Matcha Ranked is a community-driven platform for discovering and ranking the best matcha cafes and shops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Users battle between two matcha places at a time, choosing their favorite. Rankings are calculated using an ELO rating system - the same method used in chess rankings. Every battle helps refine the rankings in real-time.
The ELO system is fair and dynamic. New places start with equal ratings, and their scores adjust based on battle outcomes. Places with more battles have more stable rankings, while newcomers can quickly rise if they're popular.
From San Francisco to Oakland, Berkeley to San Jose, the Bay Area has an incredible selection of matcha cafes. Whether you're looking for traditional ceremonial matcha, creative matcha lattes, or authentic Japanese tea houses, our rankings help you discover the best spots.
Battle now to influence the rankings, or submit a place if you know a great matcha spot that's not yet listed.
