Banana Matcha 10/10 - I ordered mine with 25% sweet & it was perfect. The egg sando is decent 7/10. Kiosk is quick & easy to use. Illit music videos playing on the screen. It's not too loud. The decor is cute. You can definitely come work or study here & the service is wonderful. read more

First time here and got the Banana Matcha Latte ($7.99) and Blueberry Matcha Latte ($8.99). We ordered at the kiosk, so I can't say much on service. Inside is cozy and clean. The drinks are mediocre. They taste like artificial sweeteners. The matcha is very watery and lacks flavor. The Banana Matcha Latte tastes better than the Blueberry Matcha Latte, but both don't taste great. read more

Good matcha, not the best I've had, although I've lived near Kyoto for several years so maybe that's not fair. Blueberry sauce had real blueberries crushed. Really nice interior- looks like an art museum. Enjoy the Totoro wall art, cute cat mat, nice uplifting messages on the wall, cute clouds. read more

Came in on a hot afternoon to try this spot and so far so good. Easy to order, using their kiosk. Pistachio Matcha Latte: I enjoyed this, it's very thick and I ordered mine with full ice. 50% sweet, but honestly I could have done 25% , it was still a little sweet for me so I let the ice melt some. After tax and a tiny amount of tip the drink was $9.79 so definitely not cheap but it is flavorful! Their other flavors looks interesting so I'll prob check those out! read more

this is a cute spot for matcha with lots of drink options. It's aesthetic and clean. I tried the iced strawberry matcha and really liked it. The drink came out pretty fast, and it was flavorful. however, I thought it was a bit pricey, especially since the cup had so much ice even after asking for light ice. but if I come back, I'd definitely like to try the strawberry cream sando since it looked really yummy! read more

It was a good stop. It was so quiet inside on a Tuesday morning before 9:30am. There are two self service kiosks which was convenient for placing orders for dine-in or takeout. Menu was plentiful with various selections, so it did take awhile to browse. Interior decorations were cute, cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. Service is minimal, but they do greet you at the front as you pick up your items. Toss your own trash. You will need a code to use their public restroom inside. I ordered their popular strawberry cream sando with the egg potato salad sando on toast breads. Very good. Delicious. Toast was puffy and portions were huge. I like it. Authentic Japanese touch to it. I had the regular matcha milk tea beverage. Light and 50% wasn't too sweet. Love it. Their matcha content isn't heavy, too strong, dark, or bitter in taste. It blends well with the ice and milk balance. Yes, light flavored matcha here. My ham & cheese toast sandwich was the bomb for breakfast. Lovely toasted bread! Both sides were good in color and texture. Nice. I know that I will be revisiting again as I sat inside for an hour or so. Cute pillows. Totoro image on the wall. Kitty cat on the floor mat by the entrance doors when coming from their public parking lot in back. Yes, it's convenient free parking onsite. Good feeling here. Glad I took some time to check it out. Mango matcha beverage looks tempting too. read more

Really wanted to love this place but it was a bit of a loss for me. The egg salad sandwich that I got was lacking in flavor and the potatoes were undercooked. The fruit sandwich, I had high expectations for, and was hoping it would be just like Japan's but it was just eh. I did keep the stars up because I really did enjoy my matcha and I could see myself going back to get another if I was nearby. read more

New kid on the block! Macchi takes over what used to be Flavor Brigade next to Taqueria Don Chepe and Time Thai. I *think* they're a Japanese bakery/cafe since many of their menu items are matcha forward, and they have strawberry/cream sandos and egg sandos! Parking can be limited in the lot, but their vibes are worth the effort :) Very clean, minimalistic design with two order screens and WiFi. I was working from there and saw a lot of students pop by. Turns out they offer a 10% student discount for 11 menu items! Macchi Coffee Corn Latte ($7.99): Ah the price is steep but alas, I hate that I liked it ha! The corn flavor isn't too strong but it's there, and it surprisingly paired nicely with the coffee. I got it 75% sweet which was perfect, and I was tempted to add a foam option. Foam flavors are matcha, strawberry, or banana (!!) for $1.00 or salted caramel, cheese, mango for $1.20. No extra charge for oat milk. Macchi Mix Sando ($11.49): This was half strawberry/cream and half egg potato salad with bacon bits! Packed sandwiches and I was pretty full afterwards, but taste wise nothing too out of the ordinary. They have quite an extensive menu; outside of tea/coffee/baked goods, they also have slushes and ice cream! Next time I want to try the Macchi Thai, matcha banana latte, and/or one of the desserts. Their Buldak and cheese ramen would be perfect for late night downtown drunchies but I think they close at 8:00pm! read more

Service was great and quick. The regular matcha latte didn't taste very fresh and the flavor wasn't quite what I'd call premium. However, the fruit matcha lattes (strawberry and mango) were much better - flavorful and refreshing. The decor is super cute, making it a nice spot for studying. They play kpop music, and you order from the Kisoki. I'd like to come back and try their sandwiches/food next time. read more

