I love their drinks. Not too sweet and with good depth and balance of flavor. It is really difficult to find matcha lattes here that taste close to what they have in Japan because although matcha drinks are ubiquitous in the bay area, most matcha drinks are way too sugary and the matcha tastes bad. I'm glad I can go here to get a semblance of what I'd get in Japan.

Matcha crepe! Uncommon to find. You can also have mini Mochi balls in your crepe to further the Japanese twist in this modern snack. How unique and lovely is that. The menu is also expansive with other unique Japanese treats like fresh fruits Mochi, Mochi ice cream, Hojicha lattes, with authentic matcha from Kagoshima - latte, crepe, ice cream, Mochi - in any form you could imagine. Its a boutique stand right next to the entrance of the beloved Japanese Bookstore, Kinokuniya. So there you have it, grab a wonderful treat - a hot Hojicha or a satisfying matcha crepe freshly made to order - to wrap your Japanese bookstore trip, in warmth and in awe.

This review is for Haileys excellent service. Today I got a cheese foam matcha drink and didnt come back til 50 minutes later. Hailey notified me that it has been too long and she has to remake for me. Despite her coworker is on lunch break, she is making crepes, drinks, and on the register taking orders. She made the drink in a short period of time. The cheese foam matcha I ordered is light on ice and I dont remember I specified the sweet level but it is just right. Matcha flavor is really strong and the cheese foam amount is just right. Will definitely come back.
