    Strawberry matcha
    siri g.

    Cute little matcha spot! It's located inside the Joy Heart Market Cafe, along with a small little shop, so it's definitely a unique setup. I'm not really a matcha person, but since it was hot out, I decided to give it a try and went with the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk. I accidentally sat at a booth that was reserved for the restaurant customers, but the staff was super kind about letting me know and directed me to the 3-4 tables reserved for cafe customers.The drink was absolutely delicious, especially for someone who doesn't even like matcha! There was absolutely no bitterness, and the little bit of sweetness from the strawberry made it so good. I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I also LOVE their eco-friendly approach. They only serve drinks in glass containers with glass straws and encourage customers to bring their own cups, which I really appreciate. They have WiFi as well, and I saw quite a few people working while I was there. This might have just become my favorite matcha spot in the South Bay! :)

    Love that their environmentally friendly! I got the pink coconut water matcha unsweetened and it was the perfect summer time beverage! Very refreshing and was naturally sweet from the coconut water. The matcha was also strong but not too bitter. Will definitely be back! It's a small corner part of a natural foods grocery store and the staff are super friendly. Really appreciate the community here.

    Brown Sugar Hojicha and Strawberry Matcha

    Been meaning to review this cute cafe for a while now! I was looking for cafes to journal and read books with my friends and randomly found this place on Google Maps. It is located inside of Joyheart Cafe and has free WiFi. The employees were so friendly and explained the seating situation. There are several very large tables we can sit at, but the booths are reserved for Joyheart Cafe dine-in customers, which makes sense. I ordered the Brown Sugar Hojicha Latte and my friend got the Strawberry Matcha Latte. The drinks were served in medium size glasses with glass straws as part of their commitment to no plastic. I believe you have to pay for a mason jar if you order drinks to go. My friend and I both really enjoyed the refreshing drinks and would definitely come here again to hang out!

    The Orange Tabby is a cozy, low-key spot that does a few things really well. It focuses on high-quality matcha, hojicha, and espresso drinks, and that focus shows in every cup. Everything feels intentional. The drinks are smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. Whether you're getting a matcha or an espresso, the quality stands out right away. I also appreciate that they encourage bringing a reusable cup. It fits the whole vibe of the place, thoughtful, minimal, and community-oriented. The space itself is small but super inviting. It's perfect for a quiet coffee run or a relaxed catch-up. No tips expected. They bring you your craft drink. Service +! If you're looking for a full food menu, this isn't that kind of café, but if you want really well-crafted drinks in a cozy setting, this place delivers.

    This unassuming matcha shop within Joyheart Cafe was such a great find! I ordered the Hoji-Matcha latte. With the first sip, I could instantly taste the quality and surprisingly bold flavor of the matcha. The sweetness was subtle and perfectly balanced out the drink. This is a must try if you're in the area! There's also a small grocery area at the back of the shop, with some cute Taiwanese snacks and goodies. Overall, a great experience.

    Discovered The Orange Tabby, a conscious cafe serving high quality premium matcha drinks, specialty lattes and desserts. They are located in Joyheart Cafe. I tried their Strawberry Matcha with Einspanner cream and The Tabby Latte - both drinks were excellent. They are all vegan cafe, so I was even more excited to try their Einspanner cream, which was delicious. As a conscious cafe, I love their bring your own cup or buy reusable cup option. Plenty of seating, great vibe! Give it a try!

    Hoji-Matcha Latte (Oat) with Sesame Kinako Cream Top - $8

    Cute cafe tucked away inside Heartland next to Joyheart Cafe. If you are dining at Joyheart, you can ask your drinks to be brought to you to your table! Got the Hoji-Matcha Latte (Oat) with Sesame Kinako Cream Top. I believe their cream top may change seasonally. It was the latte ($7) with cream top ($1). The "for here" cup with straw is a great idea and love the to-go options available (BYOC or purchase), which is reusable. You can also get almond or soy as other "dairy" options. Highly recommend especially when dining at Joyheart!

    The Orange Tabby is a tea place inside of the Joyheart Cafe. The parking isn't too bad during peak hours. Very friendly and welcoming service. If takeout, they are environmentally minded and provide two options. See pic. Strawberry Matcha Latte - i like a stronger strawberry puree but this was decent Support your local business.

    House Matcha Latte
    Manit D.

    Very underrated!! This is a cafe inside a store. They do have some weird hours but honestly its really worth it. I got the house matcha latte with oat milk (first time trying oat milk) and it turned out to be so smooth and nice. The sugar was also perfect and this is one of the best matchas I've ever had. Also one thing to keep in mind: they try to be eco friendly so they use reusable cups if you are dining in and charge for cups if you want to-go, or you can just bring your own!

