Guava and mango matcha
Jonica K.

I've been to Junbi a few times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorite matcha spots in the area. // Guava Matcha latte My go-to! It's light, fruity, and incredibly refreshing without being overly sweet. I appreciate that the fruit complements the matcha rather than overpowering it, making it an easy drink to enjoy on a warm day. Their matcha itself is smooth and high quality, though I'd describe it as being on the lighter, more delicate side. If you're used to richer, creamier einspänner-style matcha lattes, just know this has a much lighter and more refreshing profile. There is an underground parking garage shared with the retail spaces and apartment complex. Sometimes they will also host pop-up events featuring local Bay Area bakeries. I thought it was such a thoughtful way to bring together small businesses and introduce customers to some incredible local bakers!

Was around this side of South Bay and wanted something to drink. I've been to multiple Junbi locations, but this was my first time at this location. Their matcha has always been good and I've alway enjoyed their guava matcha. Guava Matcha (5/5): Perfectly balanced between tropical and earthy. I definitely recommend this if you want matcha with a tropical fruity taste. I'll probably come back here again

chocolate hazelnut lattes
Andre M.

Came here because of the Snoopy collab. They had a bunch of Snoopy merch, decorations and drinks, which were chocolate hazelnut. I got the chocolate hazelnut coffee latte and it was honestly okay. The chocolate hazelnut flavor was very overpowering, making it more of a dessert milk drink than coffee. I'm happy that I tried it but for the price I wouldn't be back. I ordered through a kiosk which was nice. They have a parking garage next door which made parking easy.

Decided to finally try this place out. It's apple season I suppose so I tried their apple cider matcha or something like that and was disappointed.i love anything apple but it just tasted like apple cider vinegar. Also ordered vanilla matcha and that was good very light. Lots to choose from their menu, I'll probably swing by to try it out again if I'm in the area.

May 2026: Iced Pear Matcha Latte & Iced Gauva Matcha Latte
Tiffany N.

Always a favorite of mine, but this was my first time visiting this California location after previously trying their Hawaii shop. The café is located beneath an apartment complex, and there's guest parking available in the underground garage, which made visiting pretty convenient on a Friday afternoon. I will note there may be limited parking depending on the hours you visit. There's plenty of seating inside along with a restroom so I can see myself working here for a long time. They also have self-ordering kiosks available, although one was out of service during my visit and the screen was a bit sticky. Service was quick, and our drinks came out surprisingly fast. I visited during their seasonal pear series, so I had to try the Pear Matcha since no other places really have it. It was light, refreshing, and the pear added just the right amount of natural sweetness without overpowering the matcha. My cousin ordered the Guava Matcha, which I've also tried before at their Hawaii location, and it's still one of my favorites. Overall, another great experience and a reminder of why this spot remains one of my go-to matcha places. I'm hoping the Pear Matcha becomes a permanent menu item because it was that good!

Had this bookmarked for awhile. Strawberry chrysanthemum tea and yuzu dragonfruit tea were just okay. I feel that the dragonfruit was syrup and not the real thing for the pricey drink. The strawberry was overpowered by the chrysanthemum so it wasn't balanced. Free parking downstairs is a really big plus because there's literally no street parking. Service was awesome and friendly.

Pear Matcha, Guava Matcha, and Strawberry Cloud Matcha
Phyli N.

Went here after a long trip! Parking is tough and under an apartment complex. Staff here are super friendly and chill. It's very clean and spotless. We ordered: - Guava Matcha - Pear Matcha Latte - Strawberry Cloud Matcha Everything was delicious and we finished our drink super quick.

Stephen K.

Decent matcha in a convenient location. Lots of parking underneath because it's in an apartment complex. Nothing to write home about but nothing to critique too heavily either. Would be nice if they had an additional kiosk for ordering during peak times but other than that it's a decent spot.

Junbi has quickly become one of my favorite matcha spots in the Bay Area! JUNBI IS UNDERRATED AND IT NEEDS TO BE TALKED ABOUT MORE!! With so many matcha options around San Jose and nearby cities, this location still stands out to me for its smooth texture, balanced flavors, and consistent quality. The drinks are not overly sweet and feel thoughtfully crafted. I love how they use the RIGHT type of matcha, that pairs well with their flavors.. if you know what I mean, then you know! For the variety of items I tried, this is what I got: Strawberry jasmine green tea Guava matcha latte Blueberry lavender matcha Persimmon matcha with persimmon cold foam Mango matcha Strawberry matcha Matcha cold brew Guava cold brew Strawberry refresher Strawberry hojicha latte Rice ball flight with snow crab, salmon, and mentaiko My favorite was definitely the blueberry lavender matcha. Their cold foam series is honestly very good and adds a fun twist to traditional matcha drinks. I also really enjoyed the persimmon matcha with persimmon cold foam, which tasted refreshing and unique. From what I understand, this flavor may be limited or seasonal, so it is worth asking staff if it is still available. One item that genuinely surprised me was the Mango Mission soft serve. It is a matcha vanilla swirl soft serve topped with mango purée and chia pudding. It was very refreshing, unique, and the chia pudding added a texture I did not expect but ended up really enjoying! The space itself is very beautiful and very clean, making it a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your drink or dessert. They also sell merchandise and matcha products in store, which adds to the overall experience. The staff were super nice and attentive throughout the visit! Overall, this is still one of my favorite matcha spots that I would gladly return to!

