Located in a quiet area of town, Matcha-Ya is a landmark for both regular matcha drinkers and curious onlookers, providing an atmosphere that is equal parts traditional and contemporary. The matcha latte is more than just another menu item at Matcha-Ya; it's a sincere call to slow down, take a sip, and enjoy the moment.
Matcha-Ya uses only the highest quality matcha, sourced from Japan's verdant tea farms, so that every latte begins with the emerald powder that is famous for its health benefits and long history of use. The earthy aromas and inherent bitterness of this ceremonial-grade matcha harmonize well with the creamy, silky texture of expertly heated milk, thanks to its faultless whisking. The matcha in Matcha-Ya's latte is bold and intense, yet the milk is mild and sweet, creating a harmonious blend that is truly unique. Matcha lattes have a depth of taste that is irresistible, with its calming, zen-like purity.

A customer reviews "I visited Matcha-Ya on Saturday, the 21st of December, 2024, for an afternoon snack and enjoyed an excellent Ice Matcha Latte and a large Passionfruit Mango Kakigori, enough for 3-4 people. The total came to $29.80 without any extra charges for credit card payment, and the service was swift and friendly. Impressed by the experience, I gave it five stars and plan to return" which leaves a good impression of the cafe.

So the next time you find yourself yearning for a break or a bit of inspiration, step into Matcha-Ya. Discover the rich, complex flavors of their matcha latte and let each sip transport you to a world where every moment is worth savoring. At Matcha-Ya, it’s more than just a drink; it’s a ritual, a moment of zen in your hands.
