    Gelato

    They have great lighting, aesthetic interior, and their matcha doesn't taste like grass. 5/5 would recommend

    Lance F.

    The matcha ice cream is SO DELICIOUS. The fact that you're able to get different levels of based on strong you enjoy your matcha is just so awesome. But the quality as well is just amazing. The matcha is incredibly smooth and makes me want to get more than just a cup. They also had other flavors, not just matcha, by the pictures I took they also had ube ice cream which was also SO DELICIOUS. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted ube or matcha so I ended up getting both and it was the best decision ever. As other ice cream places, they allow you to try a sample before you buy which was a great experience. The shop is incredibly small though, with atleast 80% of it being seating for indoors. Having to wait in line was a hassle because of the kiosk that customers were taking forever ordering from. The line formed outside the building snd the area to wait was too cramped.

    This is a small matcha-focused spot located amongst a larger aggregation of restaurants, cafes, and dessert cafes. Finding parking can be difficult when the area is busy, but it normally isn't too bad. The interior is clean and the space is small, with limited seating. After ordering on the tablet, I find that our drinks come out reasonably quickly. The highlights here are the matcha drinks and the various ice creams that they sell. Most of their menu comprises of variants of the two (with some additional drinks, desserts, and matcha powders as well). The main draw for me is the matcha, which is the central flavor and theme. I really love the massive variety of matcha drinks they offer; there are different creams, milks, purees, and matcha concentrations to suit a wide variety of palates. Their ice cream is also top-tier--the black sesame and osmanthus rice flavors are my personal favorite. Plus, if you come in just before closing, you get a small discount! The main issue I have with this spot is the pricing. Their drinks can rocket into the $8-$9 range (before tax and tip!), which can leave your bill at nearly $10 a drink! Though their matcha is good, it is hard to justify such a price when there are a litany of other matcha places that offer lower prices without a noticeable difference in quality. There is no WiFi access, and the bathroom is often out of order, which makes sitting down to study or relax a little bit harder. That said, I still won't count this spot out. I really do love the flavor of their matcha, and their ice cream is top tier (and more than worth it with the discount). I'd say give it a try, but be mindful of the prices.

    The Matcha here is so good! I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the Matcha and the drinks. You order via a kiosk and there's a screen with an estimated time of how long the drinks will take. I went in on a Tuesday around 2pm and it was pretty busy. Our order took about 12 minutes, despite there only being two orders ahead. It looked like there was only two staff. I ordered the matcha with cookie butter cold foam. The sweetness was perfect for me and the drink was creamy and smooth, just how I like it. My husband got the brown sugar matcha and it was alright. Not as creamy but the matcha was strong and it had a good brown sugar taste but a bit too sweet despite the sugar adjustment. Overall I think this spot is worth the hype. I probably wouldn't be back on a weekend as the service was a little slow but the drinks were definitely good.

    This is the second time I've been here. This time they have more flavors for drinks and gelato. I'm glad to see that they have Ube in the menu. I was debating if I should get a gelato like last time but I saw the Ube matcha latte so I made up my mind and chose that drink instead. I'm happy that I did 0% sugar as I can taste the matcha more. However, I feel like the Ube flavor can be improved on as its taste is hiding under the matcha flavor. My friend let me tried the triple matcha and that was sweet compared to my drink which is understandable as it's 80% sugar. I'll come back again next time and try it but with 0% sugar. The service was good as they're nice for us while we ask to try some gelato flavor. However I can't tell much about the ordering system as we did it through a kiosk. With the ambiance, it's good for hangouts as it gives casual vibes but sadly there's not a lot of seating spots as it's a small space which is a typical size for like a boba/dessert place.

    I was excited try Matsu Matcha with so many matcha spots popping up in South Bay. We came by on a Saturday afternoon and luckily there wasn't much of a wait. I got an iced bayberry matcha while my partner opted for the peach yogurt drink. The bayberry matcha was nice but I thought it could have been creamier. Bayberry is one of my favorite fruits but somehow in the matcha, it was pretty grainy and didn't mix well. The peach yogurt drink was good - we got it 30% sweet so it was a tad bland but still refreshing. Overall not bad but I do wish the drinks were a bit better.

    Peach Rice Mochi Yogurt(Seasonal)
    LeeLee C.

    DoorDash order because I heard so many good things about their matcha. When I opened the menu, there are so many choices that I just don't know what to choose. Finally I decided on the Peach Rice Mochi Yogurt(Seasonal) just because it's seasonal! The drink was very good! I added matcha jelly at the bottom and it was a bit hard to suck it up with a thin straw. The drink had good yogurt flavor and a slight texture of rice mixed in. I also appreciate that the drink's texture remained consistent over the few hours I slowly sipped it. If only it would be less expensive then it would get a 5 star.

    Gelato on Hojicha(lots of ice) and milk
    Kris C.

    I love that you can try all the flavors of gelato. The hoijcha was nice and bold and sweet. Def made sure to get that and paired it with the milk- I forgot the name but it was refreshing and smooth. Paired together it was a delicious treat! Even the matcha drink were pretty darn good. Def will come back!

    My daughter loooves matcha. Saw this place a couple weeks ago when we went for a Korean food nearby. Took my daughter yesterday to try this place. We ordered Mayberry matcha and one matcha with 50% sweetness. The one has the perfect sweetness at 50% but the Mayberry is still a little too sweet. The matcha taste is awesome, after mixing them together they blend well. They put so much ice in the cup, I feel that we only get 1/3 of the liquid that's trying to fill the gap between ice. It will also be nice to have the name of the gelato written in front of the gelato buckets.

