I was visiting my best friend in town, and she took me here because she knows how much I love matcha. Spoiler alert: I went here twice within the same weekend because that's how much I loved it. There was a very long line when we got there, but I felt like the line doesn't move too slowly. There's not a ton of seating here, so it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place. My best friend and I ended up getting multiple drinks and these were our favorites: -project matcha latte strawberry matcha latte -coconut matcha cloud They were all SO delicious. I ended up getting the coconut matcha cloud twice because the combination was so delicious and refreshing. The matcha quality here is really good. I wished I was visiting longer so that I could've tried more of their drinks! I highly recommend this place. The vibes were fantastic and staff were very friendly too. read more

After trying many matcha spots in Portland, this is one of the few places that consistently delivers. The quality and flavor are always impressive. Having visited Japan several times, I really appreciate how generous they are with matcha and the care put into each drink. One suggestion would be to improve the queue system, especially during very hot or cold weather. At times, the line extends outside even when there may be space to better organize it inside. A clearer layout for waiting and seating could make the experience more comfortable and thoughtful for customers. Overall, an excellent matcha spot with great quality -- just some room to improve the customer flow experience. read more

Visited Project Matcha a few times and wanted to love it, but my experiences have been a bit mixed overall. I first tried them during their soft opening, so I gave plenty of grace since the staff were still figuring out workflow and operations. We ordered three drinks and found that they leaned either too milky or too watery, which muted the matcha flavor more than we expected. Since then, I've gone back multiple times hoping for more consistency. Some visits have been great where the matcha flavor really shines and the drink feels well-balanced, but other times the texture and flavor feel off. Either too diluted or overly milk-heavy. Even though it seems like ingredients are mostly measured out, the drinks don't always taste the same from visit to visit. One highlight is their cream tops, they're rich, sweet, and perfect if you enjoy dessert-style drinks. They definitely elevate the experience and make the drinks feel more indulgent. Overall, I'd still stop by if the shop isn't busy and I'm craving something sweet, but I can't say I'd wait in a long line given the inconsistency I've experienced. read more

Went on a weekend afternoon and waited about 25 minutes in line. Not really worth the wait imo. I got strawberry matcha with oat milk plus an extra matcha shot and my fiancé got a matcha espresso. The strawberry matcha was not bad but it only had enough matcha with the extra shot. So without the extra shot it wouldn't have been strong enough. The matcha espresso was pretty disappointing, would not recommend. Not a fan of the coffee they used :( read more

Every one of my friends enjoyed their different types of matcha myself included. Hand whisked and staff was so sweet and the vibe was adorable. So many options and I want to go back and try more this was pretty close to perfect I just like a strong matcha flavor and this was definitely more for a more casual matcha drinker/ more sweet but I bet you could ask for less sweet!! read more

We were able to grab a drink here after lunch, surprisingly the line was not too long. They have a good assortment of matcha products. We tried the banana cream hojicha and the matcha einspanner. Both drinks were made well and came out quickly. I liked that they constantly have people preparing matcha in anticipation of the next drink. It would be nice if they were open earlier in the morning. read more

Project Matcha is a modern matcha shop in a cool space with a unique selection of drinks. To get here, street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a bright and nicely decorated interior with about 6-7 tables for seating. For their menu, they have different coffee, matcha, specialty, and signature drinks to choose from. Wifey and I opted to get the Banana Cream Hojicha and the Strawberry Shortcake Matcha. Both drinks were solid and all of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. read more

I got the banana cream matcha that I thought was pretty good! Not too sweet or overwhelming. I also really liked the project matcha with earl grey tea. My friend said she loved her coconut cloud matcha, especially because it included fresh pulp, and she recommends it to anyone who loves fresh coconut water. The matcha einspanner was too milky in my opinion. Each drink was about $7.5. There was a long line on a Tuesday at 1pm but the wait itself wasn't too bad. The place was aesthetic but small and didn't have many places for customers to sit. read more

