Junbi - Westwood
About
Reviewers often describe the matcha as perfectly sweetened and fresh/earthy. Many point out that it’s less sweet than other options available in the US, making it a delightful choice. However, some find the drink watered down or overly sweet. The matcha’s natural flavor is appreciated by many, with Magic Matcha being highly recommended for its authenticity. While the space is described as cute and comfy, some find it initially confusing due to closure signs. Additionally, service quality varies; while positive reviews praise specific staff like Nina for her kindness, recent hires have been noted for inconsistent order preparation and overly sweet drinks. The matcha prices here might be a bit higher, especially with extra ice in the cups. Overall, Junbi - Westwood offers good value for refreshing drinks but faces challenges with consistency and sweetness levels.
