Vienna’s matcha scene has exploded in the last few years. From Instagrammable takeaways to Japanese-inspired tea houses, there’s no shortage of places claiming to serve the best matcha in Vienna, but not all are worth your time (or money).

This guide isn’t a complete roundup of every matcha place in the city. It’s a list of spots I’ve personally visited (and I’ve visited a LOT), based on my honest experience as someone who drinks a lot of matcha.

Some places are fully vegan, some offer food or sweets alongside their matcha, and others are best for a quick takeaway. I’ll walk you through what to expect at each one, so you can find the right matcha moment for you.

1. Rami Tea & Matcha: Cozy, Minimalist, and Fully Vegan

A bowl of matcha latte with a white flower-shaped design in the foam, held up inside a minimalist tea shop with pottery and teapots on display in the background.

Serene tea tasting space inside a Vienna tea boutique, featuring packaged matcha, a ceramic teapot, a burning candle, and shelves lined with tea-related products.

Rami Tea is a tiny matcha bar with a warm, back-to-basics feel. There’s just one big shared table inside, which gives it a cosy, communal vibe. The menu is short: classic matcha, salty vanilla matcha, or matcha with just water, but the quality is great.

The matcha was super smooth, and everything here is fully vegan, which I love.

You can also browse ceramics, matcha powders and teas while you’re there. They usually have mochi, though they were out when I visited.

2. Green Tea Blue Sky: For Traditional Matcha and Expert Guidance

Green Tea Blue Sky is mainly an online shop, but on Fridays and Saturdays they open a small space where you can drop by for a cup. It’s tucked slightly below street level, and when I went, there was construction out front, so it’s easy to miss.

The owner was very kind and passionate about quality matcha. I was the only customer there, and we chatted while she prepared my traditional matcha (no milk).

She first made it with less water and asked if I’d like more added, such a thoughtful touch, especially if you’re new to traditional matcha. It was a little bit bitter, but in a good way, bold and grounding.

They sell different matcha powders and a few other Japanese food items. The owner even makes some of the ceramic bowls herself, which you can also buy in-store. And on Saturdays they also often host events like tea tastings or ceremonies.

Dine-in: Yes, sitting at the counter, no tables
Food: No
Price: Varies by preparation
Matcha options: Traditional matcha, matcha latte with oat milk
Other drinks: Oolong tea, green tea
Best for: Learning about matcha from someone who truly cares

MiSA is more of a shop than a café. There’s no seating, but if you’re into matcha (or hojicha), this is a great place to grab a drink and browse their powder selection.

I’ve tried both their drinks and brought some powder home, it’s a good spot if you’re serious about making matcha at home yourself. You can test out there things and then buy some for home.

They also host different workshops in English, usually on a Sunday. So far, I haven’t done one yet but it’s definitely on my want to do list!

Dine-in: No (takeaway only)
Food: No
Price: Varies
Matcha options: Traditional Matcha, Matcha Latte with different flavour options
Other drinks: Hojicha
Best for: Grabbing a quality matcha to go or stocking up on tea
Opening times: Monday–Saturday, Midday – 6pm
Adress: Westbahnstraße 4, 1070 Wien

4. Cha No Ma 茶の間: Best Matcha for Flavour

Interior of a Japanese-themed tea shop in Vienna featuring neatly arranged shelves of matcha products, teaware, and accessories under warm lighting and bamboo décor.

Cha No Ma is one of my favourites when it comes to flavour. It’s a small Japanese-style tea house that focuses on quality matcha without the frills.

It was packed when I visited, so I didn’t stay long, but the americano-style matcha (just matcha and water) was incredibly smooth, not bitter at all.

They also offer seasonal flavours like gingerbread in winter and a few snacks like mochi, cookies, and onigiri (with vegan options).

