    Creme Brulee Matcha Hurricane and a Matcha black sesame ice cream swirl
    Audrey M.

    I've been here a couple more times since it first opened a few years ago in which I didn't have the best experience. I would say it has improved a lot since then. I'm not a huge matcha fiend, but I did like the ice cream matcha and sesame swirl as well as the crème brûlée matcha drink/dessert. The wait wasn't long for a Saturday an hour before noon, but that can quickly change because a huge line formed a few minutes after ordering. Unfortunately they only have one digital kiosk and the lines can get long. You can also go to the front to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is no seating inside, but there are some tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came around 6 pm on a weekday and it was pretty quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered quickly on the self serve kiosk and drink came out quickly too. Not able to adjust the sweetness for the creme brulee matcha so it got kinda sweet. The matcha was creamy and heavy but pretty matcha forward. It's more of a dessert drink so it's kinda a lot lol.

    Creme Brûlée Matcha ($8.75)

    I've seen all the hype for the Creme brûlée matcha and finally came to SJ to try it! Wasn't too busy on a weekday around 6PM. Ordered via the tablet and it was ready quickly. Wasn't able to adjust the sweetness, so some sips were a bit sweet from the creme brûlée but some sips were more bitter and matcha-forward. Decent size for the price. I'm not sure if it quite lives up to my expectations (OMOMO has a similar drink which I enjoy) but it's a good, strong and creamy drink, more of a dessert matcha if you're in the mood for that!

    Classic Honey Matcha Tea ($7.50)

    Date: Friday, January 30th, 2026 What: Matcha Delivery Ordered Thru: DoorDash DoubleDash Time Placed: around 4:45pm Arrived: about an hour later Neighborhood Delivered to: Evergreen *Classic Honey Matcha Tea ($7.50) *Service Fee ($1.99) I was ordering dinner and decided to add a matcha to it. (I was too lazy to make one at home myself.) I'm a purist so I adore just straight matcha. That wasn't an option here, so I decided to try the honey one. I figured they are known for matcha and I don't mind a tiny bit of sweetness, so this should be fine. I was wrong. The honey was very overwhelming for me. So much so, it took away from what I love about matcha - the delicate grassy notes, slight bitterness, etc. I ended up adding another scoop or two of matcha I had at home to cut into the sweetness. I think the matcha itself was probably fine, though the honey was too much for me. REVIEW #3974

    We went on Friday at 4 pm and it wasn't busy at all so we got our drinks pretty fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store was almost empty at this point. The store looked kind of dead and did not have a lot of tables + seatings except the long bench.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's plenty of parking spaces since it's in a plaza. We got 2 of the creme brulee matcha swirl due to the hype of this drink. The cream was extremely thick and just for my preference, it was too much. The matcha was not as strong to balance the sweetness and decadency of the cream. We ended up letting it melt a bit so we can drink the matcha without having to eat chunks of the cream. If you like your matcha thick, then I recommend this drink! It was just not up my alley unfortunately.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very spacious but only has benches on the side. There's no inside tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You just order from the kiosks and they call your number. You can taste the quality of the matcha at this place, which is very nice and hard to find. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gets pretty busy and in a busy location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Izumi Matcha has been a top option for matcha over the past year. While Izumi was popular over the summer of 2025, recently Izumi has been much emptier. The service is great, and they make your drinks very fast. The taste is very consistent, and they do have a large menu with lots of different items other than matcha. My only downside is the variety of matcha over the recent year. From last year and this year, the menu for matcha has not changed much, and it seems like I get the same taste every time I go. While the first time was enjoyable, after it just gets repetitive. I love Izumi, but I really wish there was a rotation between drinks.

    SO SO SO good. My mom and I think about this drink so often. There were chunks of creme brulee which we really liked! It was a good mix of matcha and creaminess / richness. We got the drink pretty fast but it also wasn't too busy!

    we got the crème brûlée swirl matcha and the strawberry uzu matcha! for me, the crème brûlée matcha is definitely an acquired taste and i personally did not like it but i know my mom enjoyed it. the strawberry uzu matcha is really refreshing, there's no milk in it. izumi matcha is one of the few places where you can get matcha without dairy so def recommend if you prefer that

    I came here on a Saturday afternoon, and the line was to right about the door. It moved pretty quickly, about less than 10 minutes to the kiosk. I love that you can get an extra matcha shot for free here! It took about another 10 minutes for them to finish my drink. Definitely not a bad wait, as I've had to wait for a total of an hour at their peak popularity before. Their strawberry matcha latte is decently good. The matcha is a bit astringent with a bitter note, but the strawberry complimented the flavors well. I honestly wouldn't say this is the best matcha quality I've had. The star here is really their crème brûlée matcha hurricane though--I loved how the matcha slush blended with the creamy crème brûlée! Perfect amount of sweetness as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think they've removed some of the tables inside since I've lasted been here. It's more of a pick up and go location, instead of sit-down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking can be a pain sometimes in that plaza, so what I like to do is park in the adjacent lot and walk over.

