Kiss Of Matcha - Indulge in Authentic Matcha Creations in San Francisco

Definitely arguably the best matcha shop in the bay area! The matcha soft serve was very good. It was strong and concentrated. Many places are cheap with their matcha. It may a little too heavy on the matcha for many people, but I think it is great! It would be perfect, for my taste, if it they used a tad bit less matcha to balance the intensity and creaminess. The hojicha strawberry Matcha with Hojicha cream was good. The hojicha probably was not strong enough or maybe it did not paired well in contrast with the strawberry purée. But I would much much prefer the Matcha strawberry latte. I believe the Matcha strawberry latte is arguably the best in the bay area. The Matcha was strong, but perfectly balanced with the milk. The strawberry purée was apparent, and it paired nicely with the contrast of the bitterness of the Matcha.

Strong matcha. Will turn on the afterburner for a while. If you are lactose sensitive, no matcha ice cream for you. No bathrooms near by. Neighborhood is kind of dumpy.

Cozy little cafe that puts out some tasty treats. We barely made it in... We arrived 10 minutes before they closed, the lady behind the counter straight up said we're not making drinks anymore because we close in a few minutes. Completely understandable... Not going to fault her, especially since there was nobody around and the place was empty. Looked like they were ready to close; the place was cleaned up and the chairs were put upside down on the bar. Alas, they sold out of the viral Matcha Bamboo Parfait (which is what i specifically came here for) & the Chocolate Soft Serve. Bummer! So, I asked if the Parfait was available. She said it was...bingoi! Dessert for the evening! #Sugar ~ Kiss of Matcha Parfait - 5/5 This Parfait had a bit of everything! Layered with red beans, brown sugar jelly, corn flakes. Matcha cake. Shiratama Mochi. Warabi Mochi, Croffle and topped off with Matcha Ice Cream! YAAASSSS!! Lots of sugar and carbs...it can be a bit challenging to finish after a hearty meal. I could taste the quality of Matcha used. Just brilliant! We did get a chance to sample the Ube soft serve...we thought it was terrible though. It tasted artificial and chalky and grainy, like it was made from powder. Good thing I opted for the Matcha swirl for the Parfait. Maybe the Ube was off? I just need to return and try it again, along with other items on the menu.

I've gotten two Too Good to Go orders from this place. The first time was disappointing since I didn't think we got a decent deal (I forgot to take photos). However, the taste was pretty decent so I tried again (Sep'24) and it was great! We got three cups of soft serve - I liked the Matcha & Red Bean cup. I didn't like the Ube & Sesame flavor but my partner thought it was fine. If I crave any matcha items, this place will hit the spot!

Good matcha drinks here and frozen yogurt. Vanilla yogurt is also available. Not much seating so it’s a pick up and go spot.

I got a matcha almond milk latte w/ boba, it was really good. There’s a soft hint of vanilla to it. I will say we (my friend and I) didn’t like the Osaka style dish, I think it’s just an acquired taste. The waffle is softer than we expected and the flavors were new for us. Always try new things! I would recommend giving it a try for yourself. The service was also great and fast. You can order up front or on the screen.

My friend and I went here and another place in the Mission to compare Matcha's and Hojicha's and we both agree that we like Kiss of Matcha better. This is our new spot whenever we meet in the City now. Highly recommend the Hojicha. Excellent nutty flavor.

WOW! This place knows how to do matcha!! Their azuki bean matcha latte was strong and bitter, slightly sweet, and very creamy. And of course the soybean powdered croffle (croissant + waffle) was delicious, and the matcha coated mochi-jelly was SO good. The inside of this place was really itty bitty, but they had seating by the window (no bathroom, but the library nearby has one). The service was nice and fast, and the staff was so friendly. The prices were a bit high, but you get what you pay for! They also had dairy free milks, I got my matcha latte with oat milk.
