    Sea salt caramel banana series menu
    Monica C.

    The last time I visited was around when they first opened. I came back today and love that their current menu has kid-friendly options with no caffeine. The yuzu dragon fruit matcha cold brew was refreshing. Noted that they don't use stamp cards and they don't carry the spam rice balls at this location. Service was quick and friendly. Looking forward to coming back.

    Guava matcha with less sugar and less ice

    The junbi shop is so cute! When you walk in, the atmosphere is really inviting with the bright yellow colors. I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

    Came on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't too busy. It was cute and decorated inside with a chic modern vibe. Employees were helpful in providing recommendations. The menu is extensive. I tried the salted caramel banana matcha latte with coconut milk. It was good! The banana wasn't too sweet and the matcha wasn't too overpowering. It was a good balance. I also had the salmon rice ball, which was fresh but ok. It tasted more like tuna. I'd come back to try other flavors.

    Passion fruit refresher

    2nd time in while visiting the outlet. I had the passion fruit refresher this time around and lacking flavor for me. Matcha on the other hand was ok.

    I was hanging out with my good friend and we wanted something to drink after our lunch date at Malatown. Upon scouring reviews, Junbi came recommended! I was immediately drawn to the guava matcha, as that is definitely a flavor that I've never had before, and I was very intrigued. It turned out to be the perfect refreshing choice on a warm March afternoon. The staff were friendly, and you can either order on the kiosks or with a staff member. We chose to order via the kiosks. Our drinks were made in what seemed like seconds. However, they were still extremely good quality and the guava puree was delicious. The matcha was excellent, and very smooth. I asked for light ice and they delivered. I did not get a chance to try my friend's drink but she said it was her new favorite tea shop, and that she would be back. I will also be back for sure, since I'm in the area relatively often. Junbi has a ton of unique drinks even for those who aren't matcha lovers, so you are bound to find a drink for your palate.

    Matcha store across the SF premium outlets by the Tesla chargers. Chain restaurant but the matcha didn't hit at this location. Currently with BT21 collab. Ordered via kiosk. Some seatings inside. They have a restroom. I got the BT21 galaxy matcha with black sesame and ube. Strong ube and black sesame flavor. Not much matcha flavor with those combinations. On the sweeter side from the ube. The sea salt caramel banana match was much more balanced and was tasty. Has a nice banana and Carmel flavor.

    This is a cool spot to try a match and they have multiple options for add-ons and inclusions. The staff was extremely friendly and patient and I really enjoyed the guava matcha half sweetens with light ice and oat milk! They have a rewards program but it is email based so you will need to enter it in the system once you complete your purchase. I also grabbed a strawberry matcha with inclusion and add-ons and it too was a refreshing treat to bring to a friend!

    Happy one year anniversary, Junbi! We stopped in on their one year anniversary to enjoy the banana sea salt series, and the usual favorite - strawberry matcha latte. And, I can never leave without the delicious salmon rice balls whenever that yummy food is available. Prior to that, I've been loving the BT21 drinks. As always, service was fast and super friendly.

    Delicious matcha! Went in on a late Saturday afternoon and there were a decent amount of people there. It was relatively easy to find parking in their parking lot. There are 2 self-serve kiosks on the side and also a person that will happily take your order. We got a strawberry matcha and a chrysanthemum tea. The total came out to be $14.25 which I think is on the more expensive side. We got everything regular iced and regular sugar and no toppings. Strawberry Matcha (8/10): I can taste the earthiness of the matcha and the strawberry puree(?) adds a nice tartness when it's all combined. I think this was a nice balance and it wasn't too sweet which I personally enjoy. Chrysanthemum Tea (8/10): This was really enjoyable. You can taste the actual tea and it wasn't doused in sugar.

    Stopped at this strip mall to charge our EV and we're very happy to find Junbi Matcha & Tea. We got their black tea with oat milk and their yuzu green tea. They customize the drinks to your sugar and ice preference. However, they did recommend a little ice in my drink which I generally don't prefer. All in all, a solid stop to get your tea fix!

    Last minute Christmas shopping means a matcha or boba stop for me hehe. We were headed to the Livermore outlets and saw there was a junbi across the street so we decided to check it out. It's super cute inside, we were greeted right away by the friendly staff, and there was no wait. I was really excited to try the matcha latte with oatmilk but i was pretty disappointed. You could barely taste the matcha. It tasted like a slightly sweet oatmilk with a hint of matcha. I've heard good things about their matcha so I may come back again to give it another shot! Maybe it was just an off day! I did get the little matcha tin to bring home to make my own, and that was really good. Didn't taste too grassy or bitter-- it was pretty smooth.

    Guava matcha latte
    Surge C.

    Tried Junbi for the first time and thought it was decent. I do appreciate them doing a double shot of matcha with their guava matcha latte, which helped the matcha flavor come out a bit more. If you like sweet, fruit-forward matcha mixes, this is a good spot. I probably would only come here if I had a dessert craving.

    I've been wanting to try this location ever since I knew of its existence. Came here last night for a post dinner drink, a little before closing. We were immediately greeted and drink orders taken. My go-to is always hojicha latte these days with oat milk. You can adjust your ice and sweetness and was informed that hojicha doesn't have any sweetness. Just did 50% and it was nice and not overly sweet. Tea was bold. Fam ordered the guava matcha and loved it. Just to their liking. No wonder this is a fav of ours whenever we travel. Somehow a few other groups followed us in before they closed soon after. A few minutes before closing we didn't feel rushed to leave but the staff were appreciative of us stopping by. Will need to go back soon and try their BT21 drinks. They have merch too! Couldn't decide what I wanted so will think about it before my return

It also has an old-timey study or library or at least a literary vibe to this place. There's multiple rooms, including a stage in the back room. I think they have events here. Service is friendly and they have classic drinks as well as some festive ones. I was here on St. Patrick's Day so I got something festive even though it was overly sugary lol. I ordered the Lucky Charms White Mocha. It was tasty, but definitely a drink I wouldn't be able to order on the regular. I was able to set up my computer and one of the side rooms and get some work done. This place seems to be a very popular place for studying and doing some work. Just a great place in a great area. They have a large lot and there's also plenty of street parking in the area, especially during the day.

Luckily, we were able to find street parking near a ballet shop, which worked out perfectly. The barista was friendly, and our drinks were made pretty quickly. I decided to try one of their seasonal drinks, a sweet maple drink, and it was delicious! I do wish I had mixed it more because most of the flavor seemed to settle toward the bottom, but overall, I really enjoyed it. My partner got the Brown Sugar Shaken, which he enjoyed. It wasn't too strong and had a nice, balanced flavor. The shop itself is also very clean, chill, and has a great atmosphere for studying or getting some work done. Definitely a spot I'd stop by again!

Not too much ice in mine. 75% sweetness is good enough. I came here a few times and always walked pass this place because they're either not open early in the morning hours in the food court environment. Easy to spot on corner. Self service kiosk is a huge screen and credit cards accepted. You can see the colorful images of the beverages before placing order. They call out your number or beverage type when ready, so make sure you're nearby. You can also order over the counter which is usually faster. Cashiers are good people. We had the larger cup mango bits lychee jelly bits milk tea and smaller cup iced strawberry slushie. Decent beverage. Prices aren't the cheapest, but flavors are authentic.

Service was fast - we ordered through the kiosk and the drink came just a couple of minutes after. When we went, the ambiance was quiet. It was later at night so they didn't have any other customers at the time.
