This might be my new favorite matcha spot in the city. They use a lot of matcha in the latte and in the foam, you can adjust sweetness, and they have so many fun drinks on the menu that you will have a hard time choosing. Mango matcha with matcha foam at 50% sweetness was perfect for me. Not so sweet, great mango flavor, and tons of matcha. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Oishii Matcha - Mango matcha with matcha foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there's was not really a wait. My friend and I both got the Strawberry Matcha Latte (which by default comes with matcha foam). Initial sip was good, but after a few sips we noticed it's a bit thick. Definitely not the kind of drink to get when you're quenching of thirst. The strawberry puree was good but quality of matcha was the biggest con. Even before trying the drink, I could tell the matcha had a very DULL color (the one you get when either the matcha expires or when it's been too exposed to oxygen causing quality to lower exponentially). This was most disappointing because this gave the very bitter metallic aftertaste with every sip. For a shop that specializes in matcha, I hope they take quality into account more when making their drinks. The cafe doesn't have much comfortable seating, a few small tables outside and a bench indoor. read more

My absolute favorite spot for matcha/drinks in the city! I feel like this spot is so underrated. I've tried a number of their drinks (matcha, hojicha, ube, black sesame lattes) and have thoroughly enjoyed each one. I really appreciate that they have hot/cold options, many milk choices, and options with no caffeine. The drinks can take a while to come out at times, but the service is always incredibly friendly. My only wish is that there would be more seating inside, though during the warm parts of the day/year the tables right outside are lovely to sit at to enjoy the drinks and do some people watching. read more

San Francisco Summer is a compilation of sun bursts which happen throughout the year. There is no such thing as typical Summer weather in San Francisco like other parts of America . Sometimes you cannot tell the difference from Spring to Summer weather in San Francisco. There is no consistency when the sun will come out. When the sun comes out and Karl the Fog is on vacation people come out and look for something delicious and cold. There is one place you can enjoy a refreshing drink like matcha no matter the weather. It's located on Market street and Noe and it's called Oishii Matcha. On a sunny Market street stroll in San Francisco Don Juan de la Matcha landed at Oishii Matcha. Inside I scrolled and ordered using the kiosk. Since it was hot with the sun was out in the city I got the purple yam the Ube ice cream not on a cone but on a croffle ( part flakey croissant and waffle in SF). The Ube ice cream was not too sweet and was tasty and the croffle was soft and a bit crispy. I then had to wash it down with a refreshing Matcha Mango Latte with foam. The matcha was delicious and hit the spot . Now the only thing to consider next time is which nearby park spot I should hit to enjoy a Matcha. Will it be Dolores Park or Duboce Park or Noe & Beaver Community Garden ?( Questions in my Mind). Come get the real matcha and not the "phony"go to Oishii Matcha because it is organic ceremonial "only" so let's have a tea "ceremony" with Don Juan de La Matcha giving the true matcha "testimony" Fake matcha should be "unlawful" it is tasteless and the flavor is very "awful " at Oishii Matcha you can get the purple Ube ice cream on a "croffle" it's a cross between a flakey croissant and a "waffle" read more

finally got to try this place! I ordered a regular matcha with soy milk, half sweet. I really enjoyed it. I went on a Wednesday afternoon so there was no wait. Really nice matcha flavor, and might try their soft serve next time. read more

Oiishi Matcha is a small Japanese drink shop tucked into a corner near Castro neighborhood. Their menu mainly features matcha, hojicha, and black sesame lattes. They also serve soft serve, but I was in the mood for matcha, so I ordered the Matcha Coconut Latte with Matcha Foam. Overall, the matcha was solid, not a strong one, but definitely not low-quality either. I reduced the sugar level to 50%, and it was perfectly balanced for my taste, so I think the regular sweetness level would be quite sweet. They also offer ube or matcha croffle, which looked really delicious. I'll definitely be back to try those next time. read more

Matcha wasn't great. You can taste the matcha but it lacks depth and nuttiness. Basically some matcha flavor with milk. Ube one is sweeter but covers even more of the matcha flavor. read more

Super friendly service and colorful ambiance in the middle of the Castro. Seating is limited, so you might have to take it to go. The ube latte was so freaking yummy!! The ube taste and the brown sugar from the boba could both be tasted. Boba was soft and chewy in the best way. The drink was really sweet though, so I recommend doing 50% or even lower. Will definitely be back to try more! read more

Oishii Matcha - Ube Boba Latte W/Ube Foam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came on a Thursday evening after having dinner in the area. None of their soft serves were available; it was near closing time so understandable. The shop is on the smaller side, and it's more of a grab-and-go kind of spot. We ordered the Ube Matcha Latte and Hojicha Boba Latte, both at 25/30% sweetness. The drinks were not sweet at all so if you like your drinks a little sweet, I recommend getting at least 50%. The ube itself was good and I liked it. However, the drink overall was okay. Either the ube was a little overpowering or the matcha flavor wasn't strong, because I couldn't really taste the matcha. read more

