Drinks: my raspberry matcha latte was delicious! Everyone else loved their drinks. None of us tried any food items so I can only speak on the drinks Ambiance: Came here for a mid day pick me up at 4pm on a Saturday with a group of 7. Our drinks came out so quickly and there was plenty of empty seating. Loved all the decor Service: Matcha Cita is cafe style so you order at the register. The cashier was very kindTLDR: cute cafe, yummy matcha, nice employees

Very cute interior, but the drinks were just okay considering they were about $8 after tax. I got the Matcha Horchata this visit and it was definitely more horchata than matcha - which was not bad, just unexpected! If you want a strong matcha, this might not be the ideal spot.A big highlight is the docor and friendly staff here! They're really quick at making drinks too. A lot of people seem to do work here. Lots of seating.

My friends and I visited this place to satisfy our matcha fix, but we're still not sure if it hit the mark.First, the positives: the shop is beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed outing.However, the service left much to be desired. Everything took an unusually long time, and while the workers were friendly, the delay made us wonder if they were understaffed.As for the drinks, they were a bit of a letdown. I ordered the pistachio matcha latte, which had a nice pistachio flavor, but it tasted watered down and lacked both matcha and pistachio intensity. The strawberry latte, oddly enough, was even less sweet. It needed more strawberry flavor and matcha concentrate to be enjoyable.The food was another point of contention. It took over 30 minutes for our avocado toast and croissant to arrive. The bruschetta avocado toast had a generous amount of avocado but lacked flavor, and the toast could have been more toasted. The croissants were slightly raw in the middle, which didn't bother me much, but it might not be to everyone's taste.In summary, while the shop is cute and has potential, I think I'll explore other matcha shops before considering a return visit.

Let me preface by saying I came here a year ago and had a fine experience and decent smoothie (3.5/5 stars). Remembered it fondly enough, so figured I'd grab a smoothie after a workout class.Paid $13 for the pitaya smoothie. First time I tried to put my straw in, there was a giant chunk of something frozen to the point the straw completely bent. I asked the woman there if she could possibly blend it more since the frozen bit was taking up 50% of the cup. She seemed annoyed and said that she had only left small frozen chunks in it, but took it back and blended it more. I thought there were still some chunks in it but didn't want to bug her more, but was surprised when I drank my smoothie and half the cup was full of ice cubes. Now, I'd understand if this was like a cheap smoothie--but this is part of what this place specializes in! At least McDonald's and Panera blend their smoothies. Using ice for bulk and not even blending it reflects poorly on this business.And after seeing her prepare matcha for another group that came in...let's just say maybe Sawada up the street is a better bet (& will save you from paying $6 for a cup of scalded milk and barely any matcha).I hate to blast a small business, but this place really went downhill past. The decor is cute, but if you're going to charge that much for drinks, they should at least be able to beat Panera.

The oat milk in my matcha added a nice sweetness & slight thickness to the grassy matcha. As someone who does prefer their drinks on a slightly sweeter side I thought this drink was perfect, and even better when the matcha is mixed in with the milk. The matcha was whisked in which made my drink smoother.

Calling all matcha lovers! Cute little matcha shop inside a boutique fitness studio. Small to medium menu with some popular seasonal drinks to select from. Food menu probably included 3-4 items at most but I wasn't about to pay for an overpriced avocado toast, I just wanted matcha. Service was ok, the matcha shop was really clean, restroom was really clean, and prices were just fine. I love to make matcha at home but traveling limits that for me so I'm happy I found a cute and tasty little matcha shop.

This place is so cute, aesthetics are over the top, but the drinks were a disappointment. This was a shock and surprise, because we were looking forward to a good matcha latte. The strawberry matcha latte had a little bit more matcha tea taste, but the one with oat milk was just straight up milk. They also only had one server working and so the drinks took a while as we were on a time crunch. Coming from CA, where there's an abundance of matcha drinks/places, this was a let down given how pretty it looks on the inside!

My friend and I were craving matcha and walked into this cute little cafe. The decor is SO cute - everything is pink and perfect for photos. I love the amount of effort they put into this little space. The girl at the register was so sweet and helped me figure out what I should drink. She put a lot of time and effort into our drinks, making sure to whisk the matcha to perfect. I got the matcha horchata along with a beef and cheddar empanada. The beef and cheddar empanada was crispy and had a great flavorful, although it was just a tad cold in the middle. The matcha horchata was perfect!!! I'm not even a huge matcha fan, but this put me on. The matcha flavor was light and perfect mixed with the sweet cinnamon flavor of the horchata. It was a little grainy, but still delicious. I came back a second time because it was that good! I got the matcha chai, although I will say it wasn't really my cup of tea. The chai flavor seemed sour and didn't match well with the matcha in my opinion. There were also powdery matcha clumps at the bottom of my drink that weren't whisked in all the way. I would come back for the matcha horchata for sure! So yummy and refreshing.

This cute little place deserves more traffic, don't go to the Dunkin next door, hit up this place. The vibe is so cute and soft, nice place for pictures if you're into that. There's even a little phone on the wall where you can leave a recording, how cool! The service was great the woman serving me was very kind, and I got my coffee very quickly! She even made sure that I liked what I got before I walked away and that's always super considerate. If you don't like matcha, that's fine!! They have other options I got the ice cream macchiato, and it was made perfectly.
