Junbi - Nice sidewalk space to enjoy Junbi's offerings - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Environment: it was a small area but there were about 5 areas to sit for small groups. There were two touch screens for ordering and also some board games and an area to take pictures, too. Staff: got our orders ready Food: I got their ceremonial tea with nothing added but a bit of cream and also made it as lightly sweet as possible. It was nice and strong, just the way I liked it! We also got the matcha affogato. The soft serve was not as strong and rich as another matcha soft serve store. The coffee flavor was fine but I like if I go to a matcha place, I want it as simple as possible. It was slightly pricier than other places but it was good! read more

Excellent tea flavors | Friendly staff | Unique collabs I just stopped by here after seeing they have limited BT21 Galaxy series drinks with BT21 merch! This special lasts til the end of this month, so if you're reading this review now, go stop by before it ends! The place is bright and the staff is friendly! They have two kiosk stations to take your order, or you can always order at the front counter. Their menu is exactly all of the things I love: slushies/smoothies, classic teas, unique special teas, rice bites, and soft serve. This was my first time dropping by, so I had to grab a Galaxy drink: the Ube, Matcha, Black sesame with coconut milk as a dairy substitute. They also have oat milk and soy milk. I went with their default settings for this drink because I wanted to experience their vision of this drink, and let me tell you, it is not super sweet! LOVE that! It's the right amount of sweetness to me, but you can always adjust the level of ice and sweetness to your liking. I went with the limited edition BT21 jar (blind box purchase) for $30. I love the jar :) Comes with a cleaner, glass straw, and a nice lid. Their drinks are beautifully presented with clean layers and mix nicely with each flavor complimenting each other. Ugh, YES. Finally, a place that has my top 3 favorite flavors in one drink!!! Each Galaxy drink comes with a BT21 designed cup sleeve too. My husband ordered their other Galaxy series drink: espresso, ube, and black sesame with coconut milk. Another solid choice that doesn't disappoint. My daughter ordered one of their many kid friendly drinks, dragonfruit slushy, and enjoyed it. The flavor is vibrant. It reflects the quality of this place. Photo op area, some indoor and outdoor seating, and games to enjoy with others. I really like this place and plan to come back with friends :) read more

Very nice cafe to study/chill! Lots of natural lighting and board/card games available. I had the blueberry matcha cold brew, and it was the perfect blend of cream and matcha. Not to mention, the cream is a lavender foam. I enjoyed it with "less sweet" option selected. read more

Junbi - Hirono & Blueberry Lavender Cold Foam Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped by here on a weekend afternoon, cus my gfs been on that pdx matcha crave. The place had steady traffic, but we didn't have to wait long to get our drinks. I'm not the craziest about matcha, but when I want one, I need it strong. I ordered the blended matcha with boba, and I loved it! It was a good balance of strong matcha flavor, but also refreshing. In a time where the color green is the only thing matcha about these other places, this place actually tastes of it. Definitely gonna try out their regular drinks next time there. I did also like the yellowish theme inside, you can't be unhappy in there. Highly recommend! read more

We love Junbi and drove out of our way in Portland to have some. Very large space, largest I've seen yet, and I've been to 3 JunbiMatcha locations 2 kiosks to order from which makes it easy and convenient to customize your drinks. You can also order from the cashier if the kiosks are taken. There were games to play and my girls played a couple rounds of Mancala, while we waited for our drinks and while we rested a bit. I always order the guava matcha cold brew and it was good, I only wish there was more guava. D1 ordered the strawberry matcha cold brew. I was surprised to see they had food at this location- soft serve and onigiri. Worth the drive. The girls went next door to the thrift shop and I ordered another matcha cold brew, mango this time for the drive home back to WA. read more

The shop has a very cute interior design aesthetic, and there's a decent amount of seating. My food was tasty, but I found it a bit overly salty, and the salmon was very mild. I kind of thought at first that they'd given me the wrong food, because I was expecting to see big chunks of salmon, but instead it was very tiny pieces that were almost indiscernible. Despite all that, I enjoyed it. The boba was also very tasty, and I really liked that they used real fruit. I did struggle a little bit with how massive the lychee pieces were though, plus there was a lot of that hard, crunchy inner layer of the lychee fruit that's just kind of gross, but if you don't mind that, you'll probably love it! read more

