The cafe serves a variety of matcha-based drinks and desserts. I got the Roasted Oolong with Matcha Cloud. which was the right amount of sweetness. The matcha foam was creamy, if you want a stronger matcha flavor I would recommend getting a latte instead, but it was still a very nice drink. Nice ambience and friendly staff!! read more

This is my second time visiting a Matcha Panda location, and I'm happy to say the quality is just as good as the Chestnut Street one. They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown. read more

Tried the matcha crepe cake with high hope. Giving this 1 star. Matcha tastes seaweedy/fishy. So weird. Taste horrible. No more next time. Update: the rating for this shop is fabricated and inaccurate. Shop manager did reach out, offer refund and a gift card for a second chance. I appreciate that but it comes with a catch. I was asked to remove the 1 star review twice. This is why you don't see the low rating from yelp. The shop leverages yelp to build a highly recommended brand that drives you to their door. I do not intend to return, and there is a need for consumers to review all comments (good and bad) and let them make the right decision for themselves. In case you are not aware, their crepe (~$13) is priced way higher than lady m (~$8) but quality is nowhere near. read more

I came in from California and immediately started searching for a matcha spot. I was in the area and came across it. They offer samples of their soft serve flavors! I personally thought the matcha one was the best. The service was quick and informative. And I loved the little booths they had, it was adorable. That aside, I do think the drinks are mediocre. I ordered their most popular, Mango Matcha and their Hojicha Latte. Sadly I was disappointed, the mango matcha was VERY sweet, but the texture was creamy. I just couldn't get over the overpowering sweetness of the mango puree, but that's my personal preference. The mango flavor itself wasn't bad! Maybe half sweet would be the way to go, Im not sure if they do adjustments. If you love yuzu, I don't recommend their yuzu soft serve HOWEVER their matcha soft serve is pretty yummy Their Hojicha was watery...I really hoped it would be better. I don't recommend it. No further comments. read more

I need to be so honest about this place, I've come here on several occasions and while I think their matcha is good... I don't love their options! I always find myself having a hard time choosing a drink because many of them have dairy embedded into the interesting aspect of the drink. I always end up being just okay because I can't get the actual thing I want. I do think it's nice you have some non matcha items on the menu for those folks who are just there to support their matcha addicted friends. Overall matcha profile is great, make more nondairy friendly items!!! Also more hot drinks!! read more

Went to matcha panda cafe in Philly Chinatown bc it had like a 4.9 star rating. They have various matcha drinks and gelato. I got the matcha latte gelato bomb and my brothers got the mango and creme brulee matchas. They had pretty nice lighting at every table and they open late. Unfortunately, I thought the matchas were not sweet enough at all. I know Asians like less sweet but this felt like no sweetness at all. Wasn't a fan :( read more

My daughter and I are visiting matcha cafes as our little project this summer. This place was a great find! It's so cute. My oolong with matcha cloud was a first for me. I enjoyed it because it was just the perfect amount of sweet for me. My daughter enjoyed her coconut mango matcha. The matcha ice cream was really good (the waffle cone was good too). This is a great spot for those with peanut allergies. My daughter who loves cheesecakes normally can't eat them in many places so she was really happy to enjoy one here. Service was good. Love the cuteness of the drinks. read more

Matcha Panda is an adorable cafe tucked into the street - it's easy to miss because the front facade is very small, but don't be fooled - there is a lot of seating in the back! They have a wide array of matcha-based desserts, from crepe cakes to soft serve to drinks! I tried a matcha soft serve, and was immediately impressed by how vibrant the green color was, which often signals higher quality match. The ice cream was rich and smooth but delicate in flavor, not overpowering. My husband tried the mango matcha coconut drink which was also delicious! Service is fast and friendly. read more

A nice little treat. The Matcha Cloud Americano was good. Not spectacular but good. Unique for sure although I think I prefer a traditional americano. The nice cream was smooth and tasty even if on the pricey end. A cute spot that is equal parts vibe and taste, although I wish it leaned more into the taste (food quality and price). I'm not disappointed but wouldn't go back unless I happen to be in the area. The staff though was the best part. Very kind and helpful. Perhaps a bit understaffed but still friendly and overall pleasant to interact with. read more

Came over on a Saturday afternoon at around 3:30 pm and we were able to order immediately. There were regular tables and booth seatings with giant plushies seated at some. They had some different options from cream puffs to drinks to ice cream desserts. Matcha Gelato - It was a pretty large sized ice cream and the matcha green was such a vibrant deep color. The gelato itself was creamy and smooth that contrasted well with the crunchy, fresh cone. We enjoyed the quality and the textures of the matcha ice cream and highly recommend this place if you're in the Chinatown area for dessert! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I'm always wary of matcha cafes because they often disappoint and can suffer from any one of the matcha sins such as grassy matcha or watered down matcha. This place ,however, exceeded my expectations. I got the matcha latte with the matcha gelato and it was creamy, had a strong matcha flavor, and the drink itself was not too sweet. I also just love the decor around this place and how there were giant plushies in every stall. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good matcha spot! read more

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! read more

if you're ready to pay eight dollars for less than 6 ounces for Matcha, that's not even that great this will describe that location The serving size is very tiny, but I think it's intentional because they give you strong Matcha however it's not good it's a very vibey place if you wanna have good vibes or a like first date But if you're in the hustle and bustle and you actually want to get a good qualities drink this is probably not the right place read more

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! read more

My friend told me when I came to visit Philly that there wasn't a lot of REALLY good matcha places in her area. So I hunted around and found Matcha Panda! We visited and the place was very pretty! I loved the decor and the big stuffed animals they had at the booths! The staff was very very friendly! We got the creme brûlée, the banana milk, the banana milk matcha, and the gelato bomb drink! We were all extremely impressed by the quality and strength of the matcha. After having very watered down, pale green matcha drinks, we were in heaven. All of us could not stop singing praises for each others drinks. Not a single bad thing to say about any of them. The gelato bomb had the most smooth, perfectly sweet delicious gelato on top and a pretty un sweetened matcha underneath. It was an amazing combo. The banana milk matcha felt like drinking banana bread in the best way (we got another before we left). Everything was totally amazing. We all considered buying an entire tin to bring all the way back home. I would absolutely recommend Matcha Panda to anyone who truly loves Matcha read more
