The best matcha you'll find in London! Highly recommend the tiramisu matcha - comes with cold foam on top with a ladyfinger. Bonus points if you get it hot and dip the finger in your matcha! Fast service but beware of pickpockets read more

Tsujiri - Tea Rooms Near Me - London, XGL

tsujiri has a variety of high quality japanese desserts (matcha, lattes, frappes, soft serves, floats, etc.) with flavors such as matcha, yuzu, and sakura. located in chinatown and has limited upstairs seating. service was okay, not very friendly but efficient. it tasted great--i just wish it wasn't so expensive or i would have come back again! a sundae alone is 8 pounds which is more than $10usd for a relatively small portion, but i appreciated the quality of flavor and assortment of toppings. // tsujiri sundae // there are a lot of sundaes to choose from which vary in toppings. i got the tsujiri sundae which had matcha soft serve, warabi mochi, crispy brown rice, red bean, and a biscuit on top. matcha soft serve: very good matcha flavor, i could tell it was high quality. crispy brown rice: a nice addition that adds a crunch, has a roasted flavor which is a nice touch red bean: at the bottom, adds sweetness and nuttiness biscuit: didn't have much flavor, kind of like a soft waffle flavor i was also eyeing the shiratama sundae because it had mochi and more red bean, but the tsujiri sundae seems to have more matcha soft serve. wish they had hojicha when i came because that's my all-time favorite! read more

I'm a big fan of matcha, so I was thrilled when I found out about Tsujiri. I stopped in with a friend on a weekday afternoon, and we shared a Matcha Sundae and the Kinako Mochi. Prices hover between 3 to 5 quid per item, so it's a bit of a splurge, but matcha isn't known for being cheap. The mochi was pretty yummy -- nothing spectacular -- but I loved the sundae! The sweetness of the red bean paste and mochi does a great job of counterbalancing the earthiness of the matcha. It's beautiful to behold, too. Just keep in mind that seating is super limited (maybe 5 stools by the window), so be prepared to grab n' go. I'll be back the next time I'm in London: I'm curious to try the houjicha! read more

We had the matcha and black sesame shiratama sundaes, and black sesame lattes and they were all so good! The shiratama sundaes were definitely the highlight. The soft serves for matcha and black sesame were super strong and tasty. The mochi lacked a bit of flavor, but was well complemented by the red beans, okinawa sugar, and soy bean powder that all enhanced the overall treat. The black sesame latte also came with red beans on the bottom and mochi, but it came with too much milk and I wish it had a stronger black sesame taste. Overall great dessert spot and will come back to try their basque cheesecake and hojicha! read more

I've been to other Tsujiri's before, and this one wasn't great. I was too much in a hurry to get the soft serve so I got a large strawberry matcha latte, and it had zero matcha flavor. It felt like I was just drinking strawberry. I also asked for no ice but there was definitely ice in it. I was quite disappointed, and for 7 GBP, it's quite expensive too. read more

A little hard to find (especially if you're a tourist and easily lost), and not much seating inside especially during busy hours. I got the Shiratama Matcha Sundae in a cup (had Kinako, red bean paste, Shiratama...etc.) It was about £4.95 Overall I liked my experience - patient staff, fast service, and I was satisfied with my order. read more

I love this place! I've tried it before in Taiwan and no other dessert place has as strong of a matcha flavor as this chain. I always order the sundaes because I love the texture combination of soft serve, mochi, and puffed rice. Even the waffle thats printed with Tsujiri on the top of the soft serve tastes delicious. The soft serve itself is creamy, delicious, and bright in flavor. Both the Matcha and the Houjicha are great flavors. You can now get two flavors in one sundae so I recommend doing that if you want to try each one! Overall, I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for an Asian dessert! I've never been to another dessert place that tastes so naturally match flavored as this store, read more

This place is a treat! I was walking through chinatown looking for snacks and had already enjoyed several sweet and savory buns when Tsujiri caught my eye. The style is a slick, modern, Japanese ice cream shop, with excellent flavors such as matcha and black sesame. Gone are the days when just finding matcha ice cream would've been exciting, as it's actually quite common now (happily!) but Tsujiri sets itself apart with its use of other traditionally asian dessert ingredients such as red bean and mochi. I had their black sesame shiratama sundae, and it did not disappoint. The mix of soft and chewy, sweet and cold, was perfect and I left a very happy customer! Would go back readily. read more

Good black sesame soft serve. Creamy, and also very rich and nutty. I think I still prefer the hojicha and matcha flavours though.

