Matcha boba was so creamy and boba had a great texture! The store has such a calming, cozy, serene atmosphere.

This place genuinely has the best matcha I’ve ever had + hojicha. The menu is so extensive the staff is friendly and the space is beautiful! I’ll definitely be coming back here even though it’s a bit far from the city.

Fantastic mango matcha latte and the léchée with oat milk was very good as well; worth every dollar. Staff is super friendly and the drinks are so yummy. If you’re visiting Hudson Valley definitely recommend coming here :)

As a matcha lover, I love coming here when in Beacon! My usual order is their Milk & Matcha Boba, also enjoy their seasonal fresh Strawberry Matcha Boba during the spring. I like how they use high quality ingredients to make their drinks. Looking forward to stopping by again!

Matcha Thomas is a fantastic place run by principled, personable, and hard-working people. They make fantastic matcha creations that are worth every dollar, and their commitment to community and quality are unparalleled. The Hudson Valley is so lucky to have a gem like Matcha Thomas!

I’m not gonna lie this was the best matcha I’ve had in a while and I have plenty in NYC!! I got the regular Oat Milk + Matcha at 25% sugar and it was perfect. The specialty Orange Blossom one tasted exactly like cereal milk and matcha and it works so well! Wish I tried the boba. They have a comfortable and cozy ambiance as well as this cute post it wall where you can pay forward a cup for someone else. Highly recommend you stop by!!

Honestly the best matchas I’ve had in a while (better than the city)! Came back twice in 2 days - matcha Thomas and matcha with coconut water were both delicious. Also very cute inside and the baristas were sweet.

This place was busy and the line moved every 15 mins. The baristas are so cute and take their time to perfect the drinks. We ordered the fresh strawberry match with oatmilk and Boba. I took only 10% sugar. The drinks were ready in another 6 mins. They were so good and it was a perfect combo. The only thing I noticed is that when they make drinks and there are many ready together it is hard to know which is yours. Some customer took another's drink by mistake and then the barista had to go and take it back. Personally I would not want a drink that is touched by others. Maybe they need to label the drinks like starbucks.

Great addition to Beacon, but needs work We were thrilled upon seeing that Beacon offers a variety of modern and different matchas here at Matcha Thomas. We escape the city to get a little bit of air, but seeing such a big part of culinary culture spread through upstate is amazing. It was the weekend and naturally, the line was out the door. Unfortunately, the wait to even order was rather long. Drinks seem to be made right after ordering, so the initial wait simply just to put in order in is rather long. What it seemed to mark was a lack of efficiency. Different people were working on different things: not one person consistently on the cashiering side, labeling cups, making matchas, washing dishes, it was a bit of a jumbled up system. When waiting to order, I couldn't help but feel bad for the girls working. They were clearly so backed up and were working tirelessly without an efficient system. We ordered our matcha, the elderflower derivative, and were surprised to hear that the "power" part of the drink was just to make the name more interesting, not necessarily an indicator of anything else. I was disappointed to see that the sugar options weren't super flexible, with 50% sugar being the next down from 100%, and then after going to 25% and 0%. What was nice though, was that my matcha came out rather quickly. Unfortunately, the matcha was not good. The elderflower felt like a second thought, and was barely noticeable. It tasted more-so like very matcha flavored water, rather than anything else. You would think for at least 50% sugar you'd get a little bit of sweetness, but it was pretty bitter. Overall, my partner remarked that it was "not worth the wait," and that the matcha itself was super forgettable and un-noteworthy. I was disappointed to say that I agreed with him. While the branding, vibe, and relaxation room are super nice concepts, the drinks themselves seem to need work, whether it's the method of which they are being created (seamlessly, efficiently, etc), or the taste themselves. Significantly more to be left desired. Interesting note as well: there was a woman named Betty mentioning that there was a little fruit fly in her drink. I didn't think much of it, but when I was waiting in line to order, I did notice a bunch of little fruit flies just zooming around and hovering over by the matcha making area. Wonder if there's some sort of sanitation issue--it wasn't super obvious, but it did make me raise an eyebrow after perusing through some of the reviews. Overall, I'd likely not order from here again. While I was excited about the idea, the matcha itself wasn't anything special--it did definitely give me energy and wake me up, but I can do that with a cuppa joe, that would likely taste better as well.

I was so happy today to stop there on the way to the train and buy the iced matcha with almond milk. The taste was good. I was drinking that tea. After some time I noticed a little bug inside of the cup. So disgusting 🤢 If I only could go back and show them!! Very disappointed! It looks like that place is not clean. Should be no stairs for that experience! Yes, you can’t see the bug very well on the pictures. I was in the train and couldn’t make a better picture. At the beginning I also thought it was a piece of tea. When the ice melted I could recognize it.
