About

Many note the perfect balance of flavors in their matcha drinks, particularly praising the Matcha Einspanner and the subtle Rose Matcha Latte. However, some find the presentation lacking and complain about grainy texture. The atmosphere is frequently highlighted for its chic aesthetics and comfortable vibe, making it a favorite spot for studying or socializing late into the night. Prices are on the higher end but considered worth it due to the quality of ingredients and overall experience. While service can vary, some staff members are noted for their kindness and friendliness. On-site services include kerbside pickup, delivery, takeaway, dine-in, and on-site seating options, catering to various preferences. Guests point out that ordering within 10 minutes is necessary to remain seated during late-night visits, which can be a drawback. The venue's minimalist interior with ample natural light adds to its appeal, creating a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance. Overall, CAFE UPPER offers a unique and enjoyable matcha experience for those willing to pay the premium.

  • Flavor Profile: Customer descriptions of taste characteristics including bitterness, sweetness, and richness
  • Specialty Offerings: Presence of unique matcha drinks, traditional preparation methods, and matcha-infused foods
  • Customer Satisfaction: Overall ratings and specific matcha-related praise in reviews
