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 (:
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 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)
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!
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!
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.
I was super excited to try this spot and ordered the miso yuzu matcha. It was perfectly balanced and I liked how they had different matcha with varying flavor profiles to try. I wish this spot had more seating but loved my order.
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.
The drinks small like 12 oz , tease was good ,i choose yuzu matcha , you no see this much from other store! Pricey but worth. Friendly staffs! Inside look clean , i like the outdoor sitting, so chill !
===TL;DR=== - Matcha tiramisu - Matcha latte ===TMI=== Ooooweeee. With the scarcity of matcha but the surge of matcha demand, a matcha drink is sure expensive rn. For some reason, the size of this drink was smaller than I imagine. The matcha tiramisu was ok. On the naturally sweeter side, more enjoyable than the matcha latte. The matcha latte was bland.... And we think for that price and for a line out the door for this place, it shouldn't be. For my drink, there was also a broken piece of the matcha whisk inside my drink for which I sipped up...... not good and hazardous. read more

My sister and I stopped by Yume Mori Matcha the line was fast, thankfully. We got the Matcha Tiramisu and Hojicha Tiramisu, and the cream on top was unreal especially when dipped with the biscoff cookies. read more
Another social media gem that pleasantly surprised me with the rich umami flavor of the matcha! I was a bit indecisive on which one to get and even with the line the customer service was friendly/patient enough to recommend options based on my preferences. It's a small shop that doesn't have much seating or waiting area so it's more of a grab and go type of drink spot. Just keep this in mind when choosing this place! Parking is typically free Sundays but I believe on weekdays the lots and street parking are all metered. Definitely add this to your east bay matcha rotation! read more

This space is so cute!!! Love that there's a pretty matcha place. As you start walking toward this place you'll notice a line! For your first time there is it worth waiting? Yessssss Once you make it in you'll notice the cutest seats. Love the ambiance here, simple yet sweet. I ordered the creme brulee matcha custard cream with strawberry crepe! So fresh, delicate, lightly sweet and balanced. Check it out! read more

Went in on a Saturday afternoon and there were a decent amount of people waiting for drinks but not ordering. They have a self order station so the process is seamless. The store front is very cute and simple aka, very Japanese. We ordered two matcha coconut clouds, a matcha ichigo and a hot matcha. The matcha was very tame; however the drinks were very well made. The coconut cloud was so refreshing especially on warm day and the ichigo had a good strawberry flavor. I would like to go back and try the hojicha as well. read more

I tried the Hojicha Tiramisu, it's like a hojicha latte but comes with tiramisu cream and a biscoff cookie. You can also switch to oat milk with no additional charge for those who are lactose intolerant. The drink is super creamy and delicious, but you can't adjust the sugar level, I would say it's more like a dessert drink. Service was relatively quick despite a line, and the cafe has some indoor benches and some outdoor seating. read more

