This is easily one of the best matcha spots around! What sets them apart is how customizable each drink is. On top of their signature menu, they offer 7 different matcha varieties to choose from depending on your personal taste profile. The staff actually take their time meticulously whisking every single order right in front of you, which adds such a special touch to the aesthetic environment! Their sweetness levels are super balanced, so opting for regular sugar turns out perfect without masking the tea flavor. The Koku matcha is my absolute favorite so far because of how delightfully balanced it is, and ordering it as a tiramisu matcha with oat milk is an absolute must-try.
I love this place 10:10 Matcha was just right. If you like a natural earthy flavor matcha this will be the place for you
Tiny storefront that serves a zillion permutations of matcha & hojicha. Pretty popular.. Inside you'll find a busy casual vibe with the usual white and natural wood aesthetic as are most of these matcha shops. Have you heard about the "Tyranny of Choice"? Faced with too many choices, people tend to be disappointed in whatever they chose - kind of a buyers regret/FOMO rolled into one. Well, that IS a factor here at Yume Mori Matcha, because there are SEVEN matcha powders to base your drink on, as well as two different bases for Hojicha as well. Nevertheless, we put our big boy pants on and made our bets.. Winner - I was very pleased with my Hoji-Ko Strawberry Hojicha which had some nutty overtones on top of the moderate sweetness (set to half sweet). We also tried the Koku-based Matcha at half sweet. Both were pretty good and strong. It's pretty decent. I wouldn't mind coming back.
Came on a Saturday an hour before closing and there was 20 min line. What I like about this place is that you can choose your own matcha powder. I probably wouldn't know the difference but thats really cool. Yuzu Miso matcha (5/5): Got this with the Nami matcha. This drink was a blend of so many unique flavors. There was the sweetness from the nami matcha, the earthiness from the tea, the richness from the miso, and the sour from the yuzu. Probably my favorite matcha place in Berkeley
I need to come back on the weekend to try the crepes! Super modern and whimsical matcha shop. I like the variety of the different kind of matcha they offer The drink menu and options to add a biscoff cookie are unmatched. For my first visit I had the Yuzu Miso Matcha and it was so so good. I adjusted the sweetness to less sweet but I could have went with regular or medium sweet. I'm the type of person that normally doesn't go for sugary drinks too. You order from a kiosk and get a text notification your drink is ready/. I didn't wait long at all.
The Matcha Coconut Cloud was absolutely delicious and so aesthetically cute! I ordered 5 drinks and was pleasantly surprised by how quick the service was. Everything was easy and efficient. Parking can be a little tough, but definitely worth the visit if you're in the area. Can't wait to come back and try some of their other drinks!
Had an even better experience here the second time around! Loved trying all the crepes (grateful to have gone with a few friends) and different drinks. HIGHLY recommend the Crunchy Choco crepe--the raspberry at the bottom is fire. The Matcha Crème Brûlée still reigns superior for me tho! The rich matcha flavor and creaminess are The team behind the bar are super efficient and work quickly to send out your orders. Super friendly as well. Really appreciated their ease in accommodating for my reusable cup! Looking forward to many more drinks & crepes here (:
I have to say, that when cafes ask you to pick out the matcha, I tend to be disappointed. I wish that cafes would just preset their base matcha but I get the business model. I wasn't wowed by their matcha, but it wasnt the worst I've ever had. Just a tad over hyped. I do want to try soft serve next time thought. They only serve it during certain hours of the day and we had came just right after the cut off.
I can see why there is always a line for this matcha spot! Many variations of matcha drinks, including different bases (coconut water, americano style, milk) and flavor (yuzu miso, strawberry, honey lemon, tiramisu etc) They also have crepes and soft serves available. The coco matcha cloud was refreshing. It was also slightly creamy and sweet from the matcha foam on top. The matcha tiramisu was creamy from the addition of mascarpone cream. It was the perfect kick of caffeine disguised as a sweet dessert. For this drink, it comes with your choice of matcha. There were over 5 varieties of matcha with various unami, earthy notes, bitterness levels etc. Great spot for a matcha! There aren't many seats to sit and chat with friends -- 2 thin wooden benches inside and 2 tables outside. Ordering is through a single kiosk.
With all the new matcha spots in the bay, there's tough competition for a sweet treat. Yume Mori definitely hits the spot :) It's a small shop with a couple of tables/chairs outside and kiosks to order from in store. Ordering was pretty quick but one unique thing is that you're able to pick what kind of matcha or hojicha you want. I liked that each of the teas had tasting notes next to the menu so you know what you're choosing. I ordered a matcha float and it was so yummy. The matcha was earthy and a tad bitter but the soft serve sweetened it perfectly. The soft serve had a strong matcha flavor but was more on the sweet side and had an icy consistency (my fave lol)
I was very impressed with their different matcha options including their dessert! You would have to self order through the tablet but staff is always there for any questions if needed. I had taken their recommendation and tried their matcha powder (yuga). Tried their specialty of their YuzuMiso Matcha - unique and refreshing. I also really enjoying their matcha crepe (Ichigo) that came with cream and strawberry. Truly a classic and I wouldn't want it in any other way. I would definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area
09.28.2026. double matcha (miki), reduced fat milk, medium sweet. 7.95. banana milk hojicha (hoji-ru), reduced fat milk. 7.95. These were really good. The matcha cream is lightly sweetened to give the entire drink a nice subtle sweetness without losing the depth of the matcha. The miki is indeed light and floraly but with a good matcha flavor. The banana hojicha was also really good. The sweetness of the banana milk went perfectly with the roastiness of the hojicha. I'd definitely come back for these drinks again but $8 for a smaller drink is a little steep. The cafe itself is super cute but super small. Only seating is outside, so not really a viable work place.
I am visiting from Hawaii and decided to try this Matcha spot. First things first, parking is limited. You will be lucky if you land a parking spot, which we did. This place was obviously a popular spot because the traffic was busy and there was a line. When you get inside, it's very minimalistic. They have an ordering pad and I ended up getting the Matcha Tiramisu. The wait is about 5-7 minutes for your drink. Once I received my drink, all I could say is WOW. That drink was crazy good! It was topped with biscoff cookie which balanced out the earthy taste. Overall, I would come back here again. 5/5 recommend!

