Service was amazing and so friendly. They were very open to sharing what options would match my preferences. The matcha was wonderful. Fun flavor options, and I wish I'd tried the cinnamon roll! It's in a hotel, so it was tough to find and not the most flashy, but it was a cute stop. I recommend it! read more

Gotcha Matcha & Espresso - To The Yams - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

We had a wonderful time at Gotcha Matcha the other day! We were greeting with a friendly and energetic run down of them menu that gave us a better understanding of what we wanted to order. I ordered a Banana Pudding Matcha with regular milk (pictured below). My friends ordered an Ube Latte and a Spiced Latte. The matcha was high quality and very smooth. The flavors blended really well and created a very refreshing matcha and lattes. The vibes of the space were very clean, productive, and fun! The service was quick! As we were in our way out, we were talking to the friendly man that walked us through the menu. Turns out he was the owner!! I can't wait to come back and try more of the flavors and to support this wonderful business! read more

We loved Gotcha Matcha & Espresso. The matcha is excellent. I got the ube matcha. My husband got the Dubai matcha. We each really enjoyed our beverages. I asked for my ube matcha not to be really sweet. It was perfect. My husband loved the flavors of his. He is not a huge fan of matcha. The fact that he really liked it speaks volumes. The service was wonderful. The gentleman that made our matchas was personable, knowledgeable, and made our beverages quickly. Gotcha Matcha is located inside of a building. There is signage on the street. There are a few tables next to the bar where you order. Also a table or two right outside of where you order. The tables are small. I would not suggest for a large group. They are great for two to three people. Or of course grab beverages to go! read more

Looking for matcha? This may be the only place around downtown that serves a variety of matcha drinks and ube dessert. A ordered the Gotcha Matcha latte with skim milk. A little sweeter than expected, but decent drink. Thought it was a bit pricey at almost $9 for a small matcha latte. Located inside of a Wells Fargo Tower. There is minimal seating inside but if you wander outside you'll see more tables. No restrooms. There is a rewards program if you sign up with phone number. Staff was friendly. I'll have to come back to try the Ube Cinnamon Roll! read more

I am a HUGE fan of anything that involves authentic matcha. When I saw signs outside pointing toward a corporate looking building that said "Gotcha Matcha", I knew I had to follow. The matcha here is authentic. I will say, my latte was on the sweeter side. In order to really taste the matcha, I'll ask for less sweet next time I'm in town. Cute cafe inside a big building. They also have some pastries like ube cinnamon rolls read more

I can't say I'm much for matcha, but I do enjoy a good latte and you can get an excellent one here. They are located inside an office building that is currently undergoing some construction/facelift. Don't let the construction stop you from poking your head inside and finding this cute little spot. They have some fun latte flavors like Dubai chocolate and snickerdoodle. The baristas are friendly, and it's a little pricy but I don't mind paying a bit extra to local over a chain. Overall it's a solid option for those Uptown work coffee breaks. read more

Gotcha matcha does matcha right. It has the standard selection and also some flavored option. I tried the pandan and it was very unique. I also tried the coconut water apricot and tamarind refresher.

Let me start by saying that I DO NOT like matcha. I am a big tea drinker, but for some reason I have never been a fan of matcha. With that being said, I first tasted Gotcha Matcha at a Yelp Elite event. And I kept going back for samples. I promised myself that I would check out their actual location. While it took me wayyy too long, I finally made good on that promise. My daughter is a big matcha fan, so I brought her with me. We lucked out and found a parking spot on the street near the building. Although it's located inside another building, there is plenty of signage to help direct the way. When we arrived, there were a few people enjoying drinks already at the little cafe tables. There was one young lady taking orders and making the drinks. My daughter wanted the strawberry cheesecake but they were out of one of the syrups needed. So she had a plain strawberry. I ordered the Pina colada. We both got medium sizes. My drink definitely tasted just like Pina Colada! It took me awhile to drink the whole thing. I would probably just get a small next time. But for the first time ever, I drank an entire cup of matcha (and enjoyed it)! Before I left, I made sure to grab a selfie in the cute mirror on the wall. read more

