With temperatures rising and the warmth of spring in full swing, there’s no better time to slow down and experience the matcha magic!
Matcha is having its main character moment, and Dubai’s most stylish eateries are leading the charge. Think indulgent desserts, pastel-hued drinks, and bold flavour pairings designed to keep you cool, calm, and caffeinated from day to night.
1. Origami The Valley 77, Al Khawaneej – Matcha Tiramisu, but Make It Zen
Tucked away in the brand-new Origami at The Valley 77, this exclusive matcha tiramisu is earthy, elegant, and everything a summer dessert should be. With delicate layers, a creamy finish, and the kind of quiet indulgence that feels like a mini escape, this is matcha reimagined. For reservations, visit https://www.eatorigamisushi.com/.
2. Chaihona Marina – Matcha With a View
Indulge in Chaihona Marina’s refreshing lineup of iced matcha drinks, from the zesty Matcha Tonic Yuzu to the tropical Matcha with Mango & Coconut and the ever-so-smooth Ice Peach Matcha Latte. Paired with waterfront views by the scenic Dubai Marina, these vibrant blends are your go-to for the perfect golden-hour sipping. For reservations visit www.vasilchuki.ae.
3. Onda – Cloud Nine in a Cup
Matcha just got a pastel makeover at Onda. Think banana, pistachio, strawberry, blueberry, and lavender cloud matcha drinks, all topped with airy matcha foam and aesthetic enough to stop you mid-scroll. Don’t miss their Matcha Burnt Cheesecake, featuring a molten matcha custard core, silky textures, and a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. And for a bite-sized treat that still hits the spot. Don’t miss their chewy Matcha Cookie, soft, rich, and the perfect green companion to your drink.
This season, go green the cool way – one sip, scoop, and slice at a time.