This place is my favorite Matcha spot in Sellwood, Portland, Oregon. It's a chain franchise, but they make the best custom Matcha drinks for those who appreciate authentic Japanese Matcha. They have bubble tea (Boba), soft, serve, ice cream, and other yummy snacks. It's often bustling in here as a testament to the coolness of this spot. Favorites of mine are the cold pressed Matcha and the Matcha latte with Boba. read more

This spot has great boba. So far I've found the specials to be not as good as the standard drink options which is a bummer. There is a bts collaboration right now which is so cute. Their drinks are flavored with ube and I guess there was a problem with mixing the ube extract that they didn't warn me about before making my drink and then seemingly leaving it out. They were able to make things right after I pointed it out though. Overall I'll be back for a standard drink, and maybe to play one of their board games with my friends. read more

First time coming to Junbi, heard the matcha and the rice balls were good so we decided to check it out. I got the cold guava matcha latte with soy milk, definitely can taste the matcha flavor. My partner got roasted matcha Hojicha. It's a cute shop, definitely coming here to do studying but there's also games to play with some friends and enjoy drinks and food, the service too was friendly, love that they notified us that it would take time due to a big order too.

Nice corner Café spot. I ordered these drinks at a kiosk. There was a slight confusion on the drinks, and someone else order the same drink as me, but it was fixed quickly. The drinks are really good. Will come back from more and I highly recommend just doing the recommended sweetness! Will come back to try their softserve and other drinks! read more

Junbi - Cold Taro Vanilla Matcha Latte & blended matcha with peach cream - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Junbi has a chokehold on me and the teens in my life. I'm a big fan of the Matcha lattes and my favorite is the rose with rose petals. I've tried a few other drinks, including vanilla taro matcha and regular Matcha. I prefer to order these with oat milk and they are delicious. It's a chain -- very consistent. The scene is definitely a young hangout spot. The drinks aren't crazy sweet which I appreciate but was concerned about. I've tried all of the rice balls and they hit. They can get really busy so you've been warned. Also, could be habit forming so at your own risk . read more

I have been wanting to try for so long! I got a guava matcha latte with boba. So good! The guava puree is tasty but will add some texture to your drink. The matcha is good. The boba was very nice. Service was great. Lots of indoor seating. Very clean! read more

They have so many tasty and creative drinks, focusing on matchas and coffee. Their drinks are on the sweet end for sure though. The Taro Vanilla Matcha Cold Brew was very novel. You definitely feel the caffeine from it but the taro flavor worked surprisingly well. Space is very cute and staffs were very friendly. I'll be back to try their Onigiris and other treats. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE junbi! One of the best boba places I've been in the Portland area, I come here often and my go to is the Strawberry Jasmine Tea! it's incredibly refreshing, not too sweet and the boba is extremely well made! My drink was $6.50 and imo, well worth it because of how good it tastes!! Service was great, the workers are so kind and give great recommendations too! Ambiance was nice too, can definitely get loud if you go when there's a lot of people but still very nice place! read more

Junbi - Cold Strawberry Jasmine Tea with Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Located on the first floor of an apartment building, the light wood accents and floor to ceiling windows give a specious feel with lots of natural lighting. The ordering counter is straight ahead upon entering and there is a kiosk on the right to self-order (unsure if it is still there). Been here three times now -- first was during their soft opening with an order of the flight of rice balls, yuzu dragonfruit matcha with aloe, and mango matcha with lychee; second time ordered the lychee oolong tea, strawberry matcha fresca, mentaiko rice ball, and salmon rice ball; most recently ordered the taro vanilla earl grey and mentaiko rice ball. If it wasn't obvious, the mentaiko rice ball is a must at every visit if there is a desire for food. The lychee oolong tea is a drink I would get again. The mango matcha and strawberry matcha fresca was underwhelming and I was not a fan of the taro chunks in the taro vanilla earl grey. read more

I love Junbi - especially their miffy collabs! My favorite drink to get is their strawberry matcha, but we got to try their seasonal peach matcha latte. I found their drinks to be on the sweeter side. The service is always great, but we prefer the use the kiosk to review the drinks available and to order. The ambiance is great also! They have board games that we can borrow and play with our friends! read more