Gotcha Matcha & Espresso - The Panda - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Gotcha Matcha & Espresso is a cute lil cafe inside of a main office buidling. I was in Charlotte for a quick trip a few months back and, of course, I had to get my matcha fix. After a quick search on Yelp, we found Gotcha! Eric was the barista and he was a burst of energy right from the moment we walked in! HE was bubbly and super helpful when trying to decide what to get from their variety on the menu. We ended up getting The Panda (pandan matcha) and To the Yams (ube matcha), plus couldn't resist the ube cinnamon roll. The drinks were cute and The Panda even had a cute matcha art atop it. The cinnamon roll was pretty good but came out super late. It ended up being ready and nobody remembered to give it to us. After we were waiting for a bit, we asked if they had it and were confused but found it after some time to give to us. The space itself is cute but on the smaller side, being just a small cafe inside of a building. Overall, a cute spot to grab a matcha if you're near. read more

We stopped in for a quick drink one morning while staying at a hotel a couple of blocks away (if that). I'm not a fan of matcha but I was VERY intrigued by their latte options so we walked right over! The signage outside is very helpful when trying to figure out how to get in here. We walked, but there was street parking open nearby! The barista was super friendly and the spot was very clean! I went with a small dubai white chocolate iced latte and Burns H. went with the iced mocha. We agreed that both of them were some of the best coffee drinks we've had in the area! I can never finish a drink but I inhaled this as we walked around the city - I just couldn't put it down. Next time we are in the area I want to try their black sesame latte and some of their ube treats. I love that they have flavors you can't just get anywhere! read more

I recently got into matcha. The flavors at Gotcha Matcha are amazing. Also, the taste of the matcha lattes is delicious. 10/10 recommend for me. I tried the Dubai White Chocolate, and it had all the notes of pistachio and white chocolate. I also tried the Ube cinnamon roll. 10/10! If you can stop by here, definitely make it happen. The staff is super friendly and you might see someone with the panda head. read more

The flavors at Gotcha Matcha are unmatched. Eric, the owner, takes special care to make sure that he serves customers with quality beverages and tasty pandan and ube treats. My favorite? The Biscoff Matcha latte -- it's not on the menu, but it is on the menu, if you catch my drift. And I love that he keeps it around for customers who've been following his moves around town. Speaking of moves: I love the new location in Uptown. It's perfect with nice space to enjoy drinks inside or in the corridor leading inside. He just told me he has decaf espresso which excites me because I can't wait to try the Ubesso next! read more

I heard about the YES event and how good the matcha was and the variety of options so when I stumbled across the new location on my lunch break, I had to check it out.

For my first visit I went with a traditional hot drink but I'm planning to visit again real soon and step outside of the box! The owner is so cool and friendly, such a people person. I think with that personality and the awesome service this shop will be around a long time! Plus he has a cool panda hat! read more

Tried the iced Biscoff Matcha Latte this visit. It came highly recommended. This latte was so velvety smooth. Full of rich caramel and quality matcha I see why this drink recommended. It's not overly sweet but definitely addicting! Service was amazing and my friend was highly impressed.

