Austin's Matcha Destination

Every Cup Is a Craft,
Every Visit Feels Like Home

We source only ceremonial-grade matcha, whisk it by hand, and pair it with pastries baked fresh each morning. This is matcha the way it was meant to be — honest, vibrant, and made with intention.

Our Story

Born From a Love of Real Matcha

Love Lamp Matcha started with a simple frustration: most matcha in the U.S. isn't the real thing. It's powdered, blended, and stripped of everything that makes matcha extraordinary. We decided to do better — and we invited Austin to join us.

Every tin of matcha we use is ceremonial grade, stone-ground in Uji, Japan, and shipped directly to our kitchen on Shirley Avenue. We whisk each cup by hand with a traditional chasen. Our pastries are baked in-house every morning using real butter, real eggs, and real ingredients. No shortcuts. No compromises.

We're proud to be a neighborhood spot — a place where regulars know your order, where the matcha is always vibrant green, and where every visit feels like coming home.

Ceremonial Grade Only Never blended, never diluted
Made with Intention Every cup whisked by hand
Directly Sourced From Uji farms to your cup
The Process

From Leaf to Cup

We believe the best matcha tells a story — from the shaded tea fields of Japan to the whisk in your hand.

01

Shaded & Grown

Our matcha comes from Uji, where tea bushes are shaded for weeks before harvest, boosting chlorophyll and L-theanine for that vivid green color and smooth, umami-rich flavor.

02

Stone-Ground

Leaves are de-stemmed and stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder — slow, traditional, and preserving every delicate flavor compound that makes matcha special.

03

Whisked to Order

Each serving is measured, hot water is added, and a bamboo chasen whisks it into a frothy, emerald-green bowl. No pre-mixed batches. Always fresh.

04

Served with Love

Your matcha arrives in a hand-selected ceramic cup, paired with a pastry fresh from our oven. It's not just a drink — it's a moment of calm in your day.

"Love Lamp Matcha is my happy place. The matcha is genuinely the best I've had outside of Japan, and the matcha croissant changed my life. I come here every weekend and it never disappoints."
