Yume Mori Matcha

This is the most honest review I've ever had. The shop is located not far from BART Downtown Berkeley. Upon arriving at the shop front, you'll be greeted by a menu with beautiful artwork. Walking into the shop is very minimalist. The menu I tried was the Coco Matcha Cloud. The flavor is deep and not too sweet. It's definitely good for health-conscious people. Another one I tried was the Custard Cream Brule Crepe. I personally liked it very much. The crepe batter was very delicious. The cream was just the right amount of sweet. Finally, I can say that I will definitely come back to try all the menus.

i got a hot unsweetened hojicha latte and a double matcha latte. i feel like the matcha powder they use isn’t very strong. the latte doesn’t taste milky or anything like that, but the matcha taste wasn’t that strong.

Love the taste of matcha + oat milk + strawberry puree. It is very refreshing and light. I personally enjoy refreshing taste over rich and creamy drinks so I looooove it!!!

The crepes were amazing!! 10/10 recommend the Ichigo crepe. The matcha and hojicha was a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Lovely atmosphere, got my matcha pretty quickly given the crowd. Great quality matcha.

Another of the growing number of high quality matcha cafes. This one had your typical long line but it seemed to be worth it. I quite enjoyed my hot Hojicha Latte.

Seriously one of the loveliest iced hojichas I've had! I got an iced hojicha latte with regular sweetness and oat milk. The regular sweetness is pretty light, which I like, but they also have syrup you can add yourself if you want it sweeter. The hojicha was creamy and smooth, and the staff were super friendly. The space inside is very lovely - minimalist vibes. Not really a place to sit, except two small benches to wait for your drink. Next time I want to try the tiramisu hojicha, which has marscapone topping, as well as the crepes, which are only available after 1 pm. The line wasn't too long, but I came on a Monday morning before classes started. Overall, a welcome addition to the matcha options in the area :)

流行の抹茶カフェに初訪問。正直、何が特別なのか半信半疑でしたが、ダブル抹茶ラテを注文してみることに。店員さんが抹茶を立てているものの、カウンターの中はスケールや計量カップなどの器具が整然と並ぶラボのような印象。伝統的な風情はないものの、飲んでみて納得しました。抹茶はきめ細かく、クリーミーなテクスチャーが際立ち、アガベシロップのやわらかな甘みと絶妙に合います。抹茶×サイエンスというイーストミーツウエストが生み出す、私にとっては新しい体験でした。

I went to visit my friend in Berkeley and this was a spot she wanted to try out. Her friends mentioned that their hojicha was better than the matcha, so we got a hojicha latte and the hojicha tiramisu latte. We had really high hopes for this spot, but we were both underwhelmed by both drinks. The hojicha tiramisu was better than the original latte, but both were a little too watered down for our liking. As I drank my drink slowly, I realized at some point that there was a strong aftertaste of something that was unpleasant. Being that it started tasting like tap water straight from the faucet, we assumed it was the ice melting into the drink. The space is small but aesthetic and their staff is super friendly and kind. You do order at a kiosk, which there is only one so be prepared to wait at least 30min if there's a line. We spent the majority of our time waiting in line to order, but we really only waited like 15min because the line hadn't reached outside. And then we did get stuck behind someone who kept asking questions about kiosk system like how it knew their name without them entering it. So, that added a few minutes to our wait. Once we submitted our order, it took about 10min to receive our drinks.

With the sudden influx of matcha spots opening in Berkeley, I had high expectations for Yume Mori Matcha. The place looked very clean, cute and minimalistic upon arrival, and there was no line when we came on a Monday afternoon. Matcha Latte (reduced fat milk, regular sweetness): Opted for a standard matcha latte rather than a double matcha, which I will be trying next time. I personally enjoyed this matcha despite the slightly bitter aftertaste that other reviews mentioned. The only issue I have is that a matcha latte of this size for $7 is personally not worth it... However, I do want to try their Matcha Tiramisu, so will be coming back when I'm in the mood to buy a matcha out. Matcha Ichigo was okay according to my friend, and a bit chunky with the strawberry hits. I'm not a strawberry matcha gal, but this was sweet and not bad. Very pretty! Overall, this is a cute spot for a quick grab n go, if there's no line.

I saw this place on tiktok and thought it would be so good but I left a bit disappointed. I like more sweet matchas but this one was really bitter. Or maybe i'm just not use to better quality matcha? But not what I was expecting. I waited 15 mins to order and another 15 mins for the drink. They were sold out of scones but someone had it in front of me and it looked so delicious so maybe I will go back to try that. If you like stronger matcha this is the place for you!! Also, i thought it was a bit small for the price but very cute shop w nice employees

This is Berkeley's newest matcha shop and they are serving pretty drinks! The store is small but very aesthetic. I personally found their drinks on the lighter side - wished there is stronger matcha/hojicha flavor. Being hand whisked to order, the drinks are very very smooth. However their matcha creme brulee has been on my mind - its creamy, crispy caramelized sugar, and not too sweet. This was a visit on 8/15, cannot wait to come back as I heard theyve adjusted the drinks!

