The texture of mochi was not chewy as I expected. It's look like the regular muffin for me. The drinks were ok. The most I enjoyed is crossintt egg and bacon. read more

Oh these were so delicious mochi bites. Both my favorites were the ube and matcha flavor. I just had these and both my sister and I enjoyed them. The size is great too, it's small and good to eat with tea or coffee to pair. Thank you for the delicious treats! read more

Mmmm-matcha strawberry mochi bites are amazinggg. The soft, yummy mochi bites just warm you up with happy goodness and almost taste as if it's melting exquisitely in your mouth. The texture and flavor are so good! I haven't gotten the chance to try anything else from this cafe, but the mochi bites alone are worth trying this place. The service was decent. Nothing that really stood out, but nothing bad. The cafe is in an isolated and quiet area, so it's easy to miss unless you're looking for it. The parking is a row in a one-way, easy enough to park. I'll 100% be back to this place!! read more

When I discovered there was a matcha Cafe located in the peninsula I knew I wanted to check it out. I was quite hyped for it cause who doesn't like the idea of a cafe specialising in mainly matcha. I finally made my way here a few days ago and I could say all this time I wasn't missing out on much. Coming from SF we called ahead of time and asked if the staff can reserve two matcha brownies. The staff was really friendly and accomondating and held on to our order until we arrived. We got there around 2 a he before they close and they had decent selection of pastries available. So we got total order of strawberry and mango lattes, matcha brownies, strawberry cupcake, and I think almond matcha crossiant. All in all the pastries were fresh but they definitely did not taste like matcha. The drinks had a subtle matcha taste but not that string bitter Uji matcha taste. I came here expecting really strong matcha flavored offerings but left disappointed. I think it's entirely the fault of the matcha they source from. If they used let's say Uji Matcha in their pastries and drinks it def would be a real .atcha cafe. read more

This place was super small but I love their interior design! Gives a very coffee shop vibe. They are located right below a building with multiple offices so people occasionally do work in their cafe. Good thing they have free WiFi! Just ask the cashier for the password! I tried one of their top drinks, the strawberry matcha latte, especially because I'm such a fan of the boba guys' one, but I really liked how la matcha cafe's strawberry matcha isn't as sweet even without sugar adjustments! I haven't had the chance to try any of the other drinks but am looking forward to trying their Thai tea since it's also one of their top drinks! Parking is only 2 hours though but there is plenty of it! read more

La Matcha Cafe - Strawberry matcha latte x2 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

My family and I were in the area while my dad got his treatments done at UCSF and I was surprised by how good this little cafe was. It's located in a business like building and it's very small and adorable. They only allow 2 people at a time in the cafe since it's so small. Okay ordered some sandwiches, boba drinks, and some macaroons. The food was really really good and their service was wonderful. Definitely a good spot for some good comfort food! read more

Really like this place. Had a few issues the first few times I came because I'd come in the afternoon around 2-2:15 and they'd be closed. Found out that they are a very small family owned place so sometimes they have to go pickup their kids. Can't blame them for that. Anyways I've had the ginger matcha latte, strawberry matcha latte, Thai tea and the matcha muffin and mochi blueberry bites. All have been good. Also just realized they have the fresh milk with brown sugar boba! Got one for coworker will report back what she says. Anyways support local small biz. Especially friendly ones! read more

Clean, inexpensive lovely spot. Look carefully or you will miss it. Ordered a simple iced matcha latte with almond milk. Yum! The menu looked amazing and affordable and the aroma from the back made me qish I was hungry! read more

We wanted something substantial after our bike ride at Sawyer Camp trail. This place had great reviews on Yelp and it was also on our way back home. I ordered 3 sandwiches: BLTA, Turkey with pesto, and ultimate club and 2 boba drinks: Thai ice, and matcha brown sugar. All fresh veggies and no skimping on fillers. 2 lovely ladies behind the counter. All very cute setup inside a medical building. read more