So good! Every time i've been here they always hit the spot. They have a variety of matcha or sesame soft serves and sundaes, dangos which are like mochi and drinks. read more

Love the matcha and hojicha ice cream here - so delicious, not too sweet, and they offer mochi, matcha creme brulee, and a host of other delicious items on their menu. This is a must visit for matcha addicts and I'm so glad I found it since I tried to stop by Yumchaa in King's Cross and it was closed (sad!). read more

Tsujiri is a small dessert takeaway shop that features everything matcha and houjicha. My friend and I came here on a Friday night to get dessert after having Korean nearby. The shop probably seats about five people so most people don't stay for long or get their desserts to go. After perusing through pictures on Yelp, my friend and I both got the matcha sundae. The matcha flavor is strong and delicious! Within this cup of sundae is also a ton of other flavors and textures from the red bean paste, wafer, mochi, chestnut and rice puffs at the bottom. I loved getting a bit of everything in each spoonful! The prices are also pretty standard for the area. If you love matcha, then you need to check this place out! read more

My absolute favorite place to get dessert in Chinatown when in the ice cream mood. The soft serve here is DELICIOUS especially the black sesame flavor. I have taken so many people here and Tsujiri never disappoints. This is a go-to spot for me and will remember their black sesame soft serve for a long long time. read more

Matcha desserts are absolutely my favourite. We ordered Shiratama Sundae without Kinako (it sometimes overpowers the other flavours). It contained excellent Shiratama (glutinous rice balls), lovely An (sweet beans), Kuromitsu (muscovado sugar syrup) and Vegan Matcha Softserve Ice Cream. This branch served the Vegan version which wasn't as creamy as expected, and Matcha flavour didn't come through enough. I cannot wait to visit the Chinatown branch and order the extra strong flavour version soon. read more

I was really looking forward to coming here especially after seeing the large menu of all matcha based items. I felt I couldn't go wrong, but perhaps I took a slight wrong turn somewhere. The afternoon rush seemed to quiet as I ordered so I was able to find a window seat. It took nearly 10 minutes for my order to be ready. Again, there were no other orders but mine. They called out it was ready. Really? One of the three staff couldn't bring it out to me? When I went over I noticed that my medium size had doubled into what I can assume was the large. It was a giant bowl and it was steaming hot. I asked the staff for a tray and after looking for one, he just said he would bring it out. Apparently more skilled than I was at carrying hot bowls of tea. The presentation was great but after a few sips once it cooled, it was clear that bigger isn't always better. The tea to milk ratio was low and I knew I wouldn't be able to finish the drink. I needed more flavour, more umph! The other menu items look very appealing should I be back but with other matcha tea makers in the neighbourhood, that won't be anytime soon. read more

This is my favourite matcha place in London, I would recommend to everyone who wants to try the REAL matcha flavour as it is in japan. Try the soft serve ice cream if it is your first time trying this flavour. There sre just few seats so it is mostly take away and a bit of queuing. Amazing place read more

I love this place. Have tried it in Asia, so I was pleasantly surprised and happy when I walked by accidentally. This is a big deal people! Finally legit, authentic matcha has arrived in central London. It's really, really good! I had the Shiromata Sundae, which was delicious! And I also got a matcha soft serve in a cup. Also delish! Perfectly sweet, with a nice, rich and smooth matcha flavour. Definitely come and get some soon. I almost knocked a star off though because this place is really small and I couldn't get a spot to sit. Never fear! You can walk 3 minutes, one block away to the courtyard of Ham Yard Hotel and sit on a bench outside. Problem solved! This place gets so busy. There was a long line out the door and I had to queue for about 10 minutes. Totally worth it though! I can't wait to come back. read more