    This was my very first time at this location. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were greeted by this homeless dude near the front of the place. We felt extremely safe knowing that there was a private security (homeless dude), an amenity that other Izumi Matcha locations don't provide.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got my usual, the hibiscus yuzu and the matcha creme brûlée. It was super good! Refreshing for the herbal drink and smooth and not too overly sweet for the matcha drink. Parking sucks so keep that in mind though.

    Uniqueness: Authentic matcha drinks served here with great quality & not long lines some times! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Drink Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? Matcha Creme Brûlée is must for the sugar lovers, anything matcha is obviously a great choice here. Coming here several times during peak hours and off hours, Izumi Matcha is a great alternative location to go to vs. their other location in Cupertino when it comes to getting some great quality matcha drinks here. They should have all that they offer compared to their Cupertino location and their creme brûlée matcha swirl is a fan favorite here (definitely recommend it for first timers and those who like their drinks on the sweeter side). I've had their honey matcha and hojicha drinks here before too and you can tell the matcha they use is fresh due to the slight bitterness you sometimes get. Lines can be long at time but if you come at off hours, I've seen instances where it was literally 2 people inside & no wait time at all. Staff are friendly and never had any issue with anyone inside making the drinks relatively quick. I'll recommend Izumi Matcha as one of the few drink spots in this packed plaza to choose from and definitely be back for more.

    You order your matcha from the kiosk. Service is pretty fast tbh. My go to drink is the matcha crème brûlée and I like it personally. However, I've noticed that the brûlée can seem a bit chunky when you're sipping the drink? I've gone to this location and the Cupertino and the Cupertino one is definitely slightly better hence the 4 stars. But you can't go wrong coming here if you don't want to drive to Cupertino for the drinks. It'll still be fine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I will say, the shop is pretty spacious compared to the Cupertino location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a bench and table for you to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In Cupertino, you'll mostly wait outside because of how crowded it can get.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, still good!

    Nostalgic flavors from my childhood in a gelato format? :)…read more I came to Marco Polo on a Friday evening and ordered two small cups for my partner and I. This is my third time at Marco Polo and it really hit the spot. The location is in Vietnam Town, on the far right side, next to Pho 90. When I went this time around, there was no lines but there were still people sitting in the store eating their desserts. Parking here can get tough because of the plaza itself so just a heads up to folks who do not frequent the area. What makes Marco Polo so special is their Asian gelato flavors that you cannot really get anywhere else (that to say a lot of places are now expanding their selections). This was the first spot where I could finally get my hands on durian gelato and it was absolutely delicious. The store itself has around 3 tables for you to sit in and is pretty bare boned. It is good for a grab and go but with the limited seating inside and outside you could spend some time here. Service is quick and you are able to try out some samples. This time around I ordered black sesame and Pandan, while my partner got mango and lychee. It was near close so they ran out of mangosteen unfortunately when I went. While the flavors were great, stood out, and were bold, I will say texturally it was a bit icey for my liking but that might have been because they started crystallizing from being out for a while. Overall, this is a small business I will continue to support!

The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and I really liked the decorations inside. It is a comfortable place to sit, chat, and hang out with friends. Our group ordered the avocado smoothie, soursop green tea, and durian soy pudding. The durian soy pudding had that distinct durian smell, but the soy pudding made the overall flavor a little bland. The ratio might have been slightly off. Two of my friends ordered the avocado smoothie and thought it was okay, but they wished it had a stronger avocado flavor. The appetizers were the highlight for me. The popcorn chicken was definitely the best item we tried, and the curly fries were also good.

On one side, you've got items like tartufo (chocolate, cappuccino, limoncello, pistachio), sorbets, and cheesecake slices in the display case. On the other side, they have traditional Vietnamese-style desserts like sweet soups (chè), grass jelly, black-eyed bean pudding, and combo desserts with things like cassava, jelly, and coconut. There's also a solid drink menu with milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and specialty coffees. I ordered the latte with matcha foam, and while I don't usually go for sweet drinks, this one was definitely on the sweeter side--but still really good. The matcha foam added a nice earthy balance to the coffee underneath. My friend got the three-color iced drink (the one with layered beans and jelly), and if you're into that texture and flavor profile, you'd probably enjoy it. The service stood out. The man helping us (possibly the owner) was very friendly, patient, and took the time to explain menu items, which I appreciated since some of the desserts aren't as familiar if you haven't had them before. The display case also looked well-stocked and clean, with everything neatly packaged and labeled, which made it easy to browse. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're in the area and want something a little different from the usual dessert shops. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars is because the concept feels slightly all over the place, but the quality, variety, and service definitely make it worth checking out.
