Three Summers ago my family and I came to Chicago and there wasn't so much as a matcha cafe in sight. Now, so much matcha, so little time. Swipe through for my thoughts in each caption. 💚💋🍵
The cafe itself had the cutest decor. The matcha had no flavor and all I could taste was the almond milk.
Refreshing and not too sweet. The blueberry lemonade was the overarching flavor followed by the more bitter matcha. Perfect balance.
Just a strawberry matcha. Nothing special and not the best I've had.
This was an authentic Japanese spot with a premium matcha experience. They hand whisk it in front of you and explain how they make it. I picked up a few tips. The matcha was authentic and rich. Only oat and whole milk options.
Hand whisking and explaining the process in detail.
Not a huge fan on oat milk in matcha because I think it overpowers the flavor. Overall, this was the most authentic like you'd get in Japan.
Tbh, this was a basic coffee shop matcha but I loved the coffee shop itself. I made the mistake of agreeing that the syrup which was a sweetener. I don't like sweetened matcha so that knocked a star off.
The most underwhelming of all. Drinkable but basic. Not bad, but I had too many other really good ones to measure against.
This place has it all. The vibe, tbe energy, the neighborhood, the creative drinks, the community and a nice staff.
This was the most delicious matcha I would give this place 1000 stars if I could.
The place was bustling but they kept it moving and the staff was friendly despite the crowds and heavy drink orders.
An authentic matcha experience with a modern edge. Seriously the best matcha and experience I've had at a matcha cafe.
