Unique matcha drinks in Singapore
Strawberry matcha used to be the adventurous order, but these days, it’s practically the default. With new matcha cafes opening every other week, the ones worth the trip are the ones doing something different with their flavours. From local nostalgic flavours to more experimental concoctions, here are 11 cafes with unique matcha drinks in Singapore that every matcha lover should try.
10 Best Matcha Cafes In Singapore Ranked—Hvala, Tsujiri And More
1. Tofu Tofu
The last time we visited Tofu Tofu, they were still a matcha home cafe in Bedok. They’ve since opened their first brick-and-mortar store at East Village Mall along Upper Changi Road, with a menu of locally inspired matcha lattes. The Kaya Matcha ($6.90) pairs creamy, earthy matcha with fragrant pandan kaya for a nostalgic twist, while the Bandung Matcha ($6.90) swaps in floral rose syrup for another Singaporean take.
You can also pick your matcha powder here. The house Tofutofu Ceremonial Grade is balanced, with mid-level umami and nutty notes. For something grassier, there’s the Yamamasa Koyamaen Aoarashi ($8.90). You can also choose between hot-whisked or cold-whisked matcha, the former resulting in a stronger matcha flavour, while the latter gives your drink a creamier mouthfeel.
Upsizing to 500ml or upgrading to a 350ml bottle costs $2 each, and oat milk is an extra $0.50.

2. Studio Frond

Studio Frond is a weekend-only matcha bar in Joo Chiat that doubles as a flower bar. Your matcha is served on a tray that also holds a DIY floral arrangement, so you get to make your own mini bouquet while you sip. The standard kit starts from $15 and comes with a floral base, a focal flower, and an accent flower.
I’m a huge fan of Studio Frond’s Miso Butterscotch Matcha Latte (from $8), which pairs matcha with house-made miso sauce and rich butterscotch for a sweet-salty cup. For your tea, you can pick between Frond Matcha #01, sourced from Zhejiang, China, and Frond Matcha #02 from Uji, Japan.

3. Bouche

Tucked under a HDB block near Holland Village, Bouche has a sleek black entrance that’s hard to miss. The one to order is the Pistachio Matcha ($8.90), which pairs thick, rich matcha with nutty pistachio sauce. You can choose your sweetness level and your powder—Tenzo is creamy and umami-forward, while Samidori is stronger and nuttier, with a kinako-like profile.
Part of the fun is the final pour. The baristas will offer to finish your drink right in front of you, so get your camera ready. The space seats only a handful of people, but camping chairs are set up outside, and an old-school TV screen inside has been repurposed for mirror selfies. If you’re a regular, there’s also a $50 membership that gets you any seven drinks.
Address: 40 Holland Drive, #01-27, Singapore
Opening hours: Thurs-Fri 11am to 8pm, Sat-Sun 10am to 8pm, Mon-Tue 11am to 8pm

4. Ghost Kakigori

Ghost Kakigori is best known for its Japanese shaved ice and chilled dorayaki, but its “Matcha Ritual” drinks are where it gets experimental. The one to order is the Durian Cheese Royale Matcha ($8.90), a rich, creamy cup of savoury cheese foam, earthy matcha, and Mao Shan Wang durian. When I tried it, I found the durian flavour strong, with a distinct richness from Mao Shan Wang. If durian isn’t your thing, the Fresh Mango Boba Matcha ($6.90) is a fruitier take, while other additions include the Pomelo Zesty Matcha ($6.90) and Taro Mochi Bliss Matcha ($6.90).

5. Creamie Sippies

Banana pudding matcha is what put Creamie Sippies on the map, but their Earth Day ($8.90) is the more unusual order that most people sleep on. Made with butterfly pea and Creamie Sippies’ in-house Uji matcha, the blue and green drink is meant to represent the colours of Mother Earth. Flavour-wise, it’s light, floral, and refreshing. It also comes in a 500ml Sippie cup with 8g of matcha, so you’re getting a proper dose of caffeine.
Their newest outlet on Bugis Street also has a DIY banana pudding bar if you want something sweet on the side.

