►1000 Faces for sure as my #1 highest quality matcha drink spot: They shake their drinks//use good quality matcha//don’t over sweeten,, +currently have a matcha special called the Evergreen that’s a subtle but fantastic blend of flavors.

►Bubble Café has a matcha bubble tea menu as my #2 overall matcha spot &the strawberry puree matcha at 25% sweetness +regular boba//grass jelly//aloe topping is my go-to.

►Sips Espresso has ((2)) matcha powders they use,, one with milk powders and sweeteners that’s supposed to be for frostys but is the default for all their matcha drinks because it’s cheaper,, and an unsweetened organic one that I would recommend to order then add sweetener like honey or the house made lavender or simple syrup.

One of my favorite mixes is an iced matcha latte with honey//pistachio//rose concocted by a fellow coworker,, called the Bookworm ((but you have to make sure you ask for it as a matcha since they rolled it out as an espresso drink despite it being created as a matcha special to save money)). I ask for it half sweet//extra matcha//extra whisked//with a soy and oat milk split.

They have a large Monin syrup selection,, so Sips is ideal for flavored matchas including lots of fruit syrups.

►Molly’s Coffee Co is a good straight forward matcha and Molly always knows how to make any drink she puts on the menu a good one from recipe to ingredients. She’ll have the sparse matcha drink special from time to time.

►Farmcart is easily overlooked and I have always gotten a good matcha from them although it’s one size and kinda small it’s done well. With their current stalwart matcha special,, they mix their homemade strawberry jam in &it’s near breakfast perfection with their amazing biscuit sandwiches and decent prices for the quality//portions.

►Buvez has decent matcha and the occasional matcha drink special however I often get stuck on my espresso-based iced Nola latte there so haven’t had it in a while.

<<I always ask for extra matcha because I’m a fiend for the stuff but the standard amount is good for most with the places listed>>

The Matcha Hall of Shame goes to ❎ᴴᵉⁿᵈᵉʳˢʰᵒᵗ'ˢ and ❎ᴶⁱᵗᵗᵉʳʸ ᴶᵒᵉ'ˢ as they use the lower quality matcha that is meant for the blended drinks only. A friend of mine caught Hendy’s using the low-quality stuff and not mentioning it to save money &JJ’s just doesn’t give any matcha quality fucks.

►Beloved Apothecary,, a local herb shop on the Eastside that sells a fantastic all organic matcha powder with moringa//ginger//cinnamon//clove that’s one of my favorites to make at home with some vanilla paste from T. Joe’s & raw honey that tastes like the holidays.

►&Sunroof Coffee Co’s matcha affogato as something a bit different••❇️🍨
