    This spot definitely reminds me of Japan! We got the matcha latte with matcha soft serve and hojicha latte with Hokkaido milk soft serve. They were both amazing. The matcha is very umami, smooth and is the perfect shade of green. The hojicha latte has a nice roasted tea flavor and is so milky with the soft serve. Both delicious! It is located at the Culver City Step, which has a convenient parking structure right under and plenty of outdoor seating.

    My favorite matcha cafe I've had so far! Got a few different items to try such as the matcha brown sugar boba, Hokkaido milk soft serve, matcha gelato, and a regular matcha matte. All so creamy, delicious, not too sweet (just how we like it haha)

    One of my favorite matcha ice cream spot and they also have nice outdoor seating for people watch. Inside was decorated well and clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I ordered a matcha ice cream and matcha latte. Ice cream was soft and tasty, not very sweet at all. Matcha latte was ok. I have to pick one, I would just get the ice cream. Highly recommended.

    Located at Culver Steps in a prime location to enjoy the beautiful sunny weather. Food 3/5 Matcha soft serve - Slow eater + hot day = do not get the waffle cone. Hilariously, it was seeping through the tiny, tiny holes of the cone. Strong matcha flavor, 10/10. Matcha cheese tart - I did not enjoy the combination of these two flavors. On two separate occasions we've tried the hojicha and matcha but they are overdosed in sugar - not for us. Service 4/5 Standard, nothing special. Ambiance 3/5 Tables were dirty and their outdoor chairs are uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time. The line for the business is also awkward but nothing that can be controlled due to the layout of the cafe.

    Pleasantly surprised by the matcha soft serve! Definitely get this over the gelato. If you've had Tea Master's soft serve, the flavor of the matcha soft serve is similar, but it melts faster here. Good portion size for splitting between 2-3 people after dinner. Service was good as well! No line around 8 PM on Monday evening and the workers were very quick to put orders out and happy to answer questions. Ambience - casual, all seats were occupied at 8 PM. Overall, very glad to have another good dessert option that's open til 10 PM in Culver City.

    I needed a place to do work a little later on a weekend afternoon and Maruwu seicha did the trick! I really enjoyed the matcha for its strong matcha taste and chunks of tofu BUT I wish I got a different drink since this one felt more like a dessert. Nothing wrong with the flavor though! Service was pretty quick and kind!! There's ample seating indoors and outdoors. :)

    Matcha Americano & matcha Matcha Latte Snow Top

    Matcha spot at culver city steps Went on a friday evening & it was super packed For parking if the steps parking lot is full i'd recommend parking at the trader joes lot across the street There was a line but it went by relatively fast!! there was a cashier & also an ordering kiosk / ipad at the front. I was very impressed with how quick the staff was with orders even on a friday, i didn't wait long at all. my drink came out fast despite the rush they were experiencing. the matcha americano was light & tasty. it's not sweet though, just FYI. i did like it !! the matcha latte with snow top was nice & creamy. i think it's a great addition to the matcha scene specifically in culver city, but overall in LA? it's alright. i definitely think ktown has better matcha options if you're willing to venture out further.

    Quick service. chose the most popular drink the soy matcha. Note: the foam was made of dairy. I was debating to get matcha with ube but was told they use paste for ube. I prefer the ube jam. I chose 1 of each of the egg tarts. Soo Good! I'd come back for the egg tart! Parking is close by.

    The matcha soft serve here is absolute top tier--creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. I got the Uji matcha swirl, and it completely hit the spot. The vibe inside is clean and modern, making it a great little pit stop for dessert. However, a quick heads-up on the parking situation if you're using the nearby structure: Maruwu Seicha does not provide parking validations. A helpful pro-tip if you're trying to save a few bucks--Salt & Straw is right across the patio and does validate for free. Might be worth popping over there first or splitting your dessert stops accordingly if you're parking in the structure!

    5/6/2026 Second time here at Maruwu Seicha. HOJICHA LATTE + SNOW TOP Got it 100% sweetness, medium-size. Hokkaido whole milk. Last time I ordered the matcha latte with 50% sweetness and it did not taste good. Happy I got it with 100% sweetness and it was not overly sweet! Really enjoyed it! Full hojicha flavor with the creamy snow top which enhanced and complemented the hojicha flavor. The snow top by itself has a light cream cheese flavor, but mixed in with the hojicha, you can only taste the creaminess of the snow top. This was delicious! Recommend for hojicha lovers! HOKKAIDO MILK + MATCHA SWIRL on waffle cone. Creamy, luxurious mouthfeel! This was delightful from beginning to end! The hokkaido milk was super creamy with that sweetness in the milk. The matcha had just the right amount of sweet and vegetal matcha flavor that complemented the hokkaido milk ice cream. This was so good! However, my one regret is getting this on a waffle cone, as I was already full and the waffle cone was slowly getting soggy, as I took my time in eating this. The waffle cone was delicious though with a vanilla waffle flavor with a crispy texture that wasn't too thick or thin. This is a must-try! I came here to get the hojicha baumkuchen and matcha financiers, which was advertised in their stores. But they haven't had any for awhile now. They've said they do not get them in often. Wish they would take down the advertisements if they no longer sell them in stores. Came in after 1:00pm on a weekday. The lines do form here, but even my second time here, it was not out the door. Lines move, but not super fast. You might need a smidgen of patience and even more to wait for your order. SELF-ORDER KIOSK AVAILABLE There is a self-order kiosk right next to the register, so you can order there as well if the person in front is taking too long to order. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was good. No attitude and everyone did their job. INDOOR + OUTDOOR SEATS AVAILABLE Indoor tables and seats are always packed and the tables are close together (which is annoying), but there are outdoor long wooden tables and benches as well. There are other outdoor seats around Culver Steps, so there's no issue with seats. Maruwu Seicha is quickly becoming my favorite matcha / hojicha drink + gelato place! Definitely returning!