Gotcha Matcha & Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Yeah...this is the one. Whether you love matcha or you think you don't, Gotcha Matcha has gotcha covered --bad pun intended. I called on the 4th of July to check hours and got a call back less than a minute later letting me know that they were operating on regular hours. Points off the bat for phenomenal customer service. That service only continued when we arrived and were deciding what to get. The baristas were so warm, friendly, and downright bubbly. Let me start by saying I'm matcha obsessed--drink it everyday obsessed. My best friend who was with me, however, tolerates it at best. That said, we both LOVED our drinks. In truth, I was worried that the flavors might be too intense and compromise the flavor profile and integrity of the matcha, but I need not have stressed. Gotcha Matcha has got flavor balancing down to a science. I had the iced panda matcha with oat milk. Made with pandan, it added the perfect sweetness to my drink and a lovely, vanilla-y, slightly floral profile to the matcha, which only elevated it. My bestie went for the Dubai chocolate matcha and she was obsessed. It was truly all she talked about for the rest of the day. I tried it and it was quite good, just slightly too sweet for my tastes and not my personal cup of tea. That said, I'm biased as I don't really enjoy chocolate. We also split the ube cinnamon roll which was perfectly soft and had a delicious rich flavor. It was like nothing I'd ever tasted before and, again, the balance of the ube was bang on. We would've gotten another one if it wasn't the last one. The cafe itself is cutely decorated in vibrant greens. It does fill up, but it never felt cramped. We loved Gotcha Matcha so much that we came back the very next day. Definitely try it out! read more

Best matcha yet!! I've been on a matcha kick lately and this is easily my favorite of the handful I've tried. The flavor was so good and the consistency absolutely perfect. The strawberry was sweet but not overbearing! Came here on the Fourth of July so it was virtually empty, but the barista was super friendly and provided great recommendations. This particular spot is located in a coworking space and is super spacious. There are also video games available to play which is a fun perk if that's your thing. read more

Stumbled upon this matcha place and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Caramel Matchiato and it was exactly what I thought it'd be -- Iced matcha with caramel drizzle (unsure if it had caramel syrup though). The matcha itself was delicious and light; I probably would have been better off getting just a plain iced matcha (latte). The caramel drizzle didn't taste artificial but it was a tad too sweet. It I ever get the chance, I'll definitely stop by here again! read more

So grateful they were open on a holiday, especially since they're located in the lobby at 200 S Tryon. Seems like a pop up serving the workers in the building. As small as this cafe was, they make a damn good matcha latte. Needed a little extra boost and the 12 ounce dirty latte was fantastic with 2 shots. Perfect. read more

Gotcha Matcha is a coffee spot like no other! It's located in the Coterie Concept in South End. Which is a super adorable wine shop in the evenings. But during the day Gotcha Matcha operates in this space and I highly recommend this place for great coffee, pasties, service and vibes! I went during the week and ordered the ube cinnamon roll and the ube cookie. They warmed the roll up for me to eat there and it was absolutely amazing! I showed my boyfriend pics later and he was so made I didn't save him any lol. I also ordered a latte that was so delicious! Everything was extremely flavorful and really different from other coffee shops over experienced. This is also a unique and cool place to work if you go during the week. It's quiet and so nicely decorated inside. The service was on point and the food and drinks were amazing. Cannot wait to go back and try more of their offerings! Especially the pandan cinnamon roll. read more

Great service and delicious matcha. I'm a new matcha drinker (like just started last week lol) and when I stopped in I asked a million questions about what exactly matcha is and what I should expect. The owner was so patient with me and gave me all the facts. He also talked about how why he started his business and how he plans to travel to perfect his matcha knowledge. It was a short interaction but it produced good conversation and a delicious drink. I'm excited for the new location to open soon and can't wait to check it out. read more

Revisiting a personal fave in their new location in Uptown. The space is a bit smaller than the previous location but the service and drinks are still excellent. Today I tried a hot Chai Latte with Oatmilk. The flavor from the chai was so robust with that slight cinnamon/ginger kick. It was especially delicious on a cool fall afternoon. Per usual, the staff was super friendly and happy to recommend drinks based off customer preference. I'll add the location is a suite sized space located within an office building. There's a few tables within the space but there's also a lobby full of chairs and benches for additional seating options. I'll definitely stop by again! read more

This was my first time having Matcha. Because I enjoy green tea, I really liked it. The owner of this establishment is SO knowledgeable about ALL the products.

Enjoy the pics and videos and you will too! I'll definitely come back again. It was quiet in the shop since this is also a combined work space. Parking may be tight but patrons come and go often.
