Matcha soft serve, lattes, parfaits & mochi treats
"Kiss of Matcha (with another location in Chinatown) is one of our favorite places to get soft serve in the city, but their matcha lattes—all 12 versions of them—shouldn’t be ignored. We always stay classic and get the Uji latte that’s just freshly whisked matcha over milk. For a less intense version, try the matcha cream latte that’s sweeter and made with extra cream (obviously)." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The high-quality matcha soft serve at Kiss Of Matcha in the Richmond is thick enough to hold upside down. It’s a wonderful gravitational feat, pulled off by one of our favorite soft serves in the city. Get here after dinner nearby—or anytime not-too-sweet dessert calls—for a cup of this creamy perfection. Their Kiss Of Matcha parfait arrives dripping with sticky matcha syrup and decorated with mochi, brown sugar jelly, and a croffle. This counter-service spot is tiny—like, walk across the entire space in five steps tiny—but you’re here to inhale every last bit of ice cream at rapid speed, and not to kick up your feet and stay for hours." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
"The Richmond Japanese dessert cafe (with another location in Chinatown) serves creamy soft serve thick enough you could probably shave with it. A large portion of their menu is dedicated to solid tea and coffee-based lattes, but if you’ve left without ice cream, you’ve entirely missed the point. There’s a small selection at Kiss of Matcha with just three flavors (and no swirls), but there’s no going wrong. And for those who’d like more than a waffle cone, opt for a soft serve sundae, which comes in a tall plastic cup layered with cornflakes, matcha cake bites, and two types of mochi." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
