I visited Matcha 2nd Gen Café on March 1st with friends, on one of those freezing winter days where you just want something warm & comforting.
The service stood out right away. The staff were genuinely kind, & I was served by the owner, Sarah, who took the time to answer my questions & guide me through the menu based on what I felt like having. It made the whole experience feel more personal.
We tried a few drinks:
• Matcha 2nd Gen with coconut milk
• Iced matcha with ube topping
• Iced salted tiramisu matcha
The ube was my favorite flavor, but I'd recommend asking for a lighter amount of topping if you prefer something less sweet & more matcha-forward.
One thing I really appreciated is that the matcha actually tastes like matcha. It's not overly milky or sugary, which makes this a great spot for people who enjoy a more authentic flavor.
We also had the cinnamon brioche, which was soft, well-balanced, & not too sweet. I'm usually not a big cinnamon roll person, but this one was definitely worth trying.
The space is simple but thoughtful, with small details like board games available & a cozy playlist (early 2000s R&B when we visited) that adds to the overall atmosphere.
The café is still relatively new, opened about 6 months ago, & you can feel the care behind it. They also offer seasonal drinks, so the menu changes regularly.
Overall, a cozy & well-executed spot for quality matcha & a relaxed visit. I'd definitely come back.

2nd gen truly upgraded the matcha game!!! I had THE pleasure to try both their sticky date & tiramisú matcha drink. Damn! Phenomenal!!! I highly recommend the sticky date one. My sister also tried the UBE matcha drink & said it was one of the best she has ever had. Pass by if you're around, Sara & her team are kind & deserve the hype! 🥰💕
I have been here twice & the drinks are always so good! I could tell they use high quality matcha & coffee. I highly recommend the ube coffee & matcha.
Everyone who works there is also very nice & friendly.
Best ube matcha ever!!! I highly recommend it to everyone. I'm so happy they finally opened their own cafe. They used to have a shed outside in Dix30 last summer so I'm glad to see them evolving & having a successful business! Their drinks are amazing & the price is very reasonable for the quality you get. The staff here are also so sweet every time I come :)
Tried their unique matcha, Marweh was kind & helpful in making the right matcha for me! Highly recommended, will come back for their sticky date 2nd gen matcha 🩵

The service & atmosphere was okay. Theres not a lot of seats available. I really wanted to try their crème brûlée matcha because I love crème brûlée but this was just a thicker consistency of matcha & tasted nothing like crème brûlée. Would not recommend.
J'ai beaucoup aimé leur bol de chia, mais je dois avouer que j'ai moins apprécié le latté à la pomme miso. Ça n'était pas mauvais, juste mon dans mes cordes. Au total c'est revenu à 18,11$.
Le service à la clientèle fut très agréable & rapide, la jeune femme à la caisse m'a apporté mes items à ma place pendant que j'enlèvais mon manteau.
Une bonne musique de fond & une ambiance relaxe au sein du café.
Je recommande l'endroit !
I loved everything about this café! Their ube matcha is to die for. The first time I went, they made it a bit too sweet for my liking but the second time they adjusted the sugar level accordingly so it was perfect. The location is great & the interior design is really pretty. I definitely recommend.
The coffee was so good. I highly recommend the tiramisu latte. It has a little touch of saltiness but its super good. It is very caffeinated 😍😍😍 The cup is also very big. Rapport quality/price is excellent! For sure I will come back!!
The staff is super welcoming & gives good drink recommendations! We took the creme brûle & tiramisu viet cafe & both were super good! They even gave us pastries which was so appreciated 🥰 Would definitely recommend