I'm so happy they opened this up right by campus! The storefront itself is quite small, not. lot of seating. But it's cute and I loved seeing the workers make each drink. They measure the matcha every time and their drinks are always consistent. I tried the tiramisu matcha and the hojicha ichigo. While the matcha was high quality and very good, I was a little disappointed it didn't taste at all like tiramisu. The hojicha however was fantastic!! I'd definitely come back for it. The drinks are on the pricier side (around $8-9) but I'd definitely still check it out if you haven't yet!

Personally, out of the regular matcha places I go to, this one takes the crown. Despite the process of waiting in line, ordering, and receiving our order being almost 45 minutes this place was worth the wait. The lobby is small and it can get crowded really quick during peak hours so be aware. This place is definitely quality over quantity because their cups are smaller than other places but is 100x better. I'm left wanting more as soon as I finished my drink. The cream on top was divine on both drinks and the cookie is a nice touch to scooping up the cream. I definitely would keep coming back but it's too far for me to go here regularly. Also shoutout to the workers for working hard and fast in that small environment.

I was excited to try this place but left underwhelmed. The matcha was freshly whisked and vibrant green, but it was astringent with an aftertaste I didn't enjoy. Their crepes look good so maybe I'll come back and try that next time!

I ordered matcha ichigo (strawberry) and my sister ordered hojicha tiramisu. Even with 0% sweetness, matcha ichigo was sweet enough with strawberry puree. I tasted hojichia tiramisu (also 0% sweetness) and would definitely get that one next time I visit! The tiramisu cream was perfection

I don't think I'll be coming back. I am a big matcha fan, so I was pretty excited to try their matcha. Well... I ordered a standard matcha latte with oat milk. 1. Very limited milk options; the only nondairy option they had was oat milk. 2. The drinks were also pretty expensive... and super tiny. $8 for 12oz?? 3. The matcha latte itself was practically flavorless. It tasted like I was drinking water with a few teaspoons of matcha powder added in. 4. The wait is pretty long. I waited 20 minutes after ordering to actually receive my drink. The line was long when they opened at 10:30-11am, but the matcha was mid, honestly SUBPAR.

My friends and I visited this new cafe that recently opened. The interior decor was nice and simple. The double matcha is perfect for matcha lovers. My friend and I were impressed by the hojicha tiramisu latte because it had the perfect amount of sweetness.

Soo yummy I know how high quality matcha taste like and this is it !!! If you like your matcha really sweet I think you should just ask for extra sweetness! But I think it's perfect!definitely recommend this matcha spot it's the best in Berkeley to me I just wish they had a bigger size !!! Please come out with bigger sizes

Very good matcha for an east bay establishment. Only drawback for me would be the lack of seating space. Other than that, this place tastes good, hand whisks their drinks, and does it in a timely manner. I'm definitely coming back!

The space is beautiful. I do think that my latte was quite astringent and made my throat dry. they also should consider changing their oat milk because that's all I could taste by the time I mixed the matcha. The drink was a vibrant green though!

We got the strawberry matcha and an matcha usucha. The matcha was very creamy, the strawberry matcha has a slight sweetness that works really well with the earthiness of the matcha. Overall really great matcha spot in Berkeley!

Another of the growing number of high quality matcha cafes. This one had your typical long line but it seemed to be worth it. I quite enjoyed my hot Hojicha Latte.

Been waiting for them to open and I'm so glad they finally did. We got to try them on their soft opening. They have sooo many different ways of matcha and hojicha. My favorite is the matcha coconut cloud. The crepe! Please do not miss out on them, if you do go for the crepe tho, come at 1 PM. They only serve it after 1PM. Everyone in there was so nice and accommodating. The ambiance is so cute, it reminds me of cute korean cafes I visited in the Philippines.

One of the best matcha places in Berkeley. Cute place, a bit small but such great matcha flavor, not too sweet and you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking. Looking forward to trying more drinks from here!

Quality is amazing. Service is efficient. The vibe is very cute and quaint. would definitely be going back. This place needs 5 stars. Especially for the amount of time They've been open.

I got the double matcha and it was a disappointment. It tasted like milk despite the color being pretty dark. The cafe itself was small but aesthetic. Not worth the money. It also took a while for the drinks to come out but the cafe was pretty busy.
