    We tried the yuzu dragonfruit slush, yuzu dragonfruit jasmine tea, strawberry blended, matcha blended and the hojicha latte. dragonfruit slush and hojicha latte - 10/10, the slush was very refreshing and a good dragonfruit taste; while the hojicha latte was strong and had a good roasted tea flavor. strawberry blended, matcha blended, and yuzu dragonfruit jasmine tea - 6/10, strawberry blended was just average; matcha blended tasted more like vanilla and lacked the matcha taste; yuzu dragonfruit jasmine tea was very watered down (the taste of it wasn't too bad though). The inside was very cute and had a very clean look. They had two kiosk on the side if you want to order on your own or you can order with someone helping you. We ordered thru kiosk, so not too much interaction with staff. Drinks did come out fast though! Overall, decent place for drinks.

    The last time I visited was around when they first opened. I came back today and love that their current menu has kid-friendly options with no caffeine. The yuzu dragon fruit matcha cold brew was refreshing. Noted that they don't use stamp cards and they don't carry the spam rice balls at this location. Service was quick and friendly. Looking forward to coming back.

    Came on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't too busy. It was cute and decorated inside with a chic modern vibe. Employees were helpful in providing recommendations. The menu is extensive. I tried the salted caramel banana matcha latte with coconut milk. It was good! The banana wasn't too sweet and the matcha wasn't too overpowering. It was a good balance. I also had the salmon rice ball, which was fresh but ok. It tasted more like tuna. I'd come back to try other flavors.

    2nd time in while visiting the outlet. I had the passion fruit refresher this time around and lacking flavor for me. Matcha on the other hand was ok.

    I was hanging out with my good friend and we wanted something to drink after our lunch date at Malatown. Upon scouring reviews, Junbi came recommended! I was immediately drawn to the guava matcha, as that is definitely a flavor that I've never had before, and I was very intrigued. It turned out to be the perfect refreshing choice on a warm March afternoon. The staff were friendly, and you can either order on the kiosks or with a staff member. We chose to order via the kiosks. Our drinks were made in what seemed like seconds. However, they were still extremely good quality and the guava puree was delicious. The matcha was excellent, and very smooth. I asked for light ice and they delivered. I did not get a chance to try my friend's drink but she said it was her new favorite tea shop, and that she would be back. I will also be back for sure, since I'm in the area relatively often. Junbi has a ton of unique drinks even for those who aren't matcha lovers, so you are bound to find a drink for your palate.

    This is a cool spot to try a match and they have multiple options for add-ons and inclusions. The staff was extremely friendly and patient and I really enjoyed the guava matcha half sweetens with light ice and oat milk! They have a rewards program but it is email based so you will need to enter it in the system once you complete your purchase. I also grabbed a strawberry matcha with inclusion and add-ons and it too was a refreshing treat to bring to a friend!

    Stopped at this strip mall to charge our EV and we're very happy to find Junbi Matcha & Tea. We got their black tea with oat milk and their yuzu green tea. They customize the drinks to your sugar and ice preference. However, they did recommend a little ice in my drink which I generally don't prefer. All in all, a solid stop to get your tea fix!

    Matcha store across the SF premium outlets by the Tesla chargers. Chain restaurant but the matcha didn't hit at this location. Currently with BT21 collab. Ordered via kiosk. Some seatings inside. They have a restroom. I got the BT21 galaxy matcha with black sesame and ube. Strong ube and black sesame flavor. Not much matcha flavor with those combinations. On the sweeter side from the ube. The sea salt caramel banana match was much more balanced and was tasty. Has a nice banana and Carmel flavor.

    Happy one year anniversary, Junbi! We stopped in on their one year anniversary to enjoy the banana sea salt series, and the usual favorite - strawberry matcha latte. And, I can never leave without the delicious salmon rice balls whenever that yummy food is available. Prior to that, I've been loving the BT21 drinks. As always, service was fast and super friendly.

    Delicious matcha! Went in on a late Saturday afternoon and there were a decent amount of people there. It was relatively easy to find parking in their parking lot. There are 2 self-serve kiosks on the side and also a person that will happily take your order. We got a strawberry matcha and a chrysanthemum tea. The total came out to be $14.25 which I think is on the more expensive side. We got everything regular iced and regular sugar and no toppings. Strawberry Matcha (8/10): I can taste the earthiness of the matcha and the strawberry puree(?) adds a nice tartness when it's all combined. I think this was a nice balance and it wasn't too sweet which I personally enjoy. Chrysanthemum Tea (8/10): This was really enjoyable. You can taste the actual tea and it wasn't doused in sugar.

    Guava matcha latte
    Surge C.

    Tried Junbi for the first time and thought it was decent. I do appreciate them doing a double shot of matcha with their guava matcha latte, which helped the matcha flavor come out a bit more. If you like sweet, fruit-forward matcha mixes, this is a good spot. I probably would only come here if I had a dessert craving.

    Last minute Christmas shopping means a matcha or boba stop for me hehe. We were headed to the Livermore outlets and saw there was a junbi across the street so we decided to check it out. It's super cute inside, we were greeted right away by the friendly staff, and there was no wait. I was really excited to try the matcha latte with oatmilk but i was pretty disappointed. You could barely taste the matcha. It tasted like a slightly sweet oatmilk with a hint of matcha. I've heard good things about their matcha so I may come back again to give it another shot! Maybe it was just an off day! I did get the little matcha tin to bring home to make my own, and that was really good. Didn't taste too grassy or bitter-- it was pretty smooth.

    I got the guava matcha latte, and I really enjoyed it! The workers here are very friendly. There is parking in a plaza, and it's directly across the street from the outlets. Their seasonal drink options sound good as well. I would come back again!

So they could definitely can do a better job of decorating the interior to really look like a cafe instead of a vacant room. We tried their matcha roasted rice latte and Hojicha latte, both sweetened. The hojicha latte was AMAZING! 10/10, no notes. It reminded us of the hojicha we had in Japan. The matcha roasted rice was unfortunately way, way too sweet to tolerate and little matcha flavor and green color. I would be open to ordering this again with extra matcha and little to no sweetener. This would be a 5 star review if the ambiance was nicer and matcha wasn't so weak and sweet. I would definitely be interested in coming back and giving Kamurocho's matcha another try and exploring their other drinks.

Service was fast - we ordered through the kiosk and the drink came just a couple of minutes after. When we went, the ambiance was quiet. It was later at night so they didn't have any other customers at the time.
