Not sure what taste the corn latte should be but has to be the worst tasting latte. Maybe the others claiming to be good must have their drinks made by someone else.

Love this place! The owner is so kind and accommodating. The matcha is high quality as are the fruit teas. Can't wait to return.

I go here afterschool with friends often and the owner is always so welcoming and accomodating. Once, I got a fruit tea with jelly and they forgot to add it, but afterwards the owner added a double scoop for me! I usually get the strawberry matcha latte because I really like their puree. The other drinks are nice too, they have a student discount for many items. Environment is always clean and quiet, studying here is good too!

Very generous servings for ice cream, the strawberry Matcha was very light and fruity.

lesson learned dont trust places with brown matcha 😔the matcha powder is bad quality. considering this is a cafe dedicated to matcha, there needs to be a good matcha powder used. the texture was good but all i could taste was milk tasted similar to a starbucks matcha.

Such a cute new matcha spot in downtown Pleasanton! The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. She took the time to talk with my daughter and I and made us feel so comfortable, which truly made the experience special. This is her first business, and she spent over a year perfecting her recipes, and you can absolutely taste the passion and care in every drink. They offer both classic matcha flavors and a few unique ones that are fun to try. Highly recommend supporting this wonderful small business!! Always happy to support passionate local entrepreneurs! 💚

I stopped by Machi Matcha in downtown Pleasanton and had such a lovely experience. The owner was incredibly kind and easy to talk to—despite it being close to closing time, she still took the time to chat and make me feel welcome. She even surprised me with a free sandwich, which was honestly so sweet and thoughtful.
I ordered a regular matcha latte with oat milk and matcha foam. The matcha flavor itself is on the lighter side, which I know some people have mentioned in other reviews as well. Personally, I didn’t mind—it was still enjoyable and smooth, and I can understand that as a new spot, they’re still finding their balance and style. I can definitely see the menu evolving and the matcha options getting stronger or more customizable over time.
The space itself is really cute and cozy—perfect for hanging out or studying. They also have adorable sandwich snacks, which were clearly popular because most of them were sold out by the time I arrived. The owner mentioned she’s already brainstorming new menu ideas, which makes me excited to come back.
Overall, this is such a nice addition to downtown Pleasanton. If you’re in the Pleasanton–Dublin–Livermore area and looking for a calm, welcoming spot to study, hang out, or just support a small business, this is definitely worth checking out 🤍

I like their food and drinks. They have limited quantities since they just started, so you might want to go early before they sell out.

The owner is kind and friendly, the drink is special and delicious, must try it !!!
Cute and aesthetic cafe. I tried the matcha latte and it tasted pretty good. Has a strong jasmine tea flavor. I recommend going early if you want to beat the crowd. Perfect place to chill or study. The owner is super sweet and outgoing as well. There's a restroom inside.

Not high quality matcha. Color is brown green and not vibrant.

★★★☆☆ I really wanted to like this place because the reviews hyped it up so much, but my experience ended up being pretty average. I ordered the potato egg salad bacon sando and the strawberry cream sando. Both tasted very run-of-the-mill. The potato salad sando honestly reminded me of a basic Safeway bucket potato salad — nothing unique or elevated — and the bread tasted like standard grocery-store bread. I was expecting something more special or at least different based on the hype. The strawberry cream sando was fine, but again, nothing memorable. The flavors didn’t stand out. I also tried the matcha ice cream, and that was another letdown. The color wasn’t vibrant at all — it looked more like green tea than real matcha — and the taste felt similar to the green tea ice cream you can get at Ranch 99. It didn’t have that rich, authentic matcha flavor. The place was extremely crowded, which made the experience feel unnecessarily hectic, especially given how average the food turned out to be. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. I had high expectations and walked away disappointed. Probably wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.
