    Isa Matcha was sooo good! I tried the Banana Bread Matcha and it was easily a 10/10. The banana bread flavor paired perfectly with the matcha without taking away from the actual matcha taste. It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect amount of sweetness. I also loved that you can tell they really put care into making their drinks. The matcha tasted fresh and high quality, and the service was great! Definitely one of my favorite matcha spots I've tried in Houston so far. I'll absolutely be back to try more flavors!

    The hours and location were hard to find. I didn't realize the hours were only Friday-Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. I finally found the place. It's inside a studio building that looks like a warehouse or basement. I got the matcha at 1/2 sweetness, and unfortunately, the matcha flavor was very subtle. I tasted more of the milk. I ordered the Malibu Matcha, which is basically a strawberry matcha, and there was barely any strawberry in it. There were little pieces of ground up strawberry, so even the strawberry flavor was subtle. Even after mixing it, I couldn't see any more pink color or pieces of strawberry. I also ordered the Vanilla Bean Matcha, which I knew would be basic. I think if you like sweetness, milky, and not a heavy grassy, umami flavor, you will like the matcha here.

    My first time trying ISA and it was so good. The drinks were the perfect level of sweetness. I loved how rich and fresh the strawberry tasted in the Endless Summer Matcha. The New Yorker was equally delicious and made for the perfect sweet treat, especially with the cookie butter. The only downside was that I placed an online order for pickup and ended up waiting about 30 minutes past the scheduled time. It seems like they prioritize in person orders, so I would recommend just getting in line to order instead. Parking can also be a bit overwhelming, but I did not realize they offer a 10% promotion if you park on the street and walk. The ladies working there were very friendly, and you can tell they are doing their best.

    Finally got to try this spot and Im so happy it's right in my neighborhood at least for the time being! It's a small pop-up next to The Waffle Bus with a few outdoor tables, but it definitely seems like more of a grab and go kind of place. The space is super cute. I love what they've done with the branding and overall vibe. I ordered the vanilla bean matcha and it was honestly so good. The matcha had that really nice vibrant green color and you could still taste the earthy flavor even with the vanilla. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. It seems like a younger crew running things so service might not be great but they've got a solid product and that's what matters. I'll definitely be back!

    Finally got to try Isa Matcha and it lived up to the hype. They have a little counter by The Waffle Bus which was cute. Service was quick and efficient and the employee was really kind. We ordered the iced banana bread coffee and then the New Yorker matcha. The banana bread coffee was good, but I couldn't taste the banana really. I give it a 7.5/10. The cream on top was good. The New Yorker was delicious- had a miso cream on top. Gave it a 9/10. I definitely will be back on a prettier day!

    I out off trying isa matcha for awhile until my friend suggested that we try it. They used to be in eado but have recently relocated to the Montrose area. Apparently you can not park in the parking lot even though they own a space there, you have to find street parking. Line was decently long but it moved fast. They have no indoor space but there are tables and benches available outside. I got the New Yorker, which is a cookie dough matcha with miso. It's supposed to have a sweet and umami like flavor. The matcha was promising with a nice green color, but I thought it was just ok. It was on the diluted side, the matcha flavor wasn't that strong. The cookie butter foam top or whatever they had on top was so good though. I felt like I couldn't really taste any miso though. I think this drink had good overall flavor, but not from the matcha itself

    This cute shop was such a treat. Only open on weekends so be mindful of when you are trying to pop in. I very much enjoyed how pleasant the decor and aesthetic was. The matcha itself was an 8 on a 10 scale. Not too grassy but still deep enough to catch the flavor. They have 6 matcha options which I liked so the line moved quickly and I didn't feel overwhelmed. I got the traditional matcha and the strawberry matcha and they were both great. A bit pricey for an iced beverage though. To be expected in these times though I guess. I will be back. Mostly street parking although there is a parking lot, it just seemed chaotic and I didn't bother.

    Isa's prices weren't bad! It was $8-$8.50 per cup. I got the banana bread matcha and New Yorker matcha. The banana bread was okay the banana flavor was faint and I mostly tasted cinnamon. The New Yorker was the cookie dough miso and omg that one was delicious! Sabrina got something from their summer menu which was a mango matcha. The mango matcha was my least favorite bc it didn't even taste like mango. My friend got their Malibu matcha (strawberry coconut) which was pretty good and had a slight flavor of coconut.

    The whole shop is an outdoor counter! Super cute!

