The kamo latte was interesting; it was a mix of matcha and espresso together. Maybe not for me because I found the flavors to clash with each other, but maybe next time I'll get something that's either only matcha or only espresso-based lol. I liked that the matcha was hand-whisked to order. Very nice. It's a small shop, run by a sweet lady. They have drinks, some pastries, and snacks (rice crackers) for sale. Also kakigori! We also had a matcha tiramisu and it was delicious. Very creamy with light cake/ladyfingers. read more

Japanese Shaved Ice in Pleasanton!! After returning from Okinawa, Japan, last month, I have been hunting for Japanese Shaved Ice (Kakigori); I found it!! I have tried various Hawai'i-style shaved ice, but this is leaps and bounds better. Check them out. (closed on Mondays). read more

I tried their green tea latte with espresso shot. And it was pretty good. Not overly sweet and a rich matcha flavor. I tried their egg sandwich they had near the counter. It tastes like my mom made. I would get it next time again. One improvement would be their interior decor and seatings... it does give some cozy vibes but feels a bit like a hole in the wall. I'd come here for coffee to go again! read more

kamurocho is just as good as i remember it being 3 years ago! the honeycomb latte isd very unique - the method of making the honeycomb ive only ever encountered here. i love the texture which to me looks like peanut brittle but has a texture closer to astronaut ice cream. it slowly dissipates into the drink if you dont drink it and the latte is very temperate and not too sweet on the palate. the roasted matcha rice latte tasted strongly of roasted matcha and was extremely tasty :) the inside was as ever very cozy with lots of memorabilia and paintings from various cartoons and the person running the place was very kind and easy to order from read more

Cute little spot. Quiet. The lady was very soft spoken and friendly. I got a Hojicha Latte. It was very sweet and delicious. I'll come back for another drink. read more

I'm officially addicted to this place and probably come by too often. My go to: 1) if I want a lot of caffeine: Kamo Latte 2) if I want something with not as much caffeine: Roasted Matcha Rice (Medium is $5.75) I love both of them because of the rich intense matcha flavor. This is the only authentic Japanese shop that will hand whisk your matcha with a bamboo whisk. Family owned, and always the same kind lady who is there working the store. The flavors are unique, and if you like matcha, this is a great place. I don't stray away from the matcha, but that is a personal preference. read more

Peach classic tea - 4/5 Very delicious refreshing drink. A little too sweet for my taste, but letting the ice thaw diluted the tea and made it less sweet. Mango shave ice - 5/5 The ice is shaved just right. The mango flavoring is very good. Actually tastes close to mango. The plus to this dessert is there are chunks of fresh mango fruit in the syrup (see pic). An excellent refreshing choice. If the person isn't at the front, ring the bell for service. The lady who was solo, will prepare your dessert order relatively fast. The ambiance is simple, nothing fancy. Down to earth. I recommend coming here for a refreshing dessert. read more

The cutest independent bare-bones coffee shop run by the sweetest Japanese lady. We love visiting frequently because the friendly service and unique drink offerings can't be beat. Each drink is handmade with care by the shop owner herself, so patience may be required when there's a line of people. All of the high-quality ingredients are prepared in-house, from the sugar syrup to the strawberry jam. Our favorites: + Einspanner (Viennese coffee with whipped cream)- Like a tiramisu in liquid form, this indulgent coffee drink is good both hot and iced. It has a thick layer of sweetened whipped cream floating on top of strong espresso and near the bottom of the cup, you get a surprise hint of cocoa. I always ask for less sugar. If you love a strong coffee but want to feel special, this is a must-try. + Roasted rice matcha latte- So surprised to see that the matcha is freshly whipped with a bamboo whisk in front of you. The strong roasted rice flavor really comes through and is well-balanced with the slight bitterness of the matcha. When substituted with oat milk, this drink really hits the spot. +Matcha strawberry latte- Pretty to look at and tasty, this is the iconic summer drink. Made with homemade strawberry jam, freshly whisked high-quality matcha, and an oat milk substitution, this is better than the version found at Boba Guys. +Honeycomb latte- A one-of-a-kind drink that has bits of homemade honey toffee that give a crunchy, nutty flavor to the latte. +Kakigori (Japanese shaved ice)- the perfect refreshing dessert on a blistery summer day. The mango or the hojicha shaved ice has been our favorites. It's big enough for 2 people to share. read more