Tsujiri - Shiromata sundae. My favourite! - Tea Rooms Near Me - London, XGL

I'd give it a full five stars if the portions weren't so small. Tsujiri matcha soft serve sundaes are phenomenal - especially when packed with a layer of Rice Krispies/Cornflakes (who knew this was such a magical combination? And yet, it makes so much sense ...) and a generous dollop of red bean paste. I tried both the sundae and the Houjicha Milk Float, which had a lovely roasted tea flavor. Staff are friendly and service is prompt - we received our order pretty much immediately after placing it, despite the busy hour! Downsides? Small portions and even smaller seating area ... some people had clearly finished their ice cream, but were just ... chilling (no pun intended). Which is cool, except for the fact that there's very limited seating and my friend and I just wanted to stay and chat. And order more. Still, if you've got a craving for a matcha treat, Tsujiri is a great bet. Just make sure to save up your pennies. read more

Tsujiri - The Houjicha Milk Float. SO much yum. Very refreshing. - Tea Rooms Near Me - London, XGL

Since Tsujiri's opening of the London branch I have been a few times, simply because of the central location in soho and late opening hours. For the first visit I opted for the matcha sundae with chiffon cake, red bean paste and cornflakes. The matcha soft serve is much sweeter with a creamier texture than the ice cream at Tombo or Kanada-ya. Friends who ordered other sundaes found that the mochi were hard rather than soft and chewy. The sundaes consisted mostly of cornflakes or rice crispies with a small serving of matcha ice cream. On subsequent visits I tried the ice cream floats as eating breakfast cereal late at night is rather unappealing. The bitterness of the Hojicha balanced the sickly sweet matcha ice cream so it seemed that the ice cream floats were preferable to the sundaes. That is until my 3rd and final visit, I ordered a matcha red bean float. The red beans were hard, the tea looked and tasted like water leftover from soaking the red beans. A very disappointing and waste of £5.95 for an unpalatable drink. With the recent opening of further matcha ice cream outlets there are far better options in Soho and Covent Garden. Tsujiri needs to improve to keep up with newer competition. read more

I came here on their second day of opening so the staff were still scrambling to figure out processes (like how to accept credit cards, or what you're ordering). You could feel the stress - but there's no need for it! Tusjiri has really yummy matcha green tea ice cream and other great desserts! I ordered the Tsujiri sundae which was good - however in the future I may skip out on all the topping stuff. I felt the red bean paste was so sweet it masked the light matcha flavor of the ice cream. Next time I'll just be getting a soft-serve; this could come down to personal preference! read more

Matchhhha Mondays! And Tsujuri is as authentic as they come originating straight from Japan. I ordered the crispy sundae which at ~£5 was a bit steep I thought considering half of it was just puffy cornflakes. I also didn't enjoy the red bean which seems to be in all their sundaes. The matcha icecream was great though! Could have had a whole tub of that! read more

Tsujiri - Matcha overload - Tea Rooms Near Me - London, XGL

Hmmm interesting reviews from other reviewers. Well for one, this is not the first Matcha Soft serve in Soho. Before this we've had Kanada Ya soft serve (who also does sesame) and we've had Shackfuyu's infamous Kinako french toast with matcha soft serve!!! I came here yesterday, and got the matcha Shiromata Sundae. Queue was decent, about 7 min wait, the servers were still slow but seem to be faster than the other reviewers found when the place first opened. There were only two servers though and when you factor this in it's basically one person taking payments and one person doing the ice creams! Wasn't very happy that the person kept saying wait to your payment and goes and dishes out some ice creams and then goes back to taking your payments... Taste-wise, I would say the matcha is not really that strong and compared to the really really sweet red azuki beans and the syrup they poured in there you really didn't have a chance to taste matcha. It was a nice experience, abeit quite expensive at £5+ for a takeaway cup! read more

Love it. I'm so glad we were lost and I spotted the word matcha. My friend ordered the o'matcha cappuccino and I ordered the green tea soft serve. The serving was huge! They put the cappuccino in a huge bowl and the matcha taste was so strong. Boy do I love matcha. The soft serve was also spot on. If you never had matcha before, you should try it here. Great customer service too. read more

