Matcha is having its biggest moment yet in Singapore — and if you want the real, stone-ground, umami-rich stuff (not the sweet powdery kind), these are the cafés to know in 2026. We rounded up the 6 best matcha cafés in Singapore, each verified as currently open, from whisked-to-order ceremonial-grade specialists to affordable Hokkaido soft serve: Hvala (handcrafted matcha and tea-inspired desserts at 111 Somerset, Odeon Towers and Takashimaya); Matchaya (the local pioneer since 2015, famous for its Uji matcha soft serve at Tiong Bahru and Suntec City); Tsujiri (the Kyoto Uji house dating to 1860, now with a premium flagship at One Holland Village); Kurasu Singapore (a minimalist Kyoto specialty-coffee café at 261 Waterloo Street with an off-menu 'Dirty Matcha'); Nana's Green Tea (the Japanese café chain at Plaza Singapura and DUO Galleria doing matcha lattes, parfaits and savoury sets); and 108 Matcha Saro (Hokkaido matcha soft serve from just $4.90 at Suntec City). Below: what each is best known for, exact outlets, and how to order a proper matcha latte.