6. Little Rituals

Hidden inside the streetwear boutique Plop Apparels on Arab Street, this matcha and cookie bar is easy to walk past if you don’t know it’s there. My default order is the Corn Milk Matcha, which pairs sweet, creamy corn milk with freshly whisked matcha. Little Rituals cold-whisks its matcha, so the drink comes out thicker and smoother, with less of the grassy edge you sometimes get from a traditionally whisked cup. Drinks start from $5.50 for a Petite and $10.50 for a Regular.
Other signature flavours include Banana Earl Grey Matcha, which has banana chunks sitting at the bottom of the cup, as well as Wild Berries and Vanilla Bean. Pair your drink with one of the freshly baked small-batch cookies—we recommend the Black Sesame Mochi (price TBD).

7. Ichigo by Tea Cottage
At under $5 a cup, one of the cheapest and most unusual drinks on this list is the Kopi Matcha ($4.90), which pairs pure Uji matcha with local kopi. The matcha-and-coffee mix is a combination you don’t see often, and it costs about the same as a regular matcha latte at most cafes. If you’d rather have something sweeter, the Milo Matcha ($4.90) blends chocolatey, malty Milo with earthy matcha.
Ichigo by Tea Cottage is run by the folks behind Tea Cottage, the Singapore tea retailer behind the Kanzeon Megumi in our best matcha powder listicle. Their matcha is sourced from Uji, Kyoto. You can also find them in Johor Bahru!

8. VE/LA
Bangkok’s famously photogenic coffee and matcha chain has made its Singapore debut at Changi Airport Terminal 1, and it’s open 24 hours, so you can get a matcha fix even on a wee-hour flight. Our team tried the Ube Vanilla Matcha ($9.50), which layers ube milk infused with vanilla syrup under an earthy matcha topping. We found the purple yam latte creamy, nutty, and earthy, and it went well with the sweet vanilla and matcha foam. If you’d rather keep things simple, get the Cloudy Matcha ($10): matcha latte topped with cream.

Said to be Singapore’s first ube and matcha specialty cafe, HALO Ube & Matcha at Tanjong Pagar’s 100AM Mall is built around ube, which has a sweet, floral, and earthy flavour. The most indulgent order is the Ube Banana Pudding Matcha ($7.50), which features a scoop of ube-flavoured banana pudding layered over a matcha latte, topped with crunchy Biscoff crumbs. For something less sinful, the Ube Matcha Latte ($6.90) blends grassy matcha with sweet, floral ube.

10. AiFOKATO
AiFOKATO started as a takeaway kiosk in Telok Ayer, but has since opened a hanok-inspired cafe on Amoy Street. Their most viral offering is the DIY affogato. Traditionally, affogato means espresso poured over ice cream, but here you can swap in a matcha pour instead. For $10, pick one of four gelato flavours—Vanilla, Pistachio, Matcha, or Chocolate—then choose a hot pour of Espresso, Chocolate, or Matcha. Our pick is the Chocolate gelato with the Matcha pour, where the rich, bittersweet chocolate balances out the earthy, grassy matcha.

Opening hours: Sun-Fri 9am to 9pm, Sat 9am to 10pm

11. SKOSH – Hand Roll & Matcha Bar

Matcha and beer isn’t a combination you see often, but this Orchard handroll bar serves a Matcha Lychee Lager ($15), a boozy drink that pairs lager with hand-whisked matcha and sweet lychee. If you’d rather stay sober, the menu has a few other unusual flavours that are less wild. The Creme Brulee Matcha ($9) is a matcha latte with burnt sugar and sea salt cream, while the Coconut Matcha ($9) comes with matcha foam and coconut water.
Address: 6 Scotts Road, #B1-K1, Singapore 228209
