"Bonsai was recommended to me but I was a bit disappointed overall. To start, metered parking can be difficult to find due to the busy area. The place itself is nice but a bit too busy for me. There was no place to sit so I stood outside and ate. As for the food, I ordered the bacon breakfast sandwich and regular drip coffee. I should have gone with the breakfast burrito instead. Coffee was ok. Overall, it was not worth the price I paid. Also, when I asked a couple of questions about the menu, the person taking my order was not helpful. Not sure if I would return again."

"If you’re a real matcha enthusiast, you need to try Bonsai because they are not messing around. I love the variety of matcha and flavors that they offer. There’s some fun ones too like pandan and coconut. I also tried my first hojicha latte here and loved it. It’s like matcha’s more mellow little sister. Their cream top is good because it’s not overpowering or too sweet. It is rich and thick and custard-y. UGH. Insanely good. The atmosphere is bright and upbeat, a little busy if you’re trying to do work (for me personally). But a great place to stop with a friend or on your way from A to B."

"Reached there around 2pm on MLK day to a really long queue, but I didn’t mind. Got a cream top matcha and the Pork and Shrimp Dumplings to go — the matcha was one of the best I’ve drank (even beating some touristy outlets in Japan), would definitely return for it :) The dumplings were not bad, but I’m not sure if I would spend $10 USD on it."

"The best matcha I've ever had! I arrived around 3pm on a Sunday with a line out the door, which luckily moved fairly quickly. I ordered the matcha x matcha, which comes with a sea salt foam top. It was delectable and the perfect balance of being neither too sweet nor too earthy/bitter! All of the seating was taken up by college student laptops (a little surprising since it was very loud inside) and friends catching up so I took mine to go. Would love to try their bar next time."

"Popular cafe known for matcha lattes. Came here with some friends on a Sunday afternoon and there was a line out there door. There is free garage parking. You order at the counter and then pick up your order. I ordered the Bonsai matcha latte which comes with a cream top as well as a red bean bun. The bun was alright; the drinks seem to be the star. There were some people studying or working but it was on the louder side. It’s dog-friendly. Credit cards accepted."
