La Matche Cafe is another hidden gem as it is relatively hard to notice when passing by as it is accross the street from Burlingame Plaza and it is located at the Peninsula Life Science Center on the lobby floor. I had a great experience coming here and the owner and the team are super friendly. They opened before the pandemic and have been serving workers nearby for years. The inside is small, but it's very cozy and has some seating available. Their matcha lattes and sandwiches were really good. They pride themselves on using fresh ingredients/fruit and not using powder.The Iced Matcha Latte ($6) was something I had to try especially when it is part of their name, but it did not dissapoint. This is definitely better matcha than any other shop in the area. It had just the right amount of sweetness and you can taste the matcha flavor. I had to pace myself and not drink it too fast because it was so good. I got mine with Oatmilk and you can also add lychee or boba as well.I got to try the Turkey Pesto Sandwich ($11.49) and Ultimate Club Sandwich ($12.49). Both were great sandwiches although I give the edge to the Turkey Pesto because I love pesto and all the ingredients were so fresh.If you are in Millbrae or Burlingame then I recommend coming here for a drink or sandwiches/salads. Parking can be a little challenging, but I think it is worth the trip here regardless.

Only ordered a drink here, so I can only review that. Small shop with some sandwiches, drinks, and pastries. Tucked away within a complex and a bit difficult to find. One table and a bar counter to sit looks perfect for lunch. This place also has WiFi if you need to do a little work. Off to drink review!3.6/5 - Dirty Matcha - Tasted more sweet and milk than any expresso. Was hoping for a bit more coffee flavor and caffeine. Not sure how much is put in. Doesn't have the multi section aesthetic either as they mix it for you already so I can't figure out milk to coffee ratio. If you are more into sweet things this might be for you.

I work upstairs and this cafe has everything you could possibly want and need. Breakfast foods, coffee, boba, sandwiches, and desserts. Service is always quick and the ladies who work there are extremely nice. The mochi muffins are AMAZING. The chicken pesto is my favorite. You can't go wrong with any of the smoothies, boba, or coffee. Boba is a bit on the sweet side so I always ask for less sugar and they're able to accommodate me.So happy to have them in the building!

I had to come back after the recent yelp experience with them! I walked in after a doctors appointment nearby and just had to come back for their strawberry matcha latte. They are so sweet, I took a long time deciding what sandwich I wanted. Everything is super homey and cute, I would love to come and study there sometime. Definitely coming back for more :)My order:Strawberry Matcha Latte w Oat - This is one of the best matcha latte's I've ever had, because the quality is so good. Turkey Cranberry Sandwich - At first I thought it was small for the price but then my first bite of it made it make sense. It's actually so good and the bread was so crunchy! Chocolate Chip Cookie - Thin crispy and super buttery, really good!

Check-in on Yelp for free Thai ice tea but it was a small cup with a lot of ice. If I had known I would have just ordered a full size matcha. Croissant sandwich with ham - was pretty good but nothing too special I'd go out of my way for. Parking was confusing at first as a lot of spots say reserved but the parking along the street is free for 2 hours.

Yum! They are a small little cafe inside a business building (so it is a little tricky to spot).I had their ultimate club sandwich on dutch crunch and it was tasty! It was a little small for the price, but the flavor was quite nice. I found the bread to be fresh and nicely textured (the dutch crunch was soft yet crunchy from the outside bits). Nice combination of meats (ham, turkey, bacon) plus avocado! Their mochi muffins are cute; very squishy texture. I liked their chocolate one the best.

If you don't know you are looking for this place, you won't come across it!! It is on a narrow side road in the lobby of an office building and seems it mostly caters to those in workforce in the area.I was driving home and was in the mood for some matcha latte and La Matcha Cafe was a minute away, had great YELP reviews and also the name was enough for me to try them!!There was the coffee irking lunch crowd waiting for their to-go meals and there was me ordering my latte. The place is very small and has two tables for dining in and a few bar stools by the windows. The rest is just the kitchen, counter and some fridge for drinks. My latte was well prepared but could have used more of the matcha flavor/powder. Service was fast and the shop is clean.

La Matcha is a hidden gem! I did not find out about them until this year but since then, I've become a regular for their drinks and sandwiches.First off, the service is great. The ladies that run the place are very accommodating and friendly. Sometimes, there's a big rush around lunch so they will tell you an approximate time for when your order is ready.Second, I think any drink that they make is great. I usually get a strawberry banana smoothie (they even do less sugar) or an iced mocha but their passion fruit mixed tea is also delicious.Lastly, their sandwiches are well balanced and hit the spot. Specifically, I like to get the Ultimate Club with extra meat. If you have enough room, I highly recommend the mochi muffins for dessert There isn't a lot of seating but it is what you'd expect for a cafe. If you are craving a nice sandwich or a caffeine boost, give La Matcha a shot!

If you are in San Francisco and want a fun desert you should drop by to La Matcha Cafe. We picked up some macarons for Easter. I could not resist getting the bunny and chick ones.The services was fast and courteous. Next time I am in the area and need sweets, I am coming back to here.

Quick take: order in advanceRookie move on the first visit. We ordered in person at the counter. Must order in advance. Especially, around the lunch hour. They are extremely busy with a small staff.Avocado smoothie was good. It tasted like avocado. Also ordered a Strawberry matcha latte. Also pretty good.The pulled pork sandwich was very tasty. I would order that again. The grilled chicken sandwich wasn't as good as the pulled pork sandwich. Probably order it on different days or don't mix. Grilled chicken sandwich would have been good if I didn't have a taste of the pulled pork sandwich.I checked in on Yelp for a free matcha strawberry macaron.