    Amazing service and great quality matcha! My co workers and I don't work too far so we drove down one day during lunch time and shockingly we were the only ones there. Orange Tabby is located in Joyheart cafe which also has a restaurant and convenient store located inside of it. The ambience is cute and the employees are very nice. While waiting for my drink, I walked around the little convenient store area and even bought a very delicious jam. We all ended up getting the strawberry matcha and it was amazing! Beware, if you are ordering to go you either have to bring your own cup or buy a mason jar or glass jar with a lid, which is another $2-$4 more. I opted for the mason jar as I can reuse it at home and bring it back for a discount on my next purchase. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and effort to go zero waste so I don't mind paying extra at all! Highly recommend trying it out! Next time I go I'll try the food as well.

    The Orange Tabby Latte in my own special cup from home

    I looked this place up on Yelp to check out the reviews and photos before deciding to meet a friend here for a hangout, so I knew what I was getting into upon arrival. If I hadn't I think I would have been a little confused walking into this place. The Orange Tabby doesn't have a large sign up anywhere that says "Orange Tabby" or anything inside or outside - it's connected/part of the Joyheart Cafe and the Heartland store which is a small organic Chinese specialty grocery store. When we arrived, we weren't quite sure where the line for ordering was as there was 1 party of about 5 people all crowded at the ordering counter and two ways to get to the counter - one right next to some booths, and another right through a narrow walkway (which is about wide enough for one person). I had my pallet set on the Tabby Latte, but I got to the counter and saw that they had a special Winter menu. I was so tempted by it because they had some chocolate drink (wish I could remember it) which sounded amazing, but I was really in the mood for the warmth of some cinnamon, so I stuck to my original plan and ordered the Tabby Latte, 25% sweet, hot, and in my own cup. No regrets! They brought our drinks to our table when they were ready and I could smell the cinnamon-ey goodness. It was exactly what I expected and hit the spot. Friendly service, plenty of seating, delicious drink - it was a great visit!

    This is truly a hidden gem! I stopped by here for the sakura matcha and it is nestled in a business complex. I believe it is a pop up. I'm so glad I was able to try the matcha and it came in a cute little to go mason jar. Hightly recommend!

    House matcha latte (iced) with black sesame foam
    Vanaja U.

    My rating would be a 3.75. The Orange Tabby is an adorable and unique organic market + cafe where they serve a limited selection of food and beverages. I tried their house matcha latte with added sesame foam and their tabby latte. I've been a matcha fiend lately and I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed with my drink, it was too watery for me and the oat milk overpowered the drink. The tabby latte on the other hand was pretty good and I would recommend it. Overall friendly vibes and as everyone mentioned already, they are very eco friendly. PS: they also sell different brands of matcha powder here (call to see what they have in stock)

They regularly checked in on us, kept our water and tea refilled, and made us feel well taken care of throughout our meal. When we packed our leftovers to go, they even offered to refill our soup container for us--now that's exceptional service! It's the little things like that that keep customers coming back. They're currently offering 10% off during the month of July to celebrate their 10-year anniversary, which makes it an even better time to visit. I'll definitely be back and look forward to continuing to support this wonderful local business.

Honestly, that's pretty great for students - no tip pressure, no awkward "20%, 25%, or 30%?" screen, and potentially a more affordable coffee run. But man... that has to suck for the employees. The baristas are still putting in the work, making the drinks, providing great service, and creating a welcoming atmosphere, but they can't accept tips even when customers genuinely want to show their appreciation. So I'm conflicted: great for students, but I really feel for the employees. The coffee is good, the vibes are good, and the university rules are... well, the university rules. Great spot for students. Just remember to show your appreciation in other ways! 中文 Nirvana Soul Coffee - 对学生来说很棒,对员工来说却有点心酸 Nirvana Soul Coffee 有一个比较特别的情况:因为他们受到大学相关规定的约束,所以员工不能收取小费。 老实说,这对学生来说其实挺不错的 - 没有小费压力,也不用面对结账时那个让人纠结的"20%、25%还是30%?"选项,而且喝杯咖啡也可能更轻松、更实惠。 但是说真的......这对员工来说就有点心酸了。 咖啡师依然认真工作、制作饮品、提供优质服务,也努力营造舒适友善的氛围,可是即使顾客真的想用小费表达感谢,他们也不能接受。 所以我的心情有点复杂:对学生来说真的很棒,但我也确实很替员工感到可惜。 咖啡不错,氛围也很好,至于大学规定嘛......规定就是规定。 对于学生来说,这绝对是个不错的地方。既然不能用小费表达感谢,那就用其他方式支持和感谢这些辛苦工作的员工吧!
