    great place! I'm surprised it only had a 3.5/5 on yelp. OVERALL: this place has solid drinks, a pretty quick/responsive staff, and good ambiance (even if the inside is a bit small). it's not my matcha place in the pensinsula, but it's solid and def deserves higher than the current 3.5/5. my only critique is that I find it a bit strange that matcha mori tapes up all but one of their outlets. I understand the reasoning on the business end. however, I'm very much a believer in cafes as third-spaces. as a new cafe, I'd want to cultivate comfort/community so that people WANT to come back. but also, I get wanting to increase customer turnover so that you can pay your rent. ANYWAY, I got: - milky mochi isuzu matcha latte: 5/5 YUM! I was a bit apprehensive since most places put too much or too little mochi, but matcha mori had the perfect amount. and the mochi actually tasted like sweet rice which I really loved! I don't like my drinks too sweet so I got 30% sweet like I usually do, and honestly I wish I would've gotten 50% sweet. the matcha was strong with a very nutty flavor and a bit of a bitter aftertaste. not gritty at all. the milk top was SOOOOOO yum. CAN YOU STUDY HERE? 3.9/5 -- tbh yeah, they have one open outlet and a couple more outlets taped up, a restroom, comfortable seats, sizable tables, and it's not too loud. however, again ONE outlet and it's a bit small inside. if you come early with a charged laptop, for sure! I'd def come back.

    Came here for the matcha and milk rice, surprised by the Golden Citrus Ricotta gelato. Matcha: 3.8/5, very strong, great if you prefer the bitter grass profile Gelato: 3.5/5 texture, 5/5 golden citrus ricotta flavor Ambiance: 3.2/5 Instagram: TianTianEats

    $7.50 for two flavors of gelato in a cup: 5/5: pistachio: respectable. A little too sweet, but great strength and flavor. Tan colored. 4/5: Rice gelato; Very pleasant; subtle bits of rice for interest. No flavor added. A bit over-stabilized. Definitely worth trying once.

    Matcha Mori is a newly opened matcha spot in Mountain View and I had to check it out. I tried the crème brûlée matcha and the milky mochi matcha, and both were really yummy. I'm more impressed by the mochi drink, mochi has a very unique texture, kinda liquid style but still chewy. I left my drink on the refrigerator overnight, and the next morning mochi was still stretchy, not stiff at all!!!! And for the matcha, you can definitely tell that they use a high quality matcha. The shop has a very cute, minimal white aesthetic that makes it super cozy. There's also free wifi and a few seats inside if you want to stay and hang out. I went there on a busy day but the service was still quick and efficient, got my drinks after like 10 minutes. Overall, great matcha place in the area and I'd love to come back again.

    The Fresh Mango Matcha Latte caught my attention--it sounds so interesting! I also noticed they offer a matcha parfait. I've never tried a matcha parfait before, but it looks delicious. I'll have to give it a try one day!

    Decent matcha latte, that could be stronger in matcha flavor. I would prefer to be punched in the face with grassy flavor. Lots of ice in the cup though, so less bang for your buck.

    Really nice interior design and seating. I like the large menu and drinks seem good too. Good amount of parking as well. Would recommend!

    Fresh Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Came on a weekend right when they opened at 11:30. This place gets really busy right at the dot, which makes sense since they just opened recently two weeks ago (5/20/2026). The interior is nice, clean, and well lit. We got their strawberry and mango matcha lattes. Both were really good, not too sweet since they use fresh puree and chunks at the bottom instead of syrup.

    Regular ice cream (matcha 3 and fragrant rice milk)
    Anh L.

    After seeing the reviews, I was hoping the people were wrong, but they were right. This place has a lovely ambiance but the matcha was just not right. The place was very clean with lovely topiary on the walls. It looks crowded outside but people are really just waiting for their order. The service was very quick. I wanted to treat myself to ice cream. I tried the matcha 3 and fragrant rice milk. It could be a preference thing, but the fragrant rice milk was too strong for me. It tasted like paste and I did not like it at all. The matcha was not smooth. I would have preferred Izumi Matcha over this. Sadly, I will have to skip out on this one. Not the best out there.

    Gelato: Rice Milk + Strawberry Yogurt (Reg. $7.59), Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8.99), Mango Matcha Latte ($8.99)

