks that incorporated lychee and pink guava. You order on tablets and you pickup your order when your number is called and texted to you. There are many tables in the shop for you to enjoy your drink. I ordered the Golden Banana Matcha. When ordering, you select your level of sweetness, ice, and milk type. You can taste the matcha with the blended bananas in it. It has just the right sweetness for me. I loved my drink and will be back to try another one of their offerings. read more
How does one manage to make 8 grams of matcha disappear?! Hide it with guava and lychee, I guess... I was so excited to try this matcha that I made a special trip to Berkeley and was super impressed by the beautiful interior and the pretty pink marketing. The menu looks very interesting and self-order system allows different types of matcha to be selected (but lacked description to differentiate). I ordered the seasonal lychee guava refresher less sweet - it was beautifully presented and quickly made - but it was incredibly unbalanced and too sweet - if it weren't so green, I wouldn't even know there was matcha in it! Guava overwhelmed both matcha and lychee. Overall, super disappointed. Only have it 3 stars for the pretty interior and good service but drink was 1/5 for me. read more

The matcha flavor actually comes through with the drinks here. The recommended (75%) sweet was perfect for me. The regular matcha was my favorite. The lychee had a strong lychee and matcha flavor - if you like lychee you would enjoy. The banana matcha was a little too artificial for my liking. There was a bit of astringency due to the banana strings likely being mixed into the banana "sauce" or syrup. The drinks came out quickly. It's a very cute cafe with a couple of tables for friends to hang out and chat, but no outlets for long study sessions. read more

Tried out 8 grams and had their new drink! I ordered the guava matcha and it was refreshing and sweet. I ordered the regular sugar just because I didn't know how sweet their drinks got and I would say it was pretty well balanced. When you walk in there's multiple kiosks to order from but it's a pretty popular spot so if you're here to study I think it would be a bit hard to find a spot to set up. The drink to me tasted like the Chinese guava candy and matcha combined. Not a bad combination, but it wasn't the guava taste that I was personally expecting. Overall it wasn't bad. Definitely would come back to try other menu items. read more
I really wanted to like 8 Grams, but was incredibly disappointed by their drinks. Based on the cashier's recommendation, I ordered their 8 Grams Einspänner with the Kiso house blend. The drink was overwhelmingly sweet and hindered the velvety matcha flavor from coming out. While it does seem quite popular, I would only recommend to those who like a hint of matcha, but prefer their drinks more dessert-tasting. read more
If you like sweet drinks, you'll like this place. If you actually enjoy matcha, you won't be a fan. I got the banana matcha and my husband got the strawberry matcha. Neither of us could taste any hint of matcha in either of our drinks. It basically tasted like strawberry/banana flavored milk and definitely wasn't worth paying $8+ especially when we had to pay extra for the Haku blend, which is supposed to have a "deep umami" flavor. The store itself is pretty but small and cramped. They had two kiosks for ordering and service was fairly quick despite how busy it seemed. read more
This cute exquisite matcha spot was within my Bay Area reach. While Elaichi lives up for tasty cardamom drinks and pastries, Eight Grams Matcha lives up for green tea drinks and sweets. I could hardly wait to go back if I have another rare opportunity to visit! First off, I'm relieved to see that cash was accepted. Before purchasing, I noticed there four green tea powder blends: Kiso (good for creaminess), Sabi (brightest of the bunch), Haku (slightly higher on the umami side), and Kuro (the most aromatic). Since I'm deeply crazy for umami, I chose the Haku Blend! And when I ordered the Haku Blend Lychee Matchacano, noticed the deep dark jade dew shade towards the top. Swirl the contents, sip, and oishii!! The umami of the Haku Blend that meets the half sweetness of lychee juice, it's heaven and earth made manifest. I would definitely want to head over to the Taiwanese bubble tea shop that was at the corner of Bancroft, but Eight Grams Matcha had won my attention the most. I'm sure people from all walks of life are welcome to try. It's good to know what I like to drink on a warm hot sunny day. read more
Another matcha spot has arrived in Berkeley, and this one is pretty solid! Service was super fast (my drink arrived in 5 minutes, maybe even less) and that's for a Saturday afternoon. There's not too much seating and it gets packed quickly. Parking is a struggle (normal for the area), so know that before you visit! I ordered the 8 grams einspanner with kuro and the brown sugar matcha with house blend kiso. Both were delicious but definitely lean on the dessert matcha side, so the matcha flavor was pretty mild. read more

