Came here mainly for the picture booth and was pleased with that aspect despite the long line (not the businesses fault)! The matcha itself was okay, definitely not worth $9. I got the strawberry matcha and just thought the flavor was pretty bland and not strong enough for the price. You can skip this one unless you want some beautiful pics! Service was very nice though. read more

The matcha horchata drink tasted like a watered down horchata. I could barely taste the matcha, and was very disappointed because I was excited to try a mix of my favorite drinks. The inside was really cute but not enough seating plus the tables were small. The girl who made my drink was really nice and even offered to remake it if I had any problems but I was already out the door by the time I tasted it. I appreciate her offer of that and I might take her up next time. I see the potential this place has but unfortunately I did not enjoy my experience. read more

Overpriced, unprofessional staff would never return and don't recommend it. Not sure what happened to this place

My daughter & I wanted matcha and she found Holy Matcha which was nearby and she was also happy to find that they had a vintage Photo Booth. The space is very cute and open. There's isn't much seating though. We were greeted by the nice guy who went over the menu and gave his recommendations. My daughter ordered the Strawberry Matcha and I got a seasonal drink the Pandan Matcha. I was surprised they only offered almond, oat & coconut milk which is probably why the drinks are so pricey. We usually get whole or 2%. The drinks tasted just okay. At least my daughter had fun taking pictures in the booth with her dog! read more

The matcha here is good. I had the Holiest of the holy matcha. The adaptogens are a nice addition and had me floating through my Saturday errands and beyond for the rest of the day. I just wish they didn't use hot water to mix the matcha it ruins the flavor slightly and brings out more bitterness. I use room temp water at home and have tried other places that use room temp as well and it makes for a much smoother flavor. It'd also be nice if the sizes were a bit bigger for the price, or there were at least other options. Overall not bad. read more

I love the vibe and decor in this shop! Super cute and great for photos. Huge plus that it's Latina Owned Though it is a little on the pricey side, it does include your choice of milk at no extra cost, unlike other places that upsell you this. This time around I tried the strawberry matcha. Nice sweetness to it. read more

Holy Matcha - Strawberry matcha - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Diego, California

Interior is cute, I love how they have a Photo Booth inside! Very pink very girly! Very clean inside, restroom is nice! The matcha was OK, I got mine half sweet and it was really sweet still.... The matcha latte itself is very watered down, can't really taste the matcha just sugar syrup.. and I disliked how they only offer plant based milk. I love their speciality matcha drinks, I think it offers great benefits but I was unsure of how it would all taste! Service was really good super friendly! The menus need to be bigger, not just on a 8.5x11" paper. read more

Ambience (5/5): This was the cutest little matcha shop and I love their "vintage" style Photo Booth! They also have a little shop full of trinkets and other fun items that they sell which I was pleasantly surprised to see Service (5/5): All the baristas and cashiers were extremely kind and catered to your request. I liked how when they gave you your drinks, they would ask if we had any adjustments we wanted to be made, they would do it. Overall great staff Drinks (2/5): I ordered the banana matcha w/ coconut milk which cost about $8. Matcha quality was a bit grainy and the banana cream was clumpy and overpowering the matcha taste...very sweet. I did however ask for an adjustment which helped a little bit (they added more matcha milk) with the sweetness but it was overall still way too sweet. Food (4/5): I ordered a tomato avocado toast which was good but nothing mind blowing and quite expensive for what it was Parking: Took time to find parking for this place as this location has only street parking Overall review: Because this place advertises itself as a matcha cafe, I weigh more into the quality of the drink to which I was sadly not satisfied with (did not finish my drink). Maybe next time I'd ask for 20% sweetness read more

First time trying their Strawberry Matcha! I wish the matcha flavor was a bit stronger, but overall it was good! I got it with oat milk but I def recommend the coconut milk with the strawberry matcha!! The coconut milk does make it taste more like a summery drink and both combinations complement each other more. I think their lavender matcha (or adding lavender syrup to their matcha) makes for a tastier drink than the strawberry. But I'm so excited to try their other flavors. Every time I come here there's new ways to make a matcha drink taste better! I love the vibes here everyone's doing their own thing and the matcha servers are always so nice and have really good recs if you want to try something new! read more

I really enjoyed my matcha. I had the banana seasonal drink and it was really tasty! The only thing is it's really expensive for a small cup. But they have a cute little section of things to browse and buy while you wait and a photo booth! I'll definitely keep going back as a matcha lover. read more