I believe it was last Thursday where I came in around 11:20ish to use up the points that I earned so I could get $5 discount on my next drink order since they have something where if you buy a certain amount of drinks, you earn points and get awards. I told the white male cashier at least 5 times while I was ordering that I wanted to use the points on my account and also said I have a $5 reward on my phone for the points so I was very clear and I asked him what to do. I showed him the QR card over and over and he said yeah it'll connect your account so I was like okay... and I took his word for it after asking if he was sure multiple times. It charged my card and then I said did it go through? Did the reward apply and he said oh no you can't use that now. And I said oh uh can you just refund it then and then tell me how to use it? and he said no, sorry. Like.....???? I extremely regret tipping too. read more

Once again my pharmacist at CVS decided to treat us again. This time i decided to fully check the website before i placed my order. This place seemed totally legit. The selection of food and drinks was quite extensive and far from the norm. I decided on an Iced vanilla matcha latte...yeah I know, pretty fancy, but all flavors i enjoy so I gave it a shot. After I got my drink I noticed three things. First off it was a large beverage, second the straw wasn't the standard plastic affair. It was thick paper, almost like rolled cardboard. I am along for the ride for the environmentally friendly aspect. Thirdly, and this is only "slightly" negative, but quite messy for my pharmacist, the sealed lid was incredibly hard to puncture. The lid itself was poignant with its "break the glass ceiling" ideals, but actually breaking through was more effort than it should have been. After a few thrusts, decided to grab an exacto knife and create my own incision. My pharmacist wasn't quite so creative. She ended up tipping the cup Over and spilling some of the nectar. She did laugh it off though. Overall the drink was delicious and creamy, the boba's texture was excellent and the level of ice was ideal. Quite a nice pick me up on a Friday. A+ read more

I recently visited this matcha spot after seeing it on TikTok. I'll admit, I was a little hesitant after noticing they were flagged on Yelp for buying reviews, but as an avid matcha lover, I had to see for myself. And let me tell you--this place does not disappoint. Strawberry Matcha Latte I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte, and it was so good. It leaned more on the strawberry side, which I personally love, but if you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, keep that in mind. When mixed, it had this perfect earthy-strawberry balance that I couldn't get enough of. I do like my strawberry matcha lattes sweeter, and this one definitely delivered. Vibe & Atmosphere This café is adorable. The interior is well-decorated, making it a great spot to chill or snap a cute photo. It's also in one of my favorite parts of town, which is super walkable--perfect for grabbing a drink and strolling around. Service & Experience Service was quick and friendly, and the overall experience was great. Plus, the music they had playing was on point, which is always a plus when you're enjoying your drink. Final Thoughts If you're a matcha fan, this place is definitely worth checking out. They don't just sell matcha, either--they have other fun drinks on the menu, so there's something for everyone. I'll definitely be back! read more

My second time at Junbi was better than the first. My first time wasn't memorable -- maybe it was because it was during their grand opening week. However, I visited for the second time and was impressed by their quality of drinks. It was refreshing with natural ingredients like the taro. My friends were impressed by their yuzu dragonfruit tea! Definitely understaffed. We waited a while for our orders. read more

Went 2 times on my trip to Portland! I've been to the one down by UCLA a few times. I tried the spam and egg...also had the cold matcha with boba (less sweet and less ice). In general, it is good, but there are differences in the quality control of this location, like other Junbi locations. The amount of sugar added on the first day was good. The second day tasted a bit off. Spam and egg was ok. Took awhile for food to come out. Should probably have more staff, since each time, it seemed like only one person was working at a time, so food and drinks came out slow. Inside is nice and clean. Street parking only. Overall, great to see Junbi in Portland! Hope they can continue to keep up the quality! Will be back next time I'm in Portland to check them out! read more

I first had the Pasadena-based Junbi when I was in Honolulu, and was surprised to hear that Portland now has two matcha-specific spots: Junbi and Matcha Cafe Maiko. Junbi is the trendier sister, offering an extensive and at times overwhelming and less traditional menu of matcha goods. I mean you got drinks with yuzu, dragonfruit, mango, there's literally something for everyone. My friend and I were looking for something refreshing to quench our thirst on a hot day, and we both were pretty satisfied. Our drinks were both on the sweeter side. I was eyeing the soft serve, but the thirst was real. My friend enjoyed the Tropical Refresher (guava, mango, coconut) and I got the guava matcha latte. I really wanted the boba, but the sweet gal at the register told me they ran out :( Honestly, PLEASE boycott Starbucks and grab yourself a Junbi instead. It's so much tastier and does not support Israeli war crimes. The interior is nice and clean, we saw some families inside. They also have restrooms too. I love that there's some outdoor tables in addition to indoor seating for the dogs. Nice lil option for tea if you're in the area. But personally I'm more of a Matcha Cafe type of gal. read more

