    Got their Matcha Bomb latte with Coconut milk and Matcha gelato - I think I have found my new obsession! As usual their matcha is super high quality, such a beautiful shade of green and they never add any sugars in their drinks or gelato - everything tastes so naturally flavorful!

    Would definitely recommend for a good date spot only if you really like and appreciate her great environment and music as well.

    Wow! This place lives up to the yelp hype. I came here on New Year's Day ~ 4 PM. They were already sold out of the Matcha cake and something else that I wanted now that I can't recall. So I end up getting the Matcha crème brûlée hot drink with oat milk and it was so good. It is not too sweet but just slightly sweet, which is perfect. Desserts are best when it's not too sweet. And I got the Matcha puff which I couldn't help but compared to my favorite Bibble and sip matcha puff in New York City. It's smaller than the cream puff at Bibble and Sip, and just slightly more expensive, but it was still really good and the puff filling was incredibly light and again my favorite descriptor "not too sweet". The interior is also really cute and the large larger tables are reserved for three or more people. They also have cute giant stuffed animals at these tables that you can take photos with and just have a really warm and inviting on beyond. The service was also really great. It was my first time coming and the gentleman at the register came over to help me make my selection given how cold it is. I really wanted a hot drink and so he pointed me to the right direction. I'm so pleased with both of my items. And maybe I'll even swing back before heading back home to DC. Parking is a pain but it's a pain anywhere else in Chinatown. And the bathrooms were clean.

    Got to visit this super cute cafe on a day trip to Philly. Our group went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. We got a variety of drinks and the crepe cake. Everything was delicious would definitely come back next time I'm in the area!

    Such a cute place! Offers variety of drinks and desserts. Great way to start our day with a cup of matcha. Everyone enjoyed their drinks. Great customer service! Drinks came out quick. Cashier was helpful on recommendations. Will come back to try their cream puffs and other desserts

    Such a small and cute matcha cafe, decorated with jumbo stuffed animals in each booth. Great for groups or a cozy cafe date. It is located in the Chinatown area of Philadelphia. The menu has a nice variety of matcha and non matcha drinks and desserts. I ordered the Iced Drip Jasmine Jade Latte (F5) with a shot of matcha. You can tell they use quality matcha from the first sip. It is strong with a deep, earthy flavor. The drink was not too sweet, which was perfect, and the matcha complemented the jasmine tea nicely. Very balanced overall. Staff were very kind and friendly. They explained how to best enjoy each drink and brought everything to our table, which was a thoughtful touch.

    Great experience at Matcha Panda Café. The service was excellent and very attentive. The matcha drinks were rich, smooth, and full of flavor -- some of the best I've tried. The cream puffs and matcha ice cream were also fresh and delicious. The only downside is that they don't allow two people to sit in the booths, as there's a sign stating they are for groups of three or more. Aside from that, everything was great. Highly recommended for any matcha lover.

    Stopped by mid-afternoon to chill and get a drink and had a great experience! The space is cute and comfortable, the employee was very helpful with answering any questions, and our drinks were delicious. The matcha latte with normal sweetness was perfect and the matcha taste was very strong. Definitely would want to try other menu items!

    I come here pretty often, and it's easily one of my favorite spots when I'm craving something sweet. I mostly get the ube puff is and the matcha crepe cake. Super soft layers with just the right balance of sweetness and matcha. Clean and quiet environment, good place to study. Overall, it's a place I typically end up at after dinner in Chinatown.

    The space is very cute! Plenty of seating. There are a few tables for larger parties and a handful of smaller tables. The decor is pretty cute and customer service is pretty nice. You order up front and they'll bring your order once you're seated. The desserts were tasty but I think I'd want a little more matcha flavor. I still haven't tried the soft serve, that'll be next. The drinks are pretty good! I probably wouldn't get the coconut milk matcha again though - it's not made with coconut milk, it's made with milk + coconut powder, which kinda defeats the purpose. Still decent though. Nice little post dinner spot to go with friends/fam/date!