Hojicha latte
Karina S.

Loved the hojicha latte here! Got it iced on a hot day and have been craving a good hojicha latte for a while-I do wish there were more cafes that served hojicha along with matcha in the South Bay. Also tried some of the vanilla matcha swirl soft serve, which was quite sweet so I would probably try just the matcha next time. The inside was a bit packed and it was hard to find a table that would comfortably seat 5 people so we squeezed together at a smaller table. The parking structure is a bit confusing but nice that there is a garage available for retail parking.

hojicha
Jennifer

This place is a favorite amongst many for good reason! They use high quality matcha (they have uji matcha ), hojicha, and loose leaf's tea. Truly an option for any milk tea lover. Taste: I get 0% sugar and the hojicha did not disappoint! They use fresh milk and strong tea, so I found myself finishing my drink quickly. I also really liked their vanilla ice cream. Parking: Very convenient underground parking lot right by them. Service: They've always been kind of accommodating. Truly a job to interact with!

Flight of three rice balls
Hong P.

I had a little time after work and decided to try this place per recommendation from a friend. It wasn't busy and walked up to the kiosk to order. I selected the Madagascar Vanilla Bean Cold Brew with organic soy milk and a flight of all three of their rice balls to go. The wait was only a few minutes and I was able to get my drink and food. The matcha was delicious and with the vanilla bean just sweet enough without it being too much. Love the combination of flavors to balance out the bitterness of matcha with the vanilla bean. The rice balls I opened up when I got home and they put the nori into a separate bag and the each rice ball was wrapped up in plastic. I had a mentaiko, snow crab, and salmon rice balls. Once assembled they were absolutely delicious and still warm. Mentaiko was salty but so savory at the same time, the snow crab was the best since it wasn't super salty but also had some sweetness to it, and the salmon was really good. Honestly I would have loved another flight of these rice balls. Will come back to try some of the other drink options.

Inside

Good strong hojicha hot milk tea. Full on roasted green tea flavor. Got it less sweet which was perfect. Good price for the size of the cup. The Persimmon Matcha is seasonal. Bottom layer of the drink was persimmon puree so also full on flavor. Persimmon kinda reminds me of apricot and light molasses mixed together. The Mango Matcha soft serve was yummy. Smooth, creamy ice cream with light matcha flavor which is perfect because it didn't overwhelm the sweet tart mango drizzle. Matcha flavor was not bitter at all. Like it a lot. Cute open sitting area. Nice staff, too. Parking garage in the back of the store in same building.

When I first came here, I honestly thought it was just a funky, quirky little ice cream shop, but…read moreonce you actually try their flavors, you'll understand why people keep coming back! The honey lavender is hands down my cousin's and my favorite flavor! It's so fragrant, creamy, and has just the right amount of floral sweetness without being overpowering. We literally have to stop by whenever we're craving ice cream! Their strawberry is also really delicious, but another flavor I think deserves more attention is the olive oil! I know it sounds a little crazy and weird for ice cream, but somehow it just hits my taste buds in all the right places. It's rich, smooth, and surprisingly delicious! I love how creative and unexpected their flavors are. Some combinations might sound strange at first, but they work so well together. Definitely one of our favorite ice cream spots, and a place we always find ourselves coming back to!

I really like the variety of flavors that they have to offer. I got the "Coffee and Love Nuts"…read morewhich was a coffee flavored ice cream with nuts that were covered in chocolate. I enjoyed it, but halfway through, it became way too sweet. I was leaning towards getting a kids scoop instead, but the employee said that it would basically be the size of a quarter. I understand this is a gourmet ice cream shop, but $8.50 for a scoop and a sugar cone? I won't be coming back. Instead m, I highly recommend going to "Scoop" just a few blocks down. Their store always smells of fresh waffle cones and they have a unique selection of ice cream just like Salt and Straw.
