Amazing matcha shop! Such great options and friendly staff. They always have fun seasonal options.

Delicious matcha tea latte (with lavender!) and matcha soft serve (this was like heaven). Tea lovers descend and try it out!

Cute cafe in Lawrenceville, has lots of tables and natural lighting making it a great place to study and do work. Street parking is also easy to find. Service is great. The first time I went, I thought the matcha was a bit bland. However, another friend recommended me to get it with the vanilla flavor and I enjoyed the drink a lot more. Can't say it's the best matcha ever but it's pretty good. I'd come back anyways just for the nice study environment.

Amazing concept and amazing drinks! I can't wait to keep coming here over and over again. The variety of matcha options are incredible - and no upcharge for nondairy milk as that is their default! Felt so great and refreshed after my drink!

I'm so excited that there's a match soft serve in town! If you love matcha, this is the place to go! This is also a cute lil place to study or do work. I love the fact that there's little domo kun placed everywhere in the shop.

Pure, signature, seasonal, cookie, soft serve matcha, oh my! A friend and I got the matcha twist soft serve (dairy-free) and it was delicious! The staff who waited on us was awesome. A minimalist style design, there is plenty of space to order all things matcha at the counter and also shop for matcha and other curated specialty food items before either sitting down to enjoy at one of the handful of tables or take it with you on the go. If you are a fan of matcha, this is a must visit!

We are visiting Pittsburgh & this was an impromptu stop for a warm drink. We only expected to pop in & out, but this tea bar is immensely calming: Live plants, lights, soothing music. The gentleman who made our drinks was friendly, answered questions, and made the BEST matcha latte I've ever had. And I'm an everyday matcha drinker. It was so warm, balanced, and comforting. The golden apple cider was also perfectly sweet, spiced, and warm. We decided to sit & stay for awhile because we were enjoying the experience so much. 10/10 small business!

Stumbled upon this shop because seeing the word matcha caught my attention and it seemed very cute inside! They have matcha in many forms here. Soft serve, smoothies, tea, etc. I got a regular hot matcha latte with almond milk. I sometimes find matcha lattes challenging because sometimes it just tastes like the milk it's paired with. I didn't find that to be the case here. The flavor of matcha shone through, it was smooth and not bitter at all. They clearly have very good quality matcha, I really enjoyed it.Cute decor inside too.

It's the cookie tour weekend and I tried their recovery matcha latte (with almond milk) and the matcha cookie. Best matcha latte ever, highly recommend!And the matcha cookie was amazing, it has the candy cane sprinkles on top, so adorable - i wish they do it as a regular item on the pastry menu!

I love all of the matcha options to try! The owner and staff are so nice. I wanted my cookie warmed up and they heated it. Yummy small snacks too. Good place for me to study and relax. Pretty and clean area!!
Absolutely love the aesthetic of this place. It's a great place to get some work done or have a quiet conversation the Tea and Other drink options are very nice. They do not have any coffee but if you are a coffee drinker I recommend you give something a try or speak to the Barista because there's something for everyone. Staff is friendly.

Great place to study, meet you with friends or get work done. Lattes with Matcha are delicious ( I don't even drink Matcha and enjoyed it! ) I don't drink Matcha but the place was cute and I came in. The owner helped make me something that I was comfortable with and I loved it! Will be back!

Stopped in here to pick up some dessert for company and got some white chocolate chip matcha cookies. They were equal parts delicious (chewy, soft, not overly sweet) and beautiful (the green and white was ). I arranged them on a pretty plate just for a Yelp picture/review because that's what they deserved!

So, I just got back to Pittsburgh after a week in San Francisco. The highlight of my trip there was the Japan Town & the Matcha shop that served soft serve matcha ice cream. I was very sad thinking I'd never get to enjoy matcha soft serve for a really long time. I even considered buying my own ice cream machine to make it myself .. so needless to say, thank goodness I found this place. The soft serve is light creamy and wonderful.. it's non dairy which is a bonus too! I got it twisted with vanilla. I also ordered an energy matcha it is mixed with some other teas for an extra kick. I also purchased my own matcha to take home with me. Matcha is so good for you! It has healing properties, it's great for your skin! I love the focused non jittering energy it gives me. So it's worth it to me to find a quality product. A quality matcha should be bright green and have a smooth taste. They definitely deliver here. The summit matcha they offer is ceremonial grade. The leaves are imported from Japan and the are ground in the store. Doesn't get much fresher! Look at the photo you can see the differ between the organic one I bought at Giant eagle $20 and the Summit one from here $35. I thought the price was super reasonable for how high quality it is.

Really cute place to get matcha with friends! They have a lot of matcha drink options including health fusions (Ex. Yerba mate) ! Food notes: - Matcha recharge: I liked how smooth this was but I didn't feel the matcha caffeine I usually get with matcha drinks. - matcha latte: Average ! Not as strong as I would like it though. - Matcha cookie: this was good and I would get again! - miso sesame biscuit: I love the flavor combination of this and I would get again! It is on the drier side but a great snack.
