What You’ll Find

Love Matcha occupies a narrow, minimalist space on Main Road in Rondebosch, clearly built around one drink and doing it properly. The décor is mostly a hit, though the AI-generated wall art throws a few visitors off. A small, odd note in an otherwise cosy room. What keeps people coming back is the staff, patient enough to talk you through the menu without ever making you feel rushed.

Food & Drinks

The menu shines with creative matcha twists, from the classic original to vibrant options like elderflower and passion fruit ginger-both praised for their unique, refreshing flavors. The strawberry matcha is another standout, with a sweet, fruity balance that’s worth the visit. Prices are a tad steep, but the quality and service justify the splurge. For a reliable go-to, try the original matcha with three pumps of vanilla-it’s a local favorite that delivers every time.

Best For

  • Grabbing a quick, Instagram-worthy matcha break between errands
  • A relaxed catch-up with friends over creative, non-coffee drinks
  • Treating yourself to a sweet, fruity matcha after a long day
  • Exploring unique flavor combos like passion fruit ginger for adventurous palates

Insider Tip

Skip the AI art and grab a seat near the window for the best natural light. If you’re watching your wallet, stick to the classic matcha-it’s just as good as the fancier options but easier on the budget.

What Customers Are Saying

“Tried both elderflower and their passion fruit / ginger matcha. Both good. Tad pricey. Cute place. Hate the AI art on the wall though.”

“Honestly , the workers were amazing, so patient and welcoming, they made us feel really good. Definitely a full 5-star rating! It was worth it, and I’d love to go again. I tried the strawberry and my friend had the mango one, both flavours made the experience even better than it already was.”
