$9 with tax per drink is crazy!!! 2 plain matcha and hojicha lattes (no mods, both hot) was $25. quality is definitely there but it is so expensive. cafe was quite busy, and seating was a little tight. otherwise a good experience.

Matcha texture was good but flavor was awful. They are using expired tea leaves, bitterness and grassiness only slightly better than Starbucks for 10 dollars. No thank you.

Crowded for standing room and not very pretty. Almost ordered the matcha but couldn’t do it for $8.50. Didn’t wait long for orders though! Not much of a condiments bar—with no milk or cream—just sugar. I had to put the lids on myself and I chose wrong because they’re not labeled for drink size. My iced coffee was so strong and so bitter I couldn’t really drink it. Our salmon bagel was good!

One of the cutest cafe experiences I've ever had... The cafe was VERY packed with people but it had a lot of fun seating (communal tables, two-tops and tiered seating!!) and a really gorgeous menu of Japanese lattes, brunch food and sweets/pastries!
The hojicha latte had so much body and depth I was almost reminded of black sesame. The latte art was really gorgeous as well. I really liked it! The latte paired incredibly well with the houjicha cake slice, which came with strawberry, coffee jelly, a raspberry syrup and vanilla ice cream. The cake slice was the ideal level of mildly sweet, which was enhanced by all of the added components -- the fruity sweetness of the raspberry syrup, the creaminess of the vanilla, the tartness of the strawberry and the bitterness of the jelly. It felt like such a luxurious dessert experience!
Ideal for a fun afternoon date or a sweet pick-me-up!

Ogawa is really good for matcha or hot lattes! I think their iced lattes aren’t the best but their overall quality of drinks is great. We got the sea salt latte and it was a 6/10. The seating is limited but love their interior.

I honestly want to love this Kyoto coffee house. However the service at this shop is just horrible, especially one of their staff who takes your order. It’s very difficult to talk to her, and she constantly gives you this confusing look that you’re very much bothering her, while in fact you were just asking if they have folk and knife (that she didn’t give you in the first place when you ordered pastries and inconvenient to eat). All in all this reception service is probably one of the worst I’ve had. The other staffs were fine. And I do like their latte and honjicha latte. 4/5 for their coffee and drinks, 1 for the service.

I come most of the time to ogawa coffee and I always get Vietnamese coffee, as of my knowledge it comes only in one size cus its very strong and I asked that question on my first time getting it. So today I came as usual ordered Vietnamese coffee the lady at the register was huh huh like she didnt understand my accent. I have an accent but it is understandable. So then she asked what size I said I dont know usually it comes in one size she kept saying with the look of her face huh huh and I repeated myself three times till she told me in a very rude way I cant hear you, then I had to yell and tell her that I always get it and it comes only in one size I dont like to yell cus my voice is loud if I yell all of the staff and customers hear me which is happend . Please i understand some people cant understand people with accent but please you don't have to be rude about it. I have been working in customer service for my entire life different fields I know exactly what a perfect customer service and today it was not great from the cashier the other staff is good

We tried this unique coffee shop from Kyoto, Japan last year and couldn't wait to return! Return we did, making it to the spot 5 minutes before close on the last day of our visit! Last year, I could quickly double park right outside and run in but the logistics changed... This time I parked across the street in a tow away zone. All good!
The staff were very gracious in making two lattes for my wonderful wife. I ordered one smoked maple like last year plus a new salted caramel pumpkin! She liked them both!
Alicia helped secure the drinks to ensure I could carry them both across the store and street without spilling a drop! The latte art was exquisite, so we got a nice picture before covering the drinks for the journey. Thank you, Alicia, for your kind, friendly and professional service!
We look forward to returning next time we are within an hour or two of Boston! Life is good with excellent unique coffee!
The coffee was absolutely perfect on taste and presentation. Don’t expect friendly staff or comfy seating tho.

Very long wait on the weekend and the coffee is tasty but not worth the 20-30 min wait (wasn’t even that crowded). Wish they could maybe share the waittime upfront because based on the number of people I wouldn’t have expected the wait to be that long
