Piyathida R.

The matcha was really good! Super rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness. I really enjoyed it! The shop is pretty small and always seems to be busy, so I'd say it's more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to sit and hang out.

#3 matcha and hoji
Michael D.

Fast service! Great gelato. Thank you! I got #3 matcha and hojicha. Solid options. Will definetly want to try chocolate and Hokkaido milk!

Very clean cafe. Matcha was very fresh and smooth. Wide variety of ice cream and with a free samples. Large variety of matcha selection as well

Strawberry parfait
Mary N.

This place was super crowded and busy when we dropped by. It was also very hot outside and uncomfortably warm inside. Why aren't they blasting the ac? We got the strawberry parfait and it had some matcha foam at the top so I don't know how the regular matcha drinks and ice cream taste but the parfait sucked. The strawberries were very sour and everything else wasn't very sweet so it tasted unbalanced and bland. Maybe the regular parfait would have been better but the matcha foam still didn't taste like anything? Also, it took a really long time for them to make the parfait. Drinks seem to come out faster so probably skip the parfait. We walked there but if you drive, the parking lot is insane and you won't find parking like every other plaza in Koreatown.

So great beyond my expectations. No wonder why there was a sea of people inside when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The pink drink in the photo was the guava matcha cloud which completely surprised me with its refreshing taste. Love it! I made the mistake of getting the option 1 matcha gelato, it barely had a matcha flavor.

I really like this matcha place in ktown! They have both ice cream and drinks. I got the gelato with ultra matcha and jasmine matcha. I really enjoyed both the flavors and they give a good amount. I got the sheep latte which was super cute for pictures. I also got the xtra matcha and it had a really strong matcha flavor. Could be in the bitter side if you like ur matched sweeter so I would reccomend 100% sweetness. I got the lychee coconut matcha as well but I would pass on it since the matcha flavor was overpowered by the lychee. Staff was really busy when I went on a weekend afternoon but service was great still. Parking is a little difficult but there's street parking if ur lucky.

Cheese matcha
Stella N.

The cheese matcha is phenomenal!!!! Gotta be my fav matcha place in LA. Top 2 and it ain't 2 :-) There is a parking lot with valet, but it's not that big given how much is in the plaza. Service is decent, they need more people making drinks. Order kiosks with a wide variety of drinks. Not much for coffee drinkers!! The gelato is thick and creamy AF. It's pretty loud in here. Wish there were bathrooms. Truly my biggest complaint.

Chocolate gelato
Hannah S.

Wow how yummy! Such high quality matcha and I love how you can try different levels of strength and types of matcha. I got #4 (so pretty strong) and I loved it. If you're a matcha newbie, maybe opt for #1 or #2 ;). B sure to try to chocolate flavor! It's SOOOOOO DECADENT!!! Chocolate lovers dream I look forward to returning to try one of their matcha drinks.

The service here needs serious improvement. 3 workers all with their backs to the customers for minutes at a time and when one finally turns around to see you or another customer waiting, they don't even say anything. I was just trying to get a sample before ordering and that took longer than actually ordering. Then the wait to my order? Nearly 15 minutes for one cup of ice cream. I ordered the Hokkaido and Extra matcha #4 cup, about $9. They advertise this as gelato but it's way too hard and it's more like ice cream, but it's probably due to the freezer and how cold the ice cream is kept. The matcha flavor was bold and had amazing matcha flavor, and it paired so well with the Hokkaido milk. I just wish they had some sort of flight or sampler to get all the matcha flavors.

8/27/2026 MATCHA PARFAIT (A layered Japanese matcha dessert with jelly, shiratama mochi, anko, roasted rice, soft cake, matcha gelato and top with ceremonial matcha cream). Very good! Layers of matcha jelly, red bean, small, round pellet-sized mochi balls, matcha gelato, matcha cream, crunchy sweet topping. Beautifully made and served with a small spoon on the side. The matcha itself was sweet, light bitterness. Parfait was light in sweetness overall. It says it takes between 15-20 mins to prepare, so order right away if you plan on getting it. I came here on a weekday, so it took about 8 mins. for the parfait. The only minus is that the pellet-sized round mochi balls were frozen together. It slowly melted as you ate, but it was annoying to eat. Overall, I enjoyed the parfait. MATCHA LATTE WITH MATCHA GELATO The matcha latte itself was lightly sweetened. No milk. Clean flavor. It comes as it is without being able to customize it to your liking. Matcha was sweet and light grassy flavor. You can choose whatever gelato you want. I chose the Uji Matcha #3 gelato. The Uji matcha gelato had a deep matcha flavor, sweet, light grassy flavor, light bitter flavor. It is made with lots of ice, so it is icy in some parts. Since you cannot customize the matcha latte itself, it was not worth getting with the matcha gelato. Better to get the matcha gelato and the matcha latte separately. Also ordered the Marukyu Koyamaen 丸久小山園 Matcha, Chigi No Shiro 千木の白(40g). Haven't tried it yet, but happy I could purchase their matchas in store. Ordered it via kiosk. SNACKPASS (Online Ordering System) You can order online and pickup via Snackpass. https://order.snackpass.co/matsumatchala. Simply Google: Matsu Matcha Ktown. Never tried their online ordering system, so I cannot write my experience on it. CUSTOMER SERVICE Ordered via self-order kiosk. So very limited customer service interaction. They simply call your name or order number when your order is ready. PARKING Very small parking lot, so best to come as soon as Matsu is open. If you cannot find parking inside the Matsu lot, you will have to park at another business parking lot and walk over. If I am in the area, I am definitely revisiting to try their other items.