    Hojicha Latte

    Matsu Matcha has replaced the T% store in this plaza. Parking is only super difficult if the plaza is busy (which is usually during peak times) There wasn't a line out the door this time when i visited. You can order on their 2 kiosks or on the Snackpass app. It is cheaper to order in store for pickup. There's multiple types of gelato to choose from and latte drinks. There are a few levels of matcha concentration for gelato. Seasonal flavors are also offered. Green grape matcha gelato has a strong mascara taste that lingers even through the other flavors. Hokkaido milk tasted more like cheese but it might have been due to bring next to the cheesecake flavor. Hojicha was strong in the hojicha taste. All were creamy textured. The hojicha latte was more on the milkier side, but was prominent enough for hojicha taste. You can only adjust the sugar levels (0%-100%). Ice can't be adjusted and about half the cup was ice. Service was quick and friendly. They fulfilled orders fast with very little wait time. There's no working restroom at this time. Phone reception was spotty within the store as well. Hope to be back again for matcha gelato and drinks!

    Be prepared for a long wait on weekends and during peak hours. Lots of parking as it's part of a big shopping complex. We came on a warm Saturday afternoon and the line was out the door! You order via a kiosk. After we put our order in for the guava matcha we waited about 10 minutes before our drink came out. The drink was well worth the wait! The perfect level of sweetness and the guava flavor was delicious! There is some indoor seating but it was full so we decided to take our drink to go. We will definitely keep coming back!

    Woo hoo! First yelp review of the month! Got the chance to try this place on a warm day in the evening around 7 pm with a friend! This used to be Tea% but they have now remodeled the space and rebranded. I love what did with the interior; it has a zen atmosphere with the wooden furnishing. It was somewhat packed with people, but there are open tables about 8 whether for 2 people up to 4 people. You'll order through their self service kiosk and wait for either a text to pick up a drink or it will be delivered to your table if you ordered a dessert. It took about 10 minutes for my order to be complete since it was busy. I got their peach rice mochi yogurt since they didn't mango gelato available :( Though, I did enjoy the peach rice flavor since the texture was smooth and creamy. The flavors were great and a semi-sweet flavor. Refreshing and enjoyable experience!

    Matsu Matcha has easily been one of my favorite matcha spots over the past year. The quality is always on point regardless of how busy they are, and the sweetness levels are perfectly balanced. I love that their matcha is a beautiful, vibrant green color, which really shows the care they put into preparing and whisking it. My go-to orders are the butter cookie matcha latte and the classic matcha latte. The only minor downside is that they occasionally run low on stock or sell out of certain specialty drinks. While the drinks are definitely worth the trip, the plaza itself is always incredibly busy. Finding a parking spot can be a bit of a challenge on the weekends, and you should expect to do a few loops around the lot before something opens up.

I highly recommend…read moreit for people who don't want to deal with the line that understandably goes out the door. The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

Since then they have settled down and got things together. This should have been a five-star review, but . . . I am impressed by their unique pastry offerings. Today we ordered a Matcha Chocolat, a Pastrami Suisse (sorry, no photo - my wife devoured it before I could get a picture of it ...), a Burrata Avocado Toast, French Onion Soup (again, no photo), and an Americano. First of all, the coffee was superb! Great espresso flavor and aroma, but not astringently bitter. It really complimented the Matcha Chocolat's sweetness, even though, in my opinion, matcha tea and chocolate really do not go well together - this combination worked! The French Onion Soup was fabulous! Great aroma, and the sweet onion flavor was so delightful. This alone would be satisfying. And it is one of these rare instances where one would not want to have anything else that would ruin the state of bliss. That being stated, it did pair with the Pastrami Suisse, and together they complimented each other so well. What did not work well was the Burrata Avocado Toast. I have to say that this did not impress me at all, except for presentation (it looked nice!). The toast was soggy and the crust ultra hard. There was more mozzarella cheese than avocado (could not even taste the avocado . . .). What shined, however, was not the actually avocado toast, but the accompanying salad. Tasty! Unusual, however, in that I could taste the greens, the tomatoes, and the radishes - the dressing was not overpowering as I find to often with many restaurants. I found this salad to be quite refreshing! Now, if they can work on that toast . . . I am pleased that they have found their footing here. I highly recommend their pastries and coffee. However, they will need to reevaluate and work on their avocado toast.

    After randomly browsing Yelp and found this place, we happened to be nearby and I decided on an…read moreimpromptu visit on a Saturday afternoon. The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

    My review is based solely on the preorder and pickup experience for the seasonal persimmon…read moredesserts. I kept seeing posts about whaT's More cake's persimmon cakes, so I decided to give them a try. I preordered the persimmon molten cake and the persimmon crepe cake through their website. The online ordering process was smooth, and both cakes were ready right on time for pickup. Unfortunately, the persimmon molten cake was disappointing. While I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet, it was very mild in flavor. It tasted more like a simple sponge cake with a persimmon filling in the center, and overall, it felt quite underwhelming. In contrast, the persimmon crepe cake was much better. Each layer had persimmon cream and jam, which gave it a stronger and more pronounced persimmon flavor without being overly sweet. Overall, it's a cute cake shop worth checking out if you're looking for unique flavors in the South Bay. Parking: Plenty of parking available in the lot.
