    Great Matcha spot! The line was a bit long but went by fast. Service was great and baristas were super approachable. Good environment to catch up with friends or to study as well. Highly recommend the banana cream matcha.

    Every one of my friends enjoyed their different types of matcha myself included. Hand whisked and staff was so sweet and the vibe was adorable. So many options and I want to go back and try more this was pretty close to perfect I just like a strong matcha flavor and this was definitely more for a more casual matcha drinker/ more sweet but I bet you could ask for less sweet!!

    Matcha tastes good. Einspanner is my go-to order, they make it pop having it topped with sea salt -- really good. No provided parking, only street which you will have to pay for.

    We were able to grab a drink here after lunch, surprisingly the line was not too long. They have a good assortment of matcha products. We tried the banana cream hojicha and the matcha einspanner. Both drinks were made well and came out quickly. I liked that they constantly have people preparing matcha in anticipation of the next drink. It would be nice if they were open earlier in the morning.

    I got the banana cream matcha that I thought was pretty good! Not too sweet or overwhelming. I also really liked the project matcha with earl grey tea. My friend said she loved her coconut cloud matcha, especially because it included fresh pulp, and she recommends it to anyone who loves fresh coconut water. The matcha einspanner was too milky in my opinion. Each drink was about $7.5. There was a long line on a Tuesday at 1pm but the wait itself wasn't too bad. The place was aesthetic but small and didn't have many places for customers to sit.

    I'm from LA and visit Japan every year so as annoying as it is to say, I might be a matcha snob. With that being said, this place is fantastic. Came with two friends on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon. We parked a couple blocks away and walked over. There was a small line outside when we arrived but it moved fairly quickly. The inside is so modern and well decorated. The girl at the register was so bubbly and friendly. I ordered the banana cream matcha latte and my friends ordered the raspberry vanilla matcha latte and the jasmine matcha. We all tried each other's drinks and they were all amazing. We almost regretted not getting two drinks each so we could try some of their other items. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

    Although I was initially hesitant to try this place due to mixed reviews, I am glad I gave it a chance. It has become my preferred spot for matcha. The service is consistently fast, and the staff is always friendly. The decor is visually appealing and complements the matcha's natural green tones.

    Project Matcha is a modern matcha shop in a cool space with a unique selection of drinks. To get here, street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a bright and nicely decorated interior with about 6-7 tables for seating. For their menu, they have different coffee, matcha, specialty, and signature drinks to choose from. Wifey and I opted to get the Banana Cream Hojicha and the Strawberry Shortcake Matcha. Both drinks were solid and all of the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

    Banana cream matcha: 4.5/5. Nice nutty flavor, well balanced and doesn't overpower the matcha. The toppings add a nice crunch. Strawberry matcha: 4.4/5. Classic summertime favorite. We do wish there was more syrup, but this is a personal preference. Ratio was looking like 10% strawberry, 90% matcha. Our ideal ratio is 3:17 which would be 15% strawberry syrup given that they do a pulpy and fresh version. Raspberry vanilla matcha: 4.5/5. Solid ratio. Loved the vanilla addition to the mix. Not super fruity like the strawberry, milder but still flavorful. Jasmine matcha: 5/5. I love jasmine so there's a bias here. It's light, aromatic and so pleasant. If you like early grey milk teas and jasmine in general, I'd recommend!! Service this time around was friendlier. The cashier took the time to chat briefly even with the long line. There still seems to always be a line out the door, but it's a worthwhile pursuit if done with friends. Not ideal for grab n go. We ordered four drinks and it came out on the bar within less than 5 minutes. Super impressive given that they're vigorously hand whisking all the drinks. They've reached a flow state for sure. Indoor space/seating is very lively. Kinda gives NYC day time club vibes. Well decorated and always a great playlist playing over the speakers.

    Project Matcha is so worth the hype. The kindness of the baristas alone is so refreshing. I loved Daisy's Jasmine Matcha Latte iced (7.50). Such a great price for an amazing specialty drink. Note: I got here when they open at 11am on a Thursday and was 6th in the line. The line didn't move at super speed but my drink came out in under 2 minutes when I ordered it. This is because the cashier is kind and actually chats with you :). Project Matcha is the perfect place go come with friends. It's so sunny and cute inside with mirrors and ceramics for sale and warm sun shining in that makes you forget it's 40 degrees outside. It is also a great place to treat yourself! I will be coming back here often. Thanks Project Matcha!

    YES! We finally tried this spot and it didn't disappoint. This is some of the best matcha I've ever had, amazing matcha taste and not bitter. I had to order the jasmine matcha as I absolutely love jasmine and this was perfect!! This needs to stay on the menu! My husband also really enjoyed his banana cream matcha! There was a decent line maybe 20 mins but sooo worth it! Interior was cute, street parking took a little bit.

