    Matcha vanilla
    Monica R.

    Stopped by Thursday night and it was the perfect dessert spot. I dusted it with match powder and got the almond jello at the bottom. The almond jello was delicious and had great flavor. The ice cream itself was creamy and not too sweet. It was a perfect balance of match and not at all bitter. We ordered on a tablet which was very convenient but the employee was really nice and brought our order out quickly.

    Ah yes, Junbi... just another tea shop... until that ceremonial-grade matcha hits your bloodstream and suddenly you've developed standards!!! You know you're not just getting a drink... you're entering a spiritual experience.... when someone pulls out a bamboo whisk like they're about to summon an ancient tea deity!!! The second that ceremonial-grade matcha hits the bowl and the whisk starts doing its tiny samurai workout, you realize this isn't Starbucks anymore... this is a full-on tea ritual!!! Once you've tasted the good stuff, regular matcha feels like it needs to apologize. I keep it classy with an unsweetened oat milk matcha latte (because we're refined now), and the girls there always come through with that fast, friendly service. Basically, I go for the matcha, but I stay because they never fumble the vibe!!

    Located right outside Haven City Market, it is a cozy little cafe offering extensive match selections. There is a kiosk to place order and I got my drink in a timely manner. I enjoyed my drink outside where plenty of seating is available. It was perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. Would be back to try their other drinks.

    Strawberry matcha

    Stopped by for cars and coffee, and was craving an early morning matcha. My friend said they heard really good things about this place, and im always willing to try new matcha places. I lady that was taking my order was very kind and was able to explain the menu and popular matches that people order. I tried the strawberry matcha, and surprisingly it tasted really good. For me personally, I'm always skeptical trying strawberry matcha places because people use a lot of syrup/puree and it was overwhelming at all. It was a perfect blend between the matcha and the strawberry. Honestly, it's really good and if I'm in the area again I will be trying the other matcha on the menu.

    Cute spot. Quality ingredients , amazing drinks! I mentioned to the girls in the front it was my first time , were so nice & helpful. All these seasonal drinks made it hard to pick but we got the Strawberry Cold Foam Matcha and the Blue Coconut Matcha Latte. Both were 10/10!

    This place had refreshing matcha that was not overly bitter nor overly sweet. I loved that their classic matcha didn't have milk so I wasn't overpowered by it like which can happen in most matcha latte cases. adding the strawberry flavor to the matcha reminded me of a nice summer drink! Service was quick and fast! Always a big fan of self ordering kiosks. I've been here served al times since my first time and i'm sure i'll continue to visit again!

    My friend and I decided to visit Junbi after a lunch at Haven. Junbi is a chain specialty drink store and chain. Service is good, the vibe is new and modern. The store itself is very small, there is no seating inside. We tried the Cold yuzu dragon fruit matcha cold brew. I like the layers and creativity use of ingredients to create the color, but the taste is just okay.

    I'm a fan of Junbi and their collabs and seasonal drinks, though there were times that they were hits and misses (at least at the other location). Though I'm happy that there's a dedicated matcha source in this neck of the 626 at the very least. You can order online for pick up via Toast Tab. Cafe itself is pretty small. Just order, do your photo op, maybe get some merch and that's it, but since right next to Haven City Market (or at least shares the outside part), there's plenty of seating nearby. Just an FYI though, they're a cashless establishment. I got their Madagascar Vanilla Matcha Cold brew, which is just their matcha with vanilla. No milk included. I got this at 30% sweet since I know that vanilla is sweet enough on its own. Even drinking this before my less ice started melting, it was pretty watered down. I got less sweet and less ice so I can taste more of the matcha, but I guess with so many other matcha places popping up, maybe my standards for matcha have increased greatly since going to their last location, or even their days back as Sip. Overall, slight watery matcha with the sweetness of the vanilla. I didn't get to try any of my friend's hojicha latte, so I can't comment on that. Maybe it was an off day since I know Junbi is much more of a solid matcha place.

    First time stopping in and trying out Junbi here. There were BT21 collaboration drinks along with some various merchandise such as stickers and cups for sale. I decided to try the BT21 Galaxy Blended drink. It was made of fresh vanilla cream, black sesame, and purple sweet potato. The young lady working was very nice. I think she was the only person working at the time I went. There wasn't any seating inside, but there's plenty of seating outside since it's part of Haven City Market. The drink itself was okay. I was expecting the sesame paste and purple potato to be blended together, but it was only the purple potato blended, and black sesame paste layered in between. I probably won't order this drink again but will try out the other collaboration drinks next time.

    Strawberry Matcha with Oat Milk

    I finally got to try Junbi on my trip to California, and it was at the top of my must-try list since we don't have one in Georgia. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly balanced, creamy, and refreshing. The flavor was so smooth with just the right amount of sweetness, and the matcha quality really stood out. On top of that, I've always loved Miffy, so seeing their special collaboration made the whole experience even more fun and exciting. It felt like the perfect treat that I'd been waiting for. Junbi definitely lived up to the hype, and I'll be looking forward to my next visit whenever I'm back in California!