    Matcha Pistachio Latte  Gelato (No 3 and Hokkaido milk)
    Isabel S.

    Stopped by for a quick pick me up and service was quick! Easy to find parking and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We got the split gelato: No. 3 matcha and Hokkaido milk. Both were good but I prefer the matcha one. Color of the matcha gelato is very vibrant but it was actually sweeter than I expected- was hoping for a stronger, original matcha flavor...the Hokkaido milk one wasn't bad but I personally think Indigo Cow's is better. Also ordered the pistachio matcha latte but was unfortunately not my fav, the pistachio flavor was too overpowering; I couldn't taste the matcha even after only getting half sweet (which was the default sweetness on the self order menu). Felt like I was just drinking pistachio milk lol. Would not order again.

    I've always seen it so packed and couldn't wait to try! The matcha was sooo good I didn't need to fix or tweak anything! Love the option of indoor and outdoor seating and service was great!

    The quality of their matcha lives up to their hype. Just from a sip I knew it was super high quality. It's very strong. I have gone here a few times. They have a number of seating options inside and outside. I'm not sure if the wifi works here yet but it's a comfortable place to do work at and surely lock in for a few hours. They have a number of options too varying from matcha or hojicha with snowtop (cream tops), added soft serve, gelato and cheese tarts. Every drink I have tried so far has been 9/10 - 10/10. I know people complain about the price point but for LA and the quality you are getting this is worth it

    Yummy tea, made very quickly.

    Never been to Chagee Tea House before but I'd love to come back! They have delicious iced teas and…read morematcha drinks that were much needed refreshments on a hot day. My peach oolong matcha latte (with regular sweetness and ice) was very good without being too sweet or mild. The peach, oolong, and matcha flavors all came through despite being an iced latte. I see why the line was almost out the door on a Saturday afternoon! I think they only have one register, so the line moved a bit slowly, but it was worth it. Customer service wasn't stellar but they weren't rude, and they obviously had a full house of orders to take and drinks to make. Love that they had physical menus available at the beginning of the line so you can decide what you want ahead of time to make the ordering process smoother. I can't speak much to the atmosphere because we were really in and out once we got our drinks (the line wasn't just long, all the tables were packed!), but as the name suggests, it's a lovely modern tea house with a significant amount of seating inside and outside.

It does have some caffeine, so keep that in mind if you're planning to enjoy it later in the evening. Grab this drink and stroll around the mall, it is so refreshing, and you'll enjoy it on a hot summer day. Lines do tend to get busy, so I recommend placing an order on the mobile app. It may take 10-20 minutes for your order to be ready (on a busy day), but at least you can walk around the mall until your drinks are ready. There's tables and chairs inside and outside the location if you prefer to sit down to enjoy your beverage.

They are located upstairs but they had a popup stand downstairs near the big TV screen. I got their popular Hokey Pokey flavor which is a vanilla soft serve with toffee blended into it on topped on top. You can get their soft serve dairy or for a little more non dairy. I got it in their waffle cone which was pretty large. The toffee bits on top were good and melts in your mouth. It went well with the toffee blended ice cream. My only complaint was it was too sweet and on the melted side. I had to eat it quickly and it was runny and messy. They made my cone pretty quickly and I didn't have to wait long. Besides their most popular Hokey Pokey flavor their second most popular is their strawberry and cream one that comes with strawberry bits and whipped cream. But they have many other flavors including seasonal ones. They usually have about 10 different creations. I want to come back and try their hazelnut one.

Chamberlain Coffee is a stand-alone tiny shop/kiosk that is modern and sleek and only big enough for a few people to stand inside to order. There are no seating inside but tons located outside since the food court is close by. I am probably the worse at giving you a full review because I looked up and IMMEDIATELY zoned in on the banana latte. I am in my banana latte era!

I can taste the banana syrup, tasting homemade, and the coffee is strong enough shine through. It is not diluted with milk or masked with sugar. This is a well made coffee. The large, with tax, is going to cost $10. This drink edged up to be one of the best banana latte I have had as of yet so $10 for the large is worth it.
