Good to know

Is it free?

Yes — MatchaLine is free during the beta.

Which cafés are on it?

88 hand-checked matcha spots across LA — Lynx, Community Goods, Amai, Maru, Kettl, and many more — with new ones added over time.

How are the wait times measured?

They're crowdsourced from people at the café right now, blended with a recency-weighted average. When there are no live reports, we show a clearly-labeled typical busyness estimate — never a made-up wait.

Do I need an account?

No — browsing cafés, the map, and wait times is open to everyone. Sign in only to report a wait, save favorites, or post photos.

Is my location shared?

No. Your location is used on your device to sort cafés by distance — it never leaves your phone, and wait reports are anonymous.

Android?

iPhone first. Android is on the roadmap.

Know the wait before you go.
