Matcha has officially earned its spot in our daily routines – and love it or not, this green obsession isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
From the classic matcha latte to strawberry swirls and coconut milk blends, it’s the wellness drink that’s taken over our feeds (and our lives). Once the go-to of wellness insiders, it’s now everywhere.
To make things easier, the GRAZIA team has sipped, sampled, and shortlisted our favourites. Consider this your ultimate GRAZIA guide to the 12 matcha spots across the UAE you need to try.
Cult Matcha by Trio
With locations across the UAE—from Sharjah to Abu Dhabi – Cult Matcha has quickly become the go-to destination for matcha lovers. A branch of the much-loved café brand Trio, it serves up some of the most inventive (and Instagrammable) blends in town. From Blueberry Marble, Strawberry, and a limited-edition Tropical mix that’s unlike anything else. Sweet yet balanced, each sip perfectly captures matcha’s signature earthy vibrancy. Whether you’re stopping by one of their boutique cafés or cruising through their luxe drive-thru, Cult Matcha is the ultimate daily pick-me-up.
Koncrete
This might just be one of Dubai’s most talked-about cafés, and not only for its ultra-Instagrammable industrial-chic interiors. Beloved by the city’s cool crowd, it also happens to serve some of the best matcha in town. Sure, the coffee’s great, but the real star is the coconut water–infused matcha. Light, subtly sweet, and endlessly refreshing, it’s a twist that feels both energising and indulgent. Bring your friends, order a matcha and a toastie, and settle in.
Claro
This might just be one of the UAE’s hidden matcha gems. With locations in both Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, Claro has perfected the art of the classic matcha latte, earning itself a loyal following along the way. But they don’t stop there. Their signature twists, like the coconut water matcha and the indulgently creamy crème matcha, take things to the next level. Whether you’re a matcha purist or just matcha-curious, Claro’s beautifully curated café menu has something to win you (and your friends) over.
FLTR & The CHA Club
FLTR has long been a Dubai favourite among matcha lovers, with three locations across the city – and it was one of the first cafés to jump on the trend. Yet it still doesn’t get all the credit it deserves. Constantly experimenting with new flavours, FLTR keeps things fresh and exciting. Its latest venture, the Cha Club inside Level Shoes at Dubai Mall, has quickly become the talk of the town (and your feed), thanks to the creamy raspberry matcha that’s as photogenic as it is delicious.
Sal matcha
Vanilla Foam Matcha. Mango Matcha. Taro Matcha. If there’s one place pushing the boundaries of matcha creativity, it’s Sal Matcha. With two locations in Sharjah and another in Al Ain, it’s the kind of spot worth detouring for — no matter where you’re headed. But here’s what really sets them apart: they’ve taken their signature blends online. You can order their matcha kits and have café-quality matcha delivered straight to your door anywhere in the UAE. Ideal for the matcha-obsessed who want their fix daily, not just when they’re out and about. So whether you’re stopping in or stocking up, Sal Matcha is one to add to your list — immediately.
