Stopped in here for a quick break on my day trip to Victoria and had the most lovely experience. The staff were so lovely and even helped me figure out the busses in the city and how to get to the ferry terminal ! I had the matcha with Canadian maple syrup which was delicious ! Highly recommend stopping by.

The owner here did a demonstration of how to properly prepare the perfect matcha. I could FEEL the antioxidants the rest of the day, and it’s not a buzz like coffee. It’s an honest, feel good LIFT. I’m hooked.

Amazing vegan goodies!

The place is easy to miss while walking past some of the flashier stores/restaurants, but once inside, is very pleasant. Decor is cute and atmosphere comfortable. The menu is very extensive and has lots of flavor choices beyond just plain matcha (e.g. lavender, caramel, yuzu). Despite this, I ordered a plain iced matcha as I was sort of in a hurry. But sadly, I was very disappointed by the drink. It was extremely milky and barely tasted like matcha. Plus, grainy clumps of matcha sat at the bottom of the drink which tells me it was not whisked properly. Not to mention that fact it was quite pricey. However, I did notice many people who enjoyed their drinks in the reviews got hot beverages, so maybe I just ordered poorly. I'd be up to giving it another chance because of my love for matcha, although was not pleased with my initial experience.

I had this in 2021 but just had to post it because MY GOD was this so yummy. It was perfectly light and delicious. The matcha kitkat was just the cherry on top with the crunch texture. It's not overly sweet so one person can definitely finish the whole thing without feeling awful afterwards. The place had cute decorations inside so it's perfect for food reviewers looking for photo ops. It's nice and clean plus you can use the bathroom. Service was quick and good.

Green tea, matcha latte, and lots of other options to keep your green tea exciting. I got the matcha ice cream and would recommend this. The waffle cone did start dripping from the bottom while we were eating it.. that just means you got to eat it fast

This was a stop as part of Andy’s guided food and history tour of Victoria. Had a mini caramel soy matcha latte here. Delicious! Never had matcha before and was pretty impressed to hear about the health benefits. Also, had no idea how to prepare or use it so being shown the tea ceremony at the time was quite interesting. Enjoyed our latte’s and purchased some to take home and try for ourselves. If we had more time in town, would have gone back to try something else (ice cream anyone).
Stopped by after visiting friends in Oak Bay. A straight run across Pandora to Government Road and next to Fan Tan Alley is this great little shop ‘Just Matcha.’ We both had matcha lattes, mine straight up and my wife chose a maple flavoured matcha. Beautifully blended and delicious. They offer more matcha items than I expected including matcha lemonade and matcha affogato for us non-coffee drinkers. Pleasant surroundings offering gift items, ice cream, treats and baked goods. You can make your own origami creations while you enjoy your drink or wait for your bus. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and out front and the shop was busy for a late afternoon. Friendly host to answer your questions. On street metered parking and parking lots nearby. This is their only location currently. Open most days 11-5, Friday and Saturday till 6 and Sunday 12-5.

At this store, the barista mixed Matcha powder with water, then diluted into about 80% lemondade. It was delicious and supposedly full of antioxidants. One can buy (for about $1 per future-prepped drink) the premium grade Matcha powder to mix up at home.

This place has terrible low quality matcha. Matcha latte was mostly milk. Union Pacific has way better matcha, just go there instead.Hire more than one employee so one person doesn't have to rush making drinks and take orders.

The vanilla lavender matcha with oat milk was amazing. Got it hot. Lovely. I'm sure there's a ton of sugar in it with the strips but it was a nice treat.
