Wow, just wow. I felt like I absolutely had to leave a review for this place. I've been obsessed with matcha since way before it became trendy--like, we're talking about ordering Matcha Frappuccinos at Starbucks 25 years ago! And let me tell you, the matcha here is incredibly delicious. To be honest, it's not easy to justify spending around $10 on a single scoop of ice cream. But the moment my friend and I took our first bite, we both thought, Wow, this is actually worth every single penny. The matcha flavor is so rich, and the sweetness level is absolutely perfect. At first, you get that nice, distinct bitterness of high-quality matcha, but as you keep eating, the bitterness fades away, leaving only this amazing smoothness.What's really amazing is how refreshing and clean it leaves your mouth. You know how some ice creams leave a heavy, coated feeling or are so cloyingly sweet that you desperately need a glass of water right after? There is absolutely none of that here.You can choose to get your ice cream in a cup or a cone. The cone costs an extra $1.50, but I was so curious about the black waffle cone that I decided to go for it--and I would have seriously regretted it if I hadn't! It was honestly such a delicious waffle cone. I'd happily buy and eat the cone completely on its own. I ate every single bite right down to the very bottom and left feeling so incredibly satisfied.Next time, I am definitely, 100% trying their matcha latte. Just thinking about how good it's going to be makes me so happy already! If you are a matcha lover, this place is an absolute must-visit.
This place is located inside the Mitsuwa. The matcha is whisked once you place the order, it is not premade. The matcha is smooth, bold, creamy, and with a umami flavor. It has a vibrant green color, no harsh bitterness, but it is strong and intense. It comes with no sugar, so add sweetness if needed. The staff is informative, I wanted to order the strong uji matcha, but she informed me that it will be very strong. I would definitely return to try the strong uji matcha next time. This is definitely one of the top matcha places I have tried. Highly recommend.
This is a small tea shop located in Mitsuwa's food court alongside a J.sweets. Love the soft serve options they have here, the staff is super kind and friendly. Love the design of the menu and the types of signage they have along with the "plastic/wax" model versions of all the items they serve. I really wanna try the parfait next time when I'm not feeling so full, but I really enjoy this kind of thing! With the different levels of "matcha-ness" and the beautiful soft serve swirls. Can't wait for our next visit.
I wanted to try this spot after seeing the deep green color of their matcha on tiktok. However, I think i've met my match...I could not handle the strength of this matcha :(. I think diehard matcha fans would like this spot but it's too hardcore and bitter for me. I'm always not sure if they just ran out of regular milk but I was only offered soy or oat. Service was fast once it came to drink preparation.
Quality matcha. It has that perfect shade of green. Oat milk option for the dairy intolerant like me. Service is always kind and attentive. 5 stars easy
This place is card only. It's inside Mitsuwa market in the food court. I've only been twice and I pass this place regularly. I didn't know it was here. When i looked up Yelp matcha places near me. I got 2 matcha lattes to go one iced and one hot
I don't know how to feel about this place, the Matcha was poured out of a premade container, likely a Matcha concentrate, which didn't look all that appealing, because I thought matcha was supposed to be fresh? I mean, on the bright side, the order came out quick because the staff didn't need to brew fresh Matcha? The Matcha latte was OK, but it tasted like green tea more than anything? The color was very rich otherwise. The service itself was great, I was just thrown off by the Matcha itself.
One of shops inside Mitsuwa Marketplace, offering a variety of matcha based drinks and desserts. I got a vanilla soft serve cup - that is one creamy delicious cold treat. The mango matcha drink is okay but matcha isn't my favorite, but my daughter loves the drink. Quick service for takeout. , used the chairs of the marketplace to consume these items. Not the typical food court in a mall, one of several dedicated Japanese food.
So happy this matcha spot opened in North OC (love their Torrance location)! Quick and friendly service, matcha is always on point, ample seating in the food court... always know that my parfait or drink will be consistently delicious.
This is genuinely the strongest matcha I've ever had in my entire life. 3 sips I was already buzzing, if you like a very strong matcha this is definitely the place for you 100%
I like Yamari for their authentic matcha. So many choices on the menu. The service at this location was great. I usually would order a matcha latte, but the staff informed me that their matcha lattes were not sweetened. If I wanted a sweetened one, it was recommended that I get the Matcha Au Lait. I got one. It was perfect. I regretted not getting a large lol We also got the Uji strong matcha. lol I guess it was pretty strong. We had to ask for some milk lol The premium mixed soft serve was delicious. The mochi was yummy. It looked so pretty with the chocolate. Will visit again =] Yamari was located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace.
I had been to the Torrance location before, and honestly I wasn't too impressed by the einspanner and latte, which I found to be a little light on the matcha and heavy on the milk. With this new location opening up a while ago, I was convinced to give it another chance. GETTING HERE AND PARKING: We came on a weekday afternoon so very easy WHAT I ORDERED: Koicha einspanner THE DRINK: Honestly, this was such a different experience from the first einspanner I had in Torrance. The ratio was on point, and it really didn't feel like the drink ended up getting watered down by the cream which was what it felt like last time. The cream itself was perfectly sweetened, so it ended up being the perfect sweetness altogether when mixed. The matcha itself was great, and they let you substitute the milk part itself for oat milk. SERVICE: Very good! Water cups upon request VIBES: Smaller food court compared to the Torrance Mitsuwa, but on a weekday afternoon it was practically empty. Even saw some people working on laptops, but no outlets and not sure if there's wifi here. BOTTOM LINE: I was surprised tbh - a good option for an einspanner!
This place is worth visiting if you're looking for high quality matcha soft serve. The soft serve has strong matcha flavor and creamy. Portions are very generous, so I would suggest sharing if you have a small appetite. The dark chocolate square also paired well with the ice cream. Make sure you check this place out if you're doing some shopping inside Mitsuwa!

