    The most amazing matcha! You can tell the matcha here is quality compared to other places. It's so good it's hard to get matcha anywhere else. I got the original matcha latte and jasmine matcha latte. They also have matcha icecream and it was thickly and creamy. Service is quick and friendly. They also have a self kiosk to order on your own. They're always busy but knock out the line quickly. The shop is clean and bright with lots of seating.

    The ambiance was quite nice with cool decor and service moved pretty fast. Unfortunately, the giant matcha roll dessert was underwhelming and had a very foreign taste to it even though I've had matcha in Japan before. Probably just not the right taste profile for me unfortunately.

    Has ice cream, drinks and pastry items, all with match or Asian flavors~ very cute and easy to spot, and busy. Location is small and first come, first serve seating/tables. Our drinks were prepared quickly! I ordered the match red bean latte with oat milk, bobba topping and iced. My partner got the matcha latte with whole milk. My drink was sweet but not too much, with the sweetness coming from the red bean pieces and bobba. The match is delicious~ perfect. My partners drink is very good. No bad comments about our treat! Tables could be cleaner and properly sipped down more often, but a good spot for a solid matcha drink~ my rating is high for the quality and taste of the matcha, which is a huge part of their brand.

    We ordered two ice cream bowls with shots of espresso and Matcha on top. Each of these was a twist and not necessarily what they had on the menu, which I guess led to the staff becoming very mixed up, and needing to remake both of our ice creams. Surface was also very slow, and there is not much seating on the inside, and there is a line out the door. Even outside, seating is hard to come by. The ice cream itself is very, very nice, especially the red bean at the bottom as an add-on. I would say the ice cream is not terribly sweet, but works very very well with the extra sweet red bean. I would consider getting takeout from here, if I didn't think it would melt quickly.

    Rating: 4.3 Came to try due to recommendation by a friend. It's a matcha focused tea shop that also offer soft serve, bubble tea, mille crepe cake, parfait and more. I'm assuming that the name kyo comes from kyoto which is known for matcha. It was busy inside but service was quick. Inside is pretty small and only has few seatings. Outside seatings are also available. We ordered matcha latte and matcha red bean latte with boba. The tea was ready within minutes and they were pretty good. I didn't get the matcha soft serve but i assume it's good as well. Overall a solid spot especially for matcha lovers. Would come back when i'm in the area and maybe try their soft serve or combine it with tea.

    The Hojicha latte with Matcha ice cream float was exactly what I was craving - earthy, slightly smoky, and perfectly balanced in sweetness (as any good Asian dessert should be). The flavors were spot on, and the presentation was beautiful. My only complaint was the amount of ice. For nearly $10, it felt like I got more ice cubes than tea, which was pretty disappointing. As much as I loved it, I'm not sure the portion justifies the price.

    This place is so good!! I would totally recommend getting the matcha soft serve because it's soo good! The matcha doesn't need anymore sweetness i think it's pretty good with the amount they add. The workers were quick and nice!

    This is the best matcha cafe in Boston! I love how cute the inside of the shop is (even though it's small) and the matcha here is fire! It's in a good area as it's near an H-mart and some good nearby restaurants. Street parking is relatively easy to find. It's a chain, but they serve awesome ice cream, tea, cake, latte, and slush drinks. Last time I was there, they had some really unique cakes including a matcha tiramisu cake and a mango crepe cake. My favorite items on the menu are their ice cream (matcha, vanilla, hojicha), parfait (has corn flakes for a nice crunchy texture, delicious red bean, and tasty rice mochi) and ube tower cake. You can order at the front from an employee or a self service kiosk. There are two gender neutral bathrooms in the back. Also, there are utensils and a glass water jar near the food pickup area. The tables are small and mostly for two people, but they do have outside seating available. They had EDM music playing in the background. Overall, I'll be back here to get my matcha fix!

    Inside

    Some of the best matcha I have ever had! Kyo Matcha combines my two favorite things. Ice cream and matcha! The inside is super cute and green with just a few small areas to sit. The staff here are super friendly and move out the orders super quick even with the super long lines. I ordered a matcha float with red bean and mochi and oh my gosh it was so good I could have cried. It was so creamy and fresh and the matcha flavor was so rich!! I cannot wait to come back here when I come to Boston next!!!!

