Tea Master Matcha Cafe and Green Tea Shop

Matcha whisked with sencha

The house matcha here is not simply whisked green tea. It is matcha blended with sencha and sweetened lightly with beet syrup, served hot or cold, and it is the drink that explains the counter. Around it the list stays on tea rather than coffee: hot and cold green tea, a Matcha Oat Latte made with oat milk and honey syrup, a Houjicha Latte for roasted-tea depth, a Hakko-cha Latte, and a Matcha Smoothie when the order should be blended. The matcha is whisked fresh and ceremonial grade, and the loose leaf comes from Fukuoka and from small farms in Uji.

A small Little Tokyo room, half of it a shop

The room is small, quiet and calm, closer to a tea house than a fast-turnover coffee bar. You order inside, with time to look over the pots while you wait, because the other half of the business is retail: matcha powder, tea mixes, stirrers, teapots, bowls and the rest of the tea ware.

Bamboo accents, soft lighting and low wooden tables set the tone, and a few little tables outside take the overflow. The flow is simple and suits the neighbourhood: order a tea drink or a matcha sweet, look at the tea ware, then sit for a few minutes or carry on through Little Tokyo. This is a stop rather than a destination for the afternoon, and it works best treated that way. The Infatuation included it in its 2026 matcha guide.

Order the soft serve first, then the green tea

Start with the matcha soft serve. It is the most popular thing here and the most memorable, translating the tea programme into cold dessert without softening the flavour. Matcha mochi sits beside it, along with matcha-infused rice cakes and a house-made matcha mochi dusted with edible gold leaf. For the drink, go to the matcha green tea itself, ideally the house blend with sencha and beet syrup, which is the version worth crossing town for. The Matcha Oat Latte is the other signature, and Houjicha or Hakko-cha will take you in a different direction if roasted or fermented tea appeals. There is no savoury menu to speak of, so the strongest order pairs soft serve or mochi with whichever tea you want to taste properly.
