Made my first trip here on a quiet weekday. I was excited about a matcha tea place in Madison, but looking at yelp, I expected food as well. To my surprise, food is only available on FRIDAY and SUNDAY Brunch with menus posted the night before.
Worker was very adamant to follow their Instagram @machateacompany to get updates (will post the menus the day before).
Ambience: The atmosphere is nice and quiet. Mainly bar seating but a couple of 2-seater tables on the side. The shop products are displayed nicely and I like how the descriptions are clear for their items.
TEA: My friend got the Matchiato hot which was delicious! We also ordered loose leaf tea (forgot the specific type) but it also tasted good and warmed us up on the chilly night! Presentation was simple and elegant (pictured).
Dessert: There wasn't much selection the day I went, maybe because of a slow weekday and they only had a small red bean pastry available for $3 which I thought was pretty overpriced.
I think I would come back again but would really love if they had a consistent bakery menu. It's hard to find matcha flavored/inspired dessert in Madison!
