    Black sesame and matcha swirl
    Sarah S.

    No line on a Sunday around noon. I'm not a big fan of matcha, so I went for the black sesame and matcha swirl. The matcha didn't have a bitter taste, and was really good with the black sesame. My only complaint is that I could see my ice cream was already melting and dripping before I even picked it up from the counter. My friends, which came up next, was fine so maybe the machine just started up?

    Been wanting to try Izumi Matcha for a while now. Since we were in the area, we decided to finally check them out. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon recently. The cafe is located in a nice plaza in Cupertino off Steven Creek Blvd. Parking is accessible in the large parking out front. The modern cultural decor is simple. The vibe is welcoming and bustling. There are no tables inside but there are plenty of tables and chairs outside in the communal patio. We ordered 2 creme brûlée matcha swirls. There were delicious and refreshing. The swirl presentation in the cup was nice and different. The flavor was unique but in a scrumptious way. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Izumi Matcha. The staff were friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the family friendly and inviting atmosphere both inside and outside in the communal patio. Thank god we did not have to wait in a line for the kiosk. Price point was fair. We hope to be back to try different drinks from the menu.

    I don't even live here but wow this matcha is heavenly! I love that they use Marukyu Koyamaen and that you can even purchase it too! The drinks here have a strong matcha flavor which I like My favorite is the matcha crème brulee drink. It's definitely on the sweeter side and almost feels like a dessert... but it always satisfies my sweet tooth. so good that I always ask my bf to freeze it and bring it down to socal! I've been searching for a dupe of it but have not been successful quite yet Service is standard and the interior is very clean and cute (I love all the smiskis and sonny angels hanging around). Highly recommend and am forever craving izumi

    Crème brûlée matcha shake !!

    The matcha here is legit, it feels like you got transported to japan! We tried the crème brûlée matcha and it has chunks of crème brûlée in it. So delicious! Loved the matcha quality. This is definitely a decadent selection but worth it. Would love to try their other options too as well as the Hojicha soft serve which was my favorite j. Japan!

    Luckily the line wasn't bad the day we went. I like tea lattes and this was near where we had dinner. Lots of choices. We picked Honey matcha latte and Kuro hojicha latte at the end. Made efficiently. This place is packed but they have a system. Could tell they use decent powders. Both were perfect amount of sweetness. Good flavors. It satisfied my drink craving. Would come back. Grab and go style. Not a sit down kind of place.Private lot in front though.

    I dropped by on a Sunday afternoon and found that the usual long lines were gone. Maybe 2-3 groups were waiting in line. They were taking orders at the counter and via one kiosk (the other was down), so the wait wasn't bad. The drink menu has a lot of Americanized options. Combining matcha with strawberry or yuzu isn't something you see in Japan. I tried the Honey Matcha Latte to get a purer matcha taste, but the honey flavor was a bit too strong and masked the matcha. For my taste, honey isn't the best sweetener for matcha. They emphasize their high-quality matcha, but it was hard for me to tell. The speed of service was excellent. The drinks came out quickly, and the staff were all energetic and working hard.

    Creme Brûlée Matcha Swirl
    Vincent P.

    Izumi Matcha is a very hyped matcha shop and I think they're pretty good! This location is in a busy plaza, so it can get packed and there most likely will be a line. It's a grab and go kind of spot, although there are some outdoor tables. I've gotten the Strawberry Matcha Latte and Creme Brulee Matcha Swirl, both were tasty and flavorful drinks. I've haven't been disappointed with a drink that I've gotten here. They use Marukyu Koyamaen matcha powder, which is high quality. If you love matcha, Izumi is definitely worth checking out, just anticipate to be waiting in a line to order.

    strawberry matcha latte
    Jasmine W.

    I come here pretty regularly for their matcha drinks. My go-to is the honey matcha latte with oat milk. They give you the option to put double matcha (for the honey matcha latte) which is a plus! The double shot of matcha and the honey pairs really well together. It has the perfect amount of sweetness and a perfect amount of matcha to make it taste rich without being bitter. The strawberry matcha latte has strawberry puree and strawberry bits which makes it taste really sweet. It's a really good contrast of flavors and an overall solid strawberry matcha latte. They also updated the self-ordering kiosk with 2 instead of one now, so there's barely any lines now compared to when they first opened. The drinks are a lot quicker so you don't have to wait too long. There's also no seats inside but there's plenty of waiting space on the outside patio! Overall I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers. Their matcha is super rich in flavor and they have a lot of options. Sometimes, they also have matcha powder in stock too! The spot is also right off of 280 so it's pretty convenient.

    Self serve service! The team took their time, the drink was so good! Went in during lunch during a summer weekday and had little to no wait time to order :)

    But first, Matcha! Best place to get your premium matcha fix in the area. This location is known to have long lines but it's completely worth it! We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy, but the line wasn't too long and it went by quick. Lucky us! Cute decor too, especially with all the matcha bowls in display. I ordered the Strawberry Yuzu Matcha Tea which contains a layer of strawberry puree, a layer of Japanese yuzu citrus, and an award winning Marukyu Koyamaen matcha. My kids ordered the Crème Brûlée Matcha Swirl which is made with their house made crème brûlée, yum! My drink was refreshing and you can taste the blend of all the flavors. I took a sip of their drinks and it was a little jealous because it was so good! It wasn't too sweet either. So I guess you can say that we'll be back?

    Delicious matcha soft serve and matcha drinks. I think I found my new favorite. Thankfully no line when we went right before close.

    Yuzu Matcha Tea
    Don L.

    I thought my Yuzu Matcha Tea was a little too sweet at the recommended sweetness, but I can see myself loving it next time if I order less sweet. We waited about 10 minutes to get in, order, and leave with our drinks. It was worth the wait and was about $7.37 a drink. No places to sit inside, but there are tables outside.

    I am disappointed to update this review as my husband got this to go for me recently and their creme brûlée matcha swirl drink was not good at all, it tasted like a slushee with matcha in it vs a creamy matcha flavor. It used to have good amount of brulee and matcha cream but that wasn't the case this time. I am not sure if they changed their recipe or if it was a bad batch. Disappointed though as I loved this spot

    Honey matcha with matcha soft serve top. They won't take out the ice and the soft serve has an icy bite but I don't mind

    Is there any way to order for delivery (DoorDash, uber eats, post mates, through your own website, calling the location)? I want to order delivery for about 10 people for my friend's birthday and can't find it on any delivery apps.

    No. No delivery or online ordering. Gotta stand in line

    Can you buy matcha powder here?

    Matcha powder by Nanaya is available for purchase.

    Do you sell gift cards?

    We don't sell gift cards currently.

    Hi, For drinks with a sweetness level choices, do they offer sugar free sweeteners as an option? Thx :)

    Trying to understand the calories for the strawberry matcha latte (less sweet). May i ask approximate how many oz of milk is being used? also sugar? I saw online recipe for honey matcha, it needs 12oz milk. even with iced?

The parking lot is small but we were lucky to find a spot rather quickly when we went on an early weekday evening.
