Matcha Village - Sawtelle

Beijing's popular matcha cafe "Matcha village" just opened few weeks ago as the first U.S. location here in Los Angeles. It is little different from Japanese matcha sweets. They use coconut cream in their drinks, they use soybean pudding instead of boba. It's very unique. To me, their drinks are little too sweet and coconut milk was too heavy. I wish they had options for almond milk.

Macchiato - Downtown

Macchiato just opened another location in Downtown Los Angeles. They are known for cute potted plant drinks and waffles. It's absolutely cute that makes you wanna take pics for instagram. All drinks were delicious, they have soy and almond milk options. Loved Belgium waffles and panini. Well, let's just say I enjoyed everything. Oh and FYI, boba is not ready until noon so if you wanna get boba in your drink, go there after 12pm.

Macchiato - Monterey Park

Macchiato original location. Compared with downtown location, it's bigger space and has free parking. I know mochi waffle doesn't look great in the picture (see below) but I liked it better than charcoal.