I've read the reviews, I feel like those that mention the owner must know the owner, hence the ratings that go along with that. The menu is confusing, a friend brought me a hot banana latte from here and I loved it, so I stopped in to get one myself along with a bite for breakfast. I tried to order a hot banana latte but that's not what I got. I got what was pictured in the menu when I ordered so I didn't complain. I challenge you to find a picture of a hot banana latte, maybe they'll fix it by the time you read this, check out my video of the confusing menu. There was a steady flow of customers but the vibe was a little off. When I was there, no music playing, it just felt meh. I used the restroom and was greeted by a sink for sale, an empty seat cover dispenser, and the remains of two rolls of toilet paper. Having had both the hot and cold banana latte now, I prefer the hot better. The egg salad "sando" wasn't quite like other sandos I've had. The bread seemed like simple white bread from the grocery store, the filling had tons of potato. It kind of had that grocery store deli feel, egg, bacon, tons of potato and mustard/mayo. Not horrible but in my opinion not worth $10.99 (or was $12.99 as seen on the label in my photo) I know this place is new, but... I'm hoping I can go back and have a hot banana latte while this place is still around, it was deelish! read more

Came in around 1:30 on Thursday and i ordered on the kiosk. Super cute decor. Vibe: 5/5 Theres a small parking lot located out back, and a couple of small tables. This place would be good for a quick work sesh but make sure your devices are all charged, I didn't notice many outlets. Service: 5/5 I noticed there was one person working and she was super helpful with everyone, but it did take some time to make drinks.This place is located right next to the HS! Drinks: 3/5 I ordered a matcha latte 25% sweet with oat milk put a note for less milk since I don't like my drinks too milky. My drink was honestly just okay and not too sweet, which is great, matcha wasn't hella strong. I would love there to be a double shot option on the menu. There's not a lot of matcha places in the tri valley. I'm curious to try their other items on the menu such as their corn latte! read more

Matcha was very light in flavor and whether it was the the corn latte or the banana latte, neither one had much flavor. There wasn't anything special about the macchi ham and cheese or the macchi mix sando. I feel like the bread is the key factor in a Japanese style sando and it wasn't moist or pillowy. There were traces of the crust, and it tasted a bit dry even though the strawberry one had a thick layer of cream and the egg sando was stuffed. It was more of a potato egg salad then an egg sandwich. The packaging and the interior of the store was very cute though. read more

Sorry. I hate giving businesses anything less than 4 stars, but here's my honest review... The drinks we got were decent but they're not something exclusive that I can only order there. Also can't tell if they forgot the foam on my husbands drink or if that's just how it is. I thought usually the foam should be on top, but as you can see from the single photo of his matcha, that was right upon receiving it (pre-stirred). I got a half potato salad w/ bacon sando and it was not to my liking. The bread is not fluffy and on par with bread usually used with Japanese sandos. Sprinkled bacon bits that you get from a container only on the outside of the sando, it's not fully mixed in with the potato salad. The potato salad was also a bit too sweet for my liking. Also, the skinny straw available gets buried into your cup if your drink is in the taller cup. The type of lid they use you shouldn't need a straw, but I needed the straw to stir my drink. FYI: the ordering kiosk is at the back of the shop. Makes sense because you really enter from the back because that's where the parking lot is. In addition, they also call out your orders one a time as it becomes ready and don't wait until they're all ready together. read more

Owner was really sweet. Loved their Hojicha, perfect blend. Will be back to try other items.

Quite literally the best matcha in Pleasanton! Banana one is fire so is the strawberry one and even unsweetened is bomb.

I ordered the regular matcha with tiramisu cold foam! I had never heard of tiramisu cold foam before so i was interested to try. Unfortunately was not impressed with my order at all and i wish i ordered something else :( it tasted mediocre and the cold foam did not taste like "tiramisu" to me. For a $9 drink before tip, I was expecting it to taste better than it did. I dont recommend this place if you're looking for a good quality matcha drink. Something I did appreciate here was the service. My drink was served to me in a cracked cup at first and the drink was spilling so I then told the worker and she was very apologetic and remade the drink in a new cup. Lastly, the place itself is nice and had enough chairs for me to sit down and do some work. read more

Macchi is a new dessert establishment that has recently joined the downtown Pleasanton scene. However, I think it has a confusing brand identity as it does an array of boba drinks including matcha, ice cream, and frozen dessert treats. I generally think when places try to be a little bit of everything, it doesn't do anything particularly well. Because of its location in a strip mall is in a building located off of the main street, it has a weird layout where there is both a street-facing front entrance and a side-entrance near the back of the store where you would enter if you park in the parking lot. The two ordering kiosks happened to be located at this side entrance while the main cashier and where orders are picked up are at the front entrance. We came on a late evening and the place smelled of a very strong cleaning chemical. It definitely was not a smell you would want to be inhaling at a place you are looking to enjoy a sweet treat. There's a fair amount of interior seating but everything seems pretty stale and cold. Nothing was very warm and inviting about the interior decor despite it being recently remodeled from the previous tenant. We ordered the affogato and a frozen cheesecake on a stick. Prices are on the high end. Once we got our order the cheesecake on a stick did not appear anything like what it looked like on the ordering kiosk. It turned out that they had given us the wrong item, and admitted that somebody had misplaced the items in their freezer. We ended up getting to keep the incorrect item which was just a plain chocolate covered ice cream sandwich while also getting the item we had ordered. It was pretty standard but at a steep price. The affogato was on the bitter side and the coffee wasn't in particular any good. All in all this will be a one-time visit for us. read more

