12 Best Matcha Cafes For Strawberry Matcha, Hojicha Latte And More

1. Furiku

---

Furiku blew up on TikTok not too long ago for their affordable and large variety of matcha-based beverages. They currently have three outlets across JB: Sutera Mall, Aeon Terbrau, and East Ocean. Here, you can enjoy a delicious cup of matcha latte from as low as $3!

Despite the relatively low prices, the chain uses ceremonial grade matcha for their drinks, as you can tell by the vibrant hue of green they boast. Here, you can also customise your matcha latte just like how you would for a bubble tea drink: choose the intensity of your matcha, the base, and optional toppings! Base flavours you can pick from include strawberry yoghurt and taro. Else, go for their standard Matcha Latte, priced at RM10.

Check out our Furiku feature.

2. Slow Day Cafe

---

True matcha enthusiasts will enjoy the fare at Slow Day Cafe, an art jamming cafe that also offers an array of matcha drinks and desserts. They have a total of five matcha drinks here: Signature Matcha, Vienna Matcha, Matcha Espresso, Strawberry Matcha, and Yuzu Matcha. The Matcha Cake and Genmaicha Cake, priced at RM28 each, are also highly raved, boasting strong umami and roasted nutty flavours. 

During our visit, we  enjoyed the Matcha Espresso (RM17.90), which combined the grassy notes of matcha with the roasted flavour of coffee. If you’re a beginner to the matcha scene, you would appreciate the Strawberry Matcha (RM17.90), which has a nice hint of sweetness and tang from the strawberry compote.

3. Keijometo

A JB cafe hopping trip is not complete without paying a visit to the industrial-themed Keijometo, located just a stone’s throw away from the checkpoint. The viral cafe is known for Japanese-inspired fare with the likes of ochazuke and sando, as well as unique matcha drinks. 

Here you can enjoy specialty matcha drinks such as the refreshing Lemonade Matcha (RM15++) and Apple Matcha Tea (RM15++). Else, you can’t go wrong with the Strawberry Matcha Latte (RM17++) and Matcha Espresso Latte (RM16++/RM17++). Hojicha enthusiasts would also love the Houjicha Baked Cheesecake (RM21++) which has a rich, nutty flavour that pairs perfectly with the creamy cheese.

4. OFFFFive Coffee (Lavida Coffee)

---

OFFFFive Coffee is a popular cafe chain hailing from China, with several outlets across Malaysia. We paid a visit to their flagship outlet, Lavida Coffee, located in Eco Botanic JB. The cafe’s interiors are super Instagram-worthy, sporting an all-white look with bright neon touches. 

Though primarily known for their coffee, the chain also has a line of interesting matcha-based beverages. Other than the classic Matcha Latte (RM13.80), there’s also the Dirty Matcha (price TBD), Planet Latte (RM17.80), Donut Matcha Latte (RM13.80), and Strawberry Latte (RM13.80). Do note that the menu switches up from time to time and differs from outlet to outlet.

The Planet Latte comprises a blue milk layer, a green matcha layer, and a brown espresso layer, symbolising the various colours that make up planet earth. The Donut Matcha Latte, another lesser-seen beverage, consists of a torched foam which gives the matcha an added layer of toastiness.

Address: 48, Jalan Eko Botani 3/3, Taman Eko Botanic, 79100 Iskandar Puteri, Johor Darul Ta’Zim, Malaysia
Opening hours: Daily 7:30am to 9pm

5. Off Day Cafe

---

Off Day Cafe is another cosy, minimalistic brunch cafe to add to the list if you’re in the Eco Botanic area. They offer an extensive range of mains including the Salmon Egg Benedict (RM33+) and Classic French Toast (RM23+), as well as pasta dishes such as the Truffle Alfredo (RM32+). But if you’re not here for a meal, they also have a seasonal selection of cakes. 

Matcha fans would be delighted to know that they use the famed Niko Neko powders for their drinks. There’s the usual Matcha Latte (RM13+/14+) and Hojicha Latte (RM13+/14+), as well as the Matcha Yuzu (RM16+) if you want something lighter to beat the heat. 

My colleague and I also  enjoyed the Matcha Burnt Cheesecake (RM21+), which was rich and creamy with an earthy flavour. The burnt cheesecake leaned towards the charred side, which we appreciated! 

Address: 57 Jalan Eko Botani 3/7, 79100 Gelang Patah, Johor Darul Ta’zim, Malaysia
Opening hours: Mon-Thurs 10am to 6pm, Fri-Sun 9am to 7pm

But if you’re here for tea, get the crowd favourite Matcha Chocolate Cake (price TBD). The generously sized slice of cake is made up of layers of matcha sponge, sandwiched between decadent matcha cream and chocolate cream. Pair this with their well-balanced Matcha Latte (price TBD) for the perfect tea time experience!

7. Brooos & Co by JWC

---

If you’ve already ticked Keijometo off your list, another industrial gem you can check out is Brooos & Co by JWC. The super cool space is decked with minimalist and sleek interiors meant to replicate a modern office. Plus, they are just a 15-minute drive from the JB checkpoint.

Unlike most of the cafes in JB that use the Malaysian-owned Niko Neko brand of powders for their drinks, this cafe uses Marukyu Koyamaen, a popular matcha brand from Japan! You get to pick from three blends, Aorashi (RM18++), Isuzu (RM20++), and Wako (RM26++). The price of the drink is dependent on the cost of the powders, with Wako being the most premium. But for the most well-balanced flavour, we recommend going for the Isuzu variety. 

Check out our Brooos & Co by JWC feature. 

Address: 18, Jalan Sri Pelangi 4, Taman Pelangi, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor D’arul Tazim, Malaysia
Opening hours: Daily 12pm to 12am

8. The Blue Door Coffee House

---

The Mount Austin area of JB is full of great cafes, one of which is the aesthetically pleasing The Blue Door Coffee House. Here, you can scratch the matcha itch with their range of matcha-infused desserts and drinks.

For drinks, options include Matcha ah Yuzu (RM20), Matcha Yuri (RM14), Mokeren Genmaicha (RM14), and REN Matcha (RM18). If you prefer hojicha over matcha, there’s the Hojicha Honey Oatmilk (RM16). 

If you’re big on pastries, you might enjoy the Matcha Supreme (RM18), a croissant piped with matcha cream. Else, there’s the Matcha Basque (RM16), or the Matchamisu (RM22), which swaps out espresso-soaked sponge layers for matcha cake.

Check out our The Blue Door Coffee House feature.

If you love the idea of cold, sweet ice cream paired with a warm, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie, Creamery Boutique Ice Cream is a must-visit. They specialise in lavacookies and ice cream, similar to what Kooks Creamery offers in Singapore.

Matcha enthusiasts would love their Monsta Matcha (RM19.90), a skillet cookie with a gooey, bittersweet matcha lava filling. You can top this with any ice cream flavour of your choice, including Thai Milk Tea, Earl Grey, Berry Cheese, and Dark Cocoa.
