    I have to say, that when cafes ask you to pick out the matcha, I tend to be disappointed. I wish that cafes would just preset their base matcha but I get the business model. I wasn't wowed by their matcha, but it wasnt the worst I've ever had. Just a tad over hyped. I do want to try soft serve next time thought. They only serve it during certain hours of the day and we had came just right after the cut off.

    I can see why there is always a line for this matcha spot! Many variations of matcha drinks, including different bases (coconut water, americano style, milk) and flavor (yuzu miso, strawberry, honey lemon, tiramisu etc) They also have crepes and soft serves available. The coco matcha cloud was refreshing. It was also slightly creamy and sweet from the matcha foam on top. The matcha tiramisu was creamy from the addition of mascarpone cream. It was the perfect kick of caffeine disguised as a sweet dessert. For this drink, it comes with your choice of matcha. There were over 5 varieties of matcha with various unami, earthy notes, bitterness levels etc. Great spot for a matcha! There aren't many seats to sit and chat with friends -- 2 thin wooden benches inside and 2 tables outside. Ordering is through a single kiosk.

    With all the new matcha spots in the bay, there's tough competition for a sweet treat. Yume Mori definitely hits the spot :) It's a small shop with a couple of tables/chairs outside and kiosks to order from in store. Ordering was pretty quick but one unique thing is that you're able to pick what kind of matcha or hojicha you want. I liked that each of the teas had tasting notes next to the menu so you know what you're choosing. I ordered a matcha float and it was so yummy. The matcha was earthy and a tad bitter but the soft serve sweetened it perfectly. The soft serve had a strong matcha flavor but was more on the sweet side and had an icy consistency (my fave lol)

    I am visiting from Hawaii and decided to try this Matcha spot. First things first, parking is limited. You will be lucky if you land a parking spot, which we did. This place was obviously a popular spot because the traffic was busy and there was a line. When you get inside, it's very minimalistic. They have an ordering pad and I ended up getting the Matcha Tiramisu. The wait is about 5-7 minutes for your drink. Once I received my drink, all I could say is WOW. That drink was crazy good! It was topped with biscoff cookie which balanced out the earthy taste. Overall, I would come back here again. 5/5 recommend!

    I was very impressed with their different matcha options including their dessert! You would have to self order through the tablet but staff is always there for any questions if needed. I had taken their recommendation and tried their matcha powder (yuga). Tried their specialty of their YuzuMiso Matcha - unique and refreshing. I also really enjoying their matcha crepe (Ichigo) that came with cream and strawberry. Truly a classic and I wouldn't want it in any other way. I would definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area

    Had such high hopes, it's sooo inconsistent. Especially for almost $9 per drink for such a small cup. I'm guessing 12-14 oz. We ordered two Tiramisu Matchas, one was very yummy thick and the matcha was strong. The other matcha was on the watery side and barely any cream. (We paid extra for Koku matcha, which is 50 cents more for a "stronger" matcha) We also purchased the double matcha with Koku matcha, which you'd think would be the strongest matcha flavor. Wrong! It was incredibly watered down, we also got less sweet for this drink. It tasted like syrup and oatmilk. The matcha cream is very light matcha as well. We also arrived at 4:40 and it took a while to be able to order because there was a line. Once we reached the kiosk it turned exactly 5:00 which is when they stopped serving crepes, we asked if we were able to purchase one but they said no so we were a little bummed out as well :( Customer service was not the best, they stopped calling numbers out so we were just waiting for nothing! I asked a few questions and it felt like I was a burden. The store itself is incredibly warm and tiny. Not their fault since the sun is facing the store but just another note. Verdict: Not worth the money, the drive, when Binge Coffee is around the corner and there's so many other matcha places all in the same vicinity.

    Came on a sunday and there was a line. Ordered a drink and a crepe. Expected to wait a while but everything was ready after 10 mins. Crepe Ichigo (2/5) The crepe included strawberry bits, whipped cream, matcha custard, strawberry sauce. I mostly tasted whipped cream and nothing else. The crepe seemed undercooked. Matcha Kumo (5/5) Made with miki matcha powder, matcha cream, water and less sweet (5g). It was super smooth and a balanced flavor profile. Slightly umami, slightly sweet with no bitterness. Definitely worth it for the matcha drinks.

    Ok this place is delicious. Matcha quality is top tier. I actually love this place. This is my top 3 in California. I don't know my film order yet... Easy street parking all around!!!! The hours are pretty short though. They close at 6pm :( no indoor seating. A few tables outside. 9/10 would go again. 10/10 wish the cups were bigger. My complaint... - no restroom - the size of the cups are tiny. TINY. It's like 5 sips for $7.95 I can not. - plastic utensils and cups. This is Berkeley... let's move to compostables

    ichigo matcha latte
    Jade L.

    Yume Mori is yet another matcha café that's been on my list of places to try. My friend and I stopped by about an hour before closing, and there was no line! There was only one couple in front of us, so we barely had to wait to order from the in-store kiosks. I got the ichigo matcha latte with oat milk (no extra charge ftw!) and the miki matcha powder, which I selected because it was the least bitter of the lineup. The drink was perfect in every way! The matcha was strong (not bitter at all), and the strawberries were the freshest I've had, so my drink seemed really gourmet. Not much seating inside and too sunny outside, so my friend and I stood off to the side to sip our matcha. We had to leave at 6pm when they closed, but by that time we finished, so it worked out. I wouldn't want to stand in one of the slow queues I've seen before in passing by, but I think it's worth it if there's none!