I recently went and got the orange matcha, banana matcha, the strawberry cream sando, egg sando, and the Korean corn dog. The matcha was a good 4/5 and the strawberry cream sando was comparable to what I have had in Japan. The egg sando and Korean corn dog were both light. The owner was very nice and gave us samples of their matcha soft serve and I am excited to go back again. read more

There aren't many matcha spots in the Tri-Valley, so I was stoke to see one in Pleasanton. I visited during the soft opening and the owner was friendly. The atmosphere was sleek, clean, and inviting. I tried their peanut latte and it was just okay. Mainly, I wasn't impressed with their sandos. The strawberries were too tart and ratio felt off since there was less fresh cream than fruit. It was messy to eat too because the fruit would keep falling off with each bite. They do use bread from Andersen Bakery, hence why it did not taste fresh. I haven't tried their matcha, but based on the reviews, I plan to skip it since I'm picky with my matcha. There's room for improvement, but I wouldn't go out of my way when there are better sandos and matcha elsewhere. read more

Macchi is a very cute spot to order drinks and food from! My favorite drink is the Banana Macchi Matcha and I absolutely love the Egg Sando! The drink had real banana bits in it and was very flavorful; it also balanced very well with the matcha! The Egg Sando was very savory and pleased my cravings. I have a small appetite, and half of the sandwich filled me up! The service is super fast! When I order online, my drinks are always ready when I arrive. And they are always cold as if they were just made when I arrived. When I order in-person, they have the option of ordering on a kiosk (which I prefer because I can take my time when ordering) and ordering from the cashier. And my drinks and food are always ready within 5 minutes. The environment is very cute and comfy. It seems like a good place to relax and talk with friends, or to do some homework/work. read more

I love matcha and it's always hard to find a good matcha place since going to Japan. Macchi ice Matcha (5/5) - strong legit matcha flavor, which I love. I got 100% sweet and a plus is it doesn't taste like grass. Macchi ice peanut latte (2/5) - I got 50% sweet. This was just ok, like drinking watered down peanut butter. Doesn't taste artificial though. Next time I'll try their strawberry matcha! read more

Macchi is a great new addition to Pleasanton. We stopped by to try their specialty strawberry sando. There was a bit of a wait (about 38 minutes), which is expected for a new spot. The sando was good -- the strawberries were sweet and fresh, and the whipped cream was nicely done. The bread could be improved. Looking forward to coming back in a few months once things settle in. read more

I wanted to try this new matcha place since there aren't many cafes that specialize in matcha around here! The decorations and seating area is very nice. My friends and I ordered banana, mango, and strawberry matcha. The color looked very vibrant and promising, but the flavor is off. I can tell the quality of the matcha is not ceremonial grade- it tastes like culinary grade, and has a grainy and bitter taste to it. One thing I appreciate is that the alternative milk (oat) is free of charge. They also will add another matcha shot if it isn't strong enough for you. read more

Best matcha in the Bay! I've tried so many matcha spots in the South Bay and this one is a true hidden gem. Winnie, the owner, is so kind. On my visits she let me try her homemade brown sugar boba and mango sando, and both were delicious. You can tell she really cares about the quality of her matcha, which is why I'll always keep coming back. It wasn't too sweet even at 100% sweetness and didn't taste grainy or overly grassy like others. I also love that she offers oat milk since I'm sensitive to dairy. This is a fairly new place, so I hope many people get to try it out! It's definitely my go-to matcha spot anytime I'm in the area. I'd even drive from the South Bay just for it. read more

New spot in the area! Parking was a bit tough. I think it was because there was a new Boba shop nearby but other than that, it took a minute to find a parking spot. It's a cute quiet café, where you can definitely meet with friends and study. The banana Matcha was OK. I thought it was going to be a little bit more creamer, but they just put bananas in. The tomato itself was okay. I definitely have tried better but it's a cute mom and pop shop! They also have food options ! Hopefully I can stop by and try other things in the menu. read more

I'm not sure what the hype is other than to rep your country lol. I didn't think this pastry was all that. It was perfectly moist, but lacked sweetness. The taste was like something was missing. If I could remix the recipe I would use thinner bread and add some sweetness to the whipped cream (or whatever it is). I wouldn't recommend this place, not my cup Of tea Ps..even my 12 year old don't like it!! read more
