Matcha Time Cafe

My friend and I visited this place after we went to the Matcha time Gift shop! I ate the Shrimp tempura udon and my friend got a regular sized ramen. We both paid $15 for our noodles, and I got a $6 matcha. The udon was okay, it tasted good but I think it's normal udons, 7.5/10. I'm not sure how the ramen tasted but she said it was good also. The servings aren't huge compared to the price, so keep that in mind. The matcha was good, I'd rate it a 6.5/10. We got window seats and the sunlight was great for photos and talking. We also got 2 kids version shaved ice, matcha and mango. They were $3 each and came with a cute bowl. The matcha flavor was very bitter, but it may be because I asked for only a little condensed milk. I'd definetly recommend adding some condensed milk if ur more of a sweet matcha lover like me. The mango flavor was really good, and surprisingly very flavorful.

If you can find a place to park in the large parking lot in OEC, make sure you look 'up' hill to spot the Matcha Time Cafe. They serve steamed rice packets that are so, so yummy. They have a little gift shop on Main Street, down towards the river on the left, too, if you're missing those fun shops in Asia where you could buy everything from teacups to keychains to stickers to tea accessories...
The atmosphere at the cafe is a little crowded, and informal.

This place offers you a little taste of Japan. Not only with their food, but with their hospitality as well. Refreshing teas and hot foods that will make you happy. Reasonably priced hand-made Onigiri, which is always what I go for, Meccha-Oishii!

First time trying and Absolutely love this place!!! An amazing little gem just off of Main Street in Historic Downtown Ellicott City.

Amazing food, fresh sushi, innovative dishes, ramen that's out of this world. Tea for days and other amazing beverages.

Great place for sharing food!!

The owner is delightful!!

We stopped at this place since we were in the area and it was absolutely delightful. Everything is made from scratch and the women who work their are very friendly and speak Japanese which I loved. Made it feel like you were in an actual Cafe in Japan. The Matcha latte I got was so good. As was the ramen. You have to try to pork buns they're so delicious. We will definitely be stopping here next time we are in the area.