The shop was located very centrally to Berkeley's campus and had cute decor inside! I appreciated the multiple kiosks to order and the wide variety of specialty matchas. Service was also really fast as I got two drinks less than ten minutes after ordering. Although there's not a lot of seating, it's a great spot to pick up matcha! I really enjoyed the brown sugar matcha as the matcha and brown sugar melded well together. Less sugar was also the perfect amount of sugar for me. Would definitely come back to try the other drinks! read more

don't tell the other matcha places but this one is probs my fav but only because of the rose matcha latte, it's so smooth!!! I don't really love matcha on its own but when added with other flavors, it tastes good to me. it also wasn't overwhelmingly sweet! I love it!!!! It's crazy that matcha is sold up and down the block; seems to be the newest trend that everyone is lining up for. I hope it sticks around though!!! there's just so much competition now between that, de Matcha, chi cha san chen and YiFang-- all within walking distance from each other. can't wait to try the rose matcha again!!! read more

I saw eight grams matcha on an instagram reel and decided to try them. If you do visit this place, parking can be east but sometimes it's not. But given it is downtown Berkeley it definitely wasn't easy to find parking so just keep that in mind. First impression when I walked in, it was very simple. They had like a photo area set up on the left corner where they kind of make you feel like you're in japan I guess was the goal for this. We didn't take photos cause there was a bunch of college kids who spent over 30 minutes just to get the right photo. I personally think the place is a little bit tight. As much as I would like for this to be a sit down cafe where you do homework and what, I just don't think it's feasible for that since there's so many people going in and out and everyone is moving around you since it's a tight space. You order on a kiosk, and it was pretty self explanatory. We ordered the Lavander matcha, banana matcha and matcha pudding. I wasn't a big fan of the pudding, there was something about the texture I did not like. The taste was okay as well. Their drinks is where it's really at though. My boyfriend loves banana and he fell in love with the banana matcha and ever since he decided to try banana matcha every where else we would go. I ordered the Lavender matcha and also enjoyed the drink. It was too sweet at all. I would like for it to have more lavender since matcha can be very overpowering. The lavender was definitely very subtle but I still enjoyed the drink and would get it again. I would say a must try matcha place. They have good quality matcha and they have a good amount of flavor selections. read more
There are so many matcha spots near campus now, and I have made it my mission to try them all. Eight Grams Matcha, one of the newest, has a very sleek and modern ambiance - ceramic matcha dishes are displayed artfully along the wall, and orders are placed on a kiosk. After perusing the menu of matcha drinks, I ordered the honeycomb matcha because that seemed to be the trending beverage of choice (I saw it all over Instagram). Of the three varieties of matcha to choose from, I selected the house blend. There was a long queue of orders ahead of me, yet the team managed to prepare my drink in under five minutes. I took my drink to-go but would have stayed to enjoy my beverage at the cafe if I didn't have to rush to class. The honey matcha was definitely photogenic - the distinct green and white layers slowly fused together after slowly stirring in the honeycomb.The matcha itself, as many others have noted in their reviews, had a very mild flavor. My drink in particular tasted mainly like honey and milk, and the sweet, floral notes of the honey nearly overshadowed the delicate flavor of the matcha. Additionally, I may have consumed my drink too slowly because bits of the waxy honeycomb started to end up in my drink. It's awesome to have so many matcha spots near campus - and each have a unique vibe - so I'm sure I'll be back the next time I need a pick-me-up before class. read more
Matcha run at eight grams matcha. There were so many drinks to choose from I didn't know what to try. I ended up getting a guava matcha. At first I was hesitant because I didn't want the guava to be too overpowering but the drink was a pleasant surprise. I did 50% sweet and it was a little too sweet for me. You're able to choose your sweetness, matcha type, milk type and ice levels. Next time I'll go with a classic matcha. There is limited seating indoors. Parking is street parking/pay meter parking. Order is on a kiosk iPad. Service was quick. read more
We thought this place was squarely in the OK column. I got the guava matcha latte, my wife got the banana matcha latte and my kid got the pink coco. He really liked his, but we thought all of ours were just ok. The people working there were cool and the restaurant was very zen looking, but I just wish the drinks were better. read more
