Creme Brulee Matcha Hurricane
Serina L.

SO SO SO good. My mom and I think about this drink so often. There were chunks of creme brulee which we really liked! It was a good mix of matcha and creaminess / richness. We got the drink pretty fast but it also wasn't too busy!

You order your matcha from the kiosk. Service is pretty fast tbh. My go to drink is the matcha crème brûlée and I like it personally. However, I've noticed that the brûlée can seem a bit chunky when you're sipping the drink? I've gone to this location and the Cupertino and the Cupertino one is definitely slightly better hence the 4 stars. But you can't go wrong coming here if you don't want to drive to Cupertino for the drinks. It'll still be fine. I will say, the shop is pretty spacious compared to the Cupertino location. There's a bench and table for you to sit. In Cupertino, you'll mostly wait outside because of how crowded it can get. Overall, still good!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon, and the line was to right about the door. It moved pretty quickly, about less than 10 minutes to the kiosk. I love that you can get an extra matcha shot for free here! It took about another 10 minutes for them to finish my drink. Definitely not a bad wait, as I've had to wait for a total of an hour at their peak popularity before. Their strawberry matcha latte is decently good. The matcha is a bit astringent with a bitter note, but the strawberry complimented the flavors well. I honestly wouldn't say this is the best matcha quality I've had. The star here is really their crème brûlée matcha hurricane though--I loved how the matcha slush blended with the creamy crème brûlée! Perfect amount of sweetness as well. I think they've removed some of the tables inside since I've lasted been here. It's more of a pick up and go location, instead of sit-down. Parking can be a pain sometimes in that plaza, so what I like to do is park in the adjacent lot and walk over.

This was my very first time at this location. We were greeted by this homeless dude near the front of the place. We felt extremely safe knowing that there was a private security (homeless dude), an amenity that other Izumi Matcha locations don't provide. I got my usual, the hibiscus yuzu and the matcha creme brûlée. It was super good! Refreshing for the herbal drink and smooth and not too overly sweet for the matcha drink. Parking sucks so keep that in mind though.

Uniqueness: Authentic matcha drinks served here with great quality & not long lines some times! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Drink Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? Matcha Creme Brûlée is must for the sugar lovers, anything matcha is obviously a great choice here. Coming here several times during peak hours and off hours, Izumi Matcha is a great alternative location to go to vs. their other location in Cupertino when it comes to getting some great quality matcha drinks here. They should have all that they offer compared to their Cupertino location and their creme brûlée matcha swirl is a fan favorite here (definitely recommend it for first timers and those who like their drinks on the sweeter side). I've had their honey matcha and hojicha drinks here before too and you can tell the matcha they use is fresh due to the slight bitterness you sometimes get. Lines can be long at time but if you come at off hours, I've seen instances where it was literally 2 people inside & no wait time at all. Staff are friendly and never had any issue with anyone inside making the drinks relatively quick. I'll recommend Izumi Matcha as one of the few drink spots in this packed plaza to choose from and definitely be back for more.

Yuzu Matcha Tea & Kuro Sesame Hojicha Latte
Tracey H.

Yuzu Matcha Tea 5/5: Very refreshing. I was able to order my drink with an extra shot of matcha free of charge. It helped to curb the sweetness. Kuro Hojicha Latte 4.5/5: Pretty good nutty flavor. Not too sweet. Rich and creamy. The store is on the smaller side. There's not much seating. The parking lot is of decent size, but tends to fill up quickly given the amount of good eats in the plaza. There's like 5 other drink spots in the plaza, so don't be deterred if you see a longer line out front (it could be for the store next door).

Great quality matcha! You can definitely tell by how vibrant and green the color is. They have a lot of unique matcha options to choose from. I always get the Crème Brûlée Matcha Swirl and definitely recommend it. It's really creamy and smooth and I don't think anywhere else makes it as good as Izumi. The line may always look long but the wait is never bad at all. I've always gotten my drinks in less than 15 min of being at the shop. The store is definitely just a quick matcha run instead of a hang spot because of it not having too many chairs, but it's in a great location to explore!

Joanna L.

Always a thirst-quenching time at Izumi! This location has definitely gotten busier this past year, but coming on a weekday during opening hours usually helps avoid the line. Parking is usually busy on weekends in the lot itself, but there's also street parking and spots in the Target lot across the street. Ordering is on a singular kiosk to avoid too many drinks being ordered and not enough labor to make them. This can cause the line to be long at times, so allot some time for this. The storefront is also quite small, with one table and a bench area along the wall. The Silver Creek location also occasionally has a pungent smell... The cheese mousse matcha and creme brûlée matcha swirl are always a hit for me. The cheese mousse is always super fluffy and brings a great salty touch to the sweet matcha. The crème brûlée matcha is a viral sensation for a reason! The flavor deliciously blends into the high quality of matcha, and not to mention super creamy. Definitely one of the top spots in an area with lots of matcha spots - worth the wait!

