I live in outside of Houston and i’m coining this time in my matcha-life “The Great MatchaGirl Disaster” because of that poor girl who opened a matcha pop-up here that was an epic fail with watered down matcha’s for $11, sparking unrest in the matcha community. It’s been giving me nightmares. Thank you for this post— have been in need of positive matcha vibes on my feed. LOL

I have to say, DAE cafe has my vote.

Check out this Misugaru Korean multigrain latte recipe I adapted from tranquil NYC café DAE for easy home brewing!

Matcha Cafe Maiko has a great matcha soft serve. My brother is not a matcha person at all but he literally asks for this ice cream every time he visits me. It's thick, creamy, and just the right balance of earthy/sweet.

No Matchaful? Also I’ve only done decaf latte at cafe integral but they have matcha AND make their own milks

This is the type of investigative journalism I need in my life. Have you tried Kettl?!

Kettl is amazing and one is around the corner from Rhythm Zero, strange it’s not on this list?

I just tried the magnolia bakery matcha banana pudding and matcha latte since I’d seen some creators combine the two - like montauk general did and it was genuinely awful 😭 so sad I missed that collab especially since she just brought it to LA!
