I got to eat the matcha that was in line for three hours in Boston

🍵 Kyo Matcha: Brookline’s New Matcha King—Worth the Hype Brookline’s Kyo Matcha has been open a while, but those opening-week 3-hour lines scared me off. I’m glad I waited—after a Thursday night tennis session (exercise = excuse to eat), we rolled up around 9 PM and waited just 10 minutes. Turns out, patience (and post-workout hunger) pays off. 🌟 The Showstoppers Matcha Parfait: 🍦 For years, Fenway’s Maiko Matcha had my heart for their parfait. Not anymore—Kyo is my new ride-or-die. Every layer outshines the competition: Matcha ice cream: Bolder, more intense (in the best way)—no weak, watered-down flavor here. Mochi: Chewier, nuttier, and softer—even my carb-phobic friend fell for it. Red beans: Sweet but not cloying, with bright bean flavor that complements (never overpowers) the matcha. Matcha cake: Light, fluffy, and not soggy—just the right texture. The only flaw? The granola: too sweet and slightly gritty. But it’s easy to overlook. Matcha Swiss Roll: 🎂 Simple but executed perfectly. The wrapper is thin, tender, and slightly chewy (no dry, thick layers). The matcha cream inside is silky, not greasy, with a fresh, grassy kick. Bonus: Tiny red beans hidden inside add a pleasant surprise. Soy Milk Lava Cake: 🥛 A 4-inch sponge cake drizzled with soy milk cream, topped with mochi and roasted soybean powder. It’s understated—no flashy layers—but the soy milk cream is divine: creamy, slightly sweet, and balanced by the cake’s lightness. ✨ Why It’s a Standout Attention to Detail: These are simple desserts (I could make them at home), but Kyo nails the little things—texture, sweetness, and that “freshly made” feel. No artificial aftertastes, no skimping on quality. No Fads, Just Flavor: It’s not trying to be trendy—just really good matcha. For purists, that’s everything. Budget Score: 4.5/5. Fair prices for portions that satisfy (without leaving you stuffed). Kyo Matcha isn’t just another matcha spot—it’s Brookline’s new matcha benchmark. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or casual enjoyer, this is a must-try. 📍 Kyo Matcha 1010 Beacon St, Brookline, MA 02446 #BostonMatcha #BrooklineDesserts #MatchaLovers
