    Salted Cheese White Champaca Matcha, Pink Guava Matcha, & King Coconut Water Float
    Kiana L.

    I had been seeing Matcha Town all over online, so I knew I had to stop by and try it. I wanted to try one of their gelato cakes too, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance this time. I'll definitely be coming back for it though. I ended up trying the Salted Cheese White Champaca Matcha, Pink Guava Matcha, and the King Coconut Water Float, and they were all really good. The Salted Cheese White Champaca Matcha had a nice floral note that paired well with the matcha, while the salted cheese foam added a creamy, savory touch without overpowering it. The Pink Guava Matcha surprised me because the guava was light and refreshing, making it a great balance with the matcha. The King Coconut Water Float was also really refreshing, especially on a warm day, with the coconut water keeping it light while the ice cream made it extra creamy. Speaking of the ice cream, I got to sample a few of the gelato flavors, and I was honestly surprised by how unique they were. I thought the rice gelato sounded like such an odd flavor at first, but it ended up being one of my favorites. It had a subtle toasted rice flavor that was creamy, comforting, and unlike anything I've had before. I didn't end up getting a scoop this visit, but next time I'm in the area, it's definitely at the top of my list. The workers were incredibly sweet and helpful. My sister accidentally ordered a drink that came with milk and later realized she forgot to ask for a dairy-free option since she's allergic to dairy. Unfortunately, that particular drink couldn't be made with a different milk, so they helped her choose another drink instead. Since the replacement drink didn't come with matcha like she originally wanted, the worker kindly gave her a side of matcha cream to help accommodate her. She ended up loving it, and I really appreciated how thoughtful and accommodating they were. The place itself is clean, well kept, and beautifully decorated, making it a really nice place to sit and enjoy your drinks. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in the area, especially to finally try one of their gelato cakes.

    They have white champaca, which is a white floral tea, that was really delicious and I've never had anything like it anywhere else. Loved their green tea #5, pistachio and black sesame as well. So good! Went back a second time to get the white champaca, pistachio and the new blood orange & bergamot. The blood orange & bergamot had bits of dark chocolate and was refreshing, perfect for a warm day. The pistachio blew me away. One of the best pistachios I've had. Really loved the chocolate as well. The creamy rice had little bits of rice in it. I didn't care for this one as much. The chocolate is really amazing too. Gahhh!! So many flavors excel and I can't tell you which one is my favorite but here's my attempt at ranking the flavors I've had so far: 1. Chocolate, pistachio, green tea #5, jasmine green tea, white champaca, black sesame (in no particular order) 2. Blood orange & bergamot 3. Yuzu & Shiso 4. Creamy rice

    Got lucky and came on a saturday morning and the line was short. Ordered the king coconut water float with no. 5 matcha and pink guava matcha. I'm not a super huge fan of coconut water but the coconut water float was light and refreshing! I also love a strong matcha flavor so no.5 matcha gelato was delicious!! The pink guava cream was yummy as well.

    Been wanting to try this place for a while, but every time I passed by, the line was always super long. We stopped by around 8:30 tonight and luckily there was no wait at all. They had a great selection of gelato flavors, and I ended up getting the jasmine matcha single scoop, which I absolutely loved. The flavor was rich, smooth, and not overly sweet. The drinks were also pretty good with a strong matcha flavor that tasted authentic and satisfying. The interior is beautiful and very well decorated, making the whole experience feel cozy and aesthetic. Overall, I really enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back to try more drinks and gelato flavors next time.

