    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!

    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!

    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

    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.

    This coffee shop is hidden but it is A GEM! Loved how cozy it was and how delicious this was- my barista was amazing

    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. Such a creative combo and quite unique also. Friendly. Indoor seating. Casual. Please come and create your own adventure.

    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.

    Chill Vibes. Great Music. And Polite Staff. Come and try it out. I ordered the Blueberry Matcha 20oz. Up next is the Pina Colada!

    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.

    If you're looking for authentic matcha, this is the place. The quality and flavor is well worth a visit to uptown. So good!!!

    Yerba matte was great  Matcha was delicious

    Very fast service. Great knowledge and recommendation. It is inside of an office building so you would have to look for it specifically but great drinks!

    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.

I read through some of the other reviews and I want to set the record straight. Yes, it's inside a church but there is a separate entrance. Yes, there are Christian books but also other genres. Yes, the coffee is very affordable BECAUSE all the staff are volunteers. No one is getting paid and they LOVE what they do. All smiles and great service. The proceeds go to local and global missions of the church. Win, win all the way around. The place itself is very spacious. Two levels. The seating areas are comfortable and far enough apart you can have some semiprivacy if you need it. My friend who brought me says she comes here all the time to study (she's in college). All of the staff knew her by name. (love places like that) I'm not a coffee drinker so I can't really speak to the coffee (although my friend says it's pretty good). I am a tea drinker though and they have a variety of flavors, some refresher juice drinks, a few pastries. Please support. Every now and again if you're thinking of getting coffee or a pastry, choose them. Why not? Do some good for the community through others who are committed to giving back.