Dine-in: Yes, but space is very limited
Food: Small snacks (some savoury, some sweet)
Price: starting at €3.90 for a small Matcha Latte
Matcha options: Matcha Latte, Matcha Smoothie, Matcha Float, Traditional Matcha
Other drinks: Kinako Latte, Hojicha, different teas
Best for: matcha lovers who want to try something unique
Opening times: Monday–Saturday, 11am – 6pm
Adress: Faulmanngasse 7, 1040 Wien

5. THE NEW GREEN: Aesthetic Takeaway Spot

THE NEW GREEN is made for Instagram. The drinks are colourful, the branding is on point, and you’ll probably see people filming TikToks while you’re there (yes, me too). I tried the mango and strawberry matcha lattes, they’re good but nothing special.

There are a couple of tiny tables inside, but the space feels sterile and not really meant for hanging out. All drinks come in single-use cups, so it’s best as a takeaway stop.

Dine-in: Technically yes, but not cosy
Food: No
Price: €5.90 for a matcha latte
Matcha options: Matcha Latte, Fruity Matcha Latte (daily flavour), Passion Fizz Matcha (with tonic water)
Other drinks: Lychee Jasmine, Hojicha Latte, Hazelnut Hojicha Latte
Best for: Eye-catching drinks on the go
Opening times: Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 5pm
Adress: Neustiftgasse 20, 1070 Wien

6. Chasen Brew: Cute Aesthetic but Flavour Missed the Mark

Minimalist café interior in Vienna with terrazzo tables, wooden stools, indoor plants, and a display shelf of matcha product bags and orange takeaway cups.

Chasen Brew is probably the most Instagrammable sit-down matcha spot in Vienna. Their iced drinks come in cool glasses, and the whole place has a stylish look. It’s great for taking photos and actually sitting down, which makes it stand out.

But flavour-wise, it didn’t quite do it for me. I went there with my boyfriend and we tried both the traditional matcha and a mango matcha latte.

The traditional one was overly bitter. And the mango matcha latte, made with vanilla soy milk, was way too sweet for my taste. It probably would’ve been better with a more neutral milk. Most online reviews rave about their matcha latte.

They also sell small cakes and baked donuts, which look really cute. Nothing is labelled vegan, but when I asked, I was told most of them actually are. We didn’t try any, though, so I can’t say how they taste.

Dine-in: Yes
Food: Cakes and donuts (not labelled, ask for vegan options)
Price: €6 for a Matcha Latte
Matcha options: Traditional Matcha, Matcha Latte, Fruity Matcha Latte
Other drinks: Coffee, Chai Latte
Best for: Cute café vibes and sitting in
Opening times: Mo – Fri, 8am – 6pm, and Sa, Sun 9am – 6pm
Adress: Rilkeplatz 2, 1040 Wien

7. Bert Coffee and Matcha: Tiny Spot with a Dirty Matcha Option

Counter at BERT café in Vienna with stacks of branded cups, a menu board listing matcha drinks, and various packaged teas and baked goods displayed on a curved glass-block bar.

Close-up of a vibrant matcha latte with leafy latte art in a dark blue cup, held inside a trendy café-meets-boutique space with racks of clothing and a casual atmosphere in Vienna.

Bert is a super small café with one table at the front and a 3 tiny ones in the back, cozy, but not somewhere you’d linger long. I had a matcha latte with oat milk and a slice of vegan banana bread, which was really nice.

It’s also the only place I know in Vienna that serves a dirty matcha (matcha with an espresso shot), though I didn’t try it because I actually wanted to sleep that night.

A small heads-up: there’s no toilet, so keep that in mind.

Dine-in: Yes, very limited indoor seating
Food: Small cake selection (banana bread is the only vegan option)
Price: €6 for a Matcha Latte
Matcha options: Matcha Latte, Dirty Matcha, Iced Fruity Matcha (Strawberry, Raspberry, or Mango), Protein or Collagen Matcha
Other drinks: Coffee, Chai Latte, Dirty Chai Latte, Tea
Best for: A quick matcha stop in a compact space
Opening times: Mo – Fri 8:30 am – 7 pm; Sa – Sun 9:30 am – 7 pm
Adress: Fleischmarkt 20, 1010 Wien

Restaurants with Great Matcha

Not every good matcha spot in Vienna is a dedicated tea bar. A couple of restaurants serve excellent matcha alongside their meals, making them perfect if you’re craving both food and a matcha fix.

