Before you go

Is this a ranking of the Mission’s matcha cafés?

No. The stops are grouped as an unranked route using current menu evidence, location and ordering details rather than firsthand taste scores.

Which Mission stop lists soy milk?

Ceré lists soy for matcha drinks. The other current menus in this guide list oat and/or almond, or do not name soy; confirm the full drink and topping recipe.

Can plant milk still come with dairy foam?

Yes. A base-milk substitution does not change every topping. Ask separately about cream, cheese foam and cold foam before ordering.