Cheese Mousse Green Tea
Janet N.

Prefer this Izumi compared to the Cupertino location. A few downsides to this location is mostly due to the plaza, which can be difficult to find parking and the line is usually out the door. Their business hours open later than most, so not really a spot to pick up from for early mornings before work. Ordering at the kiosk is the main reason for the line out the door, but Izumi can keep up with putting out drink orders. Got the Cheese Mousse Green Tea, as I wasn't in a sweet matcha kind of mood. Their sweetness level is perfect, tea is vibrantly green and their sea salt mousse was a perfect contrast and rich, cheesy texture on top of a refreshing matcha. I would say this is a great balance of flavors and textures in one drink. The space is small but there is a few tables to enjoy your drink if you wish and some benches as well.

Brenda L.

Out of the two Izumi Matcha locations, I definitely prefer this one!! Mostly because there's almost never a line lol. I tried the Creme Brulee Matcha drink for the first time after not having Izumi in a while. They use Marukyu Koyamaen matcha (and are pretty generous with the amount of matcha they use). I like how their drinks aren't too sweet, and how quick service typically is! Ordering is done on the kiosk like the other location. This location definitely feels a little more outdated, and the parking situation can be a hit or miss since it's such a busy plaza.

Strawberry Matcha Latte
Darlene A.

I've seen Izumi Matcha all over social media lately & everyone seems to rave about it. I've also noticed the long (& kind of ridiculous) lines at their original location, so I decided to try their other branch instead. I went on a Sunday morning and the wait wasn't bad at all, around 10 minutes. They have a self order kiosk, so you just place your order on the tablet, pay, & wait for your number to be called. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte with oat milk, 50% sweet. The drink itself was okay ; the matcha had a slight grittiness to it, tasted a bit watered down. Not the highest quality, but for the $7 price point, it's decent. There's some seating inside, which is nice. Parking will be tricky, the plaza gets really packed. If I come visit another time would try their Crème Brûlée Matcha Swirl since that seems to be the crowd favorite and what I've seen most people get.

Lychee Matcha Tea Crme Brulee Matcha Swirl
Mellissa B.

Visited for the weekend so came here twice. The first time ordering took a while since they were fixing the kiosk and ended up taking the orders once a line started forming. The second the kiosk kept freezing so took a little a while to order since we also had to wait for the kiosk to restart. Other than that getting the drinks were pretty fast. I got the matcha lychee and it's so good!! I thought it was perfect especially since my favorite is lychee and matcha. Also the color of the matcha was very promising!! I thought it could have been sweeter but my cousins thought the sweetness was perfect so just a preference on sweetness!! I would recommend this place for your matcha runs!! My cousins got the creme brûlée matcha swirl and I think the other was the cheese mouse matcha? They really love the creme brûlée matcha swirl but I thought it was ok! I want to come back to try the white peach matcha!!

Cheese Mousse Matcha Tea
Jacqueline N.

I got super lucky today because 1) there was no line (completely unheard of at 3:30pm on a Friday after the Silver Creek kids finish school) and 2) they had matcha powder in stock. I hope this TikTok matcha trend DIES permanently so I don't have to keep competing with people who made fun of me for liking matcha in middle school :( But anyWHO, I'm excited to try my brand new Okane no Hana ceremonial grade matcha powder when I get home :) Oh, and the Cheese Foam Matcha Tea was good too. It's now $7.75 w/o tip like damn take my whole card I guess (*´ー`*)

Their ice creams might be good but the drinks are okay. Possibly because there is more of cream than the actual matcha. Not for me.

As a smaller store, I typically don't do a full grocery run there, but I love the quality of many of their items, so I come here frequently. Staff tends to be fairly stable and many of their items friendly people who serve me have been here for some time. I generally find folks to be super helpful. I also trust their fish department - something I don't do at some of the other grocery stores. And, as I said,t heir meat department in general is quite good. The store is well stocked and well-run -- it's always a pleasant stop when I can drop in. I'd probably give it a 5th star if I could find a way to do most of my shopping there, which I just can't. But I love it nevertheless - even through the myriad name changes it's experienced over the past decade or so as they've somewhat inexplicably changed their name several times. (Mid-life crisis? Corporate shuffling? Reinvesting? Who knows? I just know that when I tell my wife I'm going to the store, I stumble through two names they used to have before I get to the right one.) I do recommend Silver Creek Community Market and, if you live nearby, please consider supporting this store with your business - it's so nice to have a decent grocery near your home.