Really cool offerings. A million different drinks with delicious flavor options and add ons. I got the peach tea with a splash of milk and my son got the hojicha latte. Both were tasty. We got 3 of their rice balls: salmon, spam & egg, & crab. They were pretty good, a decent price and a great sized snack. I wish I had something like this closer to where I live, but I guess it's good for my wallet I don't. read more

Such a cute spot! I've known of Junbi for quite a while now and was excited to finally try it. For my first time I went with a Mango Refresher and also tried the Hibiscus Fruit Tea Refresher and Guava Matcha. All of them were delicious!! My favorite would probably be the Hibiscus one. The refreshers were cold, with such great flavor and perfect amounts of sweetness. You can also adjust sweetness levels which is really convenient. The place itself is clean, cute and a great place to hangout with friends or by yourself! Good amount of indoor seating. Oh- and there's also food options! I didn't try any this time but I'm looking forward to going back soon. Thanks Junbi! read more

I am an avid matcha drinker and I love me a strong, ceremonial grade matcha. I was excited to try this place after my friends recommended it. I came in and the floor was stickyyy :( anyway, the cashier was not very helpful when I asked questions about the drinks as he would just give quick, little-to-no detailed answers. I got a matcha latte and my friend got a Madagascar vanilla taro matcha latte. My drink tastes like Starbucks matcha at best :/ there was so much milk and sweetener, and my drink was pastel green. My friend's drink was also a pale green and was overbearingly sweet, literally tasting like vanilla ice cream and no matcha flavor. I felt really bad bc there were only two workers and a lot of customers. I'm a little disappointed by the drinks but I'm looking forward to giving this place another chance read more

I LOVE matcha but don't always like how most cafe and boba shops served it with milk. When I heard Junbi did cold brew matcha creations I was so stoked to try it! The menu is extensive, serving teas, coffees, juices, small bites, soft serve and of course, matcha. I settled on the Guava Matcha and also tried a sip of the Tropical Refresher. Both drink drinks were yummy and refreshing. The matcha flavor wasn't too strong and the guava juice really shined through. They have 3 sweetness options: more, less or none. I wish I went with none because the guava juice was sweet enough and didn't need anymore additions. They have chia seed and red bean as add-ons which you don't see often at boba shops. You can also add additional shots of espresso or matcha if you need a stronger caffeine boost. This store had some games if you want to hang out and enjoy your drink here. There's a decent amount of seating and the shop wasn't too busy either. Can't wait to come back here again to try their other items! read more

If you're a fan of matcha/milk teas and looking for a place that does it right, is a must-try! The vibe is very bright and welcoming, with a clean, modern aesthetic that makes it a pleasant spot to chill with friends or grab a quick drink. Their menu is packed with options, from matcha smoothies, milk teas and coffee. I'm a fan of their Matcha Cold Brew. My sister and I got their Miffy collab drinks/merch. We tried the orange creamsicle which was so tasty! Service was great and super helpful as well. Definitely recommend checking out Junbi if you're in the area. Whether you're a matcha enthusiast or just looking to try something new. read more

I was super ecstatic to hear another matcha shop opening in the Portland area and love how different it is from other similar cafes! Inside of the cafe, it's fairly spacious and there is some seating with games to play! But, the tables aren't very big and probably isn't the best for hanging out (better for studying!). To order, there's a kiosk or you can order at the counter. One thing I love about this spot is that they have such a variety of different drinks--both matcha and regular teas alike--and they're all so delicious. I also love how they not only have desserts (soft-serve) but also onigiri. I've tried quite a few different drinks and they're all so high-quality. The toppings are often real fruit (depending on what you get) and the sweetness of the drinks isn't over-the-top. The onigiri is also one of the better/best onigiri I've had from a cafe, so I highly recommend! They come in three flavors and all of them are great. One thing to note about their items is that, the matcha soft-serve doesn't have an intense matcha flavor in comparison to other matcha cafes in the area, but it's still pretty good and I would definitely get again! Overall, I love what this cafe has to offer and it will definitely become a go-to spot. read more