    Matcha Town...I see you!! A solid 5 ***** for me! My friend raved to me about Matcha Town and how I had to try the gelato here. She was NOT wrong... The gelato here is absolutely amazing; packed with flavor to the max, without being overly sweet. In fact, the Chocolate gelato was some of the best I had. Parking in the plaza can be arduous, the plaza gets packed. Be prepared to wait in line. The venue is not the biggest, there is a bit of room to stand around inside along with two benches, that's about it. I suppose they don't want you to hang out inside. Place your order at the kiosk. The staff is fast and efficient. When it comes to gelato, place your order and wait in line. They let you sample flavors when its your turn. I think I tried all the gelato flavors on offer, the handful of times I been here. lol GELATO FLAVORS: ~ White Champaca - 5/5 This was my first introduction to White Champaca. I had to look up what it is. Very unique flavor. Do try it out... ~ Jasmine Matcha - 5/5 You can actually taste the Jasmine, it's not just hints of Jasmine , perfectly balanced with the Matcha. ~ Chocolate - 5/5 Dark Chocolate gelato. Some of the best I had. ~ Black Sesame - 4/5 While it's very good, I had better elsewhere. Not as bold as I hoped. ~ Hojicha - 4/5 Sold Hojicha flavor. I had better before. ~ Pistachio - 5/5 Excellent Pistachio gelato, bold Pistachio flavor. ~ NO.2 MATCHA - 5/5 Brilliant Matcha gelato, without being overly bitter or sweet. ~ Yuzu - 3.5/5 Not for me, but will absolutely recommend to Citrus lovers. ~ Pineapple & Passion fruit - 3.5/5 Also not for me, on the tangier side and not enough Pineapple. ~ Blood Orange & Bergamont - 3.5/5 Again not for me, on the tangier side, but the Blood Orange comes through. Yeah... I foresee myself as a regular at Matcha Town.

    There were so many options to pick from ranging from lattes to milk teas to gelatos. If I could physically take in all of the selections, I would but maybe some other future trips here. I went with a guava matcha milk tea because that is a combination that was different and unique to me. Upon receiving the drink, I took my first sip and was hooked. I kept sipping and sipping, and before I knew it, it was gone! The store itself doesn't have much of a hangout area. It's pretty much just a long bench area with two tables. One last thing! Their souvenirs are pretty cute!

    The ice cream was the standout for me over the guava matcha. The guava matcha was good as well but I felt like the guava was stronger than the matcha flavor. The ice cream was such a pleasant surprise though--very thick and creamy. The hojicha and rice flavors were both very good but I especially liked the texture of the rice! I also got to try the matcha number 5 (a little bit bitter) and white champaca (very good.)

    Had the chance to try matcha town which was a great experience! I had heard many things about this spot before so I wanted to check it out and try it myself. This is a causal spot with not much seating, but great for ice cream and drinks! The service here is fast and the parking is there but the plaza is quite crowded. For our order we tried: * matcha guava drink - this was yummy with strong matcha flavor but when you stir the drink enough you will definitely get a nice guava flavor. * ice cream - we got the pistachio flavor and the new blood orange flavor of ice cream and this was soo yummy! We loved the combo and would absolutely come back to try this again! Cakes here are expensive but want to try this next time as well!

    Jasmine Matcha and black sesame gelato

    Been here twice now. First time I tried their matcha latte, second time for their gelato. Matcha latte: 2/5- the matcha is very light and milky. I also tried the guava matcha latte. The guava overpowers the matcha, but again matcha flavor is quite light. Gelato: 4/5- I've tried several flavors of the gelato. The gelato is good and has strong flavor. I wouldn't recommend the drinks but would come here for the gelato.

    Yuzu and shiso, white champaca (small,$7.50)
    Sandee L.

    We all know what matcha is, but what the heck is champaca? We were intrigued after watching ChonkyABG on YouTube rave about this flavor of gelato. According to Google AI, "Magnolia champaca is a large, evergreen tree known for its intensely fragrant flowers". Cooooool. They have five different levels of ceremonial matcha and unique flavors like yuzu and shiso, creamy rice, and white champaca. Stoked they offer samples! They were all so creamy and yummy, but I finally settled on the yuzu and shiso and white champaca. Two flavors come in a "single". The champaca gelato had little crunchy bits of cookie, which were quite delicious too. I love anything yuzu and shiso and this gelato did not disappoint: seemed more like a sorbet than a gelato though. We also got an iced white champaca. The white champaca was refreshing with a slight floral note. The drink definitely creeps up on you with its floral-ness as you continue to sip. Line out the door here always, but it moves pretty fast.

