    Strawberry matcha with boba
    Cassie K.

    This place is so good for a shop so hidden away! I came during my lunch break and luckily it's right around the corner. The shop was quiet and empty but there was a lady working in the back. Once I decided on my order, I rang the little bell in the counter and she came right out. You have the try the strawberry matcha with boba!! I'm not sure what exact kind of boba she used but it's SO good, it almost tastes like brown sugar boba instead of plain cassava boba. I will be coming back to try more of their menu, I have my eye on the panna cotta! :)

    Great Hojicha latte. They seem to use brown sugar which is healthy. Friendly staff, easy to park, no long queue

    Roasted Matcha Rice Latte with oat milk

    Came by on a very hot Saturday afternoon and wanted to try Kinako shave ice and the Roasted Matcha Latte. Both were amazingly good, especially on a very hot day! The Kinako shaved ice was filled with mochi which was a nice surprise and the roasted matcha was smooth. The owner was really sweet and patient! Definitely will come back for the shaved ice :D

    Mango shaved ice cream
    Lauren V.

    New favorite shaved ice in the bay! My biggest pet peeve is when shaved ice relies on ice cream and minimal fruit but you won't get that here. There was fresh mango in every bite, simply delicious and not too sweet in an artificial way. Decor and ambiance is very mom-and-pop small shop which we loved. Service was prompt and very nice too. Already craving it and wanting to come back!

    Honeycomb Latte ($6.75 regular)

    Little small mom and pop shop in the plaza with Burger King. They have various sizes for the drinks (small, regular, large), and a regular specialty latte ran to about $6.75. Prices are not clearly listed on the menu. Their coffee has quite the bitter aftertaste, so I'd be very curious to try their hojicha and especially the bingsu! PASS: + Honeycomb latte ($6.75 regular) has toasted honey and sugar topping, which melts into the drink about 30-46 min later and helps offset the bitterness. Didn't blow me away though because it just tasted like a plain latte with low quality espresso afterwards

    We came in on a Sunday morning and it was not busy and in an unassuming plaza. The lady working was very friendly and we ordered a strawberry matcha and a honeycomb latte. The matcha color was good but it was on the sweeter end probably because of the strawberry jam but it overconsumed the matcha flavor. He got the honeycomb coffee and it was strong and had huge chunks of honeycomb that we weren't sure if it would break down. But it eventually did in about 30 min. The drinks were okay and weren't super impressive but it was worth a try!

    I had high hoped for Kamurocho. It's an unassuming cafe that has a relatively simple menu. However, I was incredibly disappointed by their roasted matcha rice latte. I ordered it with regular milk, hoping to get the flavor of matcha more, but instead the drink tasted like roasted rice and milk. There was absolutely no hint of matcha. Definitely would not recommend for matcha enthusiasts.

    First of all, the owner is so sweet! She greets you with the most radiant smile. Second of all, these drinks are STRONG. If you aren't a regular coffee drinker, it'll hitttt. Our favorite was the kamo, which the owner freshly and perfectly whisked the matcha for. The honeycomb latte was good but I would have preferred smaller chunks so it can fit in the straw. The espresso is rich and the perfect temp. And you can buy matcha to go! A chill spot with cute little anime decor for my nerds, which I am one so I loved seeing the Pokemon cards and whatnot. Will definitely be returning.

    Kinako kakigori
    Judy C.

    I was looking for Japanese shaved ice in the Bay Area and outside of SF, this is one of the few around. While passing through the area on a warm day with my parents, I remembered I had this place bookmarked so we stopped in for a bit. It was empty when we walked in. We ordered two different shaved ice flavors. A bunch of kids subsequently came in after us so the nice lady had to take their orders before she was able to work on our order. We liked both flavors with my mom liking the mango better and my dad liking the kinako better. The ice was so soft and delicate and such a great treat on a warm day.

    Lots of art on the walls. And Garfield.

    Kamurocho- is not the fanciest cafe in the world. But man, it's comfy. We dropped by on fairly quiet, rainy afternoon. There was a large group leaving the cafe, and I thought that was a pretty good sign. We walked inside and found an unassuming interior- but funny enough I grew up visiting many homes that felt the way Kamurocho feels. After taking our order, the lady behind the counter (the owner?) began hand-whisking tea for our lattes. I can still hear the brush swirling around the bowl. We received our order a few minutes later- Mango Kakigori, Black Kamo (espresso & hojicha) Latte, and an Iced Hojicha. The kids devoured their shaved ice while the adults sipped up some tea goodness. It was quiet. There was no music. I don't even know if they have a bathroom or wifi. But we felt at home, at ease. Not every place can do that for you. Thanks for that Team Kamurocho!

    Honeycomb latte
    Wing K.

    Been hearing about this place and finally went under the hot weather to cool down. We got a tiramisu and mango shaved ice and a honeycomb latte. There's only the owner at the time, so the service was a bit slow. She did alternated between orders and we got a shaved ice to enjoy while waiting for the other items. The shaved ice were delicious and amazing! It's airy, soft, and flavorful. The tiramisu shaved ice has cocoa powder and coffee poured over it with boba in the center. The boba tasted so much softer than the regular store-brought boba. The mango shaved ice just has mango syrup poured over it and tasted very refreshing. The honeycomb latte was good and smooth. The sweetness increase as the honeycomb melts into the coffee. The price ($35 total) was on the expensive side but we think the flavors made up for it.

