Matcha, you either love it or you hate it. But when you love it, you are totally addicted! This very fine powder of ground green tea with a slightly bitter taste has been very popular in coffee shops for several years, especially in Japan and the USA. And if matcha has been blossoming in pastries and tea rooms all over the city, we have been eagerly waiting for a place entirely dedicated to this Asian marvel. Well, it's now a reality with Midori Matcha Café, which opened on March 14 in the heart of Croix-Rousse at 52 Grande Rue de la Croix-Rousse in Lyon 4th.

The Matcha Paradise in Lyon

A true paradise for matcha lovers, this place offers a shop and a tea room where you can sit back and enjoy house creations made with matcha directly from Japan. When it comes to drinks, you can find classics like green and black teas, Traditional Matcha, Matcha Latte, Goma Matcha Latte (with black sesame paste), Matcha Frappé, and Matcha Latte Frappé. Among their specialties, the Strawberry Matcha Latte is a real favorite - a matcha latte with a bed of strawberry puree, a perfect blend of acidity and bitterness that hits the spot.

Sando, Basque cheesecake and Matchamissu

If the drinks are clearly doing the job, the big curiosity lies in the treats with a nice selection of savory and sweet creations that are truly irresistible. On the menu: homemade bagel, veggie and chicken sando, avocado toast, Basque cheesecake with matcha, black sesame or vanilla (amazing!), matcha cream puff, cookies and madeleines of the moment or even an incredible Matchamissu (a matcha tiramisu) that proves not to be too strong in matcha and should also delight those who are not big fans. Midori Matcha Café also knows how to surprise with temporary recipes like the mille-crêpes cake, a must-try!
