Saemyi L.

The mango mont blanc parfait was good. But i don't think the tea jelly was necessary. It didn't really had to it. I would have rather have more soft serve. It's in the cafeteria section of Mitsuwa so it can feel a bit busy. I went another time for the matcha mont blanc. We were waiting forever for it. But realized the girl never called out the order so it was just sitting on the counter and some of it was melted and spilled over. (that's why i don't have a picture). How was I supposed to know my order was ready? So that was pretty annoying... I almost wanted to ask her to re-make it. But I just said whatever and just ate it. I didn't like the matcha that much. Should've just ordered the mango. I wish the mango had just the soft serve and the mango mont blanc. Didn't want to pay extra to get a parfait where i didn't like half of the things on it.

Had to order from the kiosk but it force you to sign up. You can exit out of the sign up on the right hand corner. Creme brulee crepe with strawberry taste so delicious. I was surprise they made into a cone. I got the Matcha Ice Cream Float and I didn't like how the much was too strong. I didn't like how the Sakura drink tasted like.

This place is located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's in the little food court area so great after you do your shopping in the main area. They have all kinds of things here including matcha shakes, lattes, soft serve ice cream and even gluten free crepes! You order at the kiosk and pay with card (no cash). They'll call your name when your order is ready. I got a strawberry daifuku and a matcha sesame latte with soy milk. I didn't have to wait too long since I got mostly basic items. The crepes can take up to 15 mins depending on the demand at the time. The daifuku was soft and delicious. Not too sweet. The matcha sesame seed late was extremely bitter until you mix it up a bit with the rest of the drink and then it's lightens up a bit. Definitely will come back to try one of their crepes.

Strawberry Daifuku
Cynthia P.

This place is located inside of Mitsuwa! I was super excited to get their strawberry daifuku. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. Ordering is through a self kiosk and they call your name when your order is ready. The daifuku was yummy! The sweet white bean paste complimented the strawberry really well. Especially since the strawberry was more on the sour side. It was a very dry good balance. I never tried the matcha or ice cream here before, but will one day in the future!

Mochi ice cream (matcha)  Sakura cold foam matcha latte
Alaine M.

Came here around 7:30 pm on a Saturday with my girlfriend. This is inside Mitsuwa, once you enter you just go to the left and there is a food court along with a bookstore. You order on a kiosk, and it is very straightforward and the whole menu is listed on there as well. Matcha Latte with Sakura cold foam: Super delicious, it is very floral, and it pairs deliciously with the matcha. It is very strong which is great. Mochi ice cream (matcha): This was super good, honestly reminded me of something I had in Japan, it is very authentic and makes me very nostalgic. This is a great place to get your matcha fix, they also have Hokkaido milk, Hojicha, etc. Even better that it's inside Mitsuwa, little treat you can get after you shop.

Sakura Foam Matcha Latte
Tiffany T.

Was OK. Located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace, the matcha store is at the food court near Kinokuniya. I got the Sakura Foam Matcha Latte, and the sakura foam was really unique! Very floral and creamy. The matcha itself was nothing special. It's a great place to grab matcha if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way. Since it's inside the marketplace food courts, there's plenty of seating and a variety of restaurants you can eat from!

Kinda bitter.
Dave S.

We wanted something cool and refreshing after lunch and a quick stop inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. My wife did the honors of standing in line and paying with a card via their kiosk, no cash. A couple of matcha cones. Easy enough. It was cool but after a few licks it was bitter, not terrible but enough not to make it truly a treat... bummer. They added a tip without asking because they think no one's paying attention, another bummer. Last words... drink a water for the price I paid in the tip they took next time.

Matcha Dango
Bella H.

Came on a Tuesday evening, this is located inside of the Mitsuwa supermarket. You order on their touchscreen and they make your items fairly quickly when there's no line. The ice cream was good I would say it was more of a milky flavor as opposed to a Matcha flavor so very sweet. Would be interested in trying other items on their menu next time.

Strawberry Parfait Mont Blanc
Hannah C.

I've heard so much about the mont blanc and was super excited to try it - it did not disappoint! Mochi-ya Ren is located within Mitsuwa, so after some grocery shopping, I stopped by. It was not too busy when I visited, but I have seen instances where there's a large crowd. Seating in the Mitsuwa food court was plentiful. I ordered immediately and after a short wait, the mont blanc was ready! I specifically ordered the strawberry parfait, and it was delicious. I loved the silly string texture of the mont blanc topping made from bean paste. The corn flakes at the bottom went well with the soft strawberry pieces, chewy mochi bites, and creamy soft serve. It was a whole variety of textures and flavors in a single bite. The mont blanc was the perfect treat, and I would definitely visit again to try the matcha lattes and mochi crepes!

matcha mont blanc
Vania B.

Came to try the viral mont blanc (strawberry parfait version) and I think it was decent! The matcha mont blanc itself had good matcha flavor, but I personally felt it could be stronger. The parfait itself was good, but too sweet. I liked all the extras in there like the strawberry, mochi, and wafer for extra texture contrast and flavor. Overall good to try! But I don't know that I'd crave it enough to come back.

Sakura matcha sundae , black sesame soft serve
Hieu L.

Located inside the same marketplace, we decided to grab dessert here. During the time we were there, they had a special Sakura offering. I got the Sakura Matcha sundae that came with a certain amount of things, the black sesame soft serve. The prices are pretty high here and for the amount you're getting I thought it was pretty small. The two workers that are there are basically in the back putting things together. There's no one there to actually physically take your order. You have to do everything on the iPad machine in the front. We had some difficulties with using it so it took some time for the order to go through.