Love the matcha latte and matcha crepe! It's a small shop and there is usually a wait/ no seats. They have various matcha lattes, all hand whisked on order. The crepes are also made fresh on Fri-Sun from 1pm and takes awhile to be ready but it's well worth the wait! The crepe has a great brûlée top and the cream is fluffy and not too sweet. I'm definitely coming back to try more of their menu items. read more

If you've ever been to Japan, the taste and vibes felt EXACTLY like it. Was a long line but completely worth it read more
We just happened to walk by Yume Mori last saturday and realized it's their soft opening since their grand opening is on the 28th. It's a very cute store with seating outdoor. The line wasn't too long so we decided to try their matcha crepe. So delicious!!! I love how they put little crispy rice puff inside if I got the name correct. Hahaha... Have to come back to try their other crepe flavors and their drinks. read more
I felt the need to peek into this shop when I saw the line out the door! It's a small cafe with two kiosks to order matcha drinks from. Two types of matcha powders, and it's cool to see the baristas whisking at the bar on the left. I got the yuzu miso matcha, which has an interesting citrus umami savory taste. We also tried the strawberry matcha. Both drinks were finished after walking a few blocks in Berkeley, so my only reservation is that these drinks are quite small in size. read more

Matcha was good they offer two types and their descriptions of them are pretty spot on. The seaweed one is very seaweed. I prefer the mie. I got an ichigo and it was good. Overall quick service as well. Only gripes were a small cup which is like every matcha place and difficult to park at here if you're not a local. If you're a student though it's worth swinging by but you can't study here there's no seating or restrooms. read more

Took a quick stroll in downtown Berkeley and came to Yume Mori for an after lunch pick me up. We waited about 10 min in line and ordered our drinks at the iPad counter. Drinks were prepared quickly and were quite good! We got the Matcha Tiramisu (which other than the biscoff, tasted just like a normal matcha) and the Double Matcha. Both drinks were delicious smooth and tasty. The matcha they use tastes very premium and I would definitely come back! read more

Perfect matcha spot, especially when there is a new one opening at every corner. The attention to detail is great and the types of matchas are amazing. I wish it was easier to figure out which one to get, but that just means another reason to go back to try more. read more

I can't say there's really anything extra great about this place when it comes to the taste of their matcha. They use agave honey as a sweetener which I like because I'm not into the artificial sweeteners. It also took a while to get my drink so if you can order ahead of time, I'd do that because it was pretty cold standing inside with their front entrance door open. read more

I was working close to Berkeley, so I decided to give Yume Mori a try. It's super easy to order and the place was cute. I'm not an avid matcha drinker, but this was so good! The service was okay. You don't really have any customer service experience except watching them make your drink and someone calling your number. I would go back if I was in the area! read more

I was near by on a week day around 1pm and the wait wasn't too bad! They have some outdoor seatings and some really skinny benches to wait inside haha. I got the yuzu miso matcha latte with miki. The matcha flavor was nice and strong I really liked the miki matcha as someone who doesn't prefer something bitter. I definitely want to come back to try the butter tteok and the other desserts. read more

came here on a thursday afternoon and was so lucky that there wasn't a line! ordered the yuzu miso and matcha tiramisu; while both were really good, the yuzu miso was my favorite out of the two. there are quite a few seats outside of the storefront and a few tables as well for you to enjoy your drinks with a friend and chat it up. I recommend this spot for matcha if you're a matcha fan. matcha was strong and didn't taste like just milk like other spots i've been to. read more
Here's my new favorite spot for delicious matcha! I originally stopped by craving a dreamy crepe, only to discover they're only available after 1pm on Fridays through Sundays. Excited to try one next Friday at 12:50--see you there! read more

