Methodology: This is an all-time list of the best matcha spots in California according to Yelp. We identified businesses in the restaurants and food categories with a large concentration of reviews mentioning “matcha,” then ranked those spots using a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning “matcha.” If a chain appeared on the list more than once, we only included the highest rated location. We included only two businesses per county for geographic diversity.