    Came to Isa Matcha on a Saturday morning after seeing some rave reviews! This business is just a counter on the side of the building, behind Waffle Bus. The service was quick and friendly, and surprisingly not too busy at the time I came. I ordered the New Yorker Matcha because it sounded really unique--a cookie dough matcha with some miso flavoring. It was so delicious! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, and I thought the color of the matcha was perfect. My only complaint about Isa Matcha is the price. It is pretty expensive--I paid almost $10 for an average-sized matcha. Because of the price, this place would probably be a treat and not a go-to.

    ​If you're looking for the perfect sip, Isa Matcha is the spot. This was my first time visiting; I was craving matcha but wanted to avoid the overly sweet flavors found at major chains. I found this gem on Google and am so glad I followed my curiosity and taste buds. ​The shop has a stunning New York sidewalk vibe with cute outdoor tables--the perfect location to sit down, read a book, and enjoy the scenery. I highly recommend ordering their latest seasonal creation because they did not miss. The "New Yorker" was incredible, featuring a rich cookie dough syrup and crumbles that kept the drink perfectly balanced and delicioso without being sugary. In this service was excellent. The 3 baristas at the counter we're amazing and delighted to recommend a drink to me. Go get you one!

    Isa Matcha now has a new permanent location! I originally went to their East End location, but as of 12/13/25 they are now more centrally located in Montrose. This new location is connected to the Waffle Bus. I believe the owner's name is Andrea, she's super sweet and all of the staff was very friendly. You can tell how passionate the team is about their new location. Service was on point with all of their drinks made to order. Drink wise, we tried their limited edition horchata matcha, the banana bread matcha, and the New Yorker matcha hot and iced. 10/10 would recommend all of it! The matcha is very high quality, and no matter which flavor you choose all of it was fantastic. They also have espresso available as well if matcha isn't your jam. Next time I'm getting their hojicha for sure. Congratulations on your new space Isa Matcha! This is my favorite matcha spot in Houston and I'll be a regular here without a doubt. Enjoy!

    Love Isa! It's a small business right next to Third Space Studio Pilates, so it's the perfect place to grab a matcha after class. I got the banana bread matcha and it was sooo good :D creamy, earthy, w the perfect amount of sweetness. Since it's a smaller new location with limited staff, the wait can be a little long, but it's completely worth it. Definitely recommend supporting this little local gem!

    Hojicha Matcha- is a roasted a matcha -10/10 my favorite one
    Nicole N.

    Without a doubt, ISA is one of the BEST matcha spots in Houston! I've been coming here religiously for the past few months, and as a true ISA girl, I can confidently say every drink is a 10/10. You can tell they put so much love, care, and attention into every drink they make. The quality of their matcha is unmatched, and it's obvious they use high-quality ingredients. One of my favorite things about ISA is that they're always innovating with fun, seasonal flavors, so there's constantly something new and exciting to try. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to accommodate requests whenever possible. They truly go above and beyond to create a great experience. While they're currently operating from a temporary location, the quality of the drinks has remained exactly the same and that's what keeps me coming back. ISA never misses. My friends and family know that I absolutely love this place DOWN! If you're a matcha lover in Houston, this spot is a MUST-try. 10/10 across the board!

Parking is a bit difficult at times as well from my experience. Cashmere - velvet espresso with caramel, so smooth and a little bit more on the sweeter side but is great! Aoi banana (not pictured) - this is probably my seasonal favorite right now that im hooked on. Matcha banana and its the perfect mix and my group's favorite. Reminds us of the banana milk cans we got back in japan. An absolute delight that ill probably keep getting til they rotate it out Tried their chairoi banana which is the espresso variant of the matcha verison and it's good but I think the matcha mixes much better with the bananas Yuki matcha - white chocolate matcha- I personally liked this one quite a bit but I can see it wouldn't be for everyone. It's quite sweet, think of regular sugar in a normal boba/tea drink. Mixes well with the matcha but I won't lie, the banana verison has me hooked more! Overall I like their coffee here and it's definitely in my coffee rotation so I would recommend it! Its also not far from memorial park so.. a great excuse after a run after melting in the sun

The pandan was sweet as expected but if you've never had pandan that might catch you off guard. The ube was so yummy. Definitely coming back! Worth the wait. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed but got our orders relatively quickly after a short wait. Would maybe recommend more seating? But enough room to stand and wait.

I asked the barista for a recommendation and specifically mentioned that I wanted a coffee that wasn't too sweet. She recommended a drink, and I trusted her suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it was much sweeter than I was expecting. I understand recommendations are subjective, so I don't blame anyone,it just wasn't what I was looking for. Because of that, I'd give the coffee 1/5. It simply wasn't to my taste. Overall, the great service and delicious muffin were definite highlights, but the coffee experience brought my overall rating down to 3/5.
