Love the flavour selection here! Would definitely come back again with a group of friends.

The ultra rich matcha is ultra rich. I really enjoyed it. It was very good. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy!

Amazing matcha I got the ube matcha latte and it was delicious!!! Have not seen this combo at other shops but it is an amazing pairing. Came here to do some quick studying but wasn't ideal due to lack of wifi. I ended up sharing a table with some nice strangers since it was super packed. read more

I was really excited to try one of these dessert shops that have the levels of matcha ice cream! It was also nice that there was a discount towards closing. Got the seasonal grape matcha and ube ice cream. Super creamy and they loaded up the cone with so much ice cream! Service was very nice, and the worker that helped us was super chill with us trying different flavors. Cute ambiance inside with a lot of seating! read more

Heard good things about Matsu Matcha and had to swing by when I was in the area. I went with the Triple Matcha. The earthy, grassy matcha flavor came through loud and clear, just as expected. I also ordered the ultra rich matcha gelato, because if you're already getting matcha, why stop at one? This one takes it up one level. Definitely one for the matcha lovers. There's also plenty of seating inside, with a warm wood-heavy interior that makes the space feel welcoming and cozy. read more

Daydreaming about their matcha. Such a cool cafe offering different levels of matcha intensity & not to mention their selection on matcha gelato. They really live up to their hype! Hardly any contact with the staff since ordering is at the kiosk. Once order is ready the staff calls out your number and drinks are placed at the counter for pick-up. A little nice shop with ample of parking spaces. It can get a bit crowded inside depending on the hour of the day you go. We went slightly after they had just opened maybe 30 mins in and it worked out for us, while waiting I am noticing people are lining up already. Nonetheless definitely will return in the near future. read more

Loooove their ice cream! I always find myself coming back here on Sundays. Their Hokkaido flavor is my absolute favorite--it has this subtle hint of cheese that I couldn't explain! The #4 Matcha is so perfect--just the right amount of grassiness and that deep, delicious umami flavor. And their Ube?! Somehow, it's even better than any Filipino ice cream I've had, ngl. Definitely one of my favorite ice cream spots! read more

Solid dessert stop in the South Bay. Not a lot of seating (~20 people for the whole store) and orders come out pretty quick. Decently-sized menu for drinks and gelato. Lots of gelato flavors to choose from -- was cool to see less common flavors like osmanthus fermented rice! All asian flavors too. We got two scoops in a cone: the extra rich matcha and hojicha. Solid gelato that was pretty creamy and both matcha and hojicha flavors were strong. read more

8/24/2026 Monday Recommend flavor: black sesame I am not a big matcha person but was looking for a new ice cream shop and came across this one online. Went there on Sunday and ordered their ube and black sesame. The black sesame has a concentrated flavor that trumped the ube at the end. I love the black sesame so much I returned next day just to get another one. They let you try their ice cream before ordering. I tried the mid level matcha (they have 5 levels and the higher the level the more bitter it is according to the person behind the counter) and it just didn't hit my taste bud. read more

Einspanner: Tastes like I'm eating vanilla ice cream with the tiniest TINIEST hint of matcha. Pistachio matcha: pistachio is faint. Matcha (at their recommended sweetness) is overly sweet.

Matsu Matcha is giving quiet luxury energy -- minimalist space, soft green palette, the kind of spot that photographs itself. Only catch -- service is slow. Budget extra time if you're not just there to sip and scroll. Still worth it for the matcha alone read more

Perfect for matcha lovers! Matsu has a variety of strength levels & flavors for both their drinks & their gelato. Parking / vibe: lots of parking as Matsu is in a plaza with many other businesses. They have an alright amount of seating inside but it can get packed pretty quick. Very clean & organized, though. Drinks / Gelato: as someone who LOVES strong matcha, this is the perfect spot. We tried the triple matcha & banana pudding matcha einspanner which were both great. We also got tried their ube, black sesame, ultra rich matcha, & hojicha gelato. My top 2 had to be the triple matcha & black sesame gelato but honestly enjoyed everything. read more

[Food/Drinks] - Gelato in cup ($8.25): Can choose up to 3 flavors, but I choose Strawberry Cheesecake & Hojicha. Both were really good and helped balanced each other out as the Strawberry Cheesecake gelato was a tad sweet. - Hojicha Latte ($6.65): Pretty good, although I think next time I would increase the sweetness a bit. [Service] - Order via kiosk and pick up your order once you see your order # on the screen or when the staff calls your name [Overall] - Would come back again for the gelato! read more