    Delicious matcha with a truly vibrant color and a bold, well-balanced flavor. I ordered the jasmine matcha, which was excellent. The floral notes of jasmine complemented the matcha perfectly, and the drink was not overly sweet. The person I went with ordered the mango matcha, and it tasted incredibly fresh and bright. I really appreciate that you can get alternative milk at no extra charge. It's hard to go wrong with any of the drinks here, though I do wish the blueberry lavender matcha was still on the menu! I also really appreciate that alternative milks are available at no extra charge. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a long line out the door. Seating can be a bit difficult to find in the small cafe, but it's not impossible. Despite the crowd, the staff were kind, helpful, and efficient, and the drinks were prepared quickly. While the drinks are on the more expensive side, they are absolutely worth the price.

    ​I have mixed feelings about my visit this morning. There is so much to love about the vibe here,…read morebut the actual drink execution left me frustrated. ​The Pros: First off, the staff is incredibly sweet and friendly. They make you feel welcome the second you walk in. The modern, cool design of the space is top tier. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when grabbing a coffee in Portland. I also love their progressive approach to dairy; they default to plant based milks and there is no upcharge for them, which is a huge win for accessibility and sustainability. ​The Cons: Unfortunately, the experience was completely undercut by the quality of the pour. The oat milk curdled almost immediately. I am well aware that Stumptown uses a more naturally acidic brew, which is a science experiment waiting to happen with plant milks, and I know it is technically safe to drink. However, the separation completely ruins the mouthfeel. ​Instead of a creamy, cohesive sip, I was left with a watery base and grainy floaties. It is disappointing to be told that this is normal when specialty cafes have the tools like barista grade buffers and temperature control to prevent this. While the ethics and the aesthetic are on point, a drink that looks and feels curdled just is not an acceptable standard to serve to customers. ​Summary: Great people, great space, great pricing, but the technical execution of the plant based drinks needs a serious overhaul.

My husband got the Lucky Charms shake with marshmallows and actual Lucky Charms. Both were creamy, delicious, and not too sweet. One downside: the menu was a little confusing.

I had two bites and had to throw mine away. It was definitely just painfully artificially sugary and tasted gross flavor wise - I should've just gotten a different flavor initially. I understand custard is slightly different from ice cream but maybe they need a revisit of the menu recipe wise- would be good. I've had good custard before so I'm no stranger to it. I don't recall what it was called but it was maybe pistachio base custard or coconut (can't recall) but the description had pineapple jelly with coconut flakes and a cherry. Overall I love the vibes here and the staff were super friendly but I probably won't ever eat the custard here ever again. I'll probably check out the back tho!

My friend and I wandered in looking for some coffee and as other reviews note, there really isn't a menu in here? For a second, I couldn't tell if they even made lattes since the only signage noted espresso and drip coffee. My friend grabbed an 8 oz latte an I went with a 12 oz vanilla latte -- came out to $11 total so not too bad, particularly for the quality. It's just one person behind the counter making the drinks, but he displayed a great deal of care between the syrups, latte art, and sneaker decals on top. My drink was perfectly hot, not too sweet, and had a great flavor overall. I would absolutely go back for another latte and to grab some beans as well. This place is small, there's a VERY small amount of limited seating; definitely not a sit and sip your coffee for hours type of spot. Loved the sneakers displayed inside though.

    As a guest at the Hoxton Hotel, I was happy to find this nice little coffee place off the hotel…read morelobby as the "real" (local independent artsy looking) local place around the corner I noted last night doesn't open until 8. Even though the 5 star rating was based on just one review I thought I would give it a try as the all of the drinks coming out while I was thinking about it looked pretty good. The basic 2-shot latte was pretty good. I'm a coffee snob so I save 5 star ratings for places with amazing coffee that really makes coffee a transcendent experience or places with pretty good espresso drinks at places with consistently good service, so I'd probably just give this place 4 1/2 stars on coffee alone. However the atmosphere for a little spot is reallly nice, with interesting books on the shelf on the back wall and real artwork by local artists on the wall. Plus the spot opens up into the lobby of the Hoxton Hotel, which of course has that trendy but classy Hoxton aesthetic. Also a plus, the place has ceramic mugs and cups, but as most folks are getting coffee on the way out, you will get your drink in a paper cup unless you ask. These other factors justify bumping it up to a full 5 stars (especially as Hotel coffee spots frequently suck). Note this is a one person operation, so some patience may be necessary. Hours: At the time of this writing, Yelp had this spot's hours conflated with a similarly named restaurant in the lobby. It's actually open for 7 to 12 every day.

Weird by a Mexican (-owned?) place! I don't know why this young woman had so much hate toward us, we kept wondering if it was because we speak Spanish inside the establishment, or because we hugged each other, or because we asked for pastries which they had none, or because I asked questions about getting a Mocha, which is not on the menu. The business is small inside, only 4 visitors at a time, maybe she got upset that we came in when there were 2 customers already in? It was rainy outside though! Initially, my wife and I were super excited and chatty (in Spanish, our native language) about the opportunity to support this business and waited patiently until it was our turn. We had lots of questions since the menu is vague and limited, compared to any other coffee shop, and there were no pastries on display. The attendant was short and using a rude tone when responding to my wife (As in: "But how do you want it?" in response to "I'd like a latte"). To top it off, she asked us to move to make space for another customer, when we had been already been patient with her and the prior customers, to read the menu, which she had already told me was unavailable.
