Dubai’s Best Iced Matcha Lattes
Dubai’s matcha scene has been booming, but not all matcha lattes are created equal. Some have left us sipping on powdery bits, others are a bit too sweet, a few have a weird aftertaste, and then there are the ones that taste like nothing but the milk they used. After many cups and a fair share of hits and misses, we’ve rounded up the matcha spots that truly deliver and keep us coming back for more.
Whether you’re a matcha addict or just curious to try, navigating the city’s cafés can be overwhelming. We decided to do the hard work for you, tasting, testing, and curating our ultimate Cake The Mag list. From viral hotspots to hidden gems, here’s where to find Dubai’s best matcha.
Backyard
The regular iced matcha latte is perfection but if you’re after more of a sweet treat, the matcha cloud is a must-try!
Knot Bakehouse
If there’s a viral Dubai matcha spot, it’s this. The signature “K(not) Ordinary Matcha Latte” is topped with salted caramel foam. Sip straight from the sippy cup to taste every layer of the drink.
Kurasu
For anyone seeking an extra caffeine kick, the Matcha Latte Espresso is iconic. It’s a clever fusion of matcha’s earthy tones with a coffee punch.
Local Coffee House by Local Foundry
If you’re looking for our favourite mango matcha, the “Mango Tango” is the one (again, more of a sweet treat). Their classic “Tokyo Matcha” is also a top contender.
Otaku
Simplicity at its finest. Their iced matcha latte is straightforward, clean, and perfect for those who want a fuss-free matcha fix.
Pekoe Tea & Bread Bar
Another spot that keeps it simple, Pekoe’s iced matcha latte hits all the right notes.
Toby’s Estate
We love our iced matcha latte with coconut milk and no sweetener. Their house milk is a standout too (it tastes like a bowl of Frosted Flakes—unexpectedly nostalgic and so satisfying).