I checked out Junbi for the second time to try their collaboration with Miffy! Ambiance: 5/5 The interior is super cute and clean, perfect for hanging out with friends or a date. They also have self-order tablets, which make the lines move quicker--very convenient! Service: 4/5 The staff were friendly and quick, even with a line extending outside. However, they forgot the boba in my order initially but caught the mistake before giving it to me. Unfortunately, they tore off the plastic seal and added another on top, so it wasn't as tight, causing the drink to leak on my clothes. They were also out of most of the Miffy merch in just 1-2 days, which was disappointing. Only stickers and keychains were available, and I had really wanted the tote bag. Drinks: 3/5 Miffy Orange Creamsicle Matcha: It looked pretty, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor combination. You could taste both the orange cream and matcha, but I'm not sure they go well together. From my other visits, the drinks were okay, though nothing too memorable. The rice balls make for a decent snack! I'm unsure if I'll be back since it's a bit far from home, but I can see why others might enjoy it. read more

Junbi Matcha is worth the 5 Stars. It has a huge drink menu and almost all are solid choices. Size appears to be larger than other places, but it could be an optical illusion due to their cup shape. Regardless, it's good. I don't usually drive out of my way to get a drink but, this is one of the few places where I'd make the drive read more

The new craze! Junbi is definitely up there in matcha-tasting drinks. Personally I love matcha and thought that this place definitely hit the spot! .. on some of the drinks. I think some combinations are better than some, including the coffee + matcha combos. Personally would go for matcha purely or the coffee mixed in as they win my heart over the fruity matcha combinations read more

I'm elated that we have a matcha cafe in this area! I love matcha everything and they also serve other tea and soft serve too, so it's a great afternoon pick-me-up spot. We got a Madagascar Vanilla Matcha with Boba and a Dirty Matcha (matcha with a double espresso shot). They said that the vanilla is on the sweeter side, so we adjusted it to be less sweet and it was perfect. The boba was pretty good, the texture was good and had a good amount of brown sugar sweetness to it. The Dirty Matcha was something I've never had before, the espresso was a lot more prominent than the matcha but it was tasty. read more

This cute new place opened recently and I love it already! When you walk in, you can either order at the front counter with the employees or there are self-service kiosks you can order from. I got my boyfriend and I the Cold Yuzu Dragonfruit Matcha and the Cold Mango Matcha with Milk. The matcha tasted high-quality and we loved the drinks. I love how they use real fruit. My favorite thing however was the onigiri! It is made to order and was delicious. I ordered a onigiri flight which contains 3 onigiri; mentaiko, salmon, and spam & egg. They have the seaweed on the side which is a great idea because that way it doesn't get soggy. This place will now be my go-to for my onigiri cravings! The only thing I would say is if you order a onigiri it might take a while. My second onigiri flight came out 30 minutes later, but then again it was their soft opening and they had about 20 people come in at once so I gave them five stars anyways. Also, the store doesn't have a parking lot so expect to park on the street. Other than that, I would definitely stop by if I'm ever in the neighborhood. read more

food: 2/5 service: 2/5 ambiance: 3/5 for context, i frequently make matcha on my own and import my matcha from japan whenever i can. this is one of my first times having matcha from jeju, so i was a bit excited, but unfortunately, this was not pleasant, and i feel like the only reason why i would return is because of a friend who likes their miffy merch. their service is just okay, standard ordering from a boba shop, nothing really stands out to me. everyone's just doing their job. ambiance is nice though, like i could see myself coming here to work if i lived closer by and i'd bring my little sister because of all the games. but the drinks were just too artificial tasting! we tried three different drinks, a latte, a cold brew, and a banana drink. unfortunately, the drinks were way too sweet even when we ordered about 50-75% sweetness, and the matcha was really lacking the complexity and depth i've come to expect from japanese matcha. especially the cold brew, super watery. i was also super sad when i realize they shook my drink for me, so it was just plain green and i couldn't see any the colors from my matcha cold brew with dragonfruit. i'd recommend to keep it safe when ordering here, because their drinks are impressive in name only. read more
