6 Best Matcha Cafés in Singapore 2026 — Where to Get Ceremonial-Grade Uji Matcha Lattes, Soft Serve & Parfaits (Hvala, Matchaya, Tsujiri & More)

One of Singapore's most refined matcha destinations. Established in 2015, Hvala (Croatian for 'thank you') sources and produces its own line of matcha and hojicha powders directly from tea plantations in Kyoto, and whisks your matcha fresh in front of you on order — the result is smooth, vibrant and umami-rich with subtle floral notes, not the dusty-sweet kind. Beyond the matcha latte and straight usucha, it's known for tea-inspired desserts like matcha cake and warabi mochi. Outlets: 111 Somerset #01-10 (the newly refreshed flagship, complete with 'Bob' the robotic matcha arm), Odeon Towers (333 North Bridge Road, near City Hall/Bugis) and a counter at Takashimaya (Ngee Ann City). BEST FOR: a quietly premium, sit-down matcha experience and thoughtful tea desserts.

The local original. Founded in August 2015, Matchaya set out to be Singapore's first home-grown modern Japanese teahouse, sourcing authentic Uji matcha from Kyoto — the region long regarded as the gold standard for Japanese green tea. It's a dessert-forward café famous for its rich Uji matcha soft serve ($14.90), matcha and houjicha lattes, warabi mochi and playful seasonal drinks. It also sells its own matcha powders and teaware if you want to whisk at home. Outlets: Tiong Bahru and Suntec City (check its site for the latest store list and hours). BEST FOR: matcha soft serve and takeaway lattes, plus grabbing quality matcha powder to bring home.

Serious Kyoto pedigree. Tsujiri traces its roots to Uji, Kyoto in 1860, making it one of the oldest matcha names you can drink in Singapore. Its newest and only 'Premium' outlet at One Holland Village (7 Holland Village Way, #02-25/26) is a proper tea house serving premium matcha parfaits, matcha soft serve, lattes and even savoury meals, using selected Uji matcha prized for its fine grind and deep green colour. Typical hours run late (around 11am to 10pm, later on weekends) — check tsujiri.sg for the full outlet list. BEST FOR: an occasion-worthy matcha parfait and authentic Uji flavour from a heritage house.

A specialty-coffee café from Kyoto with a cult matcha following. Kurasu Singapore, at 261 Waterloo Street, is a calm, minimalist space best known among coffee people for its beautifully balanced matcha latte (using Kyoto matcha) alongside pour-over and espresso. The insider order is its off-menu 'Dirty Matcha' — a matcha latte with a shot of espresso pulled through it, so you get grassy sweetness plus a coffee kick in one cup. It's also a great spot to buy Kyoto coffee gear and beans. BEST FOR: coffee lovers who also want excellent matcha, and anyone chasing that Dirty Matcha.

A full Japanese café experience built around green tea. Nana's Green Tea is a Japan-born chain serving matcha and houjicha lattes, towering matcha parfaits, warabi mochi and shiratama sweets, alongside proper savoury meals like matcha soba, rice bowls and hotpots — so it works for both a dessert run and a full sit-down meal. In Singapore you'll find it at Plaza Singapura (68 Orchard Road, #03-80/82) and DUO Galleria (7 Fraser Street, #01-38/39), typically open from late morning to around 9.30pm daily. BEST FOR: families and groups who want matcha desserts and a real meal in one place.

The wallet-friendly matcha fix. 108 Matcha Saro is a matcha specialty brand from Hokkaido, and its Singapore outlet — its first in Southeast Asia — sits at #B1-K5, Tower 5, Suntec City. Everything is made with its own Uji matcha powder: the star is a rich matcha soft serve from just $4.90, backed by warabi mochi (from $4.90) and obanyaki (from $2.90). It's a grab-and-go kiosk rather than a sit-down café, which makes it perfect for a quick, affordable matcha hit while you're at Suntec. BEST FOR: budget matcha soft serve and mochi without the specialty-café price tag. (Photo coming soon — pop by @108matchasaro for the latest.)
