Daily Matcha Madness: A guide to Singapore Matcha Spots

Singapore's gone proper mad for matcha, hasn't it? You can't seem to walk five minutes without someone mentioning it. It's the latest thing all the Gen Zs are raving about, and you see it popping up everywhere. Folks are either investing in their own matcha-making kits to have a go at home, or they're off on a grand tour of Singapore's cafes, sampling all their in-house matcha concoctions. It's fair to say, you can't really escape the green goodness these days.

Given how popular it is, we thought we'd put together a little guide highlighting some of the top spots where you can get your daily matcha fix, especially focusing on areas where our Monster Day Free Walking Tours happen to be. So, if you're out and about with us and suddenly get a craving for that earthy, slightly bitter delight, you'll know just where to head.

First up, Chinatown. When you're exploring the vibrant streets and soaking in the culture, you might fancy a bit of matcha to keep you going. You could pop into Spring Coffee, known for their decent brews and a matcha offering that's worth a try. Or, if you're feeling a bit peckish and fancy something savoury alongside your green tea, Tendon Kohaku has what you need and, of course, their Organic Kyoto Matcha Latte. And don't forget Hi Coffee, another spot in the area where you can often find a good cup of matcha to perk you up.

Next on our list is the bustling Kampong Glam. After wandering through the textile shops and admiring the Sultan Mosque, a matcha break might be just the ticket. No Strangers Here is a popular cafe that sells Strawberry Matcha and a Blue Matcha, which consists of coconut water, blue pea syrup, and matcha foam! Then there's Nirvana Dessert Cafe, where you can usually find some lovely fluffy pancakes alongside your drink.