Tsujiri- A pretty new matcha dessert bar opened in Rupert Street selling overpriced soft whipped matcha ice cream, floats and desserts. But the satisfaction you get is priceless. I love the bright modern contemporary decor. It's airy and bright keeping to the white and green theme of its vanilla and matcha flavoured desserts. Although I do hope they open up a bigger branch soon as there is very limited seats and space making it very cramp and hard to navigate in and out of the place. Personally I would avoid visiting for ice cream when it rains as you might end up eating it outside in the rain. Ren had to stand opposite to where I was sitting as although there was an empty space at the table, there was no seat there. Bad organisation. Service was friendly at least. We decided to get two very different matcha flavours desserts to try more of the menu. They do hot drinks and hot desserts too but we weren't interested that day as the sun was out. Yuzu O-matcha float I did love that strong sweet sour citrus taste of the yuzu. It had a nice subtle hint of bitterness too making it all very refreshing. However I didn't believe the matcha float was a good pair as the acidity starting to eat away at the ice cream breaking down the milk protein from the water content, making it lose its milkiness and instead created little blobs of protein to float around. Not a beautiful sight. The matcha ice cream was amazing though before it melted into the yuzu. It was incredibly smooth and creamy on the tongue as it melted yet very light unlike regularly ice cream that can be sickly. The matcha flavour was strong enough to taste it but blended in milk and cream, the bitterness was balanced out. Very pricey for a large at £5.95 and no where near as impressive as the sundae coming up next. O-matcha chiffon cake sundae I would definitely get this again but at £4.95 it would probably be a well deserved treat as it was pretty small. The lovely soft milky matcha ice cream soaking into the pandan cake created a lovely saturated spongy texture, bringing in the matcha flavour to the pandan. The red bean paste aided in a nice sweetness as well as a more dense and fluffy texture to give it some substance. Cornflakes was a thoughtful idea to add a nice light crunch to it. Delightful! I'm very happy that matcha desserts has finally made its way into London and slowly becoming a trend. Tsujiri is very authentic and the closest in both texture and taste compared to the ones I've had in Japan. At the moment it's a bit hectic due to it being new and trending and also because of its small space. Hopefully they will open another branch soon with more seating area. read more

I'm all about matcha so I'm so glad this place opened up in soho! The shop originates in Kyoto so I had high expectations and it didn't disappoint me once I had a spoon full of the matcha sundae with red bean and mochi with kinako powder. The combination was divine despite it being a bit sweet. The ice cream was nice and smooth with no nasty powdery bits that you get sometimes. I'd definitely like to go back, seating is limited but if you're eating ice cream in London winter weather prob best to be eaten indoors! They do have hot matcha drinks as well if you want to take it out :) read more

Everyone is giving this place bad reviews, but honestly I think it's because they don't know/respect matcha and aren't familiar with the ingredients in the sundaes. I didn't like the hojicha sundae flavour as much as the matcha one, but the matcha one was sooo tasty! Also in terms of price, it's pretty equal when comparing sundaes across competitors (Milk Train, Chin Chin labs, Udderlicious, ... other ice cream places in soho). read more

A curiously busy new cafe with a matcha focus. I thought it was a cute concept and was keen to try it. The matcha soft-serve was lovely and I had a latte as well (which pretty much tasted like I make it at home ;) My date had never had matcha before and was pleasantly surprised at how mellow the flavour is. I do wish there was more 'anglo' explanation on the menu for what the options were, and also some chocolate combos, but I will definitely come back and try one of the sundaes! Great addition to Soho :D read more

I'd bookmarked this place to try for awhile and we managed to accidentally pass by it the other day, so we had to stop by and try it. We had the Tsujiri sundae. The matcha soft serve was probably the best quality matcha ice cream I've had anywhere! I would definitely come back for it. I didn't particularly care much for the rest of the sundae, as I personally don't like red bean much. The rice krispies at the bottom were nice, but hard to eat as I choked on them from the dryness sometimes. Unfortunately, a plain soft serve cone is 3.95, which is way too expensive in my opinion. The other menu items are decently priced, but I would rather just enjoy the matcha ice cream. I'd come here again to treat myself, but this is too expensive for frequent visits. read more