I was instantly drawn to this cafe when I drove by so I had to try it! I drink a matcha latte daily so I was excited to try them out. I got the horchata matcha and it was pretty good, but I agree with other reviews that it was on the pricey side. I don't mind paying almost $10 for a matcha (includes tip), but this drink was very small and wasn't the most memorable matcha latte. I also noticed the barista poured a premade matcha from a pitcher, and I would expect a pricey drink to at least be made to order. Super cute interior with a lot of cute merch. The service is also very nice. I would like to mention that there was an intense cleaner smell when I walked in. I'm glad I tried the cafe, it did look like they had some other tasty options on their menu! read more

My fiancee was super excited to try Holy Matcha when we were in San Diego and absolutely loved it, but this isn't about her experience, it's about mine so let's get into it. I can't not mention just how cool this place looks off the get go. The walls here are bright, the neon "you, me, matcha" sign is cool and photogenic, and the place just feels nice to be inside of, it has great vibes. The menu here obviously focuses tea and lattes but since I don't consume either of those, I ended up ordering the Blue Spirulina lemonade since it was blue, so obviously it's going to taste blue (this is a joke). How was this drink? It was fine, just fine and it's honestly the only word I can use to describe this drink. Don't get me wrong here, the drink wasn't bad at all but it just tasted like a pretty standard lemonade and the flavour was fine, but not something I will reorder in the future. Overall, Holy Matcha has a lot going for it in terms of having a really cool looking building, a friendly and quick staff, and a great location to go with it. The menu definitely caters to the matcha crowd (as it should since that's literally what it is) and is definitely a great place to stop if thats what you want, so hey, give this place a chance for yourself and see how the matcha is. read more

Holy Matcha - Blue Spirulina - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Diego, California

Very nice friendly and accommodating staff. Bathroom is nice and clean. The interior is very pretty, pink, and sweet. Got the Heavenly which was very nice and "green"-tasting (which is how I personally prefer my matcha. I would have preferred for it to not have been so mixed up to make for prettier pictures. It came to me already blue-green and mixed. The lavender matcha is not too sweet. The lavender syrup really enhances the taste of the matcha. Only thing is the price is pretty insane. Get ready to spend at least $20 for two cups of matcha. I do appreciate the drinks come cold but without ice so that you do get a full cup of drink. read more

My spouse had just started enjoying matcha so I decided to introduce them to Holy matcha; with their simple varieties of mixes. I've only been here a handful of times because parking can be a struggle but it's never been as busy as I (or TikTok/Instagram) expected. Matcha variety 4 out of 5- I personally like simple options. There's only 1 size, it's so small maybe about 12oz for $9. I have had other ceremonial matcha about 16oz for $9; our two ceremonial matcha at Holy Matcha totaled $20. Baristas messed up the order 2x because they wouldn't stop talking to each other behind the bar and it took quite some time before our own drinks were finished. Overall it's worth a try if you've never had matcha before but if you know what you want & like go elsewhere it's just fine. read more

I cannot stress enough how much I love, love, loved the vibes here! Everything from the decorations and seating to signage and cutlery was so pink and girly. I felt like I was in Barbie land. It was so girl core!! The abundance of plants also added to this pink-green theme they had going on, which was so perfect because they specialize in strawberry matcha lattes. The ambiance was immaculate and truly one of the best decorated cafes I've ever been to. So perfect for photos, I couldn't resist snapping pictures of the interior, food, drinks, and friends. I also liked that they offer diary free options for their lattes! In fact, they don't even have regular milk. Usually, places charge you extra for lactose free, but this is the default option here. But maybe this is reflected in the price; I paid almost $9 for a latte, which I still cannot believe (that's more than boba!). Although it's rather pricey, I suppose you're paying for the ambiance and non-dairy milk. The small donut was also $4, so it's definitely a splurge to go here. The presentation of everything was so cute! I loved the little orange flower they added to the drinks, and the plate the donut was served on was pink too! The staff were also very kind and checked up on us regularly. My friend and I did homework here, and it was such a good study atmosphere. They have free wifi, outlets, and a bathroom. We were never rushed or anything. I have to admit that it was a little difficult to find parking around this area, though it's definitely possible to eventually find street parking. Overall, I loved Holy Matcha and the unique experience it offers, though it is definitely on the pricey side! read more

We went here March 10th for my sisters birthday morning activity. We have been here before but it's remodeled and it looks amazing. The place is super clean, spacious, cute, aesthetic and has a vintage photobooth. Their Matcha is amazing! The best one in the San Diego. I ordered the strawberry matcha and it was to die for: super rich in flavor! We also ordered a few bread balls which were very delicious and tasty. They sell a bunch of things, their merchandise is adorable. Customer service was fantastic super friendly, polite and helpful. read more

