I'm a big matcha person, so my husband and I make it a weekly thing to try a new spot. This week we checked out Jin Jin, and unfortunately it didn't quite hit for me. I ordered the strawberry matcha, which is usually my go to. I didn't realize it was made with strawberry syrup instead of real purée, and that definitely changed the drink. It ended up tasting more like strawberry milk, with little to no matcha flavor coming through. We also tried the banana matcha, and it was pretty similar. The banana flavor completely overpowered everything else, and again, I couldn't really taste the matcha. Overall, it just wasn't what I was hoping for, and I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Jin Jin Matcha - Tea Rooms Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Jin Jin Matcha is aesthetically very nice clean, minimal, and a great spot to just sit and enjoy your drink. The service was great as well. They greeted us right away and had lots of recommendations, which made it easy to choose. We ordered the strawberry matcha, and it was really good. The layers looked beautiful, and the matcha itself tasted fresh and smooth. The strawberry added a nice sweetness without overpowering the drink. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're into matcha or just want something refreshing and visually appealing. read more

2nd time getting the misugaru matcha, has to be one of my favorite flavor profiles in a matcha period. Black sesame is a top contender, and this flavor adds more depth on top of it. Matcha quality is always great, whisked very well, and they offer almond milk yay!!! Jin Jin is definitely in my top 5 as I finish up my Seattle area matcha crawl. read more

Literally, my favorite matcha spot ever. 10/10. The brown sugar matcha and strawberry matcha lattes are my absolute favorites. The seating and decoration inside are also so cute, and I love studying here! They also have candies and other small things you can buy on a shelf in the corner. I haven't tried the Seattle location yet, but I am happy to hear they have expanded. I can't wait to come back here again. :) read more

Hmmm idk why I can't get on the hype about this place. I tried it for the first time a while ago and got the blueberry matcha which was good but overall just very weak flavor. Decided to come back and try it again and see if it was just whoever made it last time. Buuut again I'm just disappointed in the flavor the matcha flavor is weak. Also I usually get light ice in my drinks because I'm a slow sipper but they charge a dollar extra for light ice but didn't even say so I just noticed it on the screen. The sesame matcha is way overpowered by the sesame flavor and not sweet at all. The condensed milk vanilla matcha is pretty sweet but again very weak matcha flavor. read more

Jin Jin Matcha - Black sesame matcha - Tea Rooms Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Saw the Yelp reviews and was excited to try it out! The location is very cute and aesthetic. I appreciated that they hand whisked the matcha in front of you. We got the special: Vanilla Condensed Matcha. At first I thought it was a good balance. Unfortunately as I drank more I felt like there was not much matcha flavor. By the end of it, it tasted like a sweet milk. It's a cute spot. If I lived in the area, I would try some of their other drinks. read more

Stopped in after lunch to grab some tea for our walk. We were greeted with a friendly welcoming smile. My husband got a pistachio matcha it had good flavor the Matcha got a little lost in the pistachio flavor but over all a good drink. I got a hot hibiscus tea it was nicely brewed not over extracted and I liked how they had small tea bottles for you to smell the tea before you pick what you want. The space was clean and kinda trendy looking. read more

Super cute matcha store that I've been to a couple of times. It's a lot of interior design that I really appreciate- it gives a very clean and modern vibe. The staff were very friendly and you can see them make the drinks in front of you. There's a lot of street parking in the area. I've gotten both the black sesame matcha and the lavender matcha. The black sesame flavor was a little bit strong in my opinion.... could not taste the matcha. However, the lavender one was so good. Maybe sweeter than I would like but I don't mind it too much. There was a good balance between matcha and lavender. Also, I've never seen such clear ice cubes in my life! The drinks are a little bit on the pricier side, a little over $8 per drink. I personally would not pay so much for one often, but I do like the experience. read more

