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.

Such a cute spot, it's bright and welcoming. The staff and the service is amazing. I highly recommend the hojicha latte, which is my favorite tea blend. It captures the perfect nutty, smooth and toasty flavor. To take it up a notch order the hojicha milk pudding dessert and add it to the latte, you won't regret it :) Can't wait to come back and try other drinks. read more
New matcha spot in Berkeley with a large selection of matcha drinks! Stopped by Eight Grams Matcha yesterday during their Soft Opening and got to try 3 of their drinks. We tried their 8 Grams Einspanner, Golden Banana Matcha Latte, and Coconut Matcha Latte - all less sweet and with their standard Kiso/house blend. All 3 drinks had a subtle matcha flavor and were all very velvety and smooth (I'd say it'd be good for those who say matcha tastes too much like grass). Something cool about this spot is that they offer the option to choose what type of matcha powder you want in your drink. Their options are 1) Kiso/house blend, 2) Sabi/bright blend, and 3) Haku/balanced blend (Sabi has a +$0.25, while Haku has a +$0.50 extra charge). They have a map of each powder's flavor profile, making it easier for people to order based off their flavor preferences (different levels of umami, tea aroma, astrigency, creaminess, and bitterness). We stuck with their Kiso blend because it doesn't come with extra charge, and found the matcha to be pretty smooth but not be as strong as I would like (this is based off of my personal preferences, but I would prefer other matchas I've had in Berkeley for this reason). I've heard that the other blends have a much stronger profile, so I'd love to try the other blends next time! They also have the option of whole milk and oat milk (+$1) for milk options ~ for my lactose-intolerant friends. I ordered ahead of time on Snackpass and noticed my points from the previous store RareTea were able to be used to get certain discounts on the drinks. I also came at a convenient time where they were passing out their "test-run" desserts, and the owners were nice enough to have us try them for free. We got to try their Matcha Pudding and Hojicha Tart! Not sure if they'll end up on the menu, but absolutely loved the enthusiasm the owners had in allowing us to try their desserts. The ambiance is cute and modern, with a few tables to sit at and enjoy your drinks. Overall, great new spot I'd say is worth checking out. I'll be back to try more drinks as well! read more

8 Grams Matcha is such a cute little spot. We tried the honeycomb matcha latte and they literally add real honeycomb, which is fun and unique, but I would not mix the entire honeycomb in because drinking the wax bits was a little annoying. The matcha itself was really good though. We also ordered the matcha einspanner and both drinks were a solid 8.5 out of 10. I would get them exactly as they come. They also offered samples of their other matcha blends and everything we tried was so yummy. I will definitely be back. It is super close to campus, adorable inside, and the staff were genuinely so sweet and welcoming. Such a nice spot for a cozy matcha break. read more

Eight Grams is by far my favorite matcha place in Berkeley!! With three different matcha blends to choose from AND hojicha, it's hard to beat!! My favorite is the 8 grams einspanner and the double matcha. They have an open concept space and it's super cute. You can order on the tablet stands and drinks come out super fast! Give it a try if you're in the area. read more

I LOVE 8 grams. I wish they had a bigger space so more people can sit and study but even so there's about 5 or 6 tables each with 2-3 chairs each. I have gone on my own then brought friends and they each loved what they ordered as well! I personally have tried only their house blend. I ordered a rose matcha, lavender matcha, honeycomb matcha and the banana matcha. I am saddened that the banana matcha is made with artificial syrup giving it that laffy taffy taste, however I still enjoyed the drink! I even went for their giveaway and got a free totebag! I was wishing that I won the free matcha for a year, because believe me, I will be coming back here often!! I highly recommend their matcha with mochi as well. Their drinks are the perfect blend of matcha flavor, sweetness and creaminess read more

i ordered the double matcha latte & what disappointed me a little was the extra charge to choose your matcha blend! i was excited to try different blends, but their house blend nonetheless was still very strong, especially with the matcha cream top. they do charge extra for alternative milk (+$1 for oat milk). service was super quick, and they had 3 ordering kiosks available. the store itself was really cute and had plenty of tables available. overall, i'd come back but it's definitely at a higher price point. read more

I got the honeycomb matcha and it was pretty good. I got it less sweet and I do think it was still a tad too sweet, but still enjoyable. Ordered at the kiosk and the drinks came out fast. read more

The lavender matcha was surprisingly good, and it tasted unique because of the lavender flavor. It didn't overpower the matcha flavor, and I could taste both flavors. I've also had the honeycomb matcha before, but I did not like it very much. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and even though it was busy, the service was impressively fast. The person who took our order was incredibly sweet and super knowledgeable. She gave us great recommendations and made the whole experience feel welcoming. You can order either at the counter or on the screen, which makes things really convenient. We tried the honeycomb matcha, strawberry matcha, golden banana matcha, and the hojicha latte, and every single drink was amazing. You can genuinely taste the high quality of the matcha, smooth, well balanced, and not bitter at all. On top of that, the space itself is beautiful and clean. I can't wait to come back and try the other drinks on the menu! read more

this matcha shop is at the heart of berkeley -- in the bustling streets. finding parking will be quite hard -- reason for the dislike of their location. but if you're in the area, give this place a try. it's on the sweeter side, if you're into that. service was fast. received my order in under 10 minutes even with quite a long queue. ordered a vanilla einspanner coffee, matcha einspanner, and honeycomb latte. nothing too special about them. good drinks! the place is quite small; there are only a few tables available. today -- it was packed. so wasn't able to snag a table. read more

I ordered two drinks the matcha einspanner and the matcha with honey both with less sugar. I really liked how creamy the matcha einspanner was and how they give you a little spoonful of honeycomb to mix into the matcha with honey. I also tried their hojicha another time and it was really good. I would definitely come back again for it. read more

Got to try this new spot that just opened up, the atmosphere is nice but pretty crowded since it's new and all. I got the honeycomb matcha which was good (less sweet) the matcha was smooth and gentle, I prefer a stronger matcha taste but this was pretty good. They have good customization and even let you pick what blend you want for your matcha. Hope to come back soon and give the other blends a shot read more
