I ordered the matchacano with an extra shot because I like a strong matcha flavor and it was pretty good. Maybe it was just my drink but I felt it tasted sort of powdery/grainy. I want to come back to try the matcha latte! Cafe had limited seating so definitely seems more takeout oriented.

We've been here multiple times and its one of my girlfriend's favorite spots to get matcha from as they're very consistent. Today there was only one young woman working the front and there were literally 20+ people inside and she stayed composed and made everyone's drinks and didn't falter. I hope she isn't left alone like that again, but definitely props to her. Definitely worth the wait.

Accidentally ordered here instead of my usual location, totally my mistake. Even though they'd already made my drinks, the staff were super understanding and helped me sort it out. Really appreciate how kind and flexible they were. Great customer service!

I have always enjoyed Cere Tea and love their matcha. They always have prompt service and when I ordered for pickup to the wrong location, they graciously remade my order at the location i had arrived at. I recommend Ceré to anyone looking for a good matcha in the bay :)

If you like matcha latte, you ought to try this place. Their matcha latte reminds me of the super strong matcha ice cream I had at a well known tea house at Kyoto. I can tell they use premium quality of matcha powder to make their drinks. I usually order matcha latte with extra shot, 50% sweetness.

Hidden gem near Westgate mall. Tried the Earl Grey Matcha Latte with 75% sweetness and it tasted perfectly balanced—light and fresh, matcha didn’t overwhelm the drink. Atmosphere is nice and clean, just a little small. Can’t wait to try more flavors!

the matcha einspanner itself is very good but a few things they can improve
Ordering on only a kiosk is very slow. People take a long time looking at everything and there are a lot of customizations to go through
When I selected the matcha einspanner, 75% sweet was already selected. Is that the recommended sweetness level? They should say what is recommended. Usually 100% is regular sweet. I wanted to ask but there wasn’t anyone to ask.
The einspanner is a super small amount
The sugar in my drink was not mixed at all, it was all sitting on the bottom
I would definitely get it again but I will try the milpitas location next time.

Their coffee and matcha Einspänner’s are good.

I stop by at Cere every few weeks for their sunny side up matcha einspanner.
I’m not a matcha purist, which is why I gravitate to this menu item the most — it’s creamy and sweet (when you hit the mango chunks) which really cuts the earthy bitterness of the green leaf. Plus, the “sunny side up” presentation is just delightful.

Really great matcha flavor and enjoyed the creaminess that the einspanner added to the drink. It wasn’t too sweet and the matcha truly shined! Easily one of the best matchas I’ve had in South Bay. Ordering is completed on the tablet/kiosk and drinks were made with care. Small seating area inside - the lobby can get crowded quite quickly.

I visited Cere Tea on a Saturday around 3 pm and there was a line. It took 20 minutes for us to order and receive our drinks. I got a black sesame einspanner at 25% sweetness and really enjoyed it. The coffee flavor was there but not overpowering or bitter. You can definitely taste the black sesame which loved! I'd definitely come back here just for that drink, but will likely order online next time to avoid the wait.

The matcha latte here is truly outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. It has a rich, creamy texture with a bold grassy flavor, balanced by a light bitterness and subtle nuttiness that speaks to the quality of the matcha they use. They’re generous with the portion and matcha content, making it an excellent value for the price. The interior is sleek, minimal, and very clean, though the space is a bit small. The employees are extremely friendly, and service is consistently fast and smooth, which really elevates the whole experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Really impressive. The little cream dollop was beautiful. Oat + 50% sugar was perfect. We also agreed that it tastes like izumi if izumi used a more neutral sweetener

Flavors are great but not exceptional. Five stars for how unique and aesthetic the drinks are!