    We loved it!! Their drinks are creative and their matches delish. They have different matchas you can choose from as well which was fun to pair with the different drinks. Our favorite was the biscoff matcha and matcha lemonade! It can get busy on the weekends. We went on a Sunday at 2pm and waited about 30 mins.

    tiramisu matcha, peppermint matcha latte
    Ashlee L.

    Yay finally got to try Berkeley matcha!! This little cafe was soo adorable and the matcha was solid :) I was scared that the tiramisu matcha would be way too sweet even with 0 sugar but it wasn't!! The matcha flavor was really strong and bitter so the cream top actually complimented it really well. Also when the biscoff cookie melted and blended into the drink it tasted SO GOOD. My bf got their peppermint matcha which was their holiday special but it lowk just tasted like peppermint syrup milk lol. Effort was there tho!

    Definitely the most unique Matcha drink place that I have ever visited. They have so many different types of Matcha and Hojicha. that customers are free to make their own customizations depending on different notes and aspects of the tea. The ambiance is very chill but not many seats inside. I did enjoyed the experience and the seasonal mango matcha drink I got. Interesting flavor combo Recommended for any matcha and Hojicha enthusiasts!

    Eva C.

    Great matcha! I tried the matcha latte and chose shizuoka, which has notes of umami and seaweed. It was smooth and strong, which I liked. I thought their drinks were well-made. They also have crepes, but it sold out before we could get them, so will come back to try it next time!

I've tried the Uji matcha latte ($6.95) and genmaicha latte ($6.75). The Uji matcha latte was grassy, but still smooth and strong. I think I would've liked just a little more depth and richness, but it's still a drink I'd happily order again. I also tried the genmaicha latte, which was less sweet than the Uji matcha. I really liked how the toasted, nutty flavor of the genmaicha balanced the sweetness, though I thought it slightly overpowered the matcha. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their drinks. I definitely want to try their black sesame matcha next! The cafe has a calm, minimalist aesthetic with limited seating, including a high table where you can watch the drinks being made. They use oat milk by default, although there isn't currently an option to substitute whole milk. There's a small parking lot, with additional street parking available in the surrounding residential area. Overall, I've really enjoyed my visits here and think Forest Tea Bar is a great addition to Berkeley's matcha scene. Definitely worth checking out if you like more tea-forward drinks!

    Love Artis Coffee!…read more My wife and I haven't been on Fourth Street Berkeley in a long long time! Thankfully while doing some shopping and after a great meal at Divan Restaurant a few block away we popped into Artis Coffee. Wow! It was after 4 pm but what the hell, I ordered a cappuccino and my wife order a defca cappuccino, several pastries and took in the HUGE space! Our cashier was very friendly and appreciated our humor and debate on whether to have a "decaffeinated" cappuccino or not. I convince my wife to order one and she loved loved loved it! My "hi test" cappuccino was spectacular, smooth and perfect! Honestly, It took me back to Roma where we had aour honeymoon 22 years ago! Bella!

    Artis Coffee was okay…read more I had an Ube Latte, 12 oz, iced, with matcha and oat milk ($8.50 plus $2 tip) and it was good. Artis opened on December 7, 2013 and is located on the northern end of the Fourth Street Shops (a.k.a. Fourth Street Berkeley). This is a fairly spacious cafe with an industrial/warehouse, minimalist look. During my afternoon visit, it was busy inside and out on the covered patio. Lots of people on their laptops. Artis roasts their own coffee. Service was fine. I got a side eye from the cashier/barista when I asked where the water station was (it was my first time and I was unfamiliar with this place), but they were nice and polite otherwise. The water pressure at the self-serve faucet was too strong and sprayed water everywhere. Good for a coffee fix if you're in the area.

That, however, shouldn't detract from the personalized experience you'd likely receive with how small the coffee bar is. If you're expecting something more permanent this coffee shop is more like a temporary coffee cart that has roots in the back corner of this gift shop On the whole this place despite the hidden location has folks very much eager to bring specialty coffee to anybody interested. They have a large selection of relatively high end coffee in the likes of Geisha from Panama and Ethiopian coffees. Additionally, they're the only place I've ever seen across the US that is showcasing any coffee grown in China which is nice to see as that allows more exploration into how the terroir affects the taste of coffee For my first time here I came with a small group of coffee enthusiasts so we tried a selection of their Alo Main Station (notes of Sweet Orange, Bergamont, and Peach Oolong Tea), Finca Santa Maria (notes of Cherry, Mango, and Berry Jam), and Lerida Loma Washed (notes of White Floral, Mandarin Orange, and Longan) Each cup was uniquely different from each other but arguably the most enjoyed was their cheapest option in the Alo Main Station at $9. Each cup seemed completely different and may seem pretentious to say but they did have sweeter notes that you'd be very unlikely to taste from your well known coffee chains. This place definitely caters to the coffee enthusiasts in a way where even my group wasn't quite near the level of but it had a great atmosphere, nice outdoor seating, and staff who were very passionate about their craft If anything, I would probably come back as they do elevate coffee for those who are unaware of coffee coming from China but that coffee doesn't need to taste bitter, burnt, or chocolatey. The cups here were more like tasting a mellowed fruit juice but it just happens to be coffee. That said, unless you are eager to try specialty coffee this place may seem overpriced as their pour overs are between $9 - $25 which heavily differs from most other coffee shops. Having Masterpiece provide a glimpse of the specialty coffee scene within the Bay Area is still a welcome blessing as it has a similar vibe to specialty coffee shops you'd experience in Asia
