If you had told me five years ago that Miami would become a haven for matcha lovers, I probably would've offered you a cortadito and told you to get real. But here we are in 2025, and the matcha scene in the Magic City is not only thriving, it's downright ceremonial. (Get it?) From Coconut Grove to the Miami Design District, there's a serious green wave sweeping through our cafés, and it's no longer just about trendy vibes or Instagrammable espresso-based lattes (although I absolutely adore Miami's coffee scene). We're talking about baristas who treat matcha with the same reverence as a bartender stirring a Negroni.

In this guide, I'm ranking the eleven best matcha lattes in Miami, a list that spans sleek neighborhood staples, buzzy viral newcomers, and yes, even a couple of chains that earned their spot fair and square. At the top? A coffee shop in Coconut Grove, where the matcha pours are impossibly smooth and delicately balanced, proving once again that the Grove is the "it" neighborhood of 2025. And you'll definitely recognize an adorable food truck, the utterly charming little shop founded by two sisters that went viral this year. (We loved telling their story earlier in the year.)

These are the matcha lattes that hit just right: not too grassy, not too earthy, never chalky, and always crafted with care (no big-batch brews here). Many use ceremonial-grade matcha, and some come with a twist, with ingredients like yuzu, rose, and even house-made strawberry milk. While I hesitated to include big chain names because of their ever-expanding footprint, I had to give credit where it's due — people love them, and honestly, I get it. So, without further ado, here are the eleven best matcha lattes in Miami, sip-tested, ranked, and New Times-approved.

The newest coffee shop on the list (and soon it may move up a few spots) is Studio 24 in Edgewater. Founded by seasoned coffee shop owners from overseas, they've arrived in Miami with one of the coolest coffee shop concepts in a while. But besides the hip vibes, DJ booth, and soon-to-be podcast space in the corner, the matchas here are absolutely delicious, especially the "Geisha" made with strawberry milk, mango foam, and strawberry dust.

Coconut Grove's newest coffeehouse has already become a neighborhood staple for its coffee, but for yogis, Pilates aficionados, and the Gen Z crowd, its prized jewel is matcha. The matcha here is delicious and simple, so you won't find crazy combinations, but it is delicious. Plus, the breakfast and lunch menu is great, including its egg sandwich with pasture-raised eggs and Flour & Weirdoughs brioche. In addition to the matcha, the mellow and modern vibes make it the perfect hangout.
