There are a number of spots that serve matcha in some form - as a scoop on your dessert, mixed in your boba tea, or honey toast among other things. Bon Matcha is the only place thick swirls of matcha, which can be combined with a seasonal flavor. It is a food trend in the dessert space that will not be going anywhere any time soon.
