"There’s so much soft serve in SF that we had to dedicate a whole guide to it. Unfortunately, the soft serve at Oishii Matcha in the Castro doesn’t quite stack up to others in the city. While the matcha flavor is prominent, the soft serve arrives already slightly melted with mini-shards of ice. Drinks are a bit more successful, like a matcha strawberry latte that balances a shot of matcha with the sweetness of strawberry purée. But like the soft serve, the drinks don’t stand out among the other matcha-heavy cafes around San Francisco. That said, Oishii works in a pinch, especially if you’re in the area and snag one of their outdoor tables that overlook Market. photo credit: Patrick Wong" - Patrick Wong