8. Uudam: All-Vegan with Amazing Drinks

A wooden tray holding two tall glasses of layered beverages in a modern café with a plant-filled interior. One drink has a green and white gradient, while the other transitions from dark brown to creamy white, both topped with foam. Two glasses of water accompany the drinks, with a cozy, aesthetic ambiance in the background. — The drinks alone are worth it!

Uudam is one of my favourite vegan restaurants in Vienna, not just for the food, but for the drinks too. Their matcha is really smooth and well-balanced, and they also serve other great drinks like Thai Tea Latte, which is such a nice find in Vienna.

It’s a small sit-down restaurant near the university, perfect for lunch. Everything is 100% vegan, and the atmosphere is relaxed. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy a full meal and a good matcha, this is a fantastic option.

Dine-in: Yes
Food: Full menu (Vietnamese cuisine)
Price: €5.90 for Matcha Latte (Medium size)
Matcha options: Matcha Vanilla Latte, Coconut Matcha, Caramel Matcha, Mango Matcha, Aloe Matcha, Traditional Matcha
Other drinks: Thai Tea Latte, Vietnamese Coffee, Tea, Tea Lemonade, Tea Latte
Best for: A proper meal with excellent drinks in an all-vegan spot
Opening times: Monday – Friday, 11am – 7pm (closed during university holidays)
Adress: Spitalgasse 13, 1090 Wien

9. Mari’s Metcha Matcha: Japanese-Style Tea House Vibes

A cozy tea setup with two bowls of freshly whisked matcha and a small dessert plate with a strawberry daifuku, fresh berries, and a mint leaf on a wooden tray.

Mari’s Metcha Matcha feels like what I imagine a Japanese teahouse to be. It’s not a fully vegan place (they do have meat dishes), but there are vegan lunch options, and the matcha drinks are where they really shine.

We tried two different things: a matcha latte with bean paste and a traditional matcha set with mochi and strawberry. Both were delicious and beautifully presented.

The space is quiet and more of a restaurant than a café, but you can definitely drop in just for a drink and snack.

Dine-in: Yes
Food: Lunch options + traditional Japanese sweets (mochi etc.)
Price: €4.20 for a Matcha Matte
Matcha options: Traditional Matcha, Matcha Latte, Matcha Azuki Latte, Matcha Yuzu Latte, Matcha Smoothie (last two are not vegan)
Other drinks: Coffee, Japanese Tea, Tea, Beer, Wine, Non-alcoholic drinks
Best for: A sit-down matcha moment with a Japanese vibe
Opening times: Daily, Midday – 10pm
Adress: Neustiftgasse 7, 1070 Wien

A Couple of Spots That Didn’t Work for Me

These are places I’ve personally tried but wouldn’t go back to for matcha. That doesn’t mean they’re bad overall, just not the right fit for me. If you’ve had a better experience, great! But here’s why they didn’t quite do it for me.

10. Celina’s Matcha Coffee Club

Close-up of a hand holding an iced matcha drink with a layer of strawberry purée, branded with "Celina’s Matcha & Coffee Club," inside a minimalist beige-toned café in Vienna with tiered seating and pastel cushions.

I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk at Celina’s and was asked if I wanted foam. When I checked if the foam was vegan, the barista said no, and then followed up by saying “vegan milk doesn’t foam”. That really put me off.

The drink I got looked a bit sad and didn’t taste great either. Other places manage vegan foam just fine.

11. Revive Health Bar

I love their smoothies and açaí bowls, but the matcha latte was disappointing, it just tasted like a glass of milk. Not much matcha flavour at all. I’d go back for their other offerings, but not for matcha.

Best Cafes in Vienna

Matcha is definitely having a moment in Vienna, and luckily, there’s no shortage of places to try it.

And while this guide focuses on dedicated matcha spots (plus a few standout restaurants), you’ll also find matcha on the menu at lots of cool cafés around the city.

If you’re curious about those, check out my guide to the best vegan cafes in Vienna for even more great spots.

If you’re more into the atmosphere of a café instead of that it’s all vegan, I’ve also put together a post all about the coolest cafes in Vienna (coming soon).
