This is the BEST Matcha and Hojicha place in BC and I have been to quite a few. The matcha they use literally tastes exactly like the matcha I tried from Uji. Very rich and delicious. I highly recommend this place. The owners are sweet and the staff are amazing.

The matcha soft serve is really delicious, the matcha flavour is strong! The spot is a little small though so it’s not a good place to dine in with a group of people.

What a tasty matcha soft! Super thick and concentrated matcha taste. Likely the best in town. Reasonable price too. I’ll come again for sure.

I’ve come here a few times and I would have to say this is in my top 2 for matcha and hojicha drinks! The place is small so it’s best to get takeout since seats are very limited. Highly recommend!

Good execution but what you would expect. If you are in the mood for matcha you will leave happy.

Really great customer service! I don't know what the female cashier's name was but she was smiling brightly when we entered and exited!

Got the mixed soft serve matcha + hojicha cone. Hojicha was overpowering the matcha a bit but we liked that it was strong. We will definitely come back to try other menu items.

I stopped by to get my free birthday cone. My birthday fell on a Monday (closed), so they allowed me to either come in the day before or the day after. Remember to bring ID!

Sprinkled with matcha powder on top, and the icecream itself was smooth, earthy, and not overly sweet. Nice touch to be given a spoon as well.

Cute shop, but not much seating available. The receptionist on the day that I went was very smiley and welcoming.

I got the matcha soft serve, and wow it was incredible! The flavour was rich, velvety, and perfectly balanced between that deep earthy bitterness and smooth sweetness that you expect from high quality matcha. I was a bit hesitant at first since it was already 7 p.m., and the barista kindly suggested I try the hojicha instead since it has much less caffeine. I told her I’d never had hojicha before, so she explained that it’s a roasted green tea with a warm, toasty flavour almost nutty, with hints of caramel. She must’ve noticed I was still unsure, because she offered me a small sample to try, which was such a thoughtful touch.

To my surprise, it was really good! The hojicha had this cozy, roasted aroma and a smooth, mellow taste. Totally different from matcha but in a comforting, dessert-like way. I’d always heard mixed things about hojicha and avoided it because of that, but thanks to the barista’s kindness (and that sample!), I’m definitely going to be more adventurous with my tea choices.

10/10 recommend this place. The service, the quality, and the flavours are all amazing. I can’t wait to come back and try the Earl Grey matcha next!
