We visited San by Kin during their soft opening and shortly after their grand opening. They have a selection of matchas, classic matcha drinks (with water or with milk), and specialty drinks. The classic matchas are not sweetened, but they have a selection of three syrups (simple, vanilla, and... one more- forget what it is, tbh) to choose from.
The specialty drinks are really unique. The lemon matcha tonic (koicha, tonic water, lemon syrup, matcha) was a refreshingly tart, vegan summer drink from the soft opening menu, and the matcha undertow (koicha, sweet cream, matcha) was my partner's favorite. The post-grand opening menu features fall specialty drinks, with the crispy core (apple cider, spices, tonic water, matcha) taking the place of the summer's lemon matcha tonic and the ooh-la-long (oolong tea, coconut water, matcha cream top) replacing the undertow. A third specialty drink, the mama fig (maple syrup, fig, matcha, milk), we have yet to try, but that is next on our itinerary.
The space is relaxing and small; arrive very early or very late if you want to secure a spot for work requiring a table. For conversations, arrive whenever. The hours right now are 2PM to 8PM, which is also somewhat unique for Atlanta, where everything seems to close earlier in the day while you're at work.
Awesome place, highly recommend if you enjoy matcha! read more