A hidden gem in Dublin! Wow I can't believe I just found out about this place! This place is matcha heaven! There's a lot of different and unique matcha drinks on the menu. My boyfriend ordered the roasted rice matcha latte and I got the kamo latte. The cup size here is smaller than typical cafe so we got the drinks in medium. Kamo latte This is the perfect morning pick me up! I could taste the espresso and the matcha distinctively and the flavors didn't over power each other. There was a hint of sweetness. Roasted rice matcha latte The roasted rice matcha flavor was very aromatic. It was sweet and creamy. We got our drinks to-go but there was a few tables inside. There was no line when we ordered and we waited for about 5 min for our drinks. read more

Zero stars. My experience was honestly terrible. The owner's tone and demeanor were surprisingly unfriendly from the moment I walked in. What made it worse is I noticed she spoke to other customers much more warmly, so I couldn't help but feel singled out. On top of that, the service was slow. My order actually came out after the person who ordered after me, which was frustrating and didn't help the overall impression. As for the food--it was just... meh. Nothing special, and definitely not worth putting up with that kind of attitude (or the wait). This was my first visit, and it will absolutely be my last. read more

As a matcha connoisseur... this is not good matcha. Although they hand whisk this drink, whatever powder is being used is definitely not ceremonial grade. I got the roasted matcha rice latte and you can still taste the grains of whatever rice ingredient is being used. Another L for matcha in the tri valley smh. read more

Pleasanton does not have a lot of great milk tea options but kamurocho is different in which they specialize in authentic Japanese tea lattes as well as shaved ice. The shop is small, quite bland on interior design however, the quality is fantastic. The menu features a range of teas and lattes to choose from. Their hojicha latte is fabulous- creamy, just slightly sweet with a strong roasted tea flavor. Its perfect for a chilly morning. Prices are pretty standard for most tea places. The drinks are about $5-$6 each. The cup/packaging is plain and simple, not over the top which you can tell they really just care about the quality of the drink itself. If you are a tea lover and you like it just slightly sweet, check this place out. read more

Stopped by one of the few places open during Christmas. It's a mom and pop shop and it has seating inside. Strawberry matcha - the matcha was decent but the strawberry was very watery. It's not super sweet. Hong Kong milk tea - a solid HK milk tea. It's not too sweet. Mango latte - more of mango milk with small chunks of mango. It's not super sweet. Strawberry latte - because their strawberry marmalade was watery but tasted like there was a lot of added sugar. I wish it had a stronger strawberry taste instead of just sweetness. read more

The mango shaved snow was delicious! The best shaved snow I've had in a long time. We came at night and the place itself is kinda cold and had no music so the vibes are...interesting...but the shaved snow was 10/10. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving some authentic Japanese shaved snow! read more

I read about the honey latte and just had to stop by to try it, even though I'm really not a coffee drinker. I ordered it iced and added boba. I forgot to inquire about alternative milks and made no customizations to my order. Yes, this drink is sweet, but not so much that I didn't keep drinking it up. I thought it was delicious. The honey bits proved to be a mild danger as I sucked up honey bits with my boba and a honey flake got stuck in my throat. The boba texture was mostly super soft, overbooked maybe? I don't know, but I kinda liked how they sorta melted in my mouth with little chewing effort. That said, some of them (maybe 5) were undercooked and hard on the center. The flavor was good, sweet. I would come back for the latte but maybe not so much the boba. And I'd go with less sugar if possible. read more

I've always enjoyed every visit to Kamurocho over the years. This small local cafe serves amazing Kakigori (Japanese shaved ice) and a large menu of beverages from delicious fruit teas to a wide variety of espressos drinks and matcha. I usually order a fruit tea, often the strawberry one as it beats out all of the boba shops I frequent as well. The tea is made with fresh strawberries and is just the right amount of sweetness. The owner has often made a few special drinks and desserts for us, including various panna cotta and tiramisu and a lime flavored tea. The service is always friendly and the prices are quite affordable, especially for the quality. I highly recommend visiting here, especially for their shaved ice and fruit teas on a nice sunny day. read more

This is a super cute little mom and pop coffee shop. O came in for a hot coffee, but I see they have plenty of speciality drinks and shaved ice. Some of their speciality drinks like honeycomb latte probably taste better iced in order to preserve the crunchy bits of the honeycomb. I ordered the hot hojicha latte which was very good! read more

