The shop is small and busy. Parking is limited. This was my first serious matcha experience, so from what I've read this was good quality. I ordered a large salted honey matcha and my sister got the lavender matcha. The salted honey flavor was neutral and I enjoyed that. The flavor wasn't too overpowering and I was able to taste the quality of the matcha. It was good, I'm now willing to consider a matcha as a beverage choice.
A cute matcha shop in Columbus, OH-- the space was a lot smaller than I expected as there were only about 2-3 tables from what I remember seeing. Their menu was pretty limited as well, but I opted for their special which was the fig and honey matcha latte. Our service was quick, but my only note would be that the staff could've been friendlier- hence why I lowered the review by one star. The staff didn't seem the most enthusiastic or happy, but it's not the biggest deal. The matcha was weighed and hand-whisked which were nice. Overall, I really did enjoy my drink, and I think the aesthetic of both the shop and the drink were very minimal yet cute. I could taste little fig pieces throughout my drink which I enjoyed. I would be back!
Not the biggest matcha fan but I will say it was pretty good for not really liking matcha all that much. I'm definitely more of a coffee girl but it was fun to try something new. The staff was super kind but the high street location is soooo tiny but overall would go back
I visited for the first time on Sunday afternoon, 26 April 2026. I was visiting family for the day from out of town and I came here with a college friend for a mid-afternoon drink. MATCHA DRINKS -- The price is fair as Matcha will be expensive at most places. I ordered the Einspanner Matcha Latte ($7.50) which has vanilla cream top, matcha, and milk. By the way, Einspanner is a German word that means vanilla or vanilla cream. I choose oat milk in my drink which is an extra 0.75 cents. So, I paid a little over $8 with tax for my drink. Tipping is optional. The Einspanner Matcha Latte is great - it isn't too sweet at all. I was worried that the drink would be too sweet but it was perfect especially with ice on a warm day. MATCHA TYPES -- There are various types of Matcha to choose from. They offer traditional Matcha with just water ($5.50), a classic Strawberry Matcha Latte ($7.50), a Lavender Matcha Latte ($7.50), regular Matcha latte ($7.00) which is Matcha with milk, Matcha Lemonade ($6.75), etc. The quality of their ceremonial grade matcha is good and it is sourced straight from Japan. They have 2 different cup sizes that you can choose from and both are the same price. I choose the bigger cup which is 8oz, I think. COFFEE -- Besides Matcha, they also offer a few coffee drinks for purchase such as a salted honey latte, a cinnamon maple latte, etc SERVICE -- Customer service was quick and efficient. There were 3 ladies working behind the counter and they worked fast. AMBIANCE -- Simple layout yet cute. The cafe itself is very small so it is more of a grab and go cafe. There are only 2 tables with 2 chairs on each table inside. That didn't bother me because I wasn't planning to sit in as I took my drink to go with my friend. It was a beautiful day so we took a walk outside towards OSU's campus with our drinks in hand. They sell some merchandise with a 'Matcha Me' logo on them (sweaters and hats). Overall, this is a nice cafe and I will be glad to come back whenever I visit C-bus again. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 50/250 total reviews in 2026 - 891 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 26 April 2026
Yes, yes, and yes. Is it delicious? Yes. Is it worth it? I don't know considering how fast I suck them down. The seasonal banana bread matcha w/ almond milk and cold foam is elite but the lavender is my fave
Cute quaint matcha cafe near campus. This is my new go-to spot for a quick matcha whenever I'm in Columbus. I always get the salted honey matcha latte with vanilla cream top added. It's simply delicious, the matcha is robust, the sea salt and honey combo takes this over the moon! The staff is super sweet and kind. They prepare everything with care which I love. Parking is on the street but available. There's seating but not much. No public bathroom which is fine for this quick matcha experience.
The matchas here are pretty legit. They use the sifter and whisk and it's good quality. I wish you could taste a bit more of the flavor (when choosing a flavored one), but still delicious. This is a cute quaint location. The staff was really friendly.
I have been wanting to try this place ever since I saw it on social media a year ago and I'm so glad I finally had time to visit when I was back in town! It was a little difficult to find street parking since it's near OSU campus. The store itself is cute and relatively small with minimal seating (2 tables). The staff were friendly and patient. We ordered the seasonal banana bread matcha with oatmilk and einspanner cream top and a lavender matcha with oatmilk. The banana flavor paired so well with the matcha! The lavender matcha was also very good. I'd have to say the banana bread matcha was my favorite so I'd recommend that while it's still on the menu. Love how they hand whisk the matcha and make all the drinks in front of you! The only downside is that it was $17 total for both drinks, but it's definitely worth it for a treat yourself kinda thing!
This was a cute hole-in-the-wall place with a couple of seats. The matcha was meticulously weighed out, freshly whisked, and poured to order. The strawberry matcha latte was served with a strawberry sugar coated straw. The straw was a cute idea but it was a coated paper straw so it disentigrated as the sugar melted when drinking from it. The strawberry syrup on the bottom was overpowering the matcha flavor. The einspanner matcha latte was flavorful, and matcha really was the star of the show. Would recommend this drink as a better matcha option!
We made a quick stop in Columbus for some matcha at Matcha Me, a cozy little shop right next to The Ohio State University. After seeing it all over social media, we knew we had to check it out. Pictured are the Banana Bread Matcha Latte and the Einspanner Latte. The matcha had a strong banana flavor that felt natural, not artificial, which I really appreciated. The Einspanner Latte was a solid iced coffee with great quality and flavor. The service was fast and great. She answered all of our questions and the matcha came out very quick right after ordering. If you're ever near campus, definitely stop by and give them a try!
Matcha Me is a cute little shop north of campus. It is small inside with a couple tables, but good lighting. Drinks were overall great! I would have preferred if the banana bread had a little more sweetness to it, but still enjoyed my drink. The staff is very pleasant and provided great recommendations based on your general taste.
The drinks here all look like works of art. There are a variety of flavors and a solid execution on taste. The location is small and doesn't have much standing room, but the service was fast.
This place is walkable from the OSU campus and had a very college-y crowd. Frankly I'm surprised that college students can afford close to $10 for a beverage, though many of them appeared to be accompanied by parental units. Ordering a strawberry matcha got me an aesthetically pleasing set of layers. I couldn't quite get the flavors to mix the way I wanted to, but it was interesting. It apparently comes iced by default, so I gave my leftover ice time to melt before I really got all of the strawberry at the bottom. There were a couple of pastry-type options, but the drinks are the main reason to come.