Located inside the Cypress Mitsuwa as part of their food court, Yamari is extremely well known for their high quality matcha drinks and ice cream. So why was I, a guy who doesn't particularly care for anything matcha-flavored, patronizing this place? They also have vanilla soft serve! The woman at the counter was quite nice and explained the ingredients to several of the ice cream options on the menu. My selection was quickly prepared. The vanilla soft serve is also high quality. It's the best vanilla soft serve I've ever had, very creamy and with a luscious flavor. Added onto the cup of ice cream were two balls of flavorless mochi, soft & chewy but didn't really add anything to the ice cream experience, and a yummy square of chocolate. Also added was a blob of red bean. I don't mind red bean in Japanese desserts if it is sweetened, even a little, but this didn't seem to be sweetened at all, so it wasn't a pleasant taste in juxtaposition with the delicious ice cream. Fortunately there was only a tiny bit of red bean so it was easily avoided. Kyoto-based Yamari has been making matcha drinks since 1860, so they certainly know their matcha, but they do a great vanilla soft serve ice cream too. read more

Our favorite matcha shop is even closer to those in the SGV! Previously, the only Yamari in the U.S. was inside the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace in Torrance. This Yamari is located in the newly opened Mitsuwa in Cypress and is very similar to the other one, though the food court is a bit smaller due to the limited footprint of the space. The stall shares space with a J. Sweets (an artisan Japanese confectionary shop), similar to the Torrance location, so you can pick up some chocolates and cookies while you're there. Or, if you're feeling hungry, you can get some ramen and/or onigiri from the other vendors... but that's a review for another time. Their menu is quite expansive, ranging from lattes to hojicha to floats to even a banana bread, but we like to keep things simple and order the regular matcha latte and the regular matcha soft serve (which comes with a nice chocolate square). We also like to purchase their "Uji Mukashi" matcha powder and make our own lattes at home, because who can afford to buy $8 matcha drinks every other day, know what I mean? Anyway, Yamari's matcha products come from Uji, Kyoto (you know, the birthplace of matcha) so you know it's gonna be good. We prefer matcha with lots of umami and just barely sweet, so this has become our favorite in SoCal! read more
The Yamari stall is in a newly opened Mitsuwa with beautiful, spacious, and clean seating in the center of the market. I've tried Yamari in Torrance and would say the matcha here is equally potent and well made. We tried their koicha einspanner on the special menu. The latte and syrup were both strongly matcha flavored with minimally sweetened; the einspanner cream was lightly sweetened. It wasn't busy at all and our drinks were made fairly quickly. I think next time I would get their regular matcha latte, because the einspanner cream makes the latte a bit too creamy for me. Expensive for the size but very concentrated. Would come again! read more
This is definitely one of the most authentic matcha spots in OC. The matcha is strong, slightly bitter, and has that deep beautiful matcha aroma. So high quality and so delicious. The staff was so sweet and helpful with all the questions I had about the matcha powder I was interested in buying. The service was also super fast and there's plenty of seating because it's in like a food court area! read more
I really love this place. I've been going to the Torrance location and so glad they joe have one in Cypress. Really rich and strong matcha ice cream. Their matcha drinks are also really good. The place is small and efficient. The price is not too bad but really high quality matcha. The device is quick and staff is friendly. It's located inside Mitsuwa market. Parking is plenty but can be challenging. read more