    Iced roasted rice matcha with brown sugar and a cream top which
    Ellyzha A.

    It's been a while since I've last been here (about 2 years) so I was excited to see all the new drinks they had (particularly matcha drinks). Parking is easy as it's located in a plaza and fairly close to the freeway. It's spacious inside with a good amount of seating. I went at around 11:30am on a Saturday right before my movie and there were a few people waiting for their drinks. Drinks were made quickly! I ordered an iced roasted rice matcha latte with oat milk and sweetened with brown sugar then asked if they had a cream top which they were kind enough to do! Service was super awesome and helpful. I would've loved if the matcha was more of a vibrant green but I really enjoyed the roasted rice flavor. Definitely come on by as they have an array of drinks and desserts!

    Mirba E.

    It's a small space, not much ambience and it's a one person operation, but that doesn't stop them from making everything to order. We had the mango kakigori and it was amazing. I also got a strawberry matcha drink, I wasn't so familiar with that combo of flavors in a drink but after some sips I enjoyed it.

Also, the special menu items didn't have their prices listed, but since the regular menu items were very reasonably priced, I thought the special menu probably was just slightly higher. I ordered a Cookie Butter Latte and a cappuccino, paid in cash with a $20, tipped $2 and had $3 and some coins left. Didn't really think about it until we've left - Cappuccino was $4.25, meaning that the Cookie Butter Latte was a $10 drink. Apologies but personally, it didn't taste like a $10 drink. Probably won't go all the way there again.

I came here to try their most popular menu: Himalayan Chiya (hot) w/ almond milk- less sweet, not too much spice, yet comforting to drink since I had a dry throat earlier. Frankie Wrap in Paneer- flaky Himalayan wrap with paneer bits, and vegetables paired with the green sauce, which was my favorite. Nimki- it's like salted pita chips that I recommend dipping it in Chai Chocolate Jaggery Cookie- chocolate chip cookie with brown sugar topping- it was too sweet that I had to take some brown sugar away unless paired well with plain hot chai If you don't want to deal with people while working/studying, come from noon to 3 pm.

The interior was bright, modern, and comfortable. Soft ethnic music played in the background. There were several smaller tables as well as a central seating area with cozy armchairs and a low table next to a welcoming wall filled with games and books to borrow at leisure. Definitely recommended!

    Hidden gem alert…read more Stopped by this coffee shop on the first floor of the mall to meet a friend, and WOW--I'm so glad she picked this spot. Cute little spot with a cozy vibe--there's both couch seating and table seating inside, perfect whether you're catching up with a friend or just hanging out solo. That first sip of coffee? Instant obsession. I was hooked. The baristas were also super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. They've got a great selection of pastries and breakfast options too. I ordered the breakfast burrito (comes with egg, cheese and your choice of protein, plus a veggie option), and it did not disappoint--super satisfying and flavorful. For my drink, I went with an iced vanilla latte with oat milk... and let me just say, it was chef's kiss. Smooth, perfectly sweet, and so refreshing. Safe to say I've found a new go-to coffee spot. Already counting down until my next visit!

Macy s had a cafe and it is also closed at time of this Writ. One of the unique tastes here, is it's Chai although known for it's many mixed coffee drinks and flavours having ample enough syrups to enjoy whilst shopping the Mall inside. In San Leandro is an older one but have seen these around over the years alike Tully's and/or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf now left in The City. That major in iced coffee drinks famously. I had a similar experience couple times I went since grand opening last year to, AnaSofia Z.'s I believe it's okay and food odors mix in a higher ceiling and kept even in a 1st floor setting here. By men's macy's doors down towards center court. Kinda pricey for a Breakfast burro but expected for Mall Lease prices increasing due to less vendors currently renting space differences. Traffic is less except on the weekends, they always have enough staff at this location inside but still training and different persons and like the options on the shelf, but don't know how long it's been there, especially loose leaf tea. Cups are unique and tasteful. I will return for the 5th time, next time and will try a different drink. To us the avacado bagel toast and the quesedilla had more value, than burrito pricing as much as the flavors. My accompanier had the Hot Nutty Cow which was unlike other drinks. So kudos DESI for them for that on the nationwide menu. Another good thing is sugar free hot and cold drinks upforth on the menu giving others a chance to enjoy a beverage while others only use a sugar free syrup only change to anything, ALWAYS defaults Vanilla. Seating is usually full, good for them, but we occasionally found out of the door seating chairs to enjoy our food and beverage seated there. Only a 3*5 due to box chai and the tables dirty but I asked someone they came around the corner and cleaned as we appreciated that. Don't have any photos today, but you will see for yourself next time you go to Stoneridge Mall across from Game Stop, that closed and was vacant blank black on our last visit last week. Ume was around the bend but favors bobba tea and their drive thru closed to re-open as Cowboy Coffee this week.
