Plus, it’s endlessly customizable: lattes, soft serve, cocktails, you name it. Whether you’re a purist sipping ceremonial-grade straight up or just here for the pastel-hued, Instagram-worthy creations, Dallas has fully embraced the matcha craze. From minimalist tea bars and pop-ups to over-the-top cafés that treat it like a green art form, it even has its own grassroots fan club (pun intended, Dallas Matcha Club with 4K followers and growing). Here’s where to get your fix.
Elevated Coffee & Tea
1251 State St. #700, RichardsonWhat started as a low-key neighborhood coffee and boba shop in CityLine has been making waves for its wildly Instagrammable sweet matcha flights — four mix-and-match mini cups for $17 — basically two full-size drinks but way cuter. Flavors include vanilla, strawberry, mango, blueberry, KitKat and the house-favorite Earl Grey, with all the fruit syrups made in-house. They’re so thick you’ll need a Boba straw to power through, which looks a little silly with the tiny cups, but who’s judging? The matcha itself is quite potent, so be sure to mix thoroughly for a well-rounded sip. And if the green juice isn’t your thing, don’t worry, they’ve also got cold brew flights and a few La Casita pastries, so you can still bring your more traditional coffee-snob friends without judgment.7th Day Coffee
743 Brick Row Ste 350, RichardsonIf you like your caffeine fueled by faith and froth, 7th Day delivers, with a name that nods to the Bible’s call to rest and an interior that looks like a motivational poster come to life. Keith Lee gave their matcha his highest rating in Dallas (a solid 8/10), calling it rich, savory, and creamy, with a strong earthy flavor that edges on bitter — in an acquired taste kind of way. They hand-whisk the ceremonial-grade matcha right in front of you and make all their syrups in-house, meaning it’s a full-on labor of love (aka don’t show up expecting speed or abundant seating). Fan favorites include Earl Grey, strawberry, and seasonal jasmine matcha.

Bloom Café
1815 W Campbell Road, GarlandThe girly boutique coffee shop of your dreams, Bloom in Garland, exudes a “you can sip with us” vibe that’s all pink florals, with an adorable kids’ play area that somehow stays library-level quiet for those looking to set up shop. It’s owned by local food influencer @dallasfoodwanderer and her family, who clearly know their way around an aesthetic and a good collab, serving Oak Cliff Roasters coffee, pastries from neighborhood bakeries, and house-made toasts. Get the seasonal vanilla with ube cold foam if it’s still around, or opt for the flight of their biggest hits, which includes one matcha if you don’t mind commingling your caffeine.Chasen Matcha Bar
16 N Tyler St., DallasA weekend-only matcha bar tucked inside the former Hola Café space, this under-the-radar spot with barely any signage is strictly for those in the know. Chasen came to Dallas with one mission: to prove that not all matcha tastes like grass. Every house special is made with ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from Fukuoka, with standouts like houjicha (a sweet, nutty roasted tea), einspanner (Viennese vanilla), miso caramel, bougie berry, Oreo and taro cream top. For true aficionados, there’s also a collab with Brooklyn-based Kettl featuring small-batch varieties from Nishio and Fukuoka, complete with tasting notes if you’re ready to push your palate.

Junbi Matcha
326 W. Campbell Road, RichardsonIf you’re able to bypass La La Land for another local spot to sip, Junbi is low-key in the parking lot right behind it. They have a full menu of matcha lattes and soft serve, all made with finely milled green tea sourced from a 100-year-old farm in Japan. The name means “preparation,” and they take that seriously—ethically grown leaves, energy-from-the-Earth vibes, and a dash of wellness woo-woo, but it works. Madagascar Vanilla, Yuzu Dragonfruit, Sakura, and Rosewater are some of the more unique flavors, or get it dirty for the best of both worlds.Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko
9244 Prestmont Place #207, FriscoA new addition to Frisco, Premium Matcha Café opened in May to consistent lines out the door. Already well-hyped by those in the know, they have a few other U.S. locations, most notably in Hawaii and San Francisco, with all products imported from Uji, Japan. In addition to their tea, latte, and frappe selection, they’re equally known for their matcha parfaits, floats, soft serve, and Hawaiian-style shaved ice. Toppings include house-made goodies like shiratama (mochi balls), condensed milk, chiffon cake, red beans, and even a 24K gold leaf option if you’re feeling fancy. And since narrowing down the options was already challenging enough, we also recommend trying the hojicha, another type of roasted Japanese green tea with a sweet and spicy bite.Meccha Matcha
625 W. Pioneer Parkway #210, Grand PrairieA cult favorite in the food court at Asia Times Square in Grand Prairie, Meccha is the place to either dip your toes into the world of matcha or go for broke. Their playful levels: “I like matcha,” “I love matcha,” and “I’m obsessed with matcha," all with corresponding intensity, with the last one billed as the strongest matcha available in America. Sourced from a tea farm in Okabe, they offer both lattes and ice creams in all three strengths, ranging from a casual 85 milligrams of caffeine to a full-on jet fuel dose of 255 milligrams. If you’re feeling extra, the Matcha Dubai Chocolate Cup is just as decadent as it sounds, as is their eight-layer parfait stacked with red beans, brown sugar sauce, and matcha jelly.
