1. Matcha Cult
Matcha Cult offers an immersive “matcha experience store” that lets you choose the grade of matcha to suit your taste. Matcha Cult features a sleek, modern interior paired with a recycled table bar, creating a bold design statement. They offer signature drinks like Matcha Latte Honey Grape Foam, and desserts like Matcha Basque or matcha parfaits.
Matcha Cult uses three types of matcha levels: Minori (strong in green color, aroma, and less bitter), Kana (Sweet & strong umami taste, with stronger green pigmentation), and Kamui (the best matcha powder with high-quality taste, color, and aroma).
All the matcha powder from Matcha Cult is originally imported from Kyoto Prefecture. We highly recommend Matcha Cult as the top pick for anyone who wants the authentic matcha cafe experience in Yogyakarta.

2. Space Roastery
Space Roastery is known for its iconic coffee beans and signature slow bar experience. But little do they know that Space Roastery also offers authentic matcha-based beverages as part of its curated menu. Try their Voodoo (Matchapresso) or Matcha Latte for an umami taste.
Their Voodoo (Matchapresso) uses oat milk, a single shot of espresso, and matcha for a perfect combination. It’s a ready-to-drink beverage in a can; you can ask the barista to add ice to a cup for a more refreshing taste. For the Matcha Latte, they provide two milk options: regular and oat milk. We suggest you go with the oat milk option, because it tastes so much better, offering a nutty and sweet aftertaste.
Space Roastery typically features an industrial interior concept in its branches, but if you visit their branch in Mangkubumi, “Space 1890,” you will be amazed by the vintage interior of the 134-year-old heritage building. They combine the café and roastery models, making it casual and a good spot to hang out.

Located in Bantul, Sena Kopi & Patisserie is delightful if you do not mind a bit of travel from the city. They serve an interesting selection of pastries, cakes, matcha crepes, and other matcha-inspired desserts. Try their Matcha Cookie Bomb: a soft, pure matcha cookie with mascarpone in the middle, topped with their famous homemade matcha ice cream. It is so hard to say “No” to this!
Sena Kopi & Patisserie also offers “Matcha Dream,” a matcha latte topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream and matcha sauce. If you prefer something unique and are a sweet-tooth person, we definitely recommend this one.
