The space
The Matcha Lab is a unique little café nestled inside a dog grooming shop. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, which creates an unexpected but delightful experience for pet lovers. As you walk in, the sight of grooming pups adds a charming character that sets it apart from typical cafés. There are a few bar seats available, making it a lovely spot to enjoy a quiet moment with your matcha.
The food
During my visit, I opted for the strawberry matcha and the iced white chocolate matcha. Each drink was super smooth and delicious. The strawberry matcha was a delightful blend that felt well-crafted and not rushed at all. The iced white chocolate matcha offered a creamy texture that complemented the matcha without overpowering it. This balance is truly an achievement.
The cup
Served in both classic cups and tall skinny canned styles, the presentation of the drinks is as appealing as their flavour. Each cup I tried had a beautiful aesthetic. I appreciated the careful attention to detail, both in the preparation and presentation of the beverages. Whether you choose the regular cup or one of the trendy canned options, each sip feels special.
Worth knowing
You have the option to order using a touchscreen, which adds a modern touch to the experience. It has a grab-and-go vibe, but the option for staff to take your order is helpful for those who prefer a more traditional experience. The combination of technology and personal service creates a pleasant balance for visitors.
For dog lovers and matcha enthusiasts, this cozy café offers a unique combination of both worlds.