I went with my sister and tried the mango matcha latte and the strawberry matcha latte. She also got bacon/sausage tulip egg cup. Both of us preferred the mango matcha latte over the strawberry, and it's not as common to see a mango matcha drink! If you spend at least $10, and check in on yelp, you also get a free thai tea. We did that but they forgot about the tea. We decided to not remind them as we didn't really care for it in the first place. The employees were very nice, and it seems like they have a lot a of regulars. The interior was very clean. It's a small space and they decorated it well. They also offer free wifi, so we were able to get a decent amount of work done there. read more

Some of the best matcha and boba we have ever had. We had Thai Tea and Mango Matcha. For food we had a breakfast croissant and pulled pork sandwich. Can't wait to come back. Looking to hire them for baked goods for our baby shower!!! read more

I get their iced coffee drinks/macchiato/white mocha. All are delicious. And their croissant breakfast sandwiches are very good. Haven't tried their salads but they look delicious too. read more

What a hidden gem! This cafe is located on the bottom floor of a medical building. There's parking in the front and back of the building. The cafe itself is cozy and welcoming. We've visited a few times and even ordered macarons for a party. These are honestly my favorite macarons! They are big, tasty, and have the perfect chewy consistency. Some of my favorite flavors are almond, strawberry matcha and cookie n cream. The banana muffins and sandwiches are also super yummy. read more

Tried this little cafe during my lunch break while I was working from home. The people are very friendly and the drinks we had were good. I tried the ginger matcha latte iced with oat milk, black sugar fresh milk with oat milk, and the thai iced tea with oat milk. All were very good! I have never seen a ginger matcha latte so I was excited to try something new. My only complaint is that the boba seemed a little overcooked, but I appreciated that it was cooked fresh (it was warm!!). I would come back again!! read more

La Matcha Cafe - Thai iced tea, black sugar fresh milk, ginger matcha latte. All with oat milk!! Very good! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlingame, California

A great local find. You must try the matcha strawberry latte and their assortment of macarons! (Location: In a business center, 2 hr parking lines the street) I love matcha and strawberry, and would never have thought the two could be married well together in a boba drink. But it absolutely works. My favorite macaron flavors were the matcha strawberry, the Oreo, and the passion fruit. The treats were decently sized. The two workers (I believe they were the owners) were friendly and genuine. They told me everything (except the bagels) were made in-house. The menu was ample with boba drinks, pastries, breakfast foods and much more! Definitely going back to try more! read more

I've always wanted to try La Matcha Cafe but couldn't make it during their limited hours before (when I was working in the South Bay). However, cut to this whole shelter-in-place madness/debacle, I needed to get out of the house to get groceries. I also had a huge matcha latte craving! The owner, Vicky, was super accommodating when I called ahead to place a pick up order: thai iced tea, mango matcha latte (with real mango purée!), a vegetarian sandwich, and a matcha strawberry mochi muffin! Everything was so fresh and delicious!! Vicky hand bakes all of the pastries and items! Vicky is very sweet and friendly, and we talked about her shop and other small businesses affected by the Corona Virus. I can tell she deeply cares about her shop, her employees, and she takes a lot of pride in her drinks, desserts, and food. Her shop is really clean. She even wiped down the square credit card machine before I signed my name. I'll definitely go back to La Matcha Cafe and if you're craving amazing milk tea drinks and goodies, please support this adorable local cafe too! And be sure to tip well! Thank you, Vicky! read more

To be short and sweet : Very good matcha, fresh boba, yummy food & cute place. To give you the TEA : If you're looking for a calm, quiet, and aesthetically appealing place to sit down for lunch, this is definitely it. It's a great family-owned vibe that radiates from the home style decorated cafe. The matcha drinks are super good (and sort of addictive) and the boba tastes fresh! Everyone that works there is kind which really encourages you to order something. The Cobb salad does come with ranch instead of bleu cheese, but we all have our flaws! Lol The sandwiches however ... LOVE them. read more