    Order was super easy on the tablet and the drinks came out quickly. I got the hojicha and White Champaca Matcha. I really enjoyed the tea flavor of the White Champaca but once I mixed in the matcha top the tea wasent as strong anymore. Next time I go back I would preferred to just get the White Champaca without the matcha top

    White Champaca Matcha + Salted Cheese Oolong Matcha

    More and more Matcha!!! I have been putting off coming here because the line was super intimidating, but finally caved because I needed that sweet lil treat after work! Ordering is easy and straightforward on the kiosk. Not a tonnnn of room to stand while you wait for your order since there's a small strip along the wall for sitting and otherwise a line for the gelato orders. The drinks didn't take too long and I was very happy that there wasn't a huge line when we came. The drink itself was delicious! I remember liking the white champaca when I tried it at molly tea so I figured a white champaca matcha was the move. It was floral and creamy and the exact sweet treat I was looking for!!! Honestly this is a probably a spot I will come back to for a matcha fix !!!! YIPPEE FOR A GREAT NEW SPOT!!!!

    One of my new favorite places for Asian-flavored gelato! Of course, they are also well known for their matcha drinks, but what blew me away was the quality of their gelato. I liked it so much we ended up going two days in a row for a sweet treat after dinner. We came in around 7pm on a Friday and Saturday night and there was basically no line to order at the kiosk. A stark contrast from a couple months ago when they first opened. Service was quick and efficient with a separate line to sample and choose gelato flavors. I also really liked the open-air vibe of the storefront. Do beware: parking in the Cupertino Village plaza can be tough at times. Salted cheese matcha float: I was very impressed with this dessert drink! The huge scoop of matcha gelato on top essentially made it a 2 for 1, dessert + latte. And the salted cheese was subtle, which I appreciated. Assorted gelato: Really liked the creamy rice, pineapple passionfruit, and black sesame flavors! Unfortunately the white champaca gelato has pistachios in it so I couldn't try.

I've never had a negative experience with the employees at this shop, who let you sample a couple flavors before you order. The inside is small and feels vintage. There's a couple tables indoors and more seating outdoors. I genuinely love the gelato here. It may be for sentimental reasons, but I truly think the gelato here is unmatched by any other ice cream place I've visited. I love the soft and slightly stretchy texture of the gelato. It's definitely softer than other ice cream I've tried, but I honestly prefer this type of elasticity. The flavors are very classic: I love the strawberry fresca, lychee, and stracciatella flavors. This is definitely a comfort spot for me and home to some absolutely delicious gelato!

There's something special about strolling along Historic Murphy Avenue after dinner and finishing the evening with gelato, especially with the beautiful weather we've been enjoying lately. My all-time favorite gelato flavor is banana. Unfortunately, I usually leave gelato shops disappointed because they either don't carry it or try to make it too fancy. I've been told I'm a "purist" when it comes to food, and I have to agree. Nothing ruins banana gelato for me faster than mixing it with chocolate, caramel, or other add-ins (except for nuts). I like banana to taste like... banana. So you can imagine how excited I was to see that their banana flavor was simply that--banana. Even though I ordered a small, the gentleman behind the counter kindly offered me two flavors. I happily added Chocolate Mint. While preparing my order, the grandson shared that his grandfather was in the back making another batch of banana gelato by mashing fresh organic bananas. In fact, many of their fruit gelatos are made with fresh fruit. That's one of the things I miss most about Italy, where so many gelaterias rely on simple, high-quality ingredients. My banana gelato was delicious and exactly what I'd hoped for--fresh, creamy, and pure banana flavor. My husband ordered Mango and Lychee. Those were delicious too. One final note: they don't offer samples, and it's clearly stated on the display case. Personally, I appreciate that policy. We've visited shops where endless sample requests slow the line to a crawl. My philosophy is simple: if I enjoy it, I'll be back. From so many flavors to choose and 365 days in the year, there's no reason to make one decision your final one. Just come back next time and try something different.
