Your Matcha Guide: Where to Go in Nashville Right Now
There’s something about spring that pairs perfectly with matcha. The fresh flavor, the vibrant color, and that steady, feel-good energy boost. Whether you’re a longtime matcha fan or just starting to branch out from your usual coffee order, there are some standout spots around Nashville worth adding to your list this season.
Here are a few of my personal favorites to try:
Olle Korean Ceremonial Grade Matcha
If you’re looking for a matcha experience that feels elevated, Olle is a must. Their Korean ceremonial grade matcha is smooth, high quality, and the base for some of the most creative drinks around.
Favorites to try:
- Matcha Latte
- Banana White Chocolate Matcha Latte
- Strawberry Matcha Latte
- Taro Matcha Latte
They also rotate in limited-time flavors, like the Dubai Chocolate Matcha we tried, which makes each visit feel a little different.
For a fruity twist, Viet Tea Café stands out. My personal favorite is their strawberry matcha latte, and it’s one I come back to again and again.
It’s made with pureed strawberry, milk, and matcha, creating a perfectly layered drink that’s both refreshing and slightly sweet. It’s simple, but done really well—and feels like spring in a cup.
Forevermore (East Nashville)
When the temperatures start to rise, Forevermore’s seasonal matcha slushie is the move.
It’s icy, refreshing, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without being too heavy. If you’re someone who loves a cold, blended drink in the warmer months, this is an easy favorite.
Southerners (Franklin Drive-Thru)
Southerners is perfect for when you want something quick but still fun and customizable. Their matcha-inspired drinks start with green tea sweetened with vanilla, then layered with flavors like strawberry, vanilla, lavender, blackberry, and more.
The key here is to add the cold foam on top—it takes the drink to the next level and makes it feel a little more indulgent.