This cute little Matcha Girlie spot was a godsend for me while visiting Columbus Ohio where there seems to be a lack of quality matcha and cute coffee shops in general. Drinks were great! I went back two times on my trip. I tried the mango matcha which was a bit sweet but still really good and on my second trip I got the Banana Bread Matcha the cherry pop tart was so delicious! read more

Decent matcha and honestly, not bad at all. My friend and I stopped by otw to OSU and thought the drink was enjoyable. It's a really cute little spot with only about three tables inside, so it's definitely small, but I actually liked how cozy it felt. There's something nice about a smaller cafe where you don't have a huge crowd coming in and out. Their menu is on the leaner side, which I really appreciate. I love matcha spots that don't overwhelm you with twenty different combinations and toppings. Sometimes a simple menu with a few good options is all you need. A cute little spot for matcha if you're in the area. Small, cozy and straightforward. read more

The matcha was great! You can tell it is a ceremonial grade matcha rather than a half sugar powered. Loved the different flavor options. The workers were pretty straight forward, not above and beyond but not rude. Could have made the experience better considering there were only two customers in at the moment and could've connected better with us as we're all in such a small space. Be aware of limited parking as you are in Columbus and street parking is usually full. read more

The workers here are absolutely wonderful! Kind, helpful, and quick with their service. Easily some of the best matcha around Columbus. It's a bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it in my opinion! :-) makes for a great little treat once in a while. I always take my friends that love matcha here! read more
Their matcha is soooooo yummy! I have a hard time finding good matcha sometimes but theirs is always so delicious. It's small inside with a couple of tables but the vibes are super clean and good. The workers are super friendly and answered any questions I had. I'm super excited to try their other matcha lattes read more
A teeny tiny little matcha shop tucked into High Street. I loved it! The strawberry matcha latte (modified with oatmilk) was delicious. The strawberry flavor isn't strong at all once mixed, but it mellows out the bitterness of the matcha. It's a very earthy, soft drink with subtle sweetness, unless you take a bite of the straw or drink some of the settled syrup at the bottom. The straw gets mushy and collapses after a long while, but I enjoyed drinking through it while it lasted. Having it sit in the bottom of the cup didn't seem to affect the flavor much. Note that the edible strawberry straws are NOT vegetarian. My friend's matcha lemonade was also delicious. Very refreshing and mellow. The service was friendly and appropriately quiet for such a tiny, minimalist environment. As much as I recommend it, I hope it remains a small, calm environment. There are 2 small tables inside for sitting. read more

They've been on my list since I've seen posts about them on IG. My friend and I were walking around the neighborhood and stopped by. It's a tiny space. Two tables with a couple chairs but the register is right by the door so it can get tight if there's too many people inside. I ordered the strawberry matcha while my friend opted for the matcha with a vanilla cream on top, called the Einspinner. Pretty looking drinks! I didn't think my drink had as strong of a matcha flavor as my friends. So I did like hers a bit more but I'm glad both drinks weren't too sweet. They only served the drinks iced so I'm wondering if they could make them hot. They have a lot of info about their matcha on their website and IG if you're interested. It seems to be of high quality! I will come back to try other stuff from their menu. read more
This new matcha cafe specializes in lattes and handcrafted matcha drinks! You can choose from refreshing options like their strawberry matcha latte, which also came with a cool, edible strawberry flavored straw, or their Einspänner matcha latte. I wished the strawberry flavor was a bit stronger for the strawberry matcha but the strawberry definitely added more strawberry flavor to it. The Einspänner matcha was very creamy and not too sweet. You could tell they definitely put a lot of effort and craft into the matcha tea. If you're not into matcha, they also offer non-matcha options like their salted honey latte or Einspänner latte. Service was quick since there were not many people. If you're looking for baked goods, they have pop tarts and croissants They are a small shop that's tucked away on the street. There are two small tables with seating if you want to enjoy the drink indoors. Would be a good place to stop by if you're in the N High Street area! read more
Highlight: Large Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, Honey, and Extra Matcha ($9.75) Powdery, not very creamy, and more on the grassy side. Tastes more like matcha tea than latte. I added honey and it might be throwing off the taste because it wasn't blended in with the matcha. There's a sweet aftertaste rather than a sweet taste as you're drinking it. Hospitality: Nice baristas and drink came out about 5 minutes after ordering. Honorable Mention: Small shop with two tables. read more