This place is a hole in the wall place for matcha. I didn't try their shave ice but I wish I did! Their matcha and hojicha lattes were so amazing and the lady there was so sweet. Will definitely be back if we're in the area read more

This is such an East Bay hidden gem! There aren't many dessert places like this around here. The location is a little bit hard to find, but I promise it's worth it! There's some drinkand kakigori (Japanese shave ice) options on the menu. I ordered the Mango Kakigori, which was so delicious. The shave ice has an icy yet creamy milk flavor that perfectly refreshes you. The mango syrup on top had a great mango flavor that wasn't too sweet. It was a great balance together. The portion was enough to feed either 1 or 2 people! I definitely want to come back and try their drinks and other kakigori flavors. read more

Strawberry Matcha Latte Overall: 4/5 Matcha taste: 3/5 Strawberry taste: 5/5 Cost: $7.50 When I arrived at the store there were a few people waiting on their orders already. The owner works very quickly though and takes orders while making drinks. It's kind of a small place, if you know you know type of shop. This is my second time getting this drink after a few years since I last went. I'd prefer if there was more matcha since the flavor gets lost with the strawberry. The matcha isn't super strong, a little muted. I don't think it's ceremonial since the color isn't a deep green. On the other side, the strawberry is very fresh and sweet! All in all, it's refreshing and sweet, I'd get it again. read more

Kamurocho - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Shaved Ice Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I came by on a rainy day since I was already in the area, and their unique drinks were the ones that really caught my eye. There was no one inside, so I was able to order immediately. There are quite a few options for different types of coffee + matcha drinks, but I ended up deciding on the Kamo latte. It came out beautifully presented, with the layers of matcha, milk, and coffee quite distinct. Once I mixed them together though, everything blended together nicely. The initial flavor was matcha, but the more I drank it the more I tasted the coffee flavor. I was actually quite surprised by how well the two balanced each other, and I definitely wasn't only tasting one thing. It was certainly a unique experience and I really enjoyed it. Service here was really friendly as well! It also seems like a good place to catch up with someone, or to just sit down and chill for a bit. read more

Such a cute shop. I have come a few times for the honey latte. It's delicious! High quality and robust coffee. I want to try other menu items, the dirty horchata and Spanish latter seem interesting. The service is always kind here from the owner, looks like mom and son maybe. read more

Finally got to try out Kamurocho after having it bookmarked for so long! It's in a small plaza but there's plenty of parking. The shop itself was also small with just a handful of tables. It looks like people mostly go for takeout so it didn't seem like the type of place that would get too crowded. I went for the honeycomb latte. It was a perfect balance of honey and coffee in that you could taste each distinct flavor and the best part - it wasn't too sweet. I also ordered a ham & cheese croissant, warmed up. It was a delicious pair to the coffee and was reasonably priced as well at only $3.50. The staff was super friendly and patient. It was only one woman running the show when I was there and she took care of everyone with ease. Will definitely be back to try out their other lattes when I'm in the area! read more

Came here with my husband, dad and 2 young adult sons for a Father's Day treat. We all loved the shave ice! They have 4 flavors (matcha, tiramisu, mango and kinako); I ordered one of each for us to share. They were each super yummy in their own unique way. My father especially loved the mango and tiramisu. It was such a special treat, snd the women working there were so nice. Can't wait to go back! read more

Beef patty is like a flat empanada, with a flaky crust and seasoned beef. The shaved ice is a nice light flaky dessert with the flavoring you choose. Can be very messy. Mango had mango syrup and little mango chunks. The Kinako is dusted by a powder made of toasted soy bean and has little rice/mochi balls in the middle. It tastes kinda like Butterfingers. Come for delicious cold desserts. read more

Don't let the little store front and mom/pop shop turn you away, it's by far one of the best hojicha lattes I've had. They whisk it the traditional way, and you can ask for alternative milk if you'd like non dairy! If you have plans of going to the outlets, you can stop by here for a little pick me up ! read more

I wanted a drink without caffeine and the Iced Flora Latte appears to be an unique option that I don't commonly see on drink menus. It tasted like a slightly sweeten chrysanthemum tea with milk. It's a refreshing flavor worth trying. Iced Green Milk Tea was more sweet like condense milk, I wished it had a bit more tea fragrance, but overall it still tasted good. There's free parking within the plaza. read more