I honestly wasn't super impressed.. First let me say that the ambiance is adorable! It was be a great place to get a matcha with friends or do some work because it's so cute and peaceful. I got the glow matcha and the rose matcha and I wasn't impressed with either, first the sizing of the matcha I think is around only 5-6oz if even that.. $7-9 dollars for a very small drink it's a little pricey. Neither of the drinks had a super strong flavor of matcha or the added in items they both just tasted super milky. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. read more

Just unbelievable shop! I have never been to matcha only shop before, and Holy Matcha blew me away. Nicely decorated with lovely interior, fabulous service and fantastic product.

It must be called Holy Matcha because the matcha is only there in spirit. Incredibly overpriced for the 12 ounces you receive. The quality and quantity of the matcha leaves much to be desired. Depending on the drink, you might only taste milk or the added flavoring - not the matcha. I would not recommend, specially if you're familiar with the matcha scene in LA. The spirulina ceremonial matcha did not have a great matcha flavor and the horchata one was so sweetened that it was basically just green horchata. Very disappointing. Update: we actually went back with our mostly undrunk drinks and the staff incorporated our feedback and replaced our drinks. Reading the other reviews, though, does make you think about the quality consistency. read more

WORST MATCHA EVER I got the strawberry Matcha and it literally was sour and it had chunks in it. My friend got the peach matcha and it was a little better but you can't even taste the matcha it's absolutely terrible WASTE OF MONEY read more

Holy Matcha holds a special place in my heart. My cousin, who I was very close to, loved coming here when she was alive and lived in SD. My other cousin and I got to check it out. We can see why she loved this place so much. The employees are so friendly and welcoming. They answer any and all questions you might have. The matcha is amazing! Strong flavor. The drinks aren't sweet either, but they can make it a little sweet upon request. They have food as well. We got to try panna cotta specially made by the owner. It was delicious!! (You can find this in the refrigerator near the entrance) The ambiance is refreshing and makes the perfect spot to get work done or have a matcha date with a friend or loved one. We couldn't leave without getting souvenirs. Holy Matcha has dope af merch. From crew necks to shirts, even stickers and pop sockets for your phone. My cousin and I left with shirts and a tote bag. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place! :) read more

Holy Matcha is a cute, aesthetic cafe for matcha drinks! It is located in North Park with limited street parking and paid lots nearby. The cafe is pink in its exterior and interior with a photobooth. I came today before noon and it was very crowded with a lot of customers but unfortunately only 2 staff members. It led to many customers waiting for their orders with few staff, leading to around an over 30 minute wait. I ordered a ceremonial matcha latte with oat milk, and I thought it was well-made and tasty as the matcha was pretty strong. It was not too sweet either, as I ordered less sweet. The staff members I interacted with were friendly and helpful, but it was just too understaffed. Unfortunately, the drink was almost $10 which I don't think is worth it, coupled with the wait time. read more

Cute little matcha cafe with a vintage photo booth! We got the Pandan matcha and pancake matcha drinks. For the pandan matcha, I got it with zero sugar and I was still able to taste the nutty flavor which is great! I get to enjoy the flavor without tasting sweeteners or syrups (I usually prefer less sweetened drinks)! We saw people studying there but there weren't many tables/seats so just be prepared at peak hours. Service was friendly :) Our server explained patiently to us the different flavors available. read more

Holy Matcha - highly recommended this place It's one of the best matcha places i've been too!!!!! - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Diego, California

I took my sisters here to start our North Park excursion. It was a Tuesday afternoon so no line or crowd. My oldest sister loves adaptogens and really appreciated their range, she ended up getting one of those. My other sister does not like matcha at all but decided to try the sweetened strawberry matcha. She really enjoyed it! Pricing wise it's typical 5-7 for a good matcha latte, and they're beautiful presented. Our barista reminded us to let them know if we needed any adjustments, so they're very accommodating. I ordered the Heavenly, which is just matcha plus blue spirulina because I love blue colored things. It was delicious and delightful to look at! It's a nice matcha treat when you're in the area! read more

