The Orange Tabby is a lowkey, zero-waste specialty matcha stall located inside Joyheart Cafe that serves whisked-to-order drinks using rotating premium Japanese matcha powders. Dine-in drinks are served in reusable glassware, while takeout orders require customers to bring their own cups. The menu features custom tea blends and creative drinks, with the strawberry matcha standing out as a crowd favorite compared to the more polarizing yuzu matcha tonic.

Commenters share enthusiastic praise for the cafe, consistently highlighting the friendly staff and delicious specialty drinks like the Sakura and strawberry matcha. While sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, some viewers expressed concern about potential crowding, long wait times, and the location being difficult to reach.
