    I remember this business was previously a yogurt shop and now they serve both yogurt and matcha. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday around 1 PM. I liked that they have a kiosk to order from, the simple decor, and how clean it is. There were quite a lot of options, but I decided on their Banana Pudding Matcha Crème Brûlée. I opted for the 30% for the sweetness level and it was perfect. The matcha definitely tasted authentic and the banana pudding plus crème brûlée paired so well after everything was mixed. It even came with a Biscoff cookie! So glad I decided to stop by and try their matcha!

    Menu 9/12/26. There are no parfaits though.

    I've come here a handful of times now, and it really shines as a good matcha spot in an area that doesn't really have too many of them! I've tried multiple drinks from Matsu Matcha including the Banana Pudding Matcha Einspanner, Guava Matcha Latte, Matcha Latte w/ Mango, Matcha Coconut Cloud, Matcha Cookie Butter, and their Matcha Lychee Tonic. All were solid drinks! Although I got specialty drinks most of the time, you could still taste the matcha. And for the most part, their specialty drinks were well-balanced. There is almost no interaction with workers since you order from the 2 kiosks at the entrance and workers are just making the drinks. Regardless, each time, the drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time even considering how busy they were some of the times. The inside is clean and sleek! However, a minor inconvenience is that there is no trashcan inside?? Also, the menu they display on their screens is inaccurate which is a bit annoying. Why advertise items like the parfaits if they are not included? Overall, I like Matsu Matcha! It's a a solid spot for sure.

    I've been complaining about not having a suitable matcha place in the area. To no surprise, Pacific Pearl delivers. They even brought in a Chi Cha Sen (see my review there). Matcha popularity today is like what boba was 3-5 years ago. The craze is exploding. Line is decently long, but they do have two kiosks running and multiple workers making drinks/scooping gelato. From placing my order to getting it, i probably waited ~10-15 min. I ordered the banana einspanner and my wife had the matcha latte. The einspanner was nice and sweet. I personally wouldn't go above 80% sugar. If you want true matcha flavor, get the matcha later or triple matcha latte. Matcha latte flavor was nuanced and forward. I would recommend not going above 30% sugar if you really want to get a sense for the matcha flavor. The store is relatively modern and clean! Please support them as they recently got broken into =(. They even give free scoops of gelato if you leave a yelp review after ordering!

    This is a popular Dessert Match place locating in the Pacific Peal shopping center across from the Ranch 99 market . It took over the space connected with the former I Am Yogurt location in early 2026 . It offers traditional and strong green teas , matcha gelato, matcha ice blend and specialty matcha creations . I like their guava matcha , strawberry matcha latte,coconut matcha cloud . The store has a tight layout and can get busy on weekends evenings or peak afternoons, leading to 15-20 minutes wait time . You can line up to order from the Kiosks or order on line before you go there . The on line order runs from 12 noon to 8:45 pm . You can choose your sugar level from 100 % to zero . Today we hit matcha gelato and Matcha latte to go . It has better / richer matcha flavor than the other Matcha store in the plaza across the street . One draw back is the unisex restroom , it is clean but very moist and retain some smell . I would suggest they use paper towel instead of the blow dryer machine . Apply a nice air freshener would be nice .

    I got to try the guava matcha drink. The drink itself is good, but at over $8 a cup, it's already on the expensive side. Like a few other reviewers have mentioned, there's also an additional fee listed under taxes and fees that cannot be removed. So what starts as an $8 cup of matcha ends up costing around $10 after tax and the unavoidable fee. At that price point, I expected better quality and value. The drink is enjoyable, but once you factor in the extra fees, it feels overpriced for what you're getting.

    No because this place is on the way home from work... I first had Matsu at a popup in Elk Grove and I don't remember it being this good haha. Matsu Matcha takes over the previous Hey! I Am Yogost location where it's a hybrid menu including also gelato and matcha / hojicha to the yogurt drinks. Everything is self order on 2 kiosks. The line can get pretty long, but trust on that wait time. They have a great workflow system going on because I never wait more than 5 minutes for one --- and it's hand whisked. Menu offers matcha (triple, double, einspanner, strawberry, guava, banana, brown sugar) and hojicha. Prices are on the higher end $7-$9 just for one drink. My go to is their strawberry matcha! Love how the strawberry isn't like a jam and it's more of a crushed strawberry compote consistency. The matcha is pretty solid and leaning towards the creamier and umami side.

    Pick up counter.