Holy Matcha - Heavenly - Tea Rooms Near Me - San Diego, California

Stumbled onto this matcha place during my boyfriend and I's visit to San Diego and it was alright. Drink: 3/10. I opted for the Strawberry Matcha Latte, but finding out that they use a culinary blend as their default base, I asked if I can substitute it for a ceremonial shot instead and they said they can do it for an additional $2. I had no problem paying for it, but my problem was that the matcha/milk ratio was just alright. I've been drinking matcha (worked at a matcha shop as well) for years, but this one wasn't outstanding or special. Service: 10/10! The ladies working were incredible and very kind. They answered all of our questions with great attitude and depth. Ambiance: 10/10. Absolutely aesthetically pleasing interior. Everything inside was beautiful and caught my eye! We even bought some merch that was inside as everything was so cute. Overall, if the drink wasn't as pricey/had just a little more matcha to it, I would definitely come back. read more

Very cutesy, girly, and aesthetic spot to sip some matcha drinks. This place is always poppin' probably because of the IG advertising, as that is how I stumbled upon this place. Obviously they have a menu centered around their own ceremonial grade matcha. The matcha itself is good but not better than the average one you can get online and just make yourself at home. Drinks are actually quite pricey ranging from $8-10 for just one size that is probably no more than 12 oz. I ordered the strawberry matcha drink with less sugar and light ice. Honestly, probably should have gotten more sugar since it did taste a bit weird without much sugar. They did have a good amount of milk alternatives including oat milk without extra charge (I think?). They do have a cute little photo booth in the corner but you gotta stand in a line that takes at least 10-15 min maybe even more during busy times. Overall, cool place to check out or take your friends for aesthetic purposes, but not somewhere I would technically frequent for quality drinks. read more

Pretty average iced matcha. I got the strawberry matcha which was fun a different - lightly sweetened which I enjoyed as well! Super girly vibe inside. When I ordered there were 6 women inside and 3 women workers. Love the female empowerment! But they definitely have a target audience. While the matcha was fine... not worth $8 for 8oz in my opinion! read more

Came in and was not greeted upon entry. While waiting for my matcha, I overheard two employees openly complaining about their job and customers in a way that was completely unprofessional and inappropriate for a work environment--especially if you're getting paid to do your job?? It made the entire experience uncomfortable and honestly disappointing. My drink was fine, but that does not make up for the lack of basic professionalism and respect for customers. I won't be returning. read more

Super pretty inside and the sweetest workers. Their menu also has a lot of alluring and diverse options! However, the price point was a bit much in my opinion considering the size and the content of the drink. I got a 12oz strawberry rose matcha for around $9 (after tax) but you can't really taste the matcha in my opinion. Almost just tastes like strawberry milk. They have super good nondairy options though and the service was very fast! read more

(+) Strawberry Matcha Latte (+) Ceremonial Holy Matcha is a café that serves all things matcha. Matcha is a powdered tea that has plenty of benefits for your body. For example, it is packed with antioxidants. There are lots of different and unique drinks on the menu. The café is quite trendy and all the walls are painted pink. Instagrammable pictures of your cute drink and background are encouraged. Drinks: What I liked about the ceremonial matcha was the subtleness of the tea. I've had other matcha drinks and usually I can taste the tea leaves, which isn't a bad thing, but the ceremonial matcha you can taste the quality. The strawberry matcha latte was also delicious. The strawberry puree and matcha tea were the perfect ratio. Service/Ambiance: There are plenty of tables to sit at. It's a perfect date place to sit down and chat. Order your drinks at the counter, and pick them up when your name is called. Overall, I would recommend Holy matcha. I'm an avid matcha person, and their drinks were some of the best matcha I've ever had. I'll definitely be back when I visit San Diego again! read more

I really wanted to love this place because it's all about matcha. The environment and aesthetics were amazing. The staff were friendly and provided a lot of information about the drinks. We tried the strawberry matcha and the chai matcha. The strawberry matcha was a bit too sour for my taste, even after adding agave. However, the chai matcha was delicious. I did feel that the prices were a bit high for the cup sizes, though. read more

Mad that I haven't come here sooner tbh I quit coffee almost 2yr ago & would rely on the limited tea selections at regular cafes. It never dawned on me that there could be a matcha "cafe"/lounge... which is what I replaced my coffee consumption with. Anyways, I came here specifically looking for strawberry matcha & I will say this has a true strawberry flavor & none of the artificial kind. The flowers on top were the cutest surprise. I'm obsessed! Staff was really kind, helpful, & warm. I appreciated their service The merch here is ridiculously cute. Very on point! Makes me wanna buy way too much... kinda dangerous ngl Although I fully walked past this place because the outside was very unassuming (and I was across the street)... it was so darn pretty inside it kinda felt like a matcha speakeasy almost Their menu feels like it has just enough variety without trying too hard. I'm eyeing that horchata matcha for my return!! read more
