We ordered a take-away. Got a matcha drink with a scoop of ice cream on top and a crepe cake. The original/authentic taste and the atmosphere/decorations are amazing and reminded us of our trip to Japan. Prices are super high but the foods are worth every penny. Prepared to be waiting during their busy hours as they have one or two staff working during this less busy season and the covid!

I got the D6 which is the Ishita Shiratama Matcha Story.
I think this place is good if you are familiar with matcha desserts or really want to experience something new.
It’s not for everyone.
The D6 is a dessert that has a base of pudding (not too sweet), whip cream, and crunchy matcha soaked graham, matcha soft serve on top, red bean (not so sweet), and matcha cubed jelly (not sweet) and mocha balls (not sweet). So the sweetest part is the matcha soft serve. Then it is sprinkled with some toasted rice (almost like hojicha taste).
I appreciated this dessert because it’s not easy for me to get and is unique.
I think the price is reasonable because some of the desserts are high quality and can’t be cheapened.
I wouldn’t get anything with ice if you are looking for better value for price.
We did dine in on a Thursday night and we got our food very fast.

Best matcha ice cream and such a cute space! Perfect for letting go of your troubles for a moment.

I've gone twice and neither times were worth it. The price is high for the fairly mediocre drinks and soft serve. You can kind of tell though because it doesn't seem like any of the employees care or are trying to get stuff made fast or right. Of course they'd be upset though with ONE employee running drinks, food, and cashiering. It took an hour to put in an order and get our orders. I should note the line wasn't long either times. A friend got the taiyaki and we were waiting for 30-45 minutes before we decided to ask about it as it seemed the employee was busy only for him to tell us he couldn't make the taiyaki. WHY DIDNT HE TELL US SOONER. He then doesn't even offer a refund and instead gives her a cone instead which is supposed to be a $1 cheaper. They not only gave us an item that is worth less than what she paid for, they made us wait for way to long for even the best ice cream I could have, which this is far from. I wouldn't trust the high rating on this place as it seems they had a promotion a little back giving discounts for high reviews.

OMG I love this place!!! Their matcha soft serves and drinks are so good! It may seem a little pricey but compared to other dessert places in Berkeley, its not bad.

The decor is very beautiful! It is a great place to take photos. This is a drink/dessert place where you get your order to go or sit down and eat. We went during a quiet time, but I can see it getting full fast. Overall everything was pretty good. The matcha soft serve such as in A5 Namacha Matcha Story is flavorful. However, it melts very quickly. They served us the matcha soft serve and it was already melting down the sides. I thought that was a bit weird. The matcha ice cream such as in the D2 Marukyu Uji Matcha Ice ball is not as flavorful. The staff is nice and knowledgeable about their large menu. It is a nice place to visit, and there is a metered parking lot behind their building.

Great place if you love matcha. Lots of dessert varieties. I wish they put out description for each one. It's quite pricey, we spent over $18 for 2 items plus tax and tips.

Feels like I'm in Japan now! All the interior are pretty authentic and extremlly feels I'm in different place, not in Bay Area any more. Speak as all desserts, high quality and various sections, but some time they are sold out....
