The Airyday Guide to Sydney’s Best Matcha Stops

Five spots to add to your summer hit list, from creative matcha drinks to your next favourite neighbourhood café.

A Sydney summer calls for iced matcha, sunny catchups and finding an excuse to take the long way home. Whether you're meeting a friend, ticking off your Christmas shopping or just looking for a little afternoon pick-me-up, a good matcha stop always makes the day better. We've rounded up five Sydney spots to add to your list this summer. Think creative matcha flavours, cute café moments and the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy the sunshine.

Moon & Back, Rosebery For matcha and a little something sweet.

Moon & Back is a must for anyone who loves their matcha with a side of dessert. Tucked away in
Rosebery, this café combines Japanese-inspired drinks and sweets with a beautifully considered space
that makes you want to stay a little longer.

From matcha lattes to creative signature drinks and matcha-inspired desserts, there's plenty to explore
beyond your usual order. If you're in the mood for something a little extra, keep an eye out for its signature
matcha creations.

Our summer plan: Make it a catch-up date. Order something sweet, put your phone down for a minute
and enjoy a little time out of your busy Christmas schedule.

Ard, Stanmore For the matcha girl who likes to try something different.

If your usual iced matcha order is starting to feel a little predictable, Ard is one to add to your list. This
Inner West spot is worth checking out when you're in the mood to try something new, pick up a sweet
treat and enjoy a slower start to your day.

Our summer plan: Grab a matcha and something from the pastry cabinet before taking a little wander
around the Inner West.

NOIA Coffee, Rozelle For the slow morning people.

A little more low-key, NOIA Coffee is a specialty coffee spot in Rozelle that's worth adding to your
weekend rotation. With classic hot and iced matcha options, plus its Coconut Matcha Cloud, it's a great
one to bookmark if you like your drink with a little twist.

It's the sort of neighbourhood stop that makes a morning walk feel like more of an occasion, especially
when there's nowhere you need to rush off to.

Our summer plan: Pick up an iced matcha, find a spot outside and ease into the day. No packed itinerary
required.

Chubby Cubby Café, Sydney CBD For the fun, extra-creamy matcha.

In the middle of the city, Chubby Cubby Café is a great pit stop when you need a break from the Christmas
shopping crowds. Known for its matcha drinks and Asian-inspired sweets, it's a spot for anyone who likes
their matcha a little more playful.

Our summer plan: Make this your post-shopping reward. A cold drink, a little treat and a few minutes to
reset before heading back out into the city.

Tucked into Darling Square, Edition Roasters brings Japanese-Scandinavian-inspired café culture to the
city. Grab an iced matcha latte, or make a morning of it with their signature soufflé pancakes.

Our summer plan: Make it a stop on your next city day. Wander through Darling Square, grab a matcha
and take a little break from the Christmas shopping rush.

A little matcha, a little sunshine

The best summer days don't need a big plan. Sometimes it's a new café, a catch-up with your favourite person or taking the scenic route just because the weather is too good to head straight home.Save these spots for your next Sydney matcha run, try something new and make the most of those little summer moments.

And because Sydney sunshine doesn't take the day off, keep your Airyday SPF in your bag for those spontaneous outdoor plans.

Happy matcha hunting!
