This place is very lovely. Super chill, zen. They even have a little water fountain on the side, super tranquil, love it! The macha is made fresh, the store is air conditioned (because who can drink macha in this heat!?). Great spot to get your drink, chill a bit and recover.
One of the best matcha spots in the Bay Area. Great matcha, great ambiance, and amazing customer service. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Matcha is high quality. Default with Oat Milk and sweetness is just right! I also tried their rose infused syrup, comes with some tea aroma and sweetness.

Forest Tea Bar is a clean, aesthetic spot in downtown Berkeley that offers a variety of tea drinks, including hojicha, matcha, and tea lattes. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a pleasant smell of tea filling the air. The staff are friendly and do the tea preparation right in front of customers, which adds to the authentic experience. Their hojicha is highly praised for its rich flavor and perfect sweetness, making it one of the standout items. The matcha, including uji matcha and roasted matcha, is also enjoyed for its good flavor, though the hojicha tends to be more favored. Tea lattes are customizable with options like hot or cold, oat or cashew milk, and sweeteners such as maple syrup, though availability may vary. Drinks take time to prepare, especially since each is whisked individually, but watching the process is satisfying. Because of long wait times during busy periods, it’s recommended to order ahead and explore downtown Berkeley while waiting. Despite limited seating, Forest Tea Bar provides a unique, authentic tea experience with high-quality, flavorful drinks.