Besides being tucked away in a giant office building, everything about La Matcha cafe is great! I've never had any issues finding parking (plenty of 2 hour parking available at the main street) and it's just a few steps away to their front door. I've been here several times. I've eaten in before (way before SIP) and bought a bunch of stuff to go. But my all time favorite thing to get here is their Strawberry Matcha Latte. I wouldn't call myself a Boba connoisseur but I do frequent several Boba shops regularly, and I have to say their strawberry matcha latte is better than Boba Guys *gasps* Yup I said it. And I'm just calling it like I taste it. Something about the homemade strawberry puree with the small bits of strawberry chunks, mixes so well with the matcha and milk. I HAVE to get this every time I come here. But the drink pairs well with pretty much anything else I order to eat. I've had their breakfast croissant; nothing fancy but hot, slightly flakey, and delicious. Their Cobb Salad with loads of chicken breast and bacon. Their mochi muffin bites; these are frickin delicious! I always have to order 2 since I just toss'em back like mints. And their macaroons!!! For the price you get a really decent size macaroon and it's perfectly chewy enough but also firm enough to balance out the filling. And you know how I know this is a quality place? They make recommendations on when to eat their food! For example, I get a few of their mochi bites and the owner says "eat it now while it's warm so the mochi doesn't harden". Yes Ma'am! Or "Make sure to stir the strawberry puree with your matcha, to combine the flavors". Yes chef! When people care about their food so much that they give you recs on how to eat and drink it, that's how you know you're getting a quality product. Come here to grab a quick bite or ask them to cater your events! read more

If you need a place to get a soft, fresh, and gooey matcha fix, this is the place. Their matcha bites (get it when it's warm) are so addicting that you'll be coming back for more. Need to grab a quick lunch or satisfy your boba cravings - they have hearty sandwiches and drinks too! Most importantly, the owners always serve us with a smile and will, at times, have us try some freebies. We'll definitely be back for more of this cafe's yummy treats! read more

A little small hole in the wall cafe. Came in around 2 pm on a Saturday afternoon and there was no line. It was very welcoming and the cashier was super nice and patient. We ordered the bagel sandwich, crossiant sandwich, matcha strawberry and the matcha smoothie. Let me tell you that this matcha strawberry is as good as boba guys in sf. The flavors were there. The matcha smoothie was smooth. Both of the food items were delicious and filling. Service was excellent, will be back next time for sure! read more

I normally do not write any reviews on Yelp. But feel obligated to do so regarding Mark M's posting. I was in the café when this happened. The truth of the matter is, he was still looking at the menu. The owner was by herself and had preorders ready to go. As she gave one of these orders to a customer he stomped out. If he would have waited a second she would have taken his order. Please do not let this bogus review deter your patronage. I definitely will not! P.S. Their Macaroons are marvelous!! read more

What a hidden gem! Tried the mango match latte and the chicken sandwich. The drink is very fruity (but a little bit sweet), the sandwich is crunchy outside but juicy inside! Loved both items! Also got a free macaron from the yelp checkin! It is huge compares to the ones from French bakery, and quite sweet per my taste. Will probably just stick with the drink and the sandwich sections for now :) read more

Tried this spot on a late Thursday morning and was pleasantly surprised. The breakfast sandwich was nicely sized (not teeny like most places) and the egg was so fluffy! They didn't skimp on cheese either with one slice on each side, yum. The blueberry mochi bite muffin had a good chew and wasn't overly sweet. Coffee was good too with no burned or bitter taste. Very quiet while I was there, with a few regulars coming in to pick up sandwiches and maybe one or two visiting patients (lots of medical offices in this building). Decor was simple and clean with ample seating. No complaints! Great little cafe to grab a quick bite. read more

