    honeycomb matcha latte
    Noe C.

    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.

    Golden Banana Matcha
    Jeankaylyn E.

    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

    8 Grams Einspnner
    Anh H.

    The BEST matcha eispanner I have ever had. not too sweet and milky which I find to be very common with eispanners because of the extra cream. The color speaks for itself and I like how it wasn't too heavy. Decent amount of seating and great ambiance. Drinks came out very quickly as well considering how many people were in front of us. Parking of course is always tricky in Berkeley but this place was genuinely worth the 1 hour drive I did with my friends at 8 PM. Super big perk that they close 10 pm too!!

    Lychee Guava Refresher
    Win L.

    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.

    each to their own but be real, truthfully i would never come back and beyond disappointed lmao i will give them credit for a clean looking interior, reasonable waittime and drink presentations but not advertising themselves as a place that specializes in matcha friend and i ordered the golden banana matcha and machi matcha. for a place thats called 8 grams, the drinks did not taste like 8 grams worth let alone like matcha. we did the recommended sweetness and whatever sweetners they added simply overpowered the drink. we struggled to find mochi bits in the machi matcha drink and the banana drink itself was too sweet and tasted like a green colored banana milk. matcha pretty much tasteless but green in visual. friend observed they prebatch their matcha in bottles if anyone cares abt that we tried, couldnt finish our drinks. but hey, heres a aesthetically pleasing image of the drinks i guess

    Matcha Latte

    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.

    Pink Guava Matcha
    Jennifer L.

    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.

    matcha einspanner
    Sara T.

    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?

    Strawberry matcha and banana matcha
    Kelley N.

    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.

    Iced Haku Blend Lychee Matcha!!!
    Jimmy C.

    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.

    Another great matcha spot in Berkeley. We visited Eight Grams of Matcha. No line, and I love that you can choose your matcha level. We ordered the 8 grams Einspanner and the Golden Banana Matcha. Already excited to come back and explore more of the menu.

    Another Self ordering location next to UC Berkeley campus. I feel like not having customer service or just communicating with the public is weird. But overall I will say they have a nice ambiance with good seating. I ordered the lavender matcha, my daughter got the strawberry matcha. Overall the taste is good, I taste little pieces of the lavender which didn't bother me at all. My daughter enjoyed her strawberry matcha. We're giving it a 4/5!

    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.

    I'm slowly making my way through all of the new matcha cafes in Berkeley. But I fear I might pause…read morebecause Forest Tea Bar has my heart! First off, the vibes are so zen, even if it's extremely busy! I came with my friend, both of us Japanese. It was a nice change of pace being in a cafe like this. It's common in Japan for cafes to be more western, so she was shocked that this cafe was more minimalistic, Asian-inspired, haha. There's bar seating plus indoor and outdoor tables. Most customers are Cal students studying or working, and seats can be limited. Communal seating is communal, and there's seating outside too. The service was great! We sat at the bar so we could watch what was happening. We loved how sweet one of the workers who helped us was. Kind service, and they put time and care into making each drink. Wait times can vary, but it's so worth it! I love any Japanese tea--matcha, hojicha, I'm all there! But I especially loved how they have genmaicha. I got the Genmaicha Latte with Oat Milk. It was perfect, subtle sweetness and roast, and a nice earthy matcha blend. I'd get it again. My friend enjoyed her Hojicha Latte, and they were kind enough to accommodate her request and give us Hojicha Tea as well! Everything was great quality and delicious. Forest Tea Bar is a wonderful cafe in Berkeley to get a matcha or other tea drink. Find them off Shattuck Ave. with street and metered parking around. Looking forward to coming back again and again!

You can taste the effort (and maybe the arm workout too). I think there are only about three staff members making drinks at a time, so if you come during peak hours... yeah, you will be waiting. Patience is part of the menu. If you're not about that waiting life, I highly recommend coming on a weekday before the rush. Trust me, your future self will thank you. Also--no bathrooms and no parking, so plan accordingly. Street parking is your only option, so may the odds be ever in your favor. Overall, I would definitely come back... even if it means circling the block a few times first.

It was an unexpectedly warm day, so I stopped in for an iced caffeinated beverage. I was indecisive when it was my turn to order, so the barista recommended the orange blossom matcha sparkler. This sounded intriguing and refreshing, so I decided to give it a try. My beverage was prepared about two minutes after I ordered it, and I was immediately refreshed after the first sip. The orange blossom flavoring was very subtle and provided just the right amount of sweetness and floral essence to counter the matcha's bitterness. The fizziness made this a perfect drink for a hot day. I've tried Mind Coffee's espresso on a prior visit, and I can now say they succeed in both the coffee and matcha categories.

We ordered an Americano, the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner Latte, and the Sakura Matcha Mindspanner Latte. The presentation was gorgeous, from the cups to the cream. The Sakura Matcha Mindspanner was definitely my favorite all around. The hint of sakura combined with the bold matcha was a very fun flavor experience. I think sadly, in the Earl Gray Matcha Einspanner, the matcha overpowered the earl gray. The flavor was there, but it was extremely subtle (don't get me wrong, I'd definitely get it again). Also, their espresso is unmatched. It really reminded me what a good espresso shot should taste like. The staff here were super friendly right off the bath. Even though there is an ordering kiosk available, they still went out of their way to greet us and let us know that they are there to also take orders and answer questions. I was also a bit bummed that they were sold out of their Orange Blossom Latte. I feel like it would taste like an orange creamsicle. They were very reassuring that it's a regular menu item and that I can hopefully get my hands on one before it sells out for the day next time! I can't wait to see what they come out with next!