Finally got to try out this spot and it blew my expectations out of the water! It's a cute spot along Shattuck. You order everything via a kiosk which was very convenient and quick! I ordered the tiramisu matcha and it was so good. The tiramisu cream was absolutely delicious and the cookie on top was a great touch! You can also taste the quality of the matcha and it's unmatched to any other spot in the area! I can't wait to try out more of their drinks! read more

This spot was absolutely overhyped. While cute and aesthetic, drinks were meh. I got the tiramisu matcha latte and I was expecting it to be amazing but it's pretty subpar. I won't be coming back here again sadly read more

I love how you can choose the matcha type. So you can choose a matcha with different notes. Really dope. I will be back to try one more time but I do have a few notes, I got the mango matcha, wasn't a fan of it at all, only because of the way the mango was prepared. It was very crumb-y like the mango was blended but not strained. But also it could've been more chewable chunks it just felt like stuff floating in my matcha. it would taste better as a sweet mango puree or a mango syrup because it also was lacking the sweetness to bring the mango flavor out. Speaking of sweetness, I wasn't able to adjust that which bothered me since my total with everything was $9. I'm sure I will be back to give another matcha a try since they have many and as this was a special for summer I hope this helps them adjust it read more

The matcha was good but for the size and price, I wouldnt make a trip out for this. The wait was also long. The ambiance was nice. A few patio seatings but nothing inside. read more
!!!! this one is good. they offer two types of matcha and both are eXcellent. Especially impressed with the consistency of the drinks' quality + branding. would love to try the crepes some time but they are sometimes sold out or not available except for a certain time during the day. not much seating here, but it's a little better that way - only so much lingering can be done. drinks come out at a reasonable speed despite them handwhisking each order one by one. read more

i do like the interior vibes, i like the decor and color theme. there really isn't any place inside to sit though. but there are a few tables outside! i appreciate that you can choose the type of matcha you want- one is creamier and the other is one is more aromatic/stronger matcha flavor (?) doesn't seem like oat milk is extra which is a plus in today's economy lolol only two sweetness options: low and regular we waited around ~8 minutes or so for two drinks? which is fine. there wasn't really too long of a line when we went on a Sunday afternoon. overall i think it's fun to have more options in a lively college town such as berkeley but the prices need to reflect the overall store better.. or up the volume hahaha. the matcha latte was good but not the best i've had in the area. plus- like 3 sips and you're done read more
Yume Mori Matcha is a great little cafe! They have a self service ordering system. Each drink is made fresh on the spot so it may take a little longer but worth the wait. I ordered the hojicha tiramisu which came with their "tiramisu cream" (taste like regular cheese cream) and a biscoff cookie on top. You can adjust the sweetness level of your drinks. The hojicha tea was nice and strong in the drink. It is all metered street parking in this area. Overall I think this little cafe is worth visit! read more

My favorite matcha so far in the east bay. Parking sucks but other than that it's worth it. I got the tiramisu latte matcha and it wasn't overly sweet you can taste the freshness of everything in the Matcha is A1! Service was good and fast. The interior and exterior of the place was very cute. read more
This place is so cute! The staff is very nice, helpful, and efficient. The strawberry matcha latte is so creamy and sweet, and is packed with flavor. The matcha latte is a great choice as well. But it was more on the bitter side than I was expecting. Come here quiet often now and might be my new strawberry matcha spot! read more
This place is a must visit! The ambience really reminded me of cafes in Japan, and especially the crepe they serve, I'll definitely have to try it next time! We got there right when they opened, so it wasn't too busy. I opted for the hojicha tiramisu, and it was definitely one of the best hojicha drinks I've tried! The cream top was delicious, can't wait to be back! read more

Cute aesthetic cafe in Downtown Berkeley! The shop itself is small but very cute--I love the doodles they have on their menu! I tried their matcha tiramisu and double matcha when I visited. The matcha itself is pretty good quality and has a well-rounded flavor profile compared to other matcha drinks you'd find at cafes. My biggest complaint for the place would be the size of their drinks. For $8, the drink is very small... I think I finished my drink within minutes after receiving it. Their crepes look very good though and I would love to try. But due to the high price of their drinks, I wouldn't travel far to try this cafe and there are defintitely other matcha spots in the area I would visit instead. read more

absolutely amazing! i came to berkeley just for a matcha and it did not disappoint. The aesthetic is so calming and natural vibes. The line was short. While waiting they had samples of the matcha soft serve that was so good. I opted for the tiramisu matcha & added agave pumps. SOOOOO GOOD. the customer service was great as well. The seating is very limited fyi. read more

Matcha was delightful and best I've had at a storefront compared to many across the bay. We option for Mie and you could really taste the matcha. Would return just for the matcha!! Crepes were underwhelming, lots of creme and the crepe itself isn't the crunchy kind, more of a soft crepe. A part of me wished there were more texture and or fruits read more

Small, cute place order on tablet wait for a text to get your drink. They have 2 types of matcha to choose from first I ever seen that! The matcha was so strong I never had anything like it. I would definitely come back here one of the only places that has good matcha. Only downside is the drinks are so small for the price :/. read more
