Omg! I used to order their ceremonial matcha from Junbi online years ago. I didn't know they had stores, so when I saw this one, I had to go in! I got the regular ice matcha with oat milk. I usually go for less sweet (50% for my drinks) but this time I didn't bc employee at the counter mentioned it isn't too sweet so I decided to take her word for it.. and it was perfect! Employee at the counter was very sweet and my drink came out quite fast :) I was running out of matcha back home so I decided to leave with a matcha tin because I had a great experience! read more

TLDR; I don't usually like matcha, but Junbi's matcha is so good, it has made me a fan (of their matcha). I will be visiting their storefront downtown for afternoon pick-me-ups going forward. Junbi Matcha was hired to come into our office today and serve us two matcha options over our lunch break, regular green matcha and strawberry matcha (with strawberry puree). First, I tried the strawberry matcha, and it tasted amazing. It took me a while to determine if the amazing flavor was coming from the strawberry puree or the matcha, and I assumed (incorrectly) it was solely from the strawberry puree. Remember, I don't normally like matcha.... But then, I went back for seconds and asked for the regular matcha, and it blew me away. Super flavorful, but not super sweet. They had non-dairy options for both that I tried, and the sweeeeet kick of caffeine is exactly what I need to get me through the rest of my afternoon. I will definitely be walking to their location downtown to power me through the afternoons! read more

We came here for the Peanuts x Junbi Collection and thought to get some drinks as well! We ordered the Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte, Chocolate Hazelnut Hojicha Latte, Strawberry Matcha Latte, and Strawberry Hojicha Latte. They were right about the Snoopy drinks being Hazelnut because all I could taste was the Hazelnut. I could barely taste the Hojicha. The Matcha was a little better but I prefer the non Snoopy collab drinks. The service was great. All the workers were super friendly! read more

Came for the snoopy collab which is featuring a hazelnut series. The three drinks we got (matcha, hojicha, chocolate) were all very sweet. I would try to adjust the sweetness next time. The matcha was my favorite since it was the most balanced in flavor. The drink cups are very cute (snoopy branded) and they have some snoopy decor inside which was also fun. They sold out of merch though :( Service was okay, not the most friendly. read more

Junbi Matcha & Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was craving a fruity matcha drink and this was the 1st place I thought of. It was quite packed inside and out, so everyone else must have been thinking of the same thing. Order on 1 of the 2 kiosks and wait for your name to be called. I ordered the Blueberry Lavender Cold Foam Matcha Latte ($7.00 + tax) w/House-made Almond Jelly ($1.00): Less Ice, Less Sweet, Whole Milk. This is the only place I've seen this combination. +Blueberry Lavender Cold Foam tasted like ripe blueberries w/a hint of lavender. +House-made Almond Jelly was a unique & delicious topping that worked well with the flavor profile of the drink +Freeze dried cranberries added a tart crunch. +Green & lavender hues made for an aesthetically pleasing drink. +Cup & straw were durable -After the cold foam was gone, it just tasted like a regular matcha latte. -No option for no ice or 0% sweet: The last time I was here, both of those options were available. -Cups are smaller now. Side notes: 1.) Rewards: Sign up w/email or phone # to earn points 2.) Compared to my previous visit, they added some seating indoors in addition to the tables outdoors. *Verdict: Creative but pricey matcha drinks. With so many matcha places in the area, they're definitely one of the most expensive ones, especially since their cups are smaller now. read more

I was looking for a matcha place that I might like. I usually don't order matcha drinks at places, but this one has a bunch of cool fruity flavored matcha drinks. Anyways, we went here around 2pm on a Saturday and there were a few people in line ahead of me. We ordered a few drinks here so we got the Guava Matcha Latte, Madagascar Vanilla Matcha, and the Yuzu Dragonfruit Refresher. This place also gives you the option to choose between a hot or cold matcha drinks and I loved how there's unique fruity flavors, like the guava which ended up being both of our favorite matcha flavor. I'd recommend this place! All the drinks we tried were good and I liked how unique their drink flavor combinations are. It's a small shop so it might be difficult to find a place to sit inside, but they have seating outside too! read more

Junbi Matcha & Tea - Yuzu Dragon Fruit Refresher (3PO), Guava Matcha Latte, & Madagascar Vanilla Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Junbi in Japanese means either preparation, reserve, provision or arrangement. Ok, makes sense. It also sounds like a character's name in an Anime series. Yatta! Located behind or adjacent (depends on how you look at it) our workplace, is this Matcha joint on Market Street. Order on a kiosk or request your drink straight from the employees working on the counter. Nice, cheerful and friendly staff. Then prepares the drinks for you. Decided to give 'em a try a couple of times and the first drink I tried was a Cold Matcha Latte ($7.75). It was good, but lacking that Matcha flavor that I'm used to. It was light in flavor and was forgettable. Next time I tried the Cold Hojicha Latte ($7.75). This one had the Matcha flavor that I prefer - bold, earthy and roasted notes. Not too sweet as well. All in all, a nice addition to the neighborhood that provides more options. 3.5 stars. read more