I'm from LA and visit Japan every year so as annoying as it is to say, I might be a matcha snob. With that being said, this place is fantastic. Came with two friends on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon. We parked a couple blocks away and walked over. There was a small line outside when we arrived but it moved fairly quickly. The inside is so modern and well decorated. The girl at the register was so bubbly and friendly. I ordered the banana cream matcha latte and my friends ordered the raspberry vanilla matcha latte and the jasmine matcha. We all tried each other's drinks and they were all amazing. We almost regretted not getting two drinks each so we could try some of their other items. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Banana cream matcha: 4.5/5. Nice nutty flavor, well balanced and doesn't overpower the matcha. The toppings add a nice crunch. Strawberry matcha: 4.4/5. Classic summertime favorite. We do wish there was more syrup, but this is a personal preference. Ratio was looking like 10% strawberry, 90% matcha. Our ideal ratio is 3:17 which would be 15% strawberry syrup given that they do a pulpy and fresh version. Raspberry vanilla matcha: 4.5/5. Solid ratio. Loved the vanilla addition to the mix. Not super fruity like the strawberry, milder but still flavorful. Jasmine matcha: 5/5. I love jasmine so there's a bias here. It's light, aromatic and so pleasant. If you like early grey milk teas and jasmine in general, I'd recommend!! Service this time around was friendlier. The cashier took the time to chat briefly even with the long line. There still seems to always be a line out the door, but it's a worthwhile pursuit if done with friends. Not ideal for grab n go. We ordered four drinks and it came out on the bar within less than 5 minutes. Super impressive given that they're vigorously hand whisking all the drinks. They've reached a flow state for sure. Indoor space/seating is very lively. Kinda gives NYC day time club vibes. Well decorated and always a great playlist playing over the speakers. read more

Project Matcha is so worth the hype. The kindness of the baristas alone is so refreshing. I loved Daisy's Jasmine Matcha Latte iced (7.50). Such a great price for an amazing specialty drink. Note: I got here when they open at 11am on a Thursday and was 6th in the line. The line didn't move at super speed but my drink came out in under 2 minutes when I ordered it. This is because the cashier is kind and actually chats with you :). Project Matcha is the perfect place go come with friends. It's so sunny and cute inside with mirrors and ceramics for sale and warm sun shining in that makes you forget it's 40 degrees outside. It is also a great place to treat yourself! I will be coming back here often. Thanks Project Matcha! read more

YES! We finally tried this spot and it didn't disappoint. This is some of the best matcha I've ever had, amazing matcha taste and not bitter. I had to order the jasmine matcha as I absolutely love jasmine and this was perfect!! This needs to stay on the menu! My husband also really enjoyed his banana cream matcha! There was a decent line maybe 20 mins but sooo worth it! Interior was cute, street parking took a little bit. read more

Delicious matcha with a truly vibrant color and a bold, well-balanced flavor. I ordered the jasmine matcha, which was excellent. The floral notes of jasmine complemented the matcha perfectly, and the drink was not overly sweet. The person I went with ordered the mango matcha, and it tasted incredibly fresh and bright. I really appreciate that you can get alternative milk at no extra charge. It's hard to go wrong with any of the drinks here, though I do wish the blueberry lavender matcha was still on the menu! I also really appreciate that alternative milks are available at no extra charge. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a long line out the door. Seating can be a bit difficult to find in the small cafe, but it's not impossible. Despite the crowd, the staff were kind, helpful, and efficient, and the drinks were prepared quickly. While the drinks are on the more expensive side, they are absolutely worth the price. read more

The line is commonly long whenever I pass by (even during off hours). The drinks were lovely and the cafe aesthetic is very appealing. The cashier seemed to not care when I approached the counter and continued talking to her co-worker for quite some time. She wasn't very friendly and seemed more like she was just hanging out. The drinks were prepared quickly compared to the time spent in line. My guess is because of the slow and nonchalant cashier. Besides the service, the drinks were so delicious. Would come back solely for the taste and hope that the customer service is better next time. read more

Got the banana cream matcha latte ($7.50) which comes with toffee/almond bits!! First several sips were delicious but the bits became a little too sweet for me. The banana flavor was just right, and wasn't too overpowering which I appreciated. Ambiance is a bit intimidating and didn't feel super welcoming. Very clean and minimalistic/elevated look which was pleasant. There are about 7 tables which were all taken when we arrived but we were quickly able to get a seat. I wouldn't study/work here personally, but there were a couple of people who were. We came around 3PM on a Friday and there was barely a line. read more

Project Matcha is located in Downtown Portland. We were fortunate enough to find street parking literally across the street. Upon walking upon to Project Matcha (which is located on the corner of 6th and Couch), is a shop with long windows which allows you to see the beautiful Christmas decor they currently have. The service was quick considering we walked in 11 minutes before closing (because we were trying to find street parking, lol) and were able to walk out with our orders with 5 minutes to spare!! Our drinks were soooo tasty, they were gone in a few sips... The matcha was great quality, and the flavors were sooo delicious. I will be making another stop tomorrow for a different set of drinks :) read more

