    Affogato
    David V.

    Pretty good dessert place. I would come back again. I came on Wednesday evening. Street parking was somewhat easy. Not sure if I got lucky... Seating inside is limited... The affogato was good. I think it was supposed to be vanilla soft serve but they ran out and gave me hojiha- the roasted matcha for the base and drenched it with rich matcha sauce. Sooo good. Value was good. Service was good too- friendly cashier.

    There is a cozy vibe inside and a couple picnic tables outside. The people who work there are super nice. You can get the matcha at different potency levels. The desserts aren't too sweet and are in fact very refreshing. I feel like this was among the first matcha places to open up in Pittsburgh!

    Matcha ube latte

    I have only had Meccha a few times, but it is so consistently good! Their limited time specialty matchas are fantastic - I've had the ube and banana pudding lattes. I've also had their ice cream once - I always love matcha ice cream! It gets busy inside, but the staff are always really kind and fast. There are some tables to sit at, but they're usually full! They have some tables outside as well. This place is busy for a reason - it's some of the best matcha in town!

    Ube soft serve and the matcha level 2 scoop
    Eri L.

    Fantastic matcha with standout ice cream! I prefer their matcha level 2 over any I can find back in NYC-- it has a really smooth, rich matcha flavor. Their soft serves are great too and never icy. Service is very quick and they have a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating. They also constantly rotate their menu and have several seasonal specials.

    Great matcha place! I got the affogato and asked for matcha ice cream instead of vanilla. The matcha ice cream was nice and sweet. The matcha was pretty bitter but paired nice with the ice cream. The portion was huge I did not expect it to be so large compared to the pictures. So many other ice cream flavors and drink options. Some seating inside as well as outside. It is a nice place to sit and do work, there are also bathrooms. Workers were nice as well!

    House latte

    Honestly such a cool place. A little on the expensive side, but a unique menu for Pittsburgh. This was my first time having anything matcha related, so I'm certainly no expert, but I enjoyed both items I got from here. I got the house latte and matcha ice cream. The matcha ice cream you can get in levels, with varying amounts of caffeine and intensity. I just tried a level one, and it was still really tasty. Creamy ice cream, not overpowering but present matcha flavor. Really good, and a great portion. The house latte was also great. It had condensed milk for sweetness and whole milk for the creaminess. Was very solid although again, a bit pricey. If I go next time, I'll get another one of their more unique drinks like something with sesame or some of that soft serve.

    It's a cute and simple ice cream shop. I had matcha single scoop which is like value for price. Great quality 5/5 both on taste and service. Ambiance is simple, no fuzz place.

    The matcha here is one of the best I have ever had! I love that you can choose what level matcha you'd like because I am a huge matcha lover and don't like when you can barely taste it. I think this would be a great place to try matcha for the first time since they could get a lesser amount. Plus the quality is great here so it won't be "grassy" for new timers. Service is super friendly and quick. The place is super cute and small, just know that there is no AC if you go during peak summer.

    Matcha, oatmilk, vanilla
    Morgan W.

    So goood!!!! I am obsessed with matcha. I tried the vanilla oat milk matcha and it is fantastic! Oat milk is very strong is flavor so you can definitely taste majority of that flavor. I can taste most of the matcha in the aftertaste of it. I think the flavors pair well together. I love coming by this store, it's petite and has a seating area for customers. There was a cute LED sign on the wall. The staff were friendly and they were not busy at the time I came in so it was easy to be in and out. I've never been before until today so I had to take in the whole menu to understand it. Overall a good experience!

    Strawberry iced (perfect for non matcha lovers), the parfait, and the iced matcha strawberry latte.
    Star S.

    If you're someone who is newish to matcha, this is the spot for you but if you're a matcha snob like myself, this isn't that great imo. I am so used to Matcha Cafe Maiko that is in Philly and San Francisco and it has the realest of the real for matcha. For starters, the parfait isn't that great and I don't understand the strawberry syrup and the matcha cake is most of the parfait than the ice cream. I felt like it was lacking and I would give it maybe a 2 star as a generous rating overall. The matcha is very light and the cake is more so vanilla based than matcha which is meh. It's also too sweet for my taste than spongey. I'm actually so disappointed in this and I wanted to try this one so badly. We ordered strawberry iced blended which my best friend said it was good and then my boyfriend ordered the strawberry matcha latte which is pretty good but it's not for me. I am also not a fan of strawberry besides actual strawberry fruit. I am very curious about the black sesame matcha and another flavor but I wouldn't be in a rush to come back here. I wish they were similar to the matcha maiko but it's Pittsburgh. We ordered off DoorDash so I'm not sure about the service but I know parking is ugly due to well the area. I wish you could make the latte and the parfait be a level 3 in matcha because I think they both really need that. For now, I am signing off with a 3 star review until I try the level 3 matcha and the sesame but I'm in no rush to be back as I want to try other matcha shops on in the area. I would say maybe a 4 star for non matcha or people who aren't really into matcha but want to try something different. For true matcha fans, this place is disappointing.

    Updating to add more photos of the parfait. The parfait is tasty, but I would recommend getting the shaved ice if you plan on sharing as it's definitely single-person sized and it comes with a lot of matcha flavored cake that doesn't actually taste much like matcha (it just makes it dense and sludgy at the bottom). The amount of ice cream you get seems sort of variable and it feels bad to pay almost $10 for level 3, only to get the equivalent of a kids scoop at Baskin Robins.

    Matcha shaved ice
    Kaylie W.

    I was pretty excited for Meccha matcha to open but it didn't really live up to my expectations. The shaved ice looked nothing like the description at all. It was a lot smaller than expected and poorly made. The photo is exactly what it looked like when served. It also wasn't clear on the menu that different matcha levels of ice cream costs different prices, so we were surprised to see this averaged size and a bit ugly bowl of ice cream is $18.99. You can't even really see the shaved ice, and it didn't taste like shaved ice at all. It felt like very hard ice chips; can't really describe it but not the right texture for shaved ice. I did like the matcha ice cream a lot, but that's the only thing going for to, overall so not worth the price. If I ever was to come back, I would only get ice cream instead...The store was also quite small and hard to find seating. Not sure if it was the particular day, but it was super hot and humid inside the store and the tables felt sticky.

The croissants were great when you lightly air fry/toast them if you don't eat them right away. In Lawrenceville, it's a small location with a couple of outdoor seating but none inside. However, it is a chain so you might have one in your little area. My only thing is that the pistachio eclair is very sweet (so if you don't have a sweet tooth, maybe I'd go for another subtler dessert). I saw they have a deal where you can get a baguette, sandwich, and drink for $7. Good deal imo considering the quality of their bread, and it's a good excuse to buy a sweet treat with it!

For the quality, it's well worth it. Consistently great, reliably tasty, and perfect for special occasions or whenever you want to treat yourself. The staff is friendly. It's usually busy here and not conducive to eating inside.