With the sudden influx of matcha spots opening in Berkeley, I had high expectations for Yume Mori Matcha. The place looked very clean, cute and minimalistic upon arrival, and there was no line when we came on a Monday afternoon. Matcha Latte (reduced fat milk, regular sweetness): Opted for a standard matcha latte rather than a double matcha, which I will be trying next time. I personally enjoyed this matcha despite the slightly bitter aftertaste that other reviews mentioned. The only issue I have is that a matcha latte of this size for $7 is personally not worth it... However, I do want to try their Matcha Tiramisu, so will be coming back when I'm in the mood to buy a matcha out. Matcha Ichigo was okay according to my friend, and a bit chunky with the strawberry hits. I'm not a strawberry matcha gal, but this was sweet and not bad. Very pretty! Overall, this is a cute spot for a quick grab n go, if there's no line. read more
Cool cute ambiance best matcha place that exists on the planet. The place feels like a spa. I finished my drink in about two seconds. The only thing is it's busy so be prepared for a bit of a line but once you order the drink is ready in no time. I've heard many locals praise this place as well. Amazing must try read more
I love the aesthetics of the store, especially the way they display their menu items! There are individual sketches for all of their drinks, where each ingredient is clearly labeled in the drawing. I ordered their Matcha Tiramisu drink. While I liked the open ceiling concept inside the restaurant and the aesthetics, there is no seating inside, and the space is small. While there were several visible workers, they were barely talking to each other, and none of the customers inside were talking either while waiting for their drinks. It was a bit awkward to wait inside and listen to just the music, but my friends' drinks and mine came within 15 minutes. The Matcha Tiramisu came with a Biscoff cookie on top, and the drink itself was light and creamy, with a good balance of matcha and sweetness. Loved the drink itself! read more
Honestly, I have to give it to Yume Mori. This place was better than I expected. After being repeatedly disappointed by matcha spots around the Bay, this one did not disappoint. The shop is super cute and located right in downtown Berkeley. I loved the overall vibe. It was calm, clean, and aesthetic in the best way. Atmosphere Since it's new, the hype is definitely real, so be ready for a bit of a wait (I think I waited 15-20 ish minutes). The space itself feels cozy and modern, perfect for a quick caffeine stop or catching up with a friend. I also loved that they hand whisk all their matchas, which some places in the Bay actually charge extra for (not a fan). What I Ordered I got the Tiramisu Matcha and my friend ordered the Strawberry Matcha. TBH - I only got the tiramisu because it looked cute and aesthetic which is not usually something I'd go for since it sounded sweet. I opted for no extra sweetener just in case. Experience I could really taste the matcha, which I appreciated, and the Biscoff cookie on top was a fun touch. The drink was a little on the smaller side and the wait was definitely noticeable, but the milk-to-matcha ratio was solid (have you tried matcha at a boba spot, if so - you get it). Prices are a bit high, but they offer oat milk at no extra charge, which I thought was a nice plus. Final Thoughts I'm not mad about this spot at all. The matcha was good, the vibe was cute, and overall it's one of the better matcha spots I've had in the area. I'd definitely come back to try more drinks once the hype calms down a bit. read more

Really great experience! I was visiting emeryville over the weekend and this was just 10 mins away from me, so I stopped by. I went here Saturday morning, and Sunday afternoon. I ordered a double matcha with regular sweetness and it was so good I came back for the same matcha the next day! Just a heads up there is going to be a line when you come here, it's a pretty popular location and they hand whisk all of their drinks! The service was very nice, they welcomed me in and I got a text when my order was ready. I'll definitely be back! read more

Checks all the boxes, but not particularly memorable. Strawberries were fresh, cream had a good mouthfeel to it, and crepe was light and fluffy. I keep tasting grass in the matcha drinks which is not to my liking. read more
I love yume mori! The vibe inside is great. We waited probably around 15-20 minutes in total on a Saturday night. I thought the matcha ichigo crepe was sweet and creamy. As for the tiramisu matcha, I loved it. It was sweet and a drink that I have never seen before read more

Great matcha place to stop by for a quick drink, there's usually a like though so expect about a 10 minute wait. I tried the crepe as well and it was supperrr yummy, would def get it again! Limited seating, but a perfect grab and go spot read more
Cute matcha shop with a minimalistic and industrial aesthetic. I came here on a Sunday afternoon. The line was out the door, but the wait wasn't too bad. There were a good amount of staff members hand whisking the drinks. I ordered a Double Matcha. The cup was quite small, but the drink was really good. I could definitely taste the matcha, and the flavor was nice. I would definitely recommend the Double Matcha for matcha lovers. read more
Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it had some good business. Sign on the door says Soft Opening still. Not sure when this opened but I have a feeling it's going to be popular among matcha lovers. You can only order from an iPad up front. Interface was easy to use. Very succinct menu. We ordered 3 drinks and boy can you taste that matcha. I want to say it tastes like ceremonial matcha powder! There are no seats inside. Only a 2x4 wooden bench I suppose is only for waiting, so if you want to sit and relax there are a few chairs on the sidewalk. Definitely recommend. read more
They recently changed their policy, so the crepes are only available on weekends after 1pm! we thought the crepe was just okay - the cream didn't have a strong matcha flavor, and there were some roasted rice cereal type of bits at the bottom. The matcha is great quality, but the drinks are pretty small. I like how the drinks aren't too sweet either. The matcha usucha is a great pick if you want to taste the matcha flavor. The shop is pretty small with limited seating just for waiting for your drink. It gets really popular on the weekends, but they prepare the drinks relatively fast. read more
Was recommended this place by a matcha lover so I had to try!! Super super cute menu and I love the vibes and layout of the place. They also sell Japanese chawans all super cute colors and prints. As for the matchas, I do appreciate how they let you pick your preferred blends and even the roast level you would like for the hojichas! I picked the first blend (I believe kiko) and it turned out pretty smooth! I give it a 4 star only because I do like my matchas more milky *personal preference* but overall enjoyed my drink. It is a bit pricey for the size although it's pretty standard now for most matcha shops I noticed. Would definitely come back to try their crepes:) read more
New Matcha spot in Berkeley! They hand-whisk everything and use bougie gear to make their matchas; we're talking about the Acaia scales. We only waited 5~ minutes to order on the kiosk and then another 5 minutes to get our drinks. We got the Tiramisu Matcha and Matcha Usucha. The Matcha Usucha is not a latte and more matcha & water but it has a full flavor profile with a sweeter first taste and more bitter aftertaste. The Tiramisu Matcha has a cream top and more on the sweeter side. Get their regular Matcha if you like sweeter and floral! read more
You can actually taste the matcha here - unlike some of the other new matcha places in Berkeley- so that's a good sign that they're using high quality powder. However I think they are still lacking some attention to detail. I asked for an unsweetened latte and I got a very very sweet drink. I avoided mixing it so I just drank the matcha part at the top and threw away the rest. read more