    Got a strawberry coconut matcha and wanted to get a cream puff but they were all sold out unfortunately :/ Matcha was overpowering with the strawberry and coconut and couldn't rlly taste the matcha Decor was super cute though, they had booths with giant plushies and the whole place was cute Service was also rlly good, when we were served the waitress gave us instructions on how to properly drink the matcha to get the best flavor profile

    We came here twice during our mini weekend getaway! The first time, i got it to go. I got banana matcha and strawberry matcha. Both the drinks were really good, good matcha flavor. The second time, we were exploring the area so we sat down to enjoy some drinks and desserts. We got ube gelato, ube cream puff, avocado matcha and a tea drink (can't remember which one). Ube gelato was really creamy and good! The cream puff wasn't bad but the shell was a bit hard and very crumbly. Avocado matcha was meh, it wasn't sweet enough. The tea was good. The staff there were extremely nice and sweet. The cafe was very cute with booth seating which was really nice. Definitely recommend!

A few additional cookies tossed in our delivery for free, made it feel like a better value since we had some leftover to enjoy with morning coffee. Anticipated a long wait given the time & day, but a friendly face handed them to us in less time than Domino's. The Deluxe cookies were a treat w/ the peanut butter varieties a fav, but ALL the cookies, including the ones I didn't pick, were delicious. A little annoying the upcharges for deluxe varieties when I thought that was the point of picking an option that includes them, but the additional free cookies helped soften that. A must for any overnight stay in Philly!

After we finished, they handed us a whole box of cookies just for hanging out and giving feedback. That was a solid surprise and super generous. I swing by Insomnia Cookies on random days too because sometimes you just need a warm cookie to reset your mood. They always come out soft, gooey, and fresh from the oven. The store itself is clean and kind of cool to look at. There's a whole wall covered in giant industrial-style on and off switches. I still wish I could have pulled one just to see what would happen. Staff was chill and genuinely helpful. They were patient while we tried to figure out which cookie was which during the ranking, and they kept the energy light and fun. Same when they handed out the free boxes. Whoever runs the HQ location clearly knows how to make the experience feel special.

We ordered the crispy cheese curds (Wisconsin cheddar, smoked guajillo salsa, and charred scallion ranch). These were a unique take on the classic and I was here for it, definitely try these! I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!

Service was quick and we got seated fast. I ordered the mango dessert with ice cream, sago, and pomelo, and my friend got the tiramisu. The mango dessert was amazing. Super fresh, sweet mango chunks with that natural tropical flavor, paired with creamy ice cream that melted into everything. The sago added a soft, chewy texture and the pomelo gave little bursts of citrusy bitterness that balanced the sweetness really well. It felt light but still indulgent. The tiramisu was also really good. Soft, creamy layers with a nice coffee flavor that was not too bitter, and just the right amount of sweetness. Very smooth and easy to keep eating. We stayed for a while just chatting and were not rushed out at all, which I really appreciated. Not every café lets you sit and relax like that. It is located down a slightly shady alley, but honestly it is fine, especially when it is still light out and since it is in Chinatown. Just feels a little hidden at first. Overall a really solid dessert spot. Not just mango focused, but if you love mango like I do, this place hits.

We're always getting some combination of a couple of classic desserts, a crepe, or pancake. As you'd expect, the desserts with mango are tasty and we're also partial to the ones with durian! Sweet but not too sweet, refreshing, and enough variety to keep things interesting. Toppings also had a great texture. Personal favorites are Snow White juice with durian and black rice, special mango juice sago with pomelo w/ mango ice cream, and mango and black rice. I thought the pancakes were just okay - the crepes for them had an interesting texture to me. Also, the crepes were solid, just not what I'd be coming here for. Black sesame paste soup with rice balls was also mid - the rice balls had a great chewy texture, but the black sesame felt a little lacking.
