Matcha in SF’s Richmond District: Clement and Balboa Stops
Compare three Inner and Outer Richmond matcha cafés, from Clement Street lattes to Constance’s freshly milled matcha on Balboa.
Updated October 8, 2026
The Richmond’s matcha options run from Clement Street coffee shops to a tea studio farther west on Balboa. Kiss of Matcha lists a hand-whisked latte and a large flavored-matcha menu. Pixlcat pairs an Uji matcha program with its butter mochi. Constance mills tencha leaves into matcha in house. These three stops cover both Inner and Outer Richmond; choose by drink style and location, rather than treating them as a ranking.
For hand-whisked matcha with an optional cream layer.
The Clement shop is at 750 Clement St. Its latte description lists six grams of hand-whisked matcha over whole milk or a choice of milk. The wider menu also includes strawberry, mango, ube, azuki and jasmine matcha lattes.
Milk details
Whole milk is the named base. Other milk choices are offered but not named on the public product page, so ask specifically about soy. The optional matcha cream is explicitly dairy.
Soy status
The current ordering page offers a choice of milk without naming soy; confirm substitutions and the full topping recipe.

Which Richmond matcha latte has confirmed plant-milk options?
Pixlcat’s classic Matcha Latte ordering panel explicitly lists oat and almond substitutions. Kiss of Matcha mentions a choice of milk without naming those options on its public product page; Constance does not publish milk choices on its current website.
Does choosing oat milk make a cream-topped drink dairy-free?
Check the topping as well as the base. Kiss of Matcha labels its optional matcha cream as dairy, and Pixlcat’s Matcha Dopo Panna description includes whipped cream. A plant-milk substitution alone does not remove those ingredients.
Are all three Richmond stops in the same area?
Pixlcat and Kiss of Matcha are on Clement Street in the Inner Richmond. Constance is farther west on Balboa Street in the Outer Richmond. Use each listing’s map pin to plan travel between them.
