Once a niche Japanese import, matcha has firmly claimed its place on Dubai’s menus—and not just in lattes. You’ll spot it in cakes, cookies, pancakes, and yes, even fried chicken. Beyond the trend factor, matcha delivers a smooth caffeine kick along with serious antioxidant power. If you’re looking to upgrade your daily fix, here are Soigné’s top picks for matcha spots around the city.
TRIO
If you’ve been in Dubai for over a year, you probably know about Trio’s Cult Matcha pop up at Al Serkal Avenue. Family owned matcha house went viral for their strawberry matcha and if you’ve tried it, you understand and are a part of the hype.
Knot Bakehouse
Knot Bakehouse offers their k(not) so ordinary matcha with strawberry foam, salted vanilla foam and cinnamon foam—best served with their breakfast menu. Take a drive around Jumeirah and sip your lattes.
Nette Matcha Club
Sip on Nette’s wide range of matcha lattes (Their mango matcha is highly recommended) after a match of padel at their court. Perfect for summer movement, a busy working day or relaxation.
@rumailah.farm
UAE’s first jersey cow milk farm recently introduced iced matcha lattes in three different flavours—strawberry matcha, mango matcha and classic matcha alongside a whole mango flavoured desserts and drinks. You can expect ceremonial grade matcha and pure milk.
Moochies
Moochies has a dedicated matcha bar to go with the famous brunch menu. They are serving ceremonial grade matcha in four different flavours—mango, strawberry, vanilla and classic sweetened matcha (and do you see the cups? So cute, so chic).
@1990_matcha
This unique Emirati-Japanese fusion matcha bar serves Gahwa and date flavoured matcha brewing culture and connection. Fun fact, the name of the cafe comes from the year His Highness Sheikh Zayed first visited Japan in the year of 1990. Truly one of its kind!