    Kyoto Milk Tea w/ Boba and Matcha Latte Float
    Generous Y.

    For a place that specializes in matcha (assumed by name), they do like to skimp. Was also unimpressed by the matcha flavor, which may be correlated with the lack of matcha used. Soft serve on the other hand, was delicious. I'd probably recommend skipping drinks here and just going for soft serve. Matcha Latte Float - absurd amount of ice, more than i've seen anywhere. I figure there's a recipe but that means they're skimping on the matcha and filling the cup to mislead. Matcha latte was quite mild, watered down and not much flavor. Ice cream was great though! Creamy and flavorful. Maybe they should just melt their matcha ice cream for a better flavor. After finishing, the ice quite literally piled to the top of the cup.

    I haven't tried this place for a very long time purely because I didn't want to wait in a long line! I decided to stop by on a weekday about 15 minutes after their opening time. There were already other customers inside, and even after I ordered, I still waited about 10-15 minutes for my item because there were a lot of takeout/delivery orders to fulfill. I got a matcha float ($8) with a matcha-milk swirl on top. The matcha soft serve had a decently nutty tea flavor and wasn't too sweet. I actually liked the milk flavor more, which was very creamy! I got the matcha tea without any sweetener to taste the tea. While I definitely felt the caffeine in the tea, the flavor itself was pretty mild. I would expect the flavor to be even more mild if I had gotten a latte or added sweetener to the matcha. I look forward to trying their hojicha flavor and some of their other soft serve flavors next time.

    Matcha Soft Serve
    Angelina R.

    So tasty!! If you're a matcha lover like me, you'll love this spot too. They have a wide variety of sweet treats all centered around their high quality matcha flavors. I highly recommend the soft serve; it has a perfectly light matcha taste that's both sweet and refreshing! Additionally, the self-ordering allows for fast service and, although there's a small interior, it doesn't seem too crowded even when it's busy. We had no problem finding a table. This spot is honestly great to visit with friends, and they're open late so it's a fun place for a little night time dessert run! The atmosphere are clean, vibey, and so fun!

The market sells a wide array of Japanese snacks, tableware, and food, with an on-site counter selling fresh snacks and drinks. They have onirigi, curries, little pastries, and many teas. I tried their matcha latte and mango crepe cake which were amazing. The interior has such a peaceful design and it's a pleasure to be in while browsing.

I probably would have loved it in my 20s. They do have a room with tatami mats & exposed brick with the vibes I was hoping for, but a woman is talking and gesticulating animatedly in there, and at another table there's a toddler, whereas the tables on the floor are ironically much quieter. Maybe I'll check out that room next time? I get the establishment isn't responsible for patrons' volume or meltdowns. They have signs asking you not to stay more than 90 minutes...which I find fascinating, as the ambiance doesn't lend itself towards lingering. Nonetheless, 4 stars because I really enjoyed my first iced Houjicha Latte. In the future, I'll take my drink orders to go.

    This hidden gem of a Japanese matcha shop near MFA has a history evident in its decor. It's…read moredefinitely run by Japanese (not Chinese), which is quite rare. They offer four types of ice cream: matcha, hojicha, ube, and yuzu. There are flavor restrictions (see menu) for mixes, but you can have any combination. A cup costs $7.75 and is enough for two people. Matcha Soft Served Ice Cream: It looked ordinary, but the taste was authentic and pure, with a rich, bitter and fragrant aroma. For most palates, it might even be a bit too bitter. According to the shop, they use matcha from Harima Garden播磨園, Uji宇治. The texture was also very smooth. Ube Soft Served Ice Cream: After seeing the annual "Art in Bloom", I felt the taro flavor was more suitable for the blooming flowers of spring. Spring should be sweet, not bitter! It also had a very pure and natural flavor, not too sweet, but very fragrant. Its texture was a bit smoother than the matcha one. I'd love to try the parfait and drinks next time! However, you need to pick up your food at the counter yourself, and it gets crowded and chaotic on weekends.

Everything else always feel like a bit of a let down (hence the one star off).

The ice cream croffle is another great choice to try! The strawberry ice cream is mixed in with fresh fruit pieces and is mixed in a flavorful texture to the croffle.