    Matsu Matcha opened 2 months ago in Hey! I Am Yogost's space, co-sharing the space. Yogost menu still available. Ordering on 2 kiosks only. Though kiosks clunky to use, the order went through. Got drink in minutes. Only a few tables available inside. In the confusion, I either forgot to take a pic or had a malfunction. Offerings: yogosts, matcha, hojicha, gelato, parfait. Sips: XX Matcha Latte (7.25) no sugar, -initially drink was pretty robust. Stronger than the usual. no sweetness. As ice diluted , matcha devolved into the usual faint sip. No ice next time. -many innovative options worth exploring. 4.5 stars. worthy! Service: none. Notice given on text message. Quality: pretty good Quantity: small either 8 or 12 ounce. Steady flow of patrons. -

    Amazing guava matcha!!! I would come back for this but would wait til they get it together and work out ALL their gaps. -1 star for FORCED tip. If you were feeling rush due to a long line like I was, you are overlooked by the automatic tip they force which I did not appreciate. -1 star for having the right kiosk down without "out of order" sign, not having honey boba even though i was charged for it and didnt say "out of stock" on the kiosk, and a filthy bathroom that needs to be checked hourly. If you are charging $10 per drink, full charge, we are expected to have full service. Milk tea is terrible. Amongst 4 different tate buds we collectively said I did not taste like osmanthus at all and it was the only milk tea option. Why you ask did we order milk tea at a matcha place is my my kid doesnt drink matcha but the adult also tried it and disliked it a lot. The staff seems overwhelmed and maybe under staffed

    Dropped by Matsu Matcha on a Monday afternoon. We had been meaning to try the one in Santa Clara and weren't aware this one had opened up until we were in the area looking for matcha. There was no wait to order and two kiosks available to order from. A couple of small groups inside when we got there. Inside was pretty cold but outside was hot and they serve gelato so it makes sense! The banana pudding einspanner was excellent! One of the best banana matchas we have had and we've tried a lot given the recent surge in banana matcha drinks in the SF Bay Area. We loved the banana pudding as a topping, and appreciated that we could taste real pieces of banana in addition to the pudding. It's not a true einspanner, with the pudding taking place of what would be cream, but beyond delicious. I'm a slow drinker and still drank half my cup in the first 10 minutes. The avocado shake wasn't the family favorite, but it was more down to personal preference (not liking crystal boba, not liking chia in drinks, etc.) Quality-wise, everyone agreed the avocado shake itself tasted really fresh. We don't often come out to this area, but definitely want to visit the one in Santa Clara for a needed Banana Pudding Einspanner fix.

    It's been awhile since last time I was in Livermore. I always visit this store when I'm here. This time discovered they have Matcha options on top of the yogurt drinks! All tastes so great!!!

    Got Uji matcha and Extra rich (extra cost) matcha to try. This location doesnt let you try so I just picked two. Very small cup for the gelato. Service is fast! Ice cream is really good but damn! $11-11.50 for very small amount of gelato though.

    Cool cup for the gelato matcha

    Came here after a quick Yelp search to sate my matcha craving after lunch. I didn't even know this place existed. Self order kiosk upon entering. You can dine in (self seating) or take out. Guava Matcha 4/5 Matcha with Hojicha Gelato 4/5 Banana Pudding Matcha Crème Brûlée 4/5 (their specialty drink that was quite tasty. Need to stir it well so that every sip had some banana pudding with matcha and the surprise torched sugar pieces. The cookie eventually gets soaked to the bottom and it was actually quite tasty vs just a wet cookie. Want to come back and try their Einspinner

    Visited Matsu Matcha and really enjoyed the presentation the matcha had a beautiful bright green color that showed off the quality of the grade. I got the matcha banana pudding einspanner and while it was tasty the matcha flavor was a little more subtle than I expected with the cream and banana taking the lead. Still a lovely sweet treat! The space itself was also really pretty and clean and it made for a great spot to study.

I've had this place bookmarked for forever and was super excited when I realized I'd be in the area and could finally check it out. You can either order via walk-in or drive through. I opted to do the drive through as I didn't see any available street parking right in front of the ice cream shop. Luckily the drive through line was very short when I came by Tuesday evening around 6 pm. The first confusing thing for me was how to get into the drive through line, as I was coming from the wrong direction. There were no signs for this. Eventually I pulled up and asked one of the workers, and she said the drive through line entrance is on Neal St, coming from the First St direction. The second confusing thing was that there wasn't much of a menu for the drive through. There's just one small sign with a list of their everyday flavors and another one with some new flavors listed, but that was it. It was a spontaneous decision to come here, but had I known, I would've done more research on available flavors. No prices were listed either. After coming, I looked on their IG page and saw a bunch more flavors featured that would've been fun to try. Oh well. I ended up going the most basic route with a small vanilla soft serve. It was ready for me when I pulled up to the inside. The vanilla soft serve was delicious! I'm used to "lighter" soft serves from the fast food chains, but the ice cream here is creamier and more dense, which I absolutely loved. It felt like it had more substance to it. Plus you can't beat the price! It was only $3.50 for a small, which was already very large.