There are not many places in downtown San Francisco dedicated to matcha on Market street. You may find it on many menus at Boba places and even on a Peets Coffee or Starbucks menu. There is a place which has matcha on its namesake and they serve not only matcha but you can also participate in the matcha experience. Since Don Juan de la matcha is a lifestyle I wanted to check out this matcha spot. It's planted on Market street between 3rd street and New Montgomery and it's called Junbi which means preparation in Japanese. On a downtown stroll on Market street seeing some interesting things as I entered Junbi Matcha & Tea yellow colored walls. I was tempted to order the Cold Mango Match cold brew but wanted to taste the Cold Madagascar Vanilla Matcha Latte. I am glad I ordered it because it was crisp, and smooth and every drop was tasty and not too sweet. There are so many different crisp matcha combinations like the Hot Dirty Matcha Latte with expresso. They also offer Matcha making team building classes also known as Matcha 101 .There is also merchandise for sale like tote bags .They also sell blind boxes for a pleasant surprise. Market street now has a good dedicated place with indoor and outdoor seating to get matcha in Downtown San Francisco and it's worth every drop. Junbi which means "preparation" in the language of the Japanese" nation " I went inside their Downtown Market street San Francisco " location " where they making different types flavors of matcha, expresso and coffee drink "creation" Don Juan del matcha is a matcha "fiend"something got me hooked with the "green " matcha powder which has "caffeine " so go people watch outside at Junbi on Market street because once you see it on the Downtown streets in SF it can't be "unseen" read more

This place was pretty good. The warm salt bread was delicious even with the butter. The matcha cookie was a little sweeter than I prefer but it still tasted delicious. The matcha latte I ordered passion fruit with their homemade almond jelly. The passionfruit was a bit too tart but the almond jelly totally hit the mark it was yummy. I would come again to try more drinks read more

Centrally located, Junbi offers boba, matcha, specialty drinks and teas, and onigiri! I opted for the matcha and onigiri while running errands. Ordering was simple on the screen and there were so many options! Drink came out fast and tasted so good. The onigiri was separate from the seaweed so it doesn't get soggy. Will be back! read more

Came here for the Junbi x Peanuts collab launch. My friend and I both got the chocolate hazelnut matcha latte, and we agreed that the chocolate overpowered the drink making it hard to taste the matcha and hazelnut. I did really appreciate that they made my drink in my own cup (let's reduce my plastic waste), although the employees were a bit confused by my ask in the beginning. They have a few tables inside and outside and a kiosk that you order at. read more

Was craving some yummy matcha after lunch and figured we might as well splurge on something nice while in the area. Knowing that Junbi has many fruity matcha options, we headed this way. The menu offers lattes (with milk) and normal matcha drinks (with water, and for some reason for an extra $0.75 you can add a splash of milk cafe au lait style?), and tons of fruity combinations such as classic strawberry matcha, vanilla matcha, or even guava matcha. I was intruiged by the hojicha lattes too. Ultimately we got a guava matcha with pearls. The pearls were sweet and chewy, and even though there was only one employee working and a few orders ahead of us I was pleasantly surprised that it was a short wait. We got to look around the bright little store, including a community events board, in the meanwhile. Matcha was pretty, grassy, and good but not exceptional, and the price was on the higher side. I enjoyed Junbi but wouldn't come out of my way to come again. read more

Such a nice little hidden gem right in the middle of Union Square. You'd almost miss it if you weren't paying attention, but I'm really glad we stopped by. The day was beautiful and sunny, and it was perfect to grab a drink and sit outside for a bit with my friend. I ordered the mango matcha with almond jelly, and it was actually really good--refreshing without being too sweet. I loved that you can customize everything: sweetness level, how much ice, and even add extra toppings. They also give you sustainable straws, which is a small touch but definitely appreciated. My order came out to around $9, plus a few extra bucks for the tip, which felt reasonable for the location and quality. The space was clean, the setup was simple, and the whole experience felt easy and pleasant. I'd definitely consider coming back here, especially when I'm in the area and want a chill break from the Union Square buzz. read more

Stopped by here with some friends. They have some interesting matcha drinks and collabs with BT21 at the moment. I initially wanted to try the galaxy drink but they were sold out since we went less than an hour from closing. instead I got: (7.5/10) Strawberry Hojicha - pretty standard, well mixed (little hojicha powder settling at the bottom), I got 0 sugar and it was the perfect sweetness for me because the strawberry is already sweetened There are 2 kiosk for self-ordering. Drinks came out fast. Small but cute interior with a couple tables outside. read more

I got the galaxy matcha latte with some lychee jelly and aloe. This drink is actually a meal - I was so full with just half the drink!! They add taro root in the drink so it's not just a flavor but you can actually taste it - which I really loved! My colleague got a black sesame based drink and she said that was really good too. This place was quite busy but service was quick. Recommend read more

