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!
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.
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)
we waited only 10 mins before ordering, then drinks took another 5 mins. I love that you can choose the matcha type and notes. I chose the koku (+$0.50) with my double matcha and it was worth -- so nutty, creamy, and umami!
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
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!
Came on a Sunday afternoon and just beat the crowd. We got the matcha crème brûlée crepe, hojicha ichigo and double matcha and everything was excellent. This was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last. The ordering can take a while since you get to pick your drink, pick the kind of matcha/hojicha you want, type of milk and sweetness but I love that you can really customize it to make it perfect for your own individual taste. You don't feel rushed to order as it's just a tablet but there is usually a long line of people. Don't forget to look at the specials right by the ordering tablets. The crepe was not too sweet and had whipped cream mixed with cornflakes under the custard. It is on the expensive side but the quality warrants the price. Looking forward to coming back and trying some other items!
Had such high hopes, it's sooo inconsistent. Especially for almost $9 per drink for such a small cup. I'm guessing 12-14 oz. We ordered two Tiramisu Matchas, one was very yummy thick and the matcha was strong. The other matcha was on the watery side and barely any cream. (We paid extra for Koku matcha, which is 50 cents more for a "stronger" matcha) We also purchased the double matcha with Koku matcha, which you'd think would be the strongest matcha flavor. Wrong! It was incredibly watered down, we also got less sweet for this drink. It tasted like syrup and oatmilk. The matcha cream is very light matcha as well. We also arrived at 4:40 and it took a while to be able to order because there was a line. Once we reached the kiosk it turned exactly 5:00 which is when they stopped serving crepes, we asked if we were able to purchase one but they said no so we were a little bummed out as well :( Customer service was not the best, they stopped calling numbers out so we were just waiting for nothing! I asked a few questions and it felt like I was a burden. The store itself is incredibly warm and tiny. Not their fault since the sun is facing the store but just another note. Verdict: Not worth the money, the drive, when Binge Coffee is around the corner and there's so many other matcha places all in the same vicinity.
Came on a sunday and there was a line. Ordered a drink and a crepe. Expected to wait a while but everything was ready after 10 mins. Crepe Ichigo (2/5) The crepe included strawberry bits, whipped cream, matcha custard, strawberry sauce. I mostly tasted whipped cream and nothing else. The crepe seemed undercooked. Matcha Kumo (5/5) Made with miki matcha powder, matcha cream, water and less sweet (5g). It was super smooth and a balanced flavor profile. Slightly umami, slightly sweet with no bitterness. Definitely worth it for the matcha drinks.

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

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

My second favorite matcha in Berkeley (after Binge) but this place put me onto hojicha! Very creamy & delicious, with the perfect amount of cream on top + a little cookie. Get the tiramisu hojicha! 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 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
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

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

Cute matcha spot with lots of creative takes on matcha! I love that they do a cold whisked matcha since I don't really other spots with this on the menu. There's also outdoor seating for a sunny day! 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

Long lines, but worth the wait. Cold brew matcha had quality-tasting coffee. Cold whisk matcha was nice & creamy, just what I'm looking for when I'm craving a matcha. They also had really cute chawans! 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

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

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

Unfortunately, I need to reduce my rating from previously because today was absolutely unacceptable for wait-time. I waited 40 minutes for two matchas (screenshot provided). My feedback and suggestions for improvement would be: - Be transparent about wait-time upon ordering. Give customers the option to consent to a long wait-time or not. That could be a written sign placed somewhere visible, or being told "Hi, we're a bit backed up at the moment so it could take 30-40 minutes for your drink" sets the expectation clear from the start. Otherwise, you're like me and you feel stuck: How far are you until your order is coming? Do you leave? What if they're almost done? - The shop is small, so ensuring there's enough space for customers and employees is key, especially in a time of long wait-times. Please encourage customers that after placing their order to please wait outside and wait for a text that the order is ready. Again, that could be through a sign somewhere visible or a quick comment. Currently, the interior experience feels cramped, with people waiting inside to order while others are waiting for their drinks. It leaves no room to keep the space clear for ADA and safety measures. read more
Long line, but it goes pretty fast and you order at a kiosk! Pretty standard pricing for ceremonial grade matcha-- and I liked that you can choose which matcha flavor profile you'd like. Also really like that you can choose the sugar levels too! read more

decent new matcha place worth a visit! the space: this is mostly a grab and go place. there is minimal seating inside and outside. there are no public restrooms. the process: you order from a screen. drinks are $7.75. love that you can select between oat milk or reduced fat milk without an added cost. you can select no sweetener added or yes sweetener, nothing in between. the menu: they only serve matcha and hojicha here. they serve matcha crepes on weekends only from 1 PM until they are sold out. it's a small and simple menu, and each drink is made to order the review: I love the strong matcha and hojicha flavor in the drinks. the tiramisu and matcha foams on top of the drink are suuuper tasty. knocked off one star because the drinks were way too sweet, almost to the point of being undrinkable at certain layers. next time I will opt for no sweetener in the drink read more

Hack: Come prepared and do your research!! There are so many different matchas to choose from (like matcha strains) and they have you order on the iPad so I was really confused on which one to choose and since it was so packed I couldn't really ask. I tried the Yuzu matcha and I was not expecting it to be super salty (but perhaps it's meant to be like that I just wanted to try something new). The hojicha was better but I did not taste any of the tiramisu. Would give it a try again! read more

Yume Mori Matcha is delicious and adorable! This little shop is located on Shattuck, and it has some outdoor seating available. They have lids and straws available at the counter. Their service is fairly quick, although the crepes took a lot longer than the matcha to come out. The longer wait was definitely worth it. I ordered a crème brûlée crepe with strawberry toppings. I wish there was more crème brûlée, the sweet crunch and mix with the matcha is to-die-for. For a moment, we were worried we paid an extra dollar for the single strawberry on top but there were also strawberries mixed into the crepe! The crepe was easy to share and eat, the wrapping comes off easily and does not stick to the crepe. If you're a matcha lover or even just a fan of crepes, you have to try Yume Mori! read more
I'm so happy they opened this up right by campus! The storefront itself is quite small, not. lot of seating. But it's cute and I loved seeing the workers make each drink. They measure the matcha every time and their drinks are always consistent. I tried the tiramisu matcha and the hojicha ichigo. While the matcha was high quality and very good, I was a little disappointed it didn't taste at all like tiramisu. The hojicha however was fantastic!! I'd definitely come back for it. The drinks are on the pricier side (around $8-9) but I'd definitely still check it out if you haven't yet! read more
Personally, out of the regular matcha places I go to, this one takes the crown. Despite the process of waiting in line, ordering, and receiving our order being almost 45 minutes this place was worth the wait. The lobby is small and it can get crowded really quick during peak hours so be aware. This place is definitely quality over quantity because their cups are smaller than other places but is 100x better. I'm left wanting more as soon as I finished my drink. The cream on top was divine on both drinks and the cookie is a nice touch to scooping up the cream. I definitely would keep coming back but it's too far for me to go here regularly. Also shoutout to the workers for working hard and fast in that small environment. read more
I was excited to try this place but left underwhelmed. The matcha was freshly whisked and vibrant green, but it was astringent with an aftertaste I didn't enjoy. Their crepes look good so maybe I'll come back and try that next time! read more
Very good matcha for an east bay establishment. Only drawback for me would be the lack of seating space. Other than that, this place tastes good, hand whisks their drinks, and does it in a timely manner. I'm definitely coming back! read more