    Love that there's a slightly closer location to me! I love going to junbi and ordering their cold brew matcha drinks with fruity flavors. I should honestly "prepare daringly" and order something else next time but I can never get out of my comfort zone of the delicious cold brews! This is a little walk in shop where you just order, grab your drink and go. And possibly have a mini photo op with their cute wall. I ordered the mango matcha cold brew without a splash of milk. Regular milk would be no charge and I believe oat/almond splash would be like 0.75. I was never asked that actually at other locations so now I'm wondering if they're usually made with a splash of milk already or only upon request? Nonetheless, I still enjoyed my drink. Matcha-y and fruity! My bf ordered the strawberry refresher only because he's not a matcha fan and wasn't in the mood for coffee at that moment. He said the refresher was alright and honestly just tasted like strawberry and water. It wasn't too exciting or different to him. The girl at the front was very sweet. The couple ordering in front of us took a fairly long time pondering the menu and asking a bunch of questions and the girl was patient and answered/explained everything to them. I was about to get impatient behind them though because what was supposed to be a less than 5 min visit turned into 10 min lol. Luckily there's merch around and I was just perusing what was next to me. We had a chance to go during their grand opening day and it was BOGO free drinks! Can't wait to come back and try other drinks on the menu!

    Yuzu Dragon Fruit Refreshr & Hot Hojicha Latte w/ Matcha Shot
    Tracy K.

    This spot is located in the same plaza as West Covina Haven City. I came here because I wanted to try their matcha. I am allergic to dairy so I asked the barista if their matcha powder has milk powder in it. She did not check but said that the matcha powder are the high grade Japanese ones. As I was looking through the menu, I was happy to see that they had Hojicha latte and they can add a matcha shot to it! Another plus is that they don't charge for milk substitutes! I ordered from the menu Iced Hojicha Latte with a Matcha Shot (milk, hojicha (roasted green tea), & ceremonial matcha) with oat milk for $8.25. Easy on the sweetness level. It was really good. My girlfriend had the Yuzu Dragon Fruit Refresher. She liked her drink. Other menu items are refreshers, tea, coffee, ice cream. Looks like they no longer serve rice balls. Add ons to your drinks you can order with an extra fee: boba, jelly, chia seeds, espresso, matcha shots, and lychee. It's pretty generous for some of the ice cream you get a free topping. No cash payments. Seating in the bench areas. Drinks came pretty quick. Would be back again if I am craving Hojicha!

    I came to Junbi with my family during their soft opening. The place is located next to Haven City Market. The shop is small but the decor is pleasing. They have different varieties of drinks including; matcha latte, matcha cold brew, Hojicha (roasted green tea), classic drinks, non-caffeinated drinks, and special menu of sakura Lychee. We chose Mango matcha latte. The drink was excellent! Their matcha had subtle sweetness and creamy texture. It was well balanced with fresh tropical sweet mango pieces. The drink was really refreshing and unique. The barista was very nice. The service was fast. I am so excited to go back and try othere drinks, especially their sakura Lychee drinks.

    How sweet is the red bean paste? Is it sweeter than the ice cream, and can I do sugar adjustments on the red bean paste?

    Our red bean is on the mildly sweet side, unfortunately it has been discontinued as a topping.

Interior / Atmosphere The shop itself looks bright, clean, and inviting. It has big shop signs, sofas, and a few cute spots where you can take pictures.

They answered my questions with helpful information and made the experience feel welcoming. Drinks I ordered the Guanyin milk tea, which was recommended to me after I mentioned that I prefer a stronger tea flavor.

Overall Overall, I had a good experience here. I would personally rate this place around a 4.3 to 4.7, but because the staff were so interactive and welcoming with customers, I would give them a 5.

Each time, the employee would only get part of the order before the call dropped. On the second call, we were in the middle of confirming the order when it hung up again. On the third call, she apologized and said the line was cutting out. When I tried to confirm my order one last time, she seemed rushed but said everything was correct before we hung up. My order was shrimp tempura, mozzarella sticks with no seasoning, two large mango teas, and one large black tea. When we got home, I noticed the shrimp tempura had no dipping sauce, and instead of mozzarella sticks, we were given potstickers. I called the store immediately and was told I needed to return the potstickers to receive the mozzarella sticks. I explained that I was no longer in the area and asked what could be done. I was then told to save the potstickers and bring them back the next time I came in so they could give me the mozzarella sticks. Since I don't like potstickers, I ended up throwing them away. I feel the situation could have been handled much better by management. Should have learned my lesson 10yrs ago when the same thing happened here.