Dropped in to try the matcha when passing on route to the shops on market street. Really cute and colorful interior- not really much seating so its more of a grab and go kind of place. Some decorations and lighting on the wall if you want to take a picture with your drink for the 'grid'. Lots of matcha options here- i got the strawberry iced matcha, good size of cup. Maybe a little too sweet for me- the strawberry was a little overpowering and I couldn't really taste the matcha unfortunately, but will be back again to try another one of their drinks as it did look like they had a good menu! read more

I've seen people hype up Junbi Matcha on social media, so I was excited to try when we were nearby this location looking for something to drink. The shop is pretty small so definitely a grab and go spot. There is a one person counter table inside and a few tables outside to hang out at. It was easy to order at the kiosk and I liked having the option of seeing all the pictures of the different drinks prior to choosing. I opted for the Madagascar Vanilla Matcha Latte, which had a nice hint of sweetness. I do love my matcha drinks on the strong end, so the matcha could have been more intense but was still better than a chained coffee shop. My fiance was craving something fruity and got their guava black tea with a cream foam top, which is really enjoyed. Prices are typical of a boba shop. Overall, a solid pick for a refreshing drink and I'd be back to try their other drinks. read more

It was my first time trying Junbi after hearing all about the high quality matcha. Unfortunately, many items in the menu were unavailable and the drink I ordered didn't taste like I expected. I ordered the Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha Cold brew, but the entire drink tasted more like a lemonade. Additionally, there was minimal to no matcha or dragonfruit flavoring. Unfortunately, I cannot rate the service as I only ordered at the machine and had no staff interaction, but the store and music was nice. read more

Even though this is not the most convenient location for me personally, you can tell I still go or get it delivered. Cute collab with miffy. Located on Market and 3rd street/Kearny.

I've heard about Junbi since I've been a loooongtime fan of JK, but never had a chance to try since their locations were far away. We came into the city for our holiday photoshoot, and I think my jaw dropped because I saw that Junbi is here! No idea how long it's been here (I rarely go into the city now... so sad), but glad it's here! The shop itself is vibrant, cute and clean, which of course is a nice mini getaway from the wonderful-ness of Market St. I ordered the strawberry matcha since it's the most popular, and my husband and kiddos also got their drinks. I asked for less sugar: I always ask for less sugar, but I must say, the matcha was still more bitter than what I'm used to. I mixed the drink pretty well (well, as good as I could while wrangling two toddlers), but noticed that there wasn't as much strawberry compared to the matcha. The strawberry was good aka the first few sips were delicious, but then the drink was just pretty bitter the rest of the day (like 70% of the drink). Personally I prefer Boba Guys because the flavors are more flavorful all around, and the ratio is better balanced. But my husband and kids are really enjoyed their drinks. Service was great! Everyone was very friendly. Four stars from me since I'm apparently the only grouch in my family. Price is kind of steep, but it seems like the normal price for drinks these days. read more

3.7 stars partially bc of rhe loss in value kver the sizing. We just got a group order for our office. We order from here every other month or so as a group. My Macha latte with guava is visually appealing and very tasty, but the cups and size of the drinks is now much smaller from what it used to be. Prices are still at premium level, but the size has gone down. $7.50. I'd still say to give then a tey because they have tasty and unique drinks. I almost got the blueberry lavender cold foam match latte or the dirty hojicha latte with sea salt Carmel cold foam. read more

So highly recommend this place! read more

This is one of the few spots in the Financial District for a decent boba! I came in with lower expectations, as I didn't enjoy the Junbi I tried at their SoCal location. However, I was pleasantly surprised as my drink this time around was quite good. It wasn't amazing, but it definitely satisfied the job on a hot day in SF. I came with a friend, and a warning to future visitors: be wary of their random waves and bursts of business. We lucked out and got in right before a big wave hit! read more

I also like that the mango sauce tasted like it's made from the real fruit. I got it with no extra sweetener and I think it's perfect sweet but not too sweet. Next time I'll try the matcha guava. Looking forward to my next visit~ read more

The only food item they offer are a salmon or snow crab rice ball. All their drinks are available hot, which may be perfect in the cooler winter months. The employees were welcoming and friendly.

Junbi delivers delicious matcha latte drinks. I love they use ceremonial-grade matcha and their matcha lattes are rich and flavorful. The cafe is quite small, but colorful and bright. This is ideal for a quick in-and-out stop, but definitely not a study spot. Their menu is well-curated with hot and seasonal options. There was one worker who was quite helpful, but she did mess up my drink the first time due to miscommunication. I also appreciate their fruit flavors use real fruit. Guava and lychee are quite fun and it amazes how well it balance the matcha's bitterness. The only downside is the additional charge for non-dairy milk, but overall it was a pleasant experience! read more