We stopped by Mitsuwa market for an impromptu trip on a busy Saturday. After perusing the menu for a bit, we decided on the Banana Cream Matcha Latte and placed our order on the kiosk. The wait was fairly short, about 5 minutes. The latte hit the spot! It was cold and creamy, matcha flavor was just right, not too strong and the banana cream complimented the flavor. Would definitely order again. Next time I'd like to try their strawberry daifuku. Inside the market cafeteria it can be a bit chaotic due to heavy foot traffic but our overall experience was still pleasant! This little spot is worth the trip.

Blueberry Matcha Latte
Allison S.

This is located inside Mitsuwa grocery store . Ordering is done through a self serve kiosk, which is convenient if you know what you want but not super helpful if you have questions. I ordered the blueberry matcha, hoping for something fruity but it really fell flat. There was barely any blueberry flavor, and even the matcha itself was surprisingly weak. The drink looked pretty, but the taste just didn't deliver. For a place that specializes in matcha, I expected a bolder, more authentic flavor.

Wowowow finally got to try Izumi's drinks. Not sure if they need another 5 star review lol, this…read moreplace is heavily known by matcha lovers and SJ locals. What I had: - Lychee Matcha (double matcha, regular sweet, regular ice) - Yuzu Matcha (double matcha, regular sweet, regular ice). Double matcha was not overly strong or caffeinating to me (love that they do not charge extra for this option btw)- my caff tolerance I'd say is relatively high or above average for sure. Surprisingly, at that matcha level the taste is not overly bitter at all. And the regular sweet is perfect (I normally get 50% sweet at boba shops). Same with the ice level, I think their regular ice level is fine (I normally get less ice at boba shops). The Lychee matcha has great lychee taste, not artificial tasting, it's a great blend of both lychee + matcha. The Yuzu is leaning towards the 'lemonade' profile without being overly citrusy. More refreshing than the lychee matcha, but both are refreshing anyways due to the nature of their flavors! I think I prefer the lychee matcha normally, honestly hard to say which flavor is better! I thoroughly enjoyed both these drinks! Their flavors are blended well with the matcha- not overly sweet in flavor, and matcha is great quality while not overly powerful or bitter. Drinks are of course mixed well and composed nearly perfectly. ---How I Rate on Yelp:--- (5 stars): Exceptional!! -- food, service, and atmosphere all outstanding. Worth going out of your way. (4 stars): Great! -- very good experience overall, minor flaws but nothing major. (3 stars): Good -- decent, acceptable, but there's room for clear improvement. (2 stars): Poor -- disappointing experience, multiple issues (food, service, or setting). (1 star): Terrible -- very bad experience, would not return or recommend.

Izumi Matcha has been a top option for matcha over the past year…read more While Izumi was popular over the summer of 2025, recently Izumi has been much emptier. The service is great, and they make your drinks very fast. The taste is very consistent, and they do have a large menu with lots of different items other than matcha. My only downside is the variety of matcha over the recent year. From last year and this year, the menu for matcha has not changed much, and it seems like I get the same taste every time I go. While the first time was enjoyable, after it just gets repetitive. I love Izumi, but I really wish there was a rotation between drinks.

We ended up going again the next day to try it. We ordered the Premium Strawberry Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. The bingsoo was delicious and not too sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and a big cheesecake wedge. It's especially great for a hot summer day. The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back!

We got the red bean and the strawberry flavors - the portions were very large for a bay-area reasonable price of less than $15 item. It was my first visit and honestly, I was a bit disappointed; while there were lots of fresh fruits, I found the flavor bland and not sweet enough - which may be someone's jam? I wished it had more condensed milk to give it a more creamy flavor. The shaved ice was beautiful and fluffy - i'd say this is the main draw that may bring me back to try new flavors. There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.

I've been coming to Snowtime for a couple of years, and it's still one of my favorite dessert spots…read morewhenever I'm in the Campbell area. They have an impressive variety of drinks and desserts, and I especially love that their snow/bingsu comes in three different sizes (small, medium, large), making it perfect whether you're treating yourself or sharing with friends. On my latest visit, I tried the Banana Matcha drink, and the flavor was delicious. The banana layer on the bottom is a nice touch and you can clearly taste both the matcha and banana. My only note is that I wish the layer on top was a bit thicker for a creamier texture. Even so, the quality and consistency keep me coming back. If you're craving shaved snow desserts, soft serve or unique drinks, Snowtime is always worth a visit!

The A/C was blasting so it was a bit cold eating our soft serve but it's better than being hot! The taro soft serve was good, a little more tart than I'm used to but good! The Taiyaki was freshly made. I would have liked more custard but I'll know next time to ask. Toppings were ok, the coconut and almonds would be much better toasted. The Black Sesame was inert but gave it texture. The banana latte was delicious! Creamy on top, mild coffee flavor, and the banana came through nicely. Big cup also! We'll definitely be back!

After 10 mins I got my drink and it looked nothing like the pictures in comparison. The "extra" banana cream I got ended up being less than what I'm seeing in photos on yelp from other customers.

For $8, a dollar a sip. In this economy ?!? I got robbed. Next time I'll stick to Izumi or soyful. My friend got the jasmine matcha, no changes and had plenty to drink still long after I finished mine. I went for the creamy MT from soyful after to drown out my sorrows. Unlikely to come back, this was a disappointing experience. Their other drinks seem good though.
