Little Tokyo, located in downtown Los Angeles, is brimming with sweet treats and restaurants to enjoy. At 450 E 2nd St, you’ll find a little matcha shop and cafe with matcha-based drinks and soft serve. It’s often hard to find a shop with drinks that foster an authentic and rich matcha flavor without being overly bitter, but if you’re stuck in the search for some good matcha, Tea Master Matcha Cafe and Green Tea Shop has got you covered. You can place your order inside this quaint shop and peruse the pretty pots while you wait. There are little tables outside of the shop if you want to eat there, or you can take a stroll through Little Tokyo while you enjoy your beverage or treat.
Tea Master’s most popular item is their matcha soft serve ($5.25). Though the serving may seem like too much, it’s the perfect size to leave you satiated. The soft serve is a smooth and creamy consistency; topped with a sprinkle of matcha powder, it gives an umami, earthy, bittersweet flavor while remaining sweet enough to be a dessert.
Another item worth trying is Tea Master’s matcha oat milk latte ($5.75). This rich milky beverage has notes of matcha’s bitterness and a hint of sweetness from the oat milk. The matcha oat latte is slightly sweetened with honey syrup, balancing the flavor of the matcha and the oats. While this drink has a delectable taste, it is also a fun vibrant green color. This drink is perfect for a matcha enthusiast.
Lastly, this shop has a variety of products for sale, including matcha powder, tea mixes, matcha stirrers, teapots, bowls, and more. Tea Master Matcha Cafe and Green Tea Shop also has a website where you can take a look at the products they offer and shop for tea mixes and other items.
Open from noon to 7:00 pm Wednesday to Friday, from noon to 8:00 pm on Saturday, and from noon to 5:00 pm on Sunday, Tea Master Matcha Cafe and Green Tea Shop is the perfect place to go for a delicious drink or a yummy cold treat.
