Meccha Matcha

Special flavor this weekend - Jasmin Milk TeaIt tasted just like my favorite drink in high school, Pokka Jasmine Green Tea , really light and refreshing

I love the variety of matcha flavored drinks and desserts that are available here! I got the Matcha Strawberry Oat Latte and it was so good! The latte came out pretty quickly too. There is minimal seating inside, but I was able to find a seat and do some work!

I had my first visit here with a friend. We got different things and the orders came out fast. The staff was helpful decoding the options. I got a matcha chocolate chip cookie and an affogato with hojicha. We opted to eat inside at a cozy round table. The cookie was delicious. I liked the soft serve and the hojicha topping had a unique nutty taste I was not expecting.

Meccha Matcha located on Murray Avenue is truly a Matcha experience for everyone.  Whether you are new to matcha, like me, first timer!!! Or a seasoned matcha connoisseur, Meccha Matcha has something for everyone.  Their products range from ice cream, soft serve, lattes, teas and ice blends.  You can order any product with "level" 1-3.  The higher level the more potent and intense the matcha will be, but also the higher the caffeine will be.  I love this concept so you can get used to the flavor and introduce more to your pallet! All their matcha is sources from Japan and 100% pure.  The staff is amazing and so patient and friendly, especially for me as a newbie!  I tried the Ube ice cream, matcha cookie, Ube cookie, & matcha biscoff latte!

A must try for a matcha fanatic! I highly recommend the soft serve and the matcha drinks. The matcha affogato is nice too. The service was fast and the ambiance was spacious.

Updating to add more photos of the parfait. The parfait is tasty, but I would recommend getting the shaved ice if you plan on sharing as it's definitely single-person sized and it comes with a lot of matcha flavored cake that doesn't actually taste much like matcha (it just makes it dense and sludgy at the bottom).The amount of ice cream you get seems sort of variable and it feels bad to pay almost $10 for level 3, only to get the equivalent of a kids scoop at Baskin Robins.

I was pretty excited for Meccha matcha to open but it didn't really live up to my expectations. The shaved ice looked nothing like the description at all. It was a lot smaller than expected and poorly made. The photo is exactly what it looked like when served.It also wasn't clear on the menu that different matcha levels of ice cream costs different prices, so we were surprised to see this averaged size and a bit ugly bowl of ice cream is $18.99. You can't even really see the shaved ice, and it didn't taste like shaved ice at all. It felt like very hard ice chips; can't really describe it but not the right texture for shaved ice. I did like the matcha ice cream a lot, but that's the only thing going for to, overall so not worth the price. If I ever was to come back, I would only get ice cream instead...The store was also quite small and hard to find seating. Not sure if it was the particular day, but it was super hot and humid inside the store and the tables felt sticky.

My friend and I split a Thai tea soft serve (delicious and very much Thai tea flavored) and their level 3 matcha ice cream which didn't taste as strong/bitter as i thought it would but I do consume a lot of matcha and caffeine in general at baseline.Service was quick and there were a bunch of outlets if anyone wanted to do work at this cafe.

My fave matcha spot in PGH!! Love how the matcha levels are customizable depending on how strong you want the drink to taste. I've ordered couple drinks from them, and my favorite is the matcha almond black sesame latte (level 2)!Interior is cute with great vibes. Staff was happy to answer questions that I had about the menu. Parking can be tough, but it's definitely worth a visit!

I've been waiting so long for this place to open. I'm a tea lover all-around and dessertaholic, so the combo seemed immediately up my alley. The concept is incredibly unique and creative and the menu is lengthy -- making it hard to decide. I decided to just try the soft serve on my first visit here (which was for dessert, anyway). My twist of green tea (matcha) and strawberry soft serve was tasty. The matcha flavor wasn't overly strong, and they mixed well. I'll be glad to return to try many other offerings here. The prices here are a little high, but truth be told, I would rather support a local business like this at that level than Starbucks. (And they have cooler choices here anyway!).
