"This wood-paneled tea shop is the OG of LA’s matcha scene, and while they have a small menu of drinks, Tea Master’s soft serve is the real draw, particularly during summer months. The unofficial dessert of the post-Sushi Gen crowd, the frozen treat comes in just one potent flavor— matcha. The earthy tea powder tastes freshly whisked into the creamy base, and there’s even more matcha powder dusted on top. It’ll give you just enough of a caffeine jolt to keep you vertical after lunch." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
