Ooika is by far the best matcha I've had in New Jersey! It's so smooth that you can get the classic matcha with no sweetener and it's delicious. My personal favorite on the permanent menu is the strawberry matcha. The hojicha is really yummy and nutty as well. I love that they do a specialty flavor every month! For food, the spicy tuna & tamago (maitinated egg) onigiri are my favorites. The miso soup is sooo hearty I find myself craving it and picked radishes are also fantastic.

I've been coming here for an iced strawberry matcha frequently for the past 2 months. Discovering Ooika has been such a blessing. All the baristas and employees truly make the effort to make guests feel welcome and appreciated. The matcha is always consistent and delicious. Not only do I love it here, but I have also shared the joy of Ooika's matcha and hojicha with my coworkers, friends, and family, who are all obsessed as well. The onigiri here is also delicious. I recommend Ooika to everyone, I was never a fan of matcha until I came here.

I’ve had traditional and commercial matcha all over the world and across the United States—from Japanese restaurants to cafés that take matcha seriously. I don’t say this lightly when I say: Ooika holds the highest standard of matcha I’ve ever experienced. Every sip was exceptional—balanced, smooth, vibrant—and somehow left me craving more even after I two. That almost never happens. You can feel the care, the intention, and the respect for tradition in every cup. Amazing Allergy experience: What made this experience truly special for me, though, goes beyond taste. I have a severe milk allergy, and because most places use shared milk frothers, I’ve never been able to order a hot latte safely. At Ooika, I could—for the first time—order a hot matcha latte without fear. Their allergy aware

If you are a matcha connoisseur I highly recommend visiting Ooika! You feel immediately welcome upon entering. The staff is lovely. Their matcha quality is excellent. It’s so cool to see the matcha mills inside, you can smell how fresh the matcha is. I don’t even feel the need to add sweetener, which they do offer at the front after you get your drink. Also something to note—they only offer oat milk. I’ve tried most drinks on the menu and I always love them all, it’s hard to decide a favorite. If you’re hungry, they do offer onigiri and some matcha desserts, I recommend the matcha cookie. I will add that sometimes the place gets super busy but I think it just adds to the vibe. Overall, always a lovely experience at Ooika.
