    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. -

    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 .

    Guava matcha

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Matcha Banana Pudding Einspanner

    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.

    The matcha was really good! Smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. The matcha flavor came through nicely and went really well with the cream on top. Would definitely get it again.

    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

    Matcha gelato with genmaicha matcha, and hojicha gelato
    Whitney T.

    You order via two kiosks, and they call out your order when it's ready. I came right at opening on a Wednesday afternoon and a good amount of customers showed up minutes after me. Got the matcha gelato with genmaicha matcha gelato and the hojicha with hojicha gelato, both at 80% sweet Both were so delicious! The genmaicha matcha gelato had a strong genmaicha taste. I never had genmaicha matcha gelato before but I've had the tea. It tastes very similar and tasty in ice cream form! They give you a little wooden spoon to eat it. The matcha tastes pretty authentic. The hojicha was very creamy and was also very pleasant to drink! A good alternative if you want a drink with less caffeine. Hojicha lovers will definitely love this drink. Both were really good! Cant go wrong with either one! The genmaicha matcha gelato was really unique to me. I would eat this as a scoop of icecream if we could!

    Strawberry Matcha ($7.50), Banana Pudding Matcha ($8.95)

    Finally, we have some real matcha in the Tri-Valley! They've basically rebranded from Yogost/T% to Matsu Matcha, just like their Santa Clara location. Not sure if the Sacramento T%'s did this either. You can still get your usual yogurt drinks and boba tea, but now with the addition of matcha! The yogurt drinks here are delicious and tarty, so I'm glad it's not gone. I heard they finally brought gelato up here, so I'll have to be back. Wait wasn't bad either but seems like it varies. RECS: + Strawberry matcha ($7.95) with 50% sweet was just right. I liked the fresh strawberry puree with the smooth, slightly earthier matcha

We tried their matcha roasted rice latte and Hojicha latte, both sweetened. The hojicha latte was AMAZING! 10/10, no notes. It reminded us of the hojicha we had in Japan. The matcha roasted rice was unfortunately way, way too sweet to tolerate and little matcha flavor and green color. I would be open to ordering this again with extra matcha and little to no sweetener. This would be a 5 star review if the ambiance was nicer and matcha wasn't so weak and sweet. I would definitely be interested in coming back and giving Kamurocho's matcha another try and exploring their other drinks.

I turn and ask the lady after she was done with her customer how much for this delight? She said it's $24. Without question I grabbed said pie, and went to the register. I told her that Berry is my favorite, and she went on to say that every Friday is Pie Day. She also mentioned that if I ever needed anything in particular, I could call ahead. She could have it prepared for me. Wonderful lady and beautiful service. Might I add that a pie of this weight and stature normally runs about $35 even $40 in some places. We had a slice the next day because I could not bear it any longer. Without lie this is the best pie I've had in years!!!! Years or even perhaps ever. It has to be realized that if there is Berry Pie of any kind on the menu it will be ordered even to go. There were actual whole berries, and it was not full of sugar like some pies. You can taste the natural fruit of summer, and the crust was perfection!!!! Now I have to wait for a Birthday to order a cake. I'm sure it will be divine!

I believe I stopped by around 6PM and they still had plenty of desserts in the display case to pick from.
