    Lychee Guava Refresher, Honeycomb Coffee Latte
    Cailey A.

    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!

    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

    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

    Eight Grams has been on my radar, as I've been curious to try the matcha in East Bay and compare to the matcha scene popping off in San Francisco. I got the strawberry guava matcha for something a lil tangy but also sweet. While I opted for less sweet, since I figured the guava would be pretty sweet already, I still found the drink a bit too sweet even after blending the fruit puree with the matcha. The matcha itself was definitely high quality though, so I'm not deterred at all from coming again. I'd just opt for a non-sweet or even less sweet drink next time. Also really liked the minimalistic zen interior decor. In addition to the tables for studying, there's a nice little alcove with a bench next to a bonsai tree, which the staff confirmed we could sit in. Definitely feels like the VIP section out of the entire café.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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 einspanner

    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

    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!!!

    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 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.

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.

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!
