Besides the delicious drinks, Cafe Gyoen Matcha Bar really stands out with its customizable options, such as strawberry and mango add-ons that add a fresh twist to traditional matcha flavors.

Located just a 5-minute walk from Telok Ayer MRT at 87 Club Street, it’s convenient for a midday escape from the city hustle. Something worth mentioning is their signature matcha burnt cheesecake, a crowd favorite that pairs perfectly with the earthiness of their matcha drinks. This combination brings a balanced sweetness and texture contrast that truly elevates the entire matcha tasting experience. From the OCR content, the indication of flavour intensity varying by preparation is spot on—whether you like your matcha straight with a more intense, grassy taste or mellowed out in a latte, Cafe Gyoen has options to suit your preference. Weekdays bring some interesting special concoctions like the umami bitter aroma matcha yuzu spritz, which intriguingly showcases the nutrient-dense crops from mountainous tea regions. If you’re hopping between matcha cafes, this spot definitely deserves your attention.
