What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"I ordered the matchacano with an extra shot because I like a strong matcha flavor and it was pretty good. Maybe it was just my drink but I felt it tasted sort of powdery/grainy. I want to come back to try the matcha latte! Cafe had limited seating so definitely seems more takeout oriented."
"The matcha latte here is truly outstanding—easily one of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. It has a rich, creamy texture with a bold grassy flavor, balanced by a light bitterness and subtle nuttiness that speaks to the quality of the matcha they use. They’re generous with the portion and matcha content, making it an excellent value for the price. The interior is sleek, minimal, and very clean, though the space is a bit small. The employees are extremely friendly, and service is consistently fast and smooth, which really elevates the whole experience. I’ll definitely be coming back."
"Been looking for a place with good hojicha latte and Cere Tea definitely has it. It's just a small tea shop near Westgate mall area with 2 small tables and 4 chairs to sit. I ordered my Hojicha Latte with an extra shot of hojicha, Lactose free milk, 25% sweet and easy ice and it was perfect! I live on the east side of San Jose but it was worth the drive to Saratoga. Will definitely come back when I have my hojicha craving again."
"We've been here multiple times and its one of my girlfriend's favorite spots to get matcha from as they're very consistent. Today there was only one young woman working the front and there were literally 20+ people inside and she stayed composed and made everyone's drinks and didn't falter. I hope she isn't left alone like that again, but definitely props to her. Definitely worth the wait."
"I visited Cere Tea on a Saturday around 3 pm and there was a line. It took 20 minutes for us to order and receive our drinks. I got a black sesame einspanner at 25% sweetness and really enjoyed it. The coffee flavor was there but not overpowering or bitter. You can definitely taste the black sesame which loved! I'd definitely come back here just for that drink, but will likely order online next time to avoid the wait."
"Cere tea is one of my favorite matcha spots and I was exciting they opened another location. Ordering is through the kiosk and they have lots to choose..."