This is my favorite matcha place in Columbus. Their matcha rivals matcha that I have had in Japan, they have great flavor options and their plain matcha is equally delicious. The baristas are all very friendly and make your drink in front of you. read more

Ohio's best matcha! Seriously the cutest little matcha shop. Simple menu but I wanted to try everything. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with oat milk and it was delicious. The matcha is high quality - ceremonial grade - and tastes amazing. They also have homemade poptarts that looked delicious. There are two little tables with chairs inside - a bright and happy space to work. Can't wait to come back! read more

I really wanted to like this place. The service was good. To my knowledge they use ceremonial grade matcha, and their menu looked unique and appetizing. I love matcha, so I was excited. I got the strawberry matcha latte, but it was disappointingly bad. The strawberry syrup/puree was way too strong and artificial, overpowering the slightly bitter matcha. The flavors didn't go well together at all. They also provide sugar-based straws, which is a cute gimmick for the first 30 seconds until it starts disintegrating in your mouth and drink. In the end I was finishing my drink from a tube of broken sugar shards. The quality of the sugar was also very poor and grainy, and did not go well with the flavors of the drink. This is a very small store with only 2-3 tables for seating and a very low ceiling. It was not ventilated very well when I went, but that may be due to how cold it's been and management trying to keep heat in. read more
This place is very hidden and you will probably not find it unless you hear of it elsewhere. It's unfortunate because it is very good. Inside is very clean but tiny with no ventilation, so it can get hot in there with a lot of people. There are a couple of tables inside if you want to enjoy your matcha indoors. The employees inside are very professional and take pride in their work. They made the drinks carefully and even wiped down the rims of the cups so they were presentable. They use authentic matcha and make it in front of you so you can learn how it's made while you wait. The flavors were fantastic. It is a little on the pricier side but that's what you get with authentic matcha. Parking is a disaster since it is around the campus area. read more
Im really glad this matcha bar is located just north of OSU campus, as there's a lot more street parking in this area and makes it easier for non-college people to get in and out. The inside is quite small, heads up. Two two-seat tables and space for a small maybe three or four-person "line" if you want to call it that. I really like how the matcha powder is mixed right in front of customers' view and I can see what's going into my to-go cup. And the matcha is legit grade, big bonus! I don't like espresso, but did want something more than just matcha and plain milk, so I tried their Einspanner Matcha Latte. I forgot to say hot, so it came cold with ice (I'm not an ice fan); the gals working gladly offered to make me a new one, but I threw caution to the wind and took it as is. Verdict? Mmmm mmm mmmm! Smooth, cool, just enough ice but as it melted the flavor was still there 100 percent. I think I got a hint of hazelnut too, so I'm not sure if the gal added a squirt of that too based on our convo; maybe that's what the cream top was...? At any rate, the drink was fantastic! This is a great addition to the neighborhood, indeed. read more

It's so cute in this shop. The only thing is the matcha has no flavor, does not taste like real green tea matcha at all. I don't know what brand they use but it's not like a pure matcha formula. I really wanted to like it. Also the strawberry matcha is legit just strawberry syrup that tastes very unflavored as well. You would think they would use a real strawberry milk or even a flavoring. It's just jelly strawberry paste. read more

Matcha Me is a real cute place located on campus that I think is fairly new. They're a pretty small location, but surprisingly were able to fit a decent amount inside. They're very nice folks and they put so much attention and details to yours drinks. They have non-dairy milk options too! They properly make and add their matcha by finely brushing it into the drink. We got the Strawberry Matcha Latte and the Einspanner Latte and they were AMAZING. The matcha tasted so fresh and clean, unlike many other places where can taste the preservatives. It's slightly more expensive than other matcha, but this is TRUE matcha made with much detail that tastes outstanding so more than worth it. read more

We ordered a matcha latte, einspanner matcha latte, blueberry lemon pop tart, and croissant. The matchas were delicious. The foam cap tasted great. The poptart and croissant were good. But nothing special. There are only two tables to sit at, so it's not really a sit down place. More of a grab and go. The wait can be a bit as it takes a few minutes to assemble drinks. We went on a Sunday around 12:30pm, during Summer. read more