Modern minimalist shop that sells a variety of matcha drinks. Another solid matcha spot, I tried the double matcha and I could taste the matcha flavor. What makes this place unique is that you can choose from four different styles of matcha powder to make your drink. I followed their recommendation and asked for less sweet. You order at a kiosk, and the drink came out fairly quickly. The only caveat is the price: $8-9 feels a bit steep given the cup size. Street meter parking is available. read more
Such a delicious and creamy matcha latte! One of the better ones I've had, even though the cup is so tiny I still think it was worth the $8. You are paying for quality here. There was quite a line on a Sunday afternoon, but it moved fairly fast. I wish there was more than one tablet for ordering since people tended to take a while on their order since it requires customization of which matcha, etc but the drinks itself came out pretty quickly after we ordered. I got a tiramisu matcha latte with Koku (+50cents) and it was a perfect pairing. We also got one with Yuga matcha, but it was too creamy and milky for my liking. Would definitely come back here! read more

I went to visit my friend in Berkeley and this was a spot she wanted to try out. Her friends mentioned that their hojicha was better than the matcha, so we got a hojicha latte and the hojicha tiramisu latte. We had really high hopes for this spot, but we were both underwhelmed by both drinks. The hojicha tiramisu was better than the original latte, but both were a little too watered down for our liking. As I drank my drink slowly, I realized at some point that there was a strong aftertaste of something that was unpleasant. Being that it started tasting like tap water straight from the faucet, we assumed it was the ice melting into the drink. The space is small but aesthetic and their staff is super friendly and kind. You do order at a kiosk, which there is only one so be prepared to wait at least 30min if there's a line. We spent the majority of our time waiting in line to order, but we really only waited like 15min because the line hadn't reached outside. And then we did get stuck behind someone who kept asking questions about kiosk system like how it knew their name without them entering it. So, that added a few minutes to our wait. Once we submitted our order, it took about 10min to receive our drinks. 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

Strong matcha with fun menu offerings, but almost $9 for a small cup?! It's a smaller matcha store with only a couple seats outside and a self-serve kiosk. They also have soft serve and crepes as well but crepes only on select days. tried their tiramisu matcha w/ no sweetener and I thought it was good but wouldve been better w/ sweetner! It was strong and I love that they have different matcha options you can get, but it felt more like a grab and go place and a tad bit overpriced. read more

I saw this place on tiktok and thought it would be so good but I left a bit disappointed. I like more sweet matchas but this one was really bitter. Or maybe i'm just not use to better quality matcha? But not what I was expecting. I waited 15 mins to order and another 15 mins for the drink. They were sold out of scones but someone had it in front of me and it looked so delicious so maybe I will go back to try that. If you like stronger matcha this is the place for you!! Also, i thought it was a bit small for the price but very cute shop w nice employees 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

vibe is kinda hostile, the ice cream was sweet but it tasted more like vanilla. the matcha was okay not as sweet as others i've tried (shizu) read more
This place is quite small but really nice in aesthetics. I was in the area for a business trip and stopped by to get a drink. I ordered on a kiosk and waited a few minutes until my drink was ready. I got the Hojicha Tiramisu and it was really good, not too sweet and a really subtle taste of the hojicha. Although I'm not sure how their matcha is, I'd definitely come back to try it again if I am in the area. It is a little pricy though considering it is in a small cup. read more

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
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 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 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
