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 awareness is impeccable. I also have a nut allergy, and the level of care, communication, and consciousness in the kitchen instantly put me at ease. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare—and deeply appreciated.
I planned to stay for one hour.
I stayed for two.
The space itself is incredibly zen, calming, and grounding—the kind of environment that invites you to slow down and actually be present. They authentically show the process of making their Matcha, in special machines outlining their interior.
Adding another layer of magic: my favorite vegan restaurant in New Hope, Pennsylvania—Sprig and Vine—sadly closed in 2025, and the incredibly talented Ross, chef and owner, is now the collaborating chef behind the scenes at Ooika. Thus collaboration feels like lightning in a bottle. You can taste the talent and creativity in what they’re producing together.
I tried one dessert—the Red Bean Mochi pastry—and wow. Truly wow. Not too sweet, just the amount of sweetness. Real ingredients , worth every coin!
I almost hesitate writing this review because I don’t want it to sound like I’m being paid or sponsored in any way. No one asked me to write this. I wasn’t comped, bribed, or incentivized. This is a 100% genuine review born purely out of gratitude and awe.
I cannot stress enough how special Ooika is.
If you haven’t been yet, you need to go.
It’s a hidden gem in Princeton, and I genuinely cannot wait to return.

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.

A warm and inviting cafe to enjoy premium quality matcha. Owner and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable on matcha. Their matcha is stone milled every day and served fresh. An unparalleled experience waits for those seeking a memorable matcha experience.

I’ve been a barista for over two years and drink matcha every single morning of my life.
This is genuinely the best matcha experience I have ever had in my entire life. You can tell that everything is ground and made in house. And controversial opinion, oat milk only is the greatest thing I have ever heard walking into a cafe.

Love the matcha at ooika! I was at this location for the first time for a class. It was very informative of matcha and some tips on how to make it at home. Definitely will be visiting again, but will be making matcha at home other days!

Just WOW. Took me straight back to Japan. All the matcha is from Uji, which is the matcha capital of Japan. We had the strawberry matcha and the strawberry hojicha. Both were incredible. If you want to taste a real matcha in the states, there’s really no better place.

Schlepped an hour in the freezing cold in search of an iced strawberry matcha latte. They did not disappoint! I also picked up a yummy bento box.
