Umami Cafe

Just want to add for other people, that menu showing on Google maps is incorrect, the menu here as of 2023 is just tea and pastries, with option for miso soup and rice. There is very little option for gluten and dairy free, so be mindful when you must consider these. The staff and atmosphere is beautiful and pleasant nonetheless. Don't let this discourage you, just adding this information for others so their expectations are consistent. ♡

What a lovely experience! We got the tea sets and the matcha and hojicha brownies (yum). We didn’t think to make a reservation but it only ended up being a 30 min wait on a Saturday afternoon. I can see people thinking it’s expensive for tea and a snack, but the atmosphere is unique and makes up for that in my opinion.

I volunteer at the garden so my review will be biased. That said, this is a great place to have quiet conversations while admiring the greenery outside. They mainly have variety of Japanese teas. I like all of the tea they have. All of the teas are serves with Japanese sweets. I like all of them, since choices are not that large, you may want to try all of them.

Very nice experience, very authentic tea at Umami Café. We thought we made the reservation, but turned out we only made the reservation for the garden… but luckily there was a outdoor seat available when we went, the staff welcomed us and was nice that we were able to get in. It was a bit cold but nice to sit outdoor and enjoy the view with hot teas. All of the food/tea we ordered were really good and if you order tea, you get three rounds of it. (the staff will add water for you) I love their matcha, made me think of the time i visited Japan.