Super tasty and convenient takeout matcha spot! They have boba drinks and soft serve with other Asian flavors as well, such as hojicha, ube, and black sesame. We got the strawberry matcha and ube lattes. Both were flavorful and not too sweet at 50% and 25% sugar respectively. The matcha was really high quality and strong. The service is fast and friendly as well. The inside has a small bench while you wait for your order but otherwise there isn't much seating inside. Great new addition to the Castro for sure! read more

Enjoyed an iced matcha latte to-go from Oishii Matcha. As I walked in I was greeted and waited in the store, the store was very clean and aesthetic. I soon got my drink and left. My drink didn't have too much ice and the matcha to milk ratio was (in my opinion) phenomenal. The matcha was smooth and had very nice bold earthy notes. I will come back again and I would love to see them expand on their menu. read more

Oishii in Japanese means 'good,' but I found this place to be more 'mama' (okay). Hanging out with my friend, we passed by Oishii, and I mentioned I was curious about grabbing a drink. I've seen this place on social media and have always wanted to try it! The cafe is relatively small and minimally decorated, with only one tablet available for ordering inside. There isn't much space to sit or wait inside, but they have an extended bench. There are also a couple of tables outside. Service was fast since we came on a weekday and were one of the only customers. They offer a decent selection of matcha, hojicha, and black sesame drinks, as well as some food options. I got the Matcha Mango Latte with 50% sweetness and Soy Milk. The drink wasn't too sweet, which was perfect for me! The puree and drink were an interesting consistency, a bit more frothy and creamy than I'm used to. It satisfied my cravings, but it wasn't the best I've had. For matcha lovers, I recommend Oishii Matcha if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it! A good amount of options and easy ordering. They're on the corner of Market Street with nearby street parking. read more

My friend and I stopped by this matcha shop on a weekday afternoon, where there were several people waiting in line to order. While my friend and I were ordering, the cashier was having slight difficulty understanding my request for a matcha latte with boba, and my friend's request for a mango matcha latte. When our orders came out, the orders were incorrect, but there was no questions asked when they had to remake our order. The Mango matcha Latte was good! It was refreshing and nicely balanced, with a strong mango flavor. Unfortunately, my Matcha Latte with boba missed the mark. The matcha didn't have the flavor that I was expecting, and the boba texture was off (it was very very chewy). My experience with their Matcha Latte was not the best, but I am interested in trying some of their other drinks in the future! read more

We visited Oishii Matcha to satisfy our Matcha and Sweet tooth cravings... Can't say we were all that impressed with Oishii Matcha... Small Venue with not a lot of room inside. I'd estimate 90% of the orders are to go due to the lack of room; there is a small bench inside probably for waiting on your order and two small tables outside. #SweetTooth: ~ BOBA SUNDAE UBE - 3.5/5 I thought this was just a bit better than OK. It certainly didn't look like the pictures. This was just Ube soft serve with a some boba and a bit of brown sugar syrup. It looks far better in the the pics. Decent, nowhere near the best Ube Soft Serve I had. They also ran out of Black Sesame and hojicha on that particular day, so were unable to try either of those flavors. Sadly we were a bit disappointed... read more

Shout out the one worker who worked so efficiently and quickly as he was the only worker on shift holding down the place. He deserves a raise frfr But anyways the matcha quality was really smooth with no astringency, however a tad bit milky for my liking. I'd rate the matcha a solid 8/10 and would come back again hehe read more

Saw this little cafe on the streets of SF near the photobooth museum! Ordered the ice cream and oddy took a bit to come out, but maybe cause it was a Friday afternoon/night.

It's claimed to ceremonial grade matcha but I suspect it's not since the matcha is bitter. Even the matcha soft serve has a slight bitter flavor. The matcha soft serve has a strong matcha flavor with some bitterness too it. The mango latte does not taste sweet enough and also bitter. There isn't much of a place to sit and enjoy the desserts and drinks. I think they need to provide more space for patrons to enjoy their ice cream. I can't really say much about service since there's just a touch screen pad for ordering. Def had better matcha experiences. read more

Tried the mango matcha latte at Oishii Matcha. Super cute presentation and the flavor's good, just a little too sweet for me. I ended up asking for extra milk to balance it out. The matcha itself is on the lighter, less bitter side, so it works if you like a more subtle matcha flavor instead of intense umami. Overall I'd go back. Very convenient and cute corner spot in the Castro for when you need a caffeine pick me up. read more