Came in on Halloween for a Sausage, egg, & cheese croissant as well as an Iced matcha drink with boba. Both were delicious! The sandwich tasted very fresh with the soft moist croissant perfecting it. The Iced matcha drink had a nice frothy milk on top with just the right sweetness level for me. They also mentioned all the baked goods were made in house! Overall, good stuff and it's family owned by friendly people so come out and support them! I'm from SF where there are endless chains of cafes/boba shops nowadays so it's nice to come across a small family owned shop like this (not that I don't hope you guys make it there one day haha). Best of luck! P.S, the shop is hidden but it's there! It's inside a lobby of a larger building so don't get discouraged if you don't spot it right away. read more

Nobody loves a mochi muffin and iced matcha latte more than me and this place serves both! Thank you to the ladies who served me with a smile even though I showed up after closing time. The warm blueberry and strawberry mochi muffins were fabulous. And the iced matcha with strawberry purée was satisfying. I'd love to go back and checkout their sandwiches. Happy to support this local business any day! read more

Truly a hidden gem. Even though there are many food options in the area, La Matcha is one of my top faves. Also it's a plus that I can just walk there from my work. The menu is pretty simple but enough to please all crowds. My fave picks are the cobb salad, grilled chicken sandwich, iced vanilla latte with oat milk or black tea boba tea, and a mochi bite (probably not the correct name but that's what my mommy brain decided one). I still need to lose 10 lbs of my weight when I had my daughter (3 years ago) but I'm convinced the mochi bites are the reason why the pounds aren't dropping. If you're a mochi fan, you need to order at least 3. So. Freaking. Good. The ladies there are super friendly. If you have an doctor appointment in the area,treat yourself to yumminess and stop by here afterward! read more

Great, honest food and service. Loves the drinks and food. Mocha, Matcha Latte, Veggie Burger, Mochi Muffin all delicious

I love their black milk tea, mochi bites, and macarons! Always consistent with taste and quality.

I love their Strawberry Matcha Latte and will definitely be coming back! I also ordered the chicken parm sandwich and it was sooo tasty. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a treat in the area. read more

The ladies who work here are awesome! Super nice and told us about their upcoming seasonal packaging for holiday items. The cafe itself is super cute as well! The location was a little hard to find as it is located inside the medical center/pharmacy area. Now to talk about our goodies: the macaroni were great! They were a little cold (perhaps refrigerated) when we got them so they were a little crunchy, but we decided to let them get to room temperature and they were delicious! We got the strawberry matcha tea which was delicious and the jasmine milk tea which was also great and wasn't too sweet which is perfect for me! Overall awesome place! read more

I was craving some matcha tea and was able to order about 15 minutes before closing. I called in my order from my car after looking at the menu options from other yelpers, but the hostess also helped me narrow down my item since I wanted a cold drink for a hot day and what I asked for was better as a warm drink. I added a ube mochi muffin to the mix as well. Waited 10 minutes then walked into the cafe to do pick up. My order was ready and I used the credit card kiosk to pay. read more

Absolutely delicious! Everything is tasty and reasonably priced especially given the location. The owners are super nice & friendly as well. I've gone a few times now & each time I was not disappointed. My coworkers and I each got turkey pesto sandwiches & they were so large! We didn't think we'd be able to finish the whole sandwich but we managed as it was so good. The boba drinks and baked goods are just the right texture & level of sweetness for my palate. I would highly recommend the passion fruit mixed tea as it was so refreshing on a hot day. read more

Finally got to check this place out this past Saturday. Adorable, clean, and tastefully decorated cafe which serves baked goods, lunch, and tea/coffee drinks. We got the regular brownie, the dirty matcha latte with boba, and a jasmine milk tea with boba. We also tried a friend's almond croissant as well as a strawberry matcha tea with boba. Boba drinks and desserts were delish and service is extremely friendly. They also have a sandwich/lunch menu which I'm sure would be worth trying as well. Will definitely return!! It's a bit hard to see the storefront as there isn't any signage on the building itself. However just look for the standing board on the sidewalk, and know that it's right inside the office building (left hand side when you enter). Parking was easy and convenient right outside on Saturday afternoon. read more
