Map and areas

The Matcha Club locations are among the most practical early options. The Bärengasse café opens from 7:30am on weekdays, while the Zürich HB branch starts at 7am on weekdays. Hegifret Kaffeefenster also opens from 7am on weekdays, although its focus is broader coffee and light food.
MatchaLand and matchahouse are the clearest choices for home preparation.

Check availability and preparation details before placing an order.