I was feeling matcha and had seen this place on social media. The location is across the bridge, immediately off the freeway. We were able to find street parking quickly on a Saturday evening. This place is popular. There was a long line that went outside the cafe. We waited for 40 minutes. The business should really work on making the mine shorter. This is definitely not the place to come and go if you are in a rush. Once we reached inside, I saw they have a clean, green, and contemporary aesthetic. They have plants and ceremonial bowls as decor. The tables were filled. There was a mirror with the project matcha logo for selfies. There are laminated menus available right at the entrance. At the counter, you can see the baristas making the matcha. I ordered a project matcha latte, daisy's jasmine matcha, Kaitlyn's pistachio matcha, and the banana crème matcha. All drinks were with oat milk. We were able go get a table and wait. Our drinks were ready in about 10 minutes. They all looked very similar to each other, the same true green matcha but with different toppings. The project matcha latte was a true and pure matcha, very grainy. It was legit. I tried the daisy's jasmine matcha, which was my favorite. You can really taste the jasmine. It was the same with Kaitlyn's pistachio matcha. The banana crème matcha tasted exactly like its description. They were all delicious in their own way. I enjoyed my experience. read more

Visited Portland for the weekend. I remembered seeing this place on many TikTok's and just so happened to be in the area. Be prepared for atleast a 30 minute wait. Is the matcha good? Yes, but I see the place being known more so for their variety of matcha lattes offered. If you are just going to get a regular matcha, not sure if it's worth the wait. The lady taking my order was nice and overall they worked pretty fast. I did enjoy seeing the workers make the matcha in front of you. read more

I prefer the Hojicha one a bit more because I like the pairing with the sweet and creamy base. read more

Tip - Definitely worth a try but would highly recommend going on a weekday to save yourself from the line. Location - It's in a busy area with limited street parking and when it's busy, the line can wrap around the corner. Service - The team is extremely friendly and well trained. The cashier who helped us had only been there a few days had the process down. Drink - We ordered the Banana Cream Matcha with Oat milk which was tasty - loved the toffee bits on top! It wasn't as sweet as what I would have preferred but I have a sweet tooth. One thing that I wish was that we could order it with less ice but they said that's not an option. Interior - The management team did a great job giving it a premium feel with the minimalistic approach. read more

Very cute simple aesthetic interior. Not much seating though. Service was fairly quick. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Matcha quality here is legit. The vibrant green and made-to-order whisking of the matcha. Good luck finding street parking. read more

Came in and there was no line which was nice as they generally have a long line here. I was excited to try the coconut cloud matcha as I had a sip of my friend's and it was delicious. When I went up to order the cashier looked at me but didn't even acknowledge my presence or anything. She continued her conversation with her coworker while making eye contact with me multiples times before acknowledging me. The drinks came out quick though and were good. I found that after the foam mixes with the coconut water, it's not as good anymore. I would come back to try other drinks but this experience was mediocre. read more

Delicious and good quality matcha and I liked the creativity of the lattes. I've never had a raspberry vanilla matcha but I really enjoyed it! I felt the raspberry was much sweeter than the earl grey matcha but both were delicious. The cashier was very friendly but I honestly thought the staff could've worked more efficiently for how busy it was. I came within the first few months of opening so I'll assume that's more growing pains. Overall I think this place is worth the visit if the line can get a little better. It was really busy when I came right before lunch so maybe avoid that rush! I would come back the next time I'm in Portland though :) read more

Of course, I have to come try Project Matcha and see what the rave was about. We tried to stop by a few times during the weekend on a hot day and the lines were out the door and wrapped around; No Thanks! We tried again on a weekday and there was no line. My first impression when I walked inside was: no glam, no screen, no gimmick. Okay. cool, very industrial-like. The printed menu listed their prices; thank you for that. The menu was categorized into matcha, signature and specialty vs non-matcha. Prices ranged from $6 to $7.50. Banana Cream Matcha it is $7.50 - I really wanted the toffee bits. When we went up to order, we asked for less ice, we asked for less ice and were told there was no option for that. They cannot make it like that. That's unfortunate, but we still ordered it anyway. They had quite a bit of people working and doing different things. It was pretty cool that they used a scale to weigh everything out so the drinks would all taste consistent. The matcha drink was good, but it was not how I expected it to be. I am no matcha expert, but the drink did not satisfy my taste buds. I guess I wanted more flavor or more sweetness. Maybe I ordered the wrong drink? This was under their "signature" drinks, though. Overall, I was not as impressed with Project Matcha as I thought I would be. Parking is street parking. Some areas are free while others require payment. read more