The Food: There's a menu full of options, but at the time of writing this -all- they had left was the matcha ice cream. That said, it was super good (so long as you like matcha, my son dug it, my daughter was less impressed). The Service: Super friendly and expedient, which is good as they are slammed! :P The Ambiance: It's part of the Mitsuwa eatery area, so it's fresh, clean, and new with lots of seating. If you like matcha then this is a must! Hope to see you here! :) read more

Got the matcha latte thats sweetened. Good matcha but it's SOOOO strong. It is on the more bitter side, which I like , but might not be ideal for those who like sweeter matcha. Milk substitution are available as well and I got like with oat milk ! Left me with caffeine anxiety bc it was so strong LOL but it was good read more

happy that yamari is in oc! i've visited the torrance location once and loveee the soft serve. i got the mango matcha and matcha au lait. i originally chose the matcha latte based on the sweetness/umami/bitterness profile but the cashier told me the menu is the japanese menu so they don't follow it. basically the matcha latte is unsweetened and au lait is sweetened. they also recommend the matcha fruit mango latte but honestly it was just okay, the matcha taste isn't as strong and not as sweet as i thought. but the au lait is so good!!! the matcha bitterness is strong tho a little bit grainy. i also wanted to order a soft serve but they said their soft serve machine is broken (went on a saturday) and it would take about one hour to fix. will come back next time for the soft serve!! read more

I was excited to try this shop as Yamari Torrance is a renowned matcha shop that happens to have the most deep matcha taste for soft serve. Comparing it to Torrance, this shop has some ways to go. It's good but not great. It doesn't blow me away like the soft serve in Torrance did. I'm sure they'll get better, but Higa-san, your team here has some ways to go! The J-Sweets staff are friendly and helpful. They have aimilar array of goods there as other k-sweets stores in other Mitsuwa locations. I'm glad however that Yamari opens a second store here. I love it and hope they keep expanding. Ambiance is not as great as Torrance since this Mitsuwa court is very small. The Yamari brand is a renowned brand in Japan and hail from Tsujiri Hei brand from Kyoto. Check them out if you're ever in Japan https://www.tsujirihei.co.jp/en/lineup/ read more

For those that love authentic matcha, this is the perfect spot for you. I opted for their premium mixed soft serve (in a cone), which includes a 50/50 mix of both matcha and vanilla. The matcha had a deep earthy flavor, that can be a bit intense, so the vanilla definitely helps balance it out. Presentation is top-notch and the staff are friendly, attentive, and quick with completing orders. Great for an after meal dessert if dining at one of Mitsuwa's food stalls. read more

Wow I can't believe this place isn't as popular as it should be! Deserves to go VIRAL cuz how does no one know that there's an AUTHENTIC matcha dessert shop from Kyoto (the birthplace & mecca of Matcha in Japan)! THE BEST MATCHA soft serve I've ever tasted: rich earthy deep bitter matcha flavor. Located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace and left at the entrance where the dessert section is at. The worker that took my order was super helpful in deciding what to get, but since it was my first time trying their matcha, she suggested I'd get a vanilla swirl matcha soft serve just in case the matcha was too strong. Glad she did because I probably wouldn't have finished it all this first visit. Definitely a "hidden gem" for matcha lovers her in the area. Not sure if there's another location at other Mitsuwas, but glad the one closest to my house has this Matcha Cafe Gem! read more

This matcha is awesome! Yamari has great high quality and STRONG matcha. The staff are always helpful and help answer any questions about the menu or matcha. The food court is small but clean, and has a cool seating area with a recreation of the great wave. The roasted hojicha is super good as well, very rich and nutty. Its a small menu, but it hits everything and I'm tempted to try it all!! read more