I really want to like this place but the two times I've been here it was just okay.The first time I tried the strawberry with matcha and oat milk + 50% sweetness (since the worker said the strawberry is already sweet) and it was decent - I've had better. I think I'd bump the sweetness level up next time because it wasn't too sweet at all, and I usually stay away from sweet drinks! The second time I got the matcha with espresso (75% sweetness) + oat milk, and the matcha tasted a bit too chalky for me. Customer service has been awesome both times, so I definitely want to give it another shot. Maybe I'll even try one of their desserts next time like the ice cream cup or a crepe + the regular matcha latte. read more

This is not on the basis of matcha because I did not get that. I did sample matcha soft serve got that in my drink - very good. I sampled the ube soft serve too. WOW. GLAD I DID. I am not an ube lover. But this was something. Just hit the right things in the right ways. Better than garden creamery ube I would say and that's my #1 ice cream place in the city. Black sesame drink was good really wanna try the soft serve. I got it 25% sweet but not digestable for most people. If you are a black sesame lover like me it's perfect!!!! read more

Went on a Monday afternoon and there was no line! We got our drinks pretty quickly and they were amazing. The matcha and hojicha were both not sweet at all so the flavor was super strong, and we both got it 75%, so I'm curious to know how sweet it is at 100%. We both like our drinks unsweetened so it was perfect but if you like sweeter drinks you may not like the plain lattes as much. Ratings Matcha latte: 5/5 Hojicha latte: 5/5 read more

After having a disappointing experience at a different matcha spot in Berkeley, we decided to drive over the bridge to give Oishii a try. Being that we both love matcha and trying out new places, we thought this would be a great spot to hit before dinner. But be aware, there is limited space to sit down. Only a small bench inside and 2 tables outside. I got the matcha latte and my friend got the strawberry matcha latte. Tbh, both were not great. Neither tasted like matcha, it really felt more like we were drinking oat milk with a hint of matcha. They didn't ask for milk preferences, so I think their default is oak milk. The strawberry matcha was better than the original, but was way too sweet for my preference. For a scale, I'm usually one to order 50% or less at all bubble tea and matcha spots. Although the staff was super nice, this isn't a spot we see ourselves going back to unless it's for their soft serve. We tried the matcha soft serve and it was really solid. A little on the sweeter side, but it was definitely better than the lattes. These points are the only reason I gave 3 stars instead of 2. read more

Stopped by for morning matcha and hojicha with a friend who lives in the area. Oishii is truly oishii! And for the tea lovers who truly drink with 0% additive/extra sugar, they truly don't add anything else. Their menu is pretty approachable, you choose your tea base, and there are options from floats (with soft serve) to black sesame to boba. I can never pass up boba, so I went for the hojicha boba. Hojicha was def more umami compared to matcha, on the bitter end, but still very flavorful and floral. Service is with a smile and the shop itself is small, not on the same level as Matcha Cafe Maiko or Maruwu Seicha or the South Bay's Izumi Matcha. BUT they do hold their own as a neighborhood matcha spot. I like that they gave a good chunky amount of hojicha to milk ratio. They also sell croffles and crepes, but I can def see them adding on other items like Japanese matcha tins or savory bakery items. Seating is pretty minimal, there's a few spots inside and a small steel two-seater table outside, but it's really more of a takeout spot. Awesome if you're a grab n go or getting something on the go, but not a great spot to hang out, do work, or people watch. read more

Ordered online on Sunday afternoon for an Ube Matcha. The store is super cramped, but the workers are super friendly and gave out samples of their soft serve! I got the Ube Matcha 25% sweet. I'd recommend to get 50% or 75% if you like your drink on the sweeter side. I wasn't the biggest fan of the matcha, but I think it's my fault for assuming the ube would sweeten it more than it did and getting 25% sweet. The ube also stained my mouth/teeth really bad and had me looking crazy walking around haha. Definitely want to come back and try a regular matcha! read more

The matcha soft serve was delicious! Not bitter and not too sweet. Was just right. They don't have a ton of seating (a bench inside, and 2 bistro tables outside), so it's more of a grab-and-go spot.

My friend and I were in the area and wanted to get a drink. I've seen Oishii Matcha on social media so we decided to try it out. It is a small shop with some seating inside and outside. The menu had some items covered up but there was still a variety of desserts and drinks. Mixed fruit crepe (4/5): I am usually not a fan of crepes but this one was good. The strawberries and bananas weren't cooked/hot, a huge plus. The nutella was good. The crepe itself was soft which is my preference. Black sesame latte (3/5): It was a normal drink. A little gritty but that is to be expected with sesame seeds. You can adjust your sweetness. I did 50% and I think I should've done more. Overall a good try. I would come back if I am in the area again to try other items. The person working gave us little matcha soft serve samples which was very nice. read more
