Matcha obsession has taken over the world, and our city is no exception to that, so here is a round-up of where to get matcha in Newcastle…
In full transparency, I can admit that if I had to choose between an iced latte and a matcha, I would, in fact, opt for an iced latte. However, for those of you who are all about this vibrant green drink, here is a round-up of where to get the best matcha in Newcastle. Enjoy!
Tsujiri Newcastle
If you’re on the hunt for a matcha experience that feels like a little trip to Japan without leaving Newcastle, Tsujiri is your go-to. Their Matcha Kuromitsu Kinako Latte is a standout, blending rich matcha with roasted soybean flour and a drizzle of brown sugar syrup for a sweet, nutty twist. For something cooler, the Matcha Milk Frappe is a creamy, refreshing treat that’s perfect for a sunny day.
One Kitchen & Social
If you’re in Jesmond and craving a matcha with a twist, One Kitchen & Social is the spot to hit. They’ve recently introduced a new iced matcha menu featuring creative flavours like Spiced Banana Bread Matcha and Bueno White Chocolate Matcha. You’d be silly not to try them!
Deep North
With various locations across the North East, Deep North is a must-visit for matcha girlies (and boys!). Go there for their well-praised Pistachio Matcha Latte (you seriously won’t regret it) and grab their Matcha & Strawberry Cream Doughnut while you’re at it. Thank me later!
Olive Coffee Co
If you’re after a matcha that tastes good and looks aesthetically pleasing, Olive Coffee Co has got you covered. Their matcha is smooth, slightly sweet, and feels like a hug in a cup, especially when it’s iced and the sun’s out. Bonus points for the cute interior and the fact that they don’t judge you for taking ten photos of your drink before you sip it.
Priory Press
Located in Tynemouth, Priory Press is the kind of spot you stumble across and instantly want to gatekeep, but the matcha’s too good not to share. It’s smooth, subtly sweet, and made with care (you can tell). Grab one to go and wander down to the beach – it’s a recipe for a good day.