Jin Jin Matcha is top tier. I don't think any other cafe can top the quality of their matcha drinks. Glad to see their popularity is growing because there was a line out the door by the time we left! Anticipating for their second location to open up this summer in Seattle. This time around I ordered their Strawberry Matcha. It's their most popular and sweetest drink on the menu. It's made with ceremonial grade matcha poured over oat milk, and stirred with strawberry syrup. My sister ordered one of their seasonal drinks, the Matcha Lychee Lemonade. I was hesitant about how the drink would taste because it's not your typical matcha drink. Surprisingly still delicious and very refreshing. read more

I had heard about Jin Jin online but was finally able to try it. It was a decently busy on that Saturday afternoon. I think it was a really cute store. I ended up getting the Black Sesame Matcha. Most of the time I get something that is labeled black sesame, I don't feel that taste comes through. This is one of the rare times that it did. That does leave mixed feelings. In this case, the black sesame felt like it overpowered the matcha. If I'm in the area again, I would go back although perhaps a different matcha drink so that I can get a better idea of their matcha. read more

Very cute, aesthetic matcha shop in town. Staff was super friendly and helpful try to explain the menu for me :) And their matcha was so good.So far I tried Rose Matcha latte w oat milk, Condensed Jeju Matcha Latte w whole milk and they all taste so good.10/10 but if you dont feel like drinking milk like me sometimes, try their Lychee Lemonade Matcha Drink. I guarantee you will love it. It's not too heavy cause there's no milk and it's not too sweet. I'm in love with that drink. They also sell some merchandise that imported from Japan that looks really cute and cool. It's a place to show off with your friend and family from out of town and just having drinks together. They also gonna have another location open soon in downtown Seattle which is closer to me so I probably just go there everyday haha. read more

Went here for ceremonial matcha and they were whisking away with the bamboo whisk! Def a vibe here! Ended up buying a set so can do it as well, and their matcha options were great. Can taste the difference. It was very very good. It is in downtown Tacoma - hopefully it will get more traffic. Small and quaint in a work building across from KeyBank. read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Matcha tea room in the coffee wonderland of the PNW. Stark simple lines of the interior evoke the calm. The service was really quick and efficient. Beautiful drinks and pastries. The butterfly pea flower matcha was gorgeous. Flavors were a bit confusing but still delicious. The black sesame shortbread cookie was not too sweet but not very black sesame flavor. Will go back to try again. read more

Visited Jin Jin Matcha on a Sunday afternoon and was excited to find a spot offering matcha in the Tacoma area. There was a line to the door and all the seats were taken when we arrived. Drinks: I ordered the lavender matcha with less sugar and the condensed vanilla Jeju matcha. The lavender one had the perfect sweetness, but I wished the matcha flavor came through more. The pastry/ dessert were already sold out and couldn't order any. Ambiance: The space is minimalist and modern, a nice place to hang out if you can find a seat. Service: Staff were friendly and helpful, though they seemed a bit understaffed. Drinks came out in about 5 minutes. Street parking is available nearby. read more

FINALLY got a chance to check out Jin Jin Matcha a few days ago while I was on my driving from Seattle to Portland for the week. I've heard lots of great things about Jin Jin, so I was pretty excited to check them out. They seem to have a good variety of drinks, and the staff were very friendly. The Butterfly Pea Flower Matcha Latte stood out to me, so I had to give it a try. The cashier asked if oat milk was fine, and I thought "sure?" I'm used to cafes asking if whole milk is fine so it was a bit surprising. Maybe they ran out of whole milk. My drink was pretty good, it might sound strange so I may be the only one, but it lowkey tasted like a chocolate chip mint ice cream as a drink. Does anything else think that? No? Just me? Okay... well it was still pretty good! I do wish I had this drink with whole milk though, I prefer a creamier texture and to be honest I'm not the biggest fan of oat milk (sorry!!). I would still recommend trying out the Butterfly Pea, but I am definitely coming back again this month to try other iced matcha latte. Tacoma deserves matcha as much as any other city, so I'm happy to see them around and excited to see them open up in Seattle as well! The matcha revolution is growing strong in the Pacific Northwest! read more

Really cool spot in downtown Tacoma. Vibes are on point, the decor is cool and the staff is really nice. I went with a friend and we got a few different drinks - the pistachio and strawberry matcha. Both were good to me. I'm not the biggest match expert, so take my words with a grain of salt but I did enjoy the experience. Price for each drink was about $9-10 after tax and tip. Not sure if that's the standard but just putting it out there! read more