    Yay aesthetics! =/ Matcha Mori has their aesthetics and vibes down solid. It's chic, boutique-y, and the layered matcha lattes are IG pretty. Sadly, how they taste is another story... Soft opening this week, Matcha Mori has the same concept as Matsu Matcha (Santa Clara) and Matcha Town (Cupertino/E San Jo) serving matcha lattes & housemade gelatos. Oat milk available for +$1. Staff will offer a free plushie in exchange for a 5 star review. D R I N K S Matcha is hand-whisked to order. * Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8.99) - Request 50% sweet * Mango Matcha Latte ($8.99) - Request 30% sweet Style over substance, the matcha latte was visually appealing with layers of chunky strawberry/mango purée, a foam top, and dried fruit garnish. But, beyond the aesthetics, it faceplanted....the matcha flavor was nonexistent, not even a hint of earthiness. Similar to the way that white dragon fruit tastes like...nothing. Super disappointing for the price point. G E L A T O * 1/2 Rice Milk, 1/2 Strawberry Yogurt (Regular-$7.59) The rice milk gelato had the proper dense, stretchy consistency and legit tasted like rice milk...mild, clean flavor with a subtle sweetness. The strawberry yogurt was ice cream-like in texture, ran more sweet than tart. S E R V I C E Contactless ordering via kiosk. With no line, our order took about 10 minutes. A M B I A N C E Modern chic with five tables inside, two outside, and EDM covers bumping. Overall, loved the playlist and shaded outdoor seating. Given the influx of matcha shops opening in the bay, I hope Matcha Mori ups their game.

    The drinks here are pretty good. I usually come during off peak times and there hasn't really been too much of a wait and parking was plentiful. Easy ordering through the kiosk/tablet. It's a small place but there are a few spots inside for dining in or just hanging out. Although pretty good, the drinks are a bit pricey even for the area. Convenient and delicious for a drop in now and then!

    Strawberry Matcha + Double Matcha
    Bre C.

    We have a new matcha spot in town! Matcha Mori definitely did NOT disappoint us during our first visit today! This is another one of those matcha/boba shops where you typically don't interact with the baristas and place your order on a kiosk. Then your order number will show on the screen once it's ready and you pick it up at the counter. The vibe inside is very cute! I love the cutesy cafe aesthetic they have going on. Now onto the drinks!! Strawberry Matcha Latte - 8.5/10 - I usually don't like creamy tops with my strawberry matcha, but this place makes me want to have it more often! The cream top reminded me of strawberry milk, and the matcha is strong!!! I was low-key cracked out for the rest of the day lol. Double Matcha Latte - 8/10 - My partner got this drink. She really liked the cream as well, and the matcha was strong and not too sweet - just how she likes it. We will be coming back :)

    A new matcha spot is open! They have both matcha drinks and ice cream flavors. I tried the crème brûlée matcha. Drinks were quick to be made, although there was a line that formed.

The boba at Boba Bliss truly was a blissful experience! No stale boba pearls and had a nice sweet coating that didn't make my drink taste syrupy or gummy. I also liked the addition of actual crushed up strawberries for my drink! Some places blend the strawberries to a pulp, but I like that there were some sweet and tart pieces for me to chew as I drank my drink! It was fairly busy on a Friday afternoon, but servers worked pretty quick to get drinks out to all. There was a nice long table for customers to sit, along with tables beside the glass window

My family and I stopped by Marvel Cake during Mother's Day for a sweet treat on Sunday. This location is in the strip of Downtown Palo Alto and has limited parking (similar to the rest of the stores there, there is a lot of parking, and you will need to get lucky). My mom does like the Marvel Cake in their first location, so we swung by here to try this one out! Location-wise, this is a smaller shop than the original one in West San Jose with limited seating inside. I would say it's not work from home friendly however, I did see a college student next to me on her laptop so maybe I am incorrect here! The interior is nice and light, matching the elegance of the desserts. We ordered three items on the menu: the pillow cake, the bisou, and the blueberry lavender roll. Here are some thoughts: * Pillowcase cake: It may seem like this would be a fluffy cake due to the nature of its shape, but it is a gelatinous Jell-O cake with fruit jam. It was not bad, and tasted refreshing and light. I didn't know if I liked it at first, but ultimately I did come back for seconds and thirds, so this is approved. * Blueberry lavender roll cake: This was not at all what we were expecting. I did not taste any lavender, nor did it have a strong blueberry flavor. I think what threw our party off was the layer of gelatin that surrounded the cake. Texturally, we were not a big fan. * Bisou: This one was our favorite one. I appreciated the nutty crust in the bottom layer of the cake, while the filling was soft and bouncy. It is very sweet, however, but overall, I really enjoyed this one and feel like it would go great with a cup of coffee. What made the experience here a 3 instead of a 4 or 5 was the service we got. We weren't greeted when we came in, which, to be fair, is totally fine, maybe they were busy. However, the person helping us stared at us the whole time and did not really communicate well with us. When I tried to order the cakes for my family, they looked bothered that we were there, and I was not sure if they understood what pastries I was ordering because they did not repeat it back to us at all or confirm anything. When I did place the order, they slowly grabbed the plates and looked visually confused, which again, if they wanted to, I could have repeated it back to them. After they gathered everything, they put it in front of us and rang me up. The whole time, they did not say a word to me at all. Did not reconfirm anything, did not acknowledge we were there, did not say thank you. It was a bit strange, and I had to check with my family if it was me or if that was a really weird experience (it wasn't me).

They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.