When in need of a late night sweet treat, Matsu Matcha is a good option. Despite coming here at 9pm (to be fair, on a Saturday), there was a long line out the door. They also had a 10% discount on the gelato for the last hour before closing. There is only one kiosk to order off of, so it took us around 15 minutes to get inside and place our orders. The seating was full, but we were able to snatch a table when someone was leaving. The menu was quite large, so it was hard to even pick what to get! There's ice cream, drinks, and parfaits that all looked tempting. We ended up getting the peach rice mochi yogurt, extra strong matcha latte, and uji matcha #3 / ultra rich matcha #5 gelato scoops. The peach rice mochi yogurt tastes exactly like Yoplait peach yogurt (almost wondering if that's what they used LOL), but the mochi inside was suuuper satisfying - added great chew and texture to the drink. But would probably just make at home myself next time with Yoplait. The extra strong matcha latte was indeed very strong, and they for sure didn't skimp out on the matcha. Very rich, and a mix of earthiness and sweetness. The gelato was very flavorful as well, with a clear difference in strength between the #3 and #5. I'm personally a fan of not-super-sweet ice creams, so I was a fan of these two scoops. I'd try avoiding the line and wait next time (although I'm not too sure what the best time of day would be for that), but I'll be ordering the parfait to try next! read more

I tried the guava matcha which was well balanced and not too sweet as recommended. It took about a half hour to get the drink on the weekend but worth it if you're not in a rush. They have some seating inside as well but it can be a bit loud. Overall the drink was good and a good experience. read more

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. read more

Had a chance to try Matsu Matcha and had a great experience. This is a nice cafe type store where you can buy matcha drinks / sweet treats. The interior was nice and comfortable with tables/chairs. For our order, it was a hot day so we went with ice cream which was yummy! We got half ube and half of the almond fig one which was delish. We got our order pretty quickly which was nice, would definitely go back to try the drinks next time! read more

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. read more

I finally found a matcha shop that has quality matcha! Maybe slightly expensive, but on par with other matcha shops in the area. I've enjoyed their crème brûlée and the strawberry matcha. For the later I did 30% and I could even go 0% since the strawberry's are sweet. I highly recommend - I'll be back. read more

Matsu Matcha - Desserts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Matsu Matcha is located in a busy plaza along El Camino Real with a parking lot thats less than ideal especially on weekends. The interior is nicely updated in contrast to the rest of the buildings in the adjoining plaza. There is some indoor seating, claw machines, and a kiosk to self order near the window. The display case offers their icecream selection with various tea flavors and strengths of matcha. I have only tried one drink here and that was the guava matcha. I found the drink to be very comparable to academic's guava matcha but with more customizable options in term of sweetness level and ice. The guava foam is refreshing, sweet with a strong guava forward flavor. The taste is authentic and not artificial. The matcha itself is mild, earthy, and with little umami. I found the drink to be enjoyable and unique. I would recommend! Service was limited since you self order at the kiosk. The drinks took about 8-10 minutes since it was a busy Saturday afternoon. I can't attest for the icecream, but I would come back for the guava matcha! read more

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. read more

COME HERE FOR THE GELATO! The gelato here is delicious and it's a perfect spot to have a sweet treat after dinner. We visited for a Saturday lunch a few weeks back and it was BUSY. Luckily the line moved quickly - they have two kiosks for ordering. They don't have the largest space; only a few tables are available and it can take a while for the takes to turnover. We ended up getting lucky and snagged one for 4 after our drinks came. First: the gelato! I ended up getting the Hojicha, Matcha, and Hokkaido. You can definitely tell they use high-grade matcha here; it was earthy and smooth without that harsh bitterness. I didn't think the extra surcharge for the premium "levels" was necessary, so I just went with the highest tier before the upcharge. The hojicha was also a standout (toasty + nutty!) and the hokkaido was incredibly rich and creamy. I'd go for all of these flavors again! On the other hand... I'd probably skip the drinks next time. One of my friends got the banana pudding creme brûlée with the biscoff on top and all of us agreed that the drink was not good at all. The creme brûlée on top ended up being burnt, which tainted the drink with a strong bitter flavor... so much so that we ended up taking it back. They were nice enough to offer a different drink to replace it, which we appreciated, but the drinks just didn't hit like the gelato did. read more

This place used to be T Percent and they still retained the interior. I decided to split a gelato cup with my partner. We had the yuzu cream and two different levels of matcha.
