matcha cafes in vancouver - 7 more must-try spots for green tea lovers

Can’t stop, won’t stop sipping matcha?

Me neither. After the buzz around Part 1 of my Vancouver matcha guide, it was clear that the city’s obsession with green tea runs deep—and there are way more gems than one post could cover.

So welcome to Part 2: a hand-picked list of 7 more matcha cafés in Vancouver and Richmond, from tea-specialist bars to dessert-forward hangouts. Whether you’re craving a clean ceremonial-grade pour, an iced oat matcha latte, or a swirl of matcha soft serve, this roundup is for you.



If you’re searching for the best matcha in Vancouver, these spots are worth bookmarking.

1. Paragon Tea Room

📍 Locations: Downtown Vancouver, Kerrisdale, Burnaby

✔️ Best for: Single-origin matcha lattes, modern tea rituals, and the city’s OG matcha experts

Paragon Tea Room has long been a leader in Vancouver’s premium tea scene. They offer thoughtfully sourced, single-origin teas and beautifully crafted matcha lattes that highlight the natural richness of the tea leaves.

The iced matcha oat latte is a must-try, and their hojicha and rotating seasonal drinks are equally impressive. With three minimalist locations across the city, it’s one of the top picks for anyone wondering where to drink matcha in Vancouver.

2. Mood Be Cafe

📍 Location: Mount Pleasant

✔️ Best for: Cute aesthetics, soft serve, and cozy date vibes

This pastel-hued café in South Vancouver blends Korean and Japanese dessert culture with French patisserie flair. Their matcha options include creamy matcha lattes, whipped drinks, and seasonal matcha soft serve that hits the spot. The aesthetic is clean and minimal with just the right amount of charm, making it one of the most photogenic matcha cafés in Vancouver.

3. Matcha Corner Cafe

📍 Location: Kingsway

✔️ Best for: A grab-and-go fix, budget-friendly matcha drinks, and hidden gem vibes

Matcha Corner is a lesser-known spot that deserves more love. It’s great for quick service and offers solid matcha lattes, frappes, and other drinks at affordable prices. It’s not overly fancy, but the matcha quality is consistent and satisfying—especially if you’re in Vancouver and searching for a matcha latte in East Vancouver.

4. Fife Bakery & Café

📍 Location: Mount Pleasant

✔️ Best for: Bakery vibes + rich matcha, with a minimalist, creative edge

Fife is primarily known for its incredible sourdough and pastries, but don’t overlook their drinks. Their matcha latte is creamy, earthy, and beautifully balanced—pair it with a fresh slice of bread or one of their house-made tarts. It’s an ideal place to slow down, journal, or catch up with a friend while sipping some of the best matcha in Vancouver.

5. Hanoi Drip Coffee

📍 Location: Rupert Street & Mount Pleasant.

✔️ Best for: Vietnamese-meets-Japanese matcha twists

Best known for its egg coffee, Hanoi Drip also offers some unexpectedly good matcha drinks. You might find iced matcha with condensed milk, Vietnamese-inspired matcha lattes, or even a matcha egg coffee. This unique fusion makes it a standout in the Vancouver matcha café landscape—and worth a visit if you’re looking for something outside the norm.

6. Superbolt Lab Matcha Tea Vancouver

📍 Location: Kitsilano

✔️ Best for: Modern matcha done right, in a sleek, minimal space

Superbolt Lab is all about quality matcha and clean design. They focus on high-grade matcha prepared with precision—well-balanced, deep green tea flavour.

It’s a great stop if you’re in Kits and want to explore where to drink matcha in Vancouver with a Tokyo or LA spin—think iced mango or iced strawberry matcha. Their rotating specials also showcase unique tea blends and innovative prep methods.

7. Cowdog

📍 Locations: Oak Street & Kitsilano

✔️ Best for: Viral matcha lovers, feel-good, ethical twist.

If you’ve scrolled through Vancouver foodie reels lately, you’ve likely seen Cowdog’s viral frozen matcha slushy or signature iced strawberry matcha — the drinks everyone’s talking about.

After the success of their Oak Street café, Cowdog opened a second Kitsilano location this year, drawing crowds with their creative drinks and ethical approach. A progressive coffee shop redefining café culture, they pay a living wage, skip tips, and never charge extra for oat milk. The strawberry matcha lives up to the hype — bright, creamy, and beautifully balanced. Expect a line, but it’s worth every sip.