Valet parking for $3. Small plaza. Cute interior, self-ordering via kiosks. Reward program is available. Gelato: - Extra Rich Matcha (+$0.50) - 4.5/5. worth the extra cents as it tastes much stronger, less sweet, very smooth and creamy. - Uji Matcha - 4/5. Perfect middle ground, not too sweet not too strong. - Mango Sherbet - 4.6/5. Strong mango taste, very fresh, not too sweet. Highly recommended! - Hokkaido Milk - 4.5/5. Smooth, perfect sweetness, creamy. Pairs well with extra rich or ultra rich matcha! Drink: Triple Matcha (Matcha latte, matcha cream top & matcha jelly) - 4.2/5. I had 50% sugar and it was still too sweet, overpowering the matcha flavor despite having 3 different types of matcha. Otherwise, the matcha was smooth and creamy.

Jasmine matcha, extra matcha and ultra rich matcha gelato
Jasmine T.

We drive over an hour for this gelato. Every time. That should tell you most of what you need to know. I've worked my way through every flavor at this point -- hokkaido, genmai matcha, jasmine matcha, uji matcha, extra matcha, ultra rich matcha, chocolate, and hojicha. They're all excellent. The matcha ones in particular are rich and creamy in a way I haven't found anywhere else. I do have a few notes. They only let you sample one flavor. With this many options, and several being subtle variations on matcha, one sample isn't enough to choose well. The drinks are good but they're not the reason to come, at least for me. The matcha and hojicha lattes don't hit the same creaminess or intensity as the gelato. They're also not flexible on customization. We wanted a salted cream top on our hojicha latte. No option for it on the ordering machine, and the staff wouldn't accommodate it when we asked. And parking is tough. Budget extra time. Still five stars. The gelato is that good, and none of the above has ever stopped us from making the drive.

Half matcha jasmine, half ultra rich #5 match
May N.

This is what matcha heaven looks like. They offer matcha gelato with different intensities, along with hojicha, Hokkaido, dark chocolate, and mango sorbet flavors. I ordered 2 scoops, half matcha jasmine and half ultra rich #5 matcha. Both flavors exceeded any expectations I had. The matcha surprisingly did not overshadow the jasmine, and you get a really nice balance of both. The ultra rich matcha was strong and earthy without being excessively bitter. You can tell they do not skimp on matcha quality here. Parking is paid valet in the lot or street parking. The interior space is very cute but quite small. It can also get very packed during the lunch and dinner peak hours, so it can be difficult to find a seat or table. Ordering is done at the kiosk. I already can't wait to come back!

Treated myself to two scoops of the Vegan Toasted Coconut, which might be my all time favorite. Light, fluffy, textured and overall delicious. Also dig the Vegan Double Dark Chocolate Chip and Counter Culture Coffee flavors. They have several topping including rainbow sprinkles, chocolate like chips, waffle pieces and more. Enjoy a plethora of pastries and treats as well including guest goodies via Brady's Bakery. Great service, good hot, cold and bottled bevs including root beer, cola jarritos, and boxes water to name a few.

Artisinal-style small batch deliciousness with tables and chairs both inside and outside overlooking the blvd. Gelatoing since 2006.

Otherwise you'll probably end up using paid street parking, if you are lucky The gelato tastes more European-style to me -- creamy, softer flavors, not super sugary like some places. They also have coffee, teas, pastries, and even dog treats, which was kind of cute. I personally like getting coffee with creamy gelato together. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. There's indoor seating plus outdoor tables if you like sitting outside and watching people walk by. Also appreciated that they have vegan options and stay open pretty late compared to similar dessert spots.

There have been many amazing places, Bayou in France was first in line for me until I tried the gelato here.

We've become big fans of Bacio di Latte after visiting their locations in Brentwood, Topanga…read moreVillage, and Calabasas. One thing we really appreciate is that they make their gelato fresh on-site every day, and you can definitely taste the difference. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, and the flavors are rich (sometimes overly sweet for me). They have a great selection, so there's always something new to try, including seasonal flavors that keep things interesting. Our favorites so far are the Giandujotto, which has that amazing combination of hazelnut and chocolate, and the Tiramisu, which tastes just like the classic Italian dessert in gelato form. Both are absolutely delicious, and we keep coming back to them even though there are so many other tempting options. Their affogato is also fantastic. There's something about pouring espresso over that creamy gelato that makes for such a great treat, especially if you're a coffee lover. Another thing that stands out is how consistently good the experience has been at all three locations. The shops are always spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and service is surprisingly quick even when there's a line, which seems to happen quite often given how popular these places are. Each location has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and it's always a pleasure stopping by. Bacio di Latte has easily become one of our favorite spots for gelato.

Besides their amazing gelato, they also sell gelato by the pint if you want to take some home. I also noticed they had brownies, pies, and cookies available, which all looked delicious. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality gelato with excellent customer service, Bacio di Latte is definitely worth a visit!