Third visit and I feel like every drink I get is better than the last. Just wish JinJin was closer to home, because I'd definitely visit more often. Service and quality of matcha are as always, on point. My sister tried JinJin for the first time today and absolutely loved her drink (banana matcha), she said the banana didn't taste artificial or overpower the matcha. She also loved the simplistic decor and airy feel to the shop. Already looking forward to my next visit and hopefully it's not months later! read more

Jin Jin Matcha - Tacoma, WA Stopped in for a matcha fix and left with two new favorites: the iced blueberry matcha (refreshing and smooth) and the iced black sesame matcha (nutty, bold, and totally unique). Service was top-notch--super friendly, fast , and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the menu. You can tell they care about the craft and the customer. Perfect spot for a flavorful pick-me-up. We'll definitely be back for another round! Matcha made in heaven Blueberry for me, black sesame for the wife--both iced, both delicious. Fast, friendly service and flavor that hits like a summer breeze. Jin Jin, you've got our hearts and our taste buds!

I've had a my fair share of chalky/ watered-down matcha from cafes, so I was initially skeptical of all the good reviews. I'm glad I decided to give Jin Jin a hit anyway because it was really delicious! I got the iced strawberry matcha latte and it was about $7 - expensive but typical for cafes nowadays. You couldn't really tell that it was a strawberry matcha from photos because their strawberry purée did not have that bright red color. To my pleasant surprise, the strawberry flavor was actually very prominent but did not overpower the matcha. The matcha had a nice green color to it and had just the mildest amount of grassiness to it, which I liked. The cafe itself is very spacious, cozy, and calming. I'll definitely be back to try other tea lattes. read more

This is slowly becoming my go-to cafe stop whenever I visit Tacoma. I feel welcomed by the cozy interior that stuns when the sunlight shines through the windows. There are a couple seating options by the window benches, big table and small coffee table which are fitting for a quick pick-me-up with a friend or to relax and enjoy your drink by yourself. The staff were very nice and happy to answer your questions or give you recommendations on drinks. The lavender matcha is my favorite so far if you are looking for a soothing floral taste. I paired that drink with a lemon cream muffin which was delicious and not super sweet. I also tried their black sesame matcha but would recommend it to someone who enjoys a nutty or bitter taste with the seedy texture accumulating at the bottom. They would occasionally host events and I recently attended their mini-market for their staff to sell their handmade goods such as desserts, clothing and art. I appreciated seeing the workers behind the counter express their personalities and passions in-store, as well as bringing community together in Tacoma through their events. I'm excited to try their other specialized drinks and attend more events with them in the future! read more

Jin Jin is easily the best place to get Matcha in Tacoma! My go to is an iced strawberry Matcha with Oatmilk - absolutely delicious. The regular Matcha flavor is good as well, but the strawberry gives the perfect hint of sweetness but not overly sweet. Good customer service, and the cafe is very aesthetic. They have baked goods, yet they sell out early in the day so be sure to come early. Parking can be challenging but it's downtown Tacoma, on a good day you'll find a space right out front. Don't fret, there are some paid parking spaces just around the first corner. Make sure to pay as the parking police takes their job very serious and will give you a ticket. read more

They also sell small baked goodies if you're looking for a bite to eat. read more

Jin Jin Matcha - Tea Rooms Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We walked into the matcha shop hoping for a good drink but ended up with a bad experience all around. The young girl with shoulder hair length at the front barely acknowledged us--no greeting, no smile, just a curt "What you want?" We placed our order, and she responded with a blunt "Whole or oat?"--still no "please" or "thank you." We asked for whole milk, but she gave us oat milk instead. When our drinks were ready, she slammed them on the counter like we were asking for a free handout. And the worst part? The matcha itself was disappointing--way too much milk, overly sweet like straight syrup, and still clumpy. It tasted more like flavored milk than actual matcha. Between the bad attitude and bad drink, it's safe to say we won't be coming back. read more