As a matcha addict who constantly gets Project Matcha posts in her Instagram feed, I had to visit during my quick weekend trip to Portland. Project Matcha opened just a few months ago in the Alphabet District and they consistently have a long line out the door- the Instagram reels don't lie! Their matcha drinks go for about $7.50 each, which honestly is comparable to a lot of drink prices these days, but at least there is no sales tax. Project Matcha serves your classic matcha latte, but also unique twists on matcha lattes like the Earl Grey Project Matcha, Raspberry Vanilla Matcha, Banana Cream Matcha, Blueberry Lavender Matcha, and Yuzu Matcha Tonic. They additionally have a Specials Menu at the register, which happen to be a frozen matcha and a pistachio matcha this month (or season... not sure how often they change out the menu). They also have non-matcha items including espresso drinks and hojicha. If you want something sweet to go with your matcha, they serve matcha blondies, mochi cookies, and matcha tiramisu, but they're honestly pretty expensive at $5-$6 per treat. My friends and I came at 11:20am on a Sunday morning and had to wait about 30 minutes to get to the front of the line. I ordered the RASPBERRY VANILLA MATCHA LATTE ($7.50) with oat milk and a STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE ($7.50) with whole milk for one of my friends. My other friend ordered the Project Matcha special the KAITLYN MATCHA ($8) with oat milk, which is a matcha topped with pistachio cream and topped with pistachio pieces. Note that you can't adjust the ice level or sweetness level for any of the drinks and you can only get a 16-oz drink. However, plant milk (oat or almond) are at no additional cost if you don't want whole milk. The baristas are very friendly and efficient and we got our orders within 10 minutes after ordering. The RASPBERRY VANILLA MATCHA LATTE was excellent and reminded me of a raspberry popsicle with vanilla ice cream filling. It was sweet, but not overly sweet by any means and a drink I would definitely get again since I haven't seen this drink sold at other matcha places. The STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE was good too, but I personally liked the raspberry one better because it had more flavor complexity. With that said, you can't go wrong with this classic combo! Lastly, the KAITLYN MATCHA (the pistachio matcha) was absolutely delicious. It was on the sweeter side as well, but the salted pistachio pieces and pistachio cream softened the sweetness. The pistachio cream was thick and rich- it reminded me of the Starbucks pistachio cold foam, but better because it tasted much more natural. Since I'm a big fan of pistachios, I would also get this drink again if they offered it as a special (or permanent menu item)! In terms of atmosphere, the interior is super trendy and modern, which matches their aesthetic matcha colored sign and modern font. Indoor seating is limited as the cafe is quite small and tight. With all the customers lining up to order drinks and waiting for their drinks, it's not a place that i would personally want to hang around to study or work at, but it would be okay for a quick matcha chat. Project Matcha has a few outdoor tables for when it's nice outside, but because the sidewalks are narrow, you run into the same issue of having a line of people wrap around your table. If you're looking for matcha ceramicware to upgrade your home kitchen matcha, they sell matcha bowls from local artists in the corner next to the counter which are priced at about $55 on up. They do not sell any other matcha tools or matcha powder currently. Overall, Project Matcha exceeded my expectations and is worth the trip and wait if you love matcha: 5/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 4/5 for atmosphere read more

Food (5/5): We got the banana matcha and mango matcha drinks. It was very good and I really liked the banana foam on top of the matcha and the high quality of the matcha drinks. Service (4/5): The line was a bit long but got through fast. They said the strawberry matcha was out so we ordered other items, but in the banana matcha they let us order but they were missing some ingredients but didn't tell us until later and we didn't get the ingredients. Ambiance (4/5): Nice shop with decent amount of seating. Not the biggest area but cutely designed. I liked the significant amount of matcha setup. read more

Project Matcha is a fairly new cafe that opened in Portland. The inside is decorated in a minimal, but clean and cute aesthetic. There is seating available inside and outside. I am surprised that they close at 7PM, which I find to be on the later side for cafe places. There was a line that extended from inside to the outside of the door. It wasn't too long since it was moving rather quick. The employee that took my order was friendly and appeared to be quite cheery! I ordered a Matcha Blondie, Blueberry Lavender Matcha Latte, and a Double Matcha. I was influenced to get the Matcha Blondie since I saw another customer order a second one after they had one earlier! It was the perfect brownie texture! I liked both matcha drinks, but I preferred the Blueberry Lavender Matcha Latte. I like how customers are able to see the matcha making process. It was cool seeing my drink being made and see the different colors of the added ingredients being added to the matcha. read more

Am I God's favorite child? I only had to wait about 5 minutes to order--which, from what I've heard, is basically a miracle. After ordering, it took around 15 minutes to get my drink. To be fair, they do whisk the matcha right in front of you, which takes time and adds a nice touch. I went with the Matcha Einspänner, one of their signature drinks, since they were out of the strawberry (my first choice). I won't pretend to be a matcha expert, but this one didn't really hit the mark. The foam and overall flavor just weren't on par with what I've come to expect from a good matcha drink. The store has a minimalist vibe, and even though there's a lot of space, seating is oddly limited--clearly a design choice. It makes the crowd seem larger and more "in demand" with everyone standing around, instead of sitting comfortably. That said, the staff was really sweet, and the pricing? As expected--pretty wild. read more
