Each year, I scour Austin for the best matcha desserts. I’m looking for matcha ice cream, pastries, cakes, donuts, etc. I’ve included my tried and true favorites, some larger chains, and one brand new spot I’m super excited about. If you know of a matcha dessert that I left off this guide, please comment below or find me on Instagram @discoveringATX to tell me!
This guide has been updated for 2025!
Before you visit somewhere, in order to avoid disappointment, please be sure to double check their hours, locations, and available menu items.
Kessho Craft Chocolate – Matcha gelato, cookies, and chocolates
601 W Live Oak St, Austin, TX 78704 // 6726 Burnet Road, Austin, TX 78757
Craft chocolate creators Liang Wang and Mark Huetsch are weaving together their favorite Asian flavors with bean-to-bar chocolate to create some incredible desserts at Kessho – right here in Austin. At the truck, you can enjoy scoops of ice cream, fresh baked pastries, or full-sized chocolate bars. They are always mixing it up with flavors, but often have matcha gelato (right now, it’s a matcha rocky road), chocolate (like these matcha cups filled with sweet azuki bean goodness or their ceremonial matcha chocolate bar), and pastries (like these matcha cookies).
Sweet Memes – Matcha Desserts
3801 S Congress Ave, Suite 109, Austin, TX 78704 // 115 Sundance Parkway, Suite 390, Round Rock, TX 78681
Matcha lovers REJOICE because Sweet Memes has arrived. Sweet Memes is a fun, beautiful tea and dessert shop with several matcha dessert options. My plan was to order every matcha dessert on the menu (because usually places only have one or two options), but Sweet Memes had at least 4 different items! I landed on matcha tiramisu, a matcha soufflé pancake, and the matcha mille crepe. I mean LOOK AT THIS MENU! I’ll have to go back for the matcha fruit Shibuya toast. Once you finally make your dessert choice, you can photograph it next to all their cute interior decor. It’s really the perfect foodie spot!
Fukumoto – Matcha Mont Blanc
514 Medina St., Austin, TX 78702
Fukumoto is an amazing Japanese restaurant located downtown. While most go for the yakitori and sushi (both delicious), I go for their Matcha Mont Blanc cake. It’s got a sponge cake base, a kind of whipped cream filling with red bean, and is topped with matcha icing. It’s so good! The matcha icing is earthy, not too sweet, and has a bit of grainy goodness to it.
Feng Cha – Matcha Desserts
Three locations in Austin (and one in Round Rock!)
Feng Cha is a delicious boba tea spot with new milk foam cakes! You can order a Matcha Love, which is a light, spongy cake coated with matcha milk foam and matcha powder. It’s so tasty! Also, according to their menu, it only has about 300 calories (which makes sense, because the cake is so light and airy). Bonus!
KANE – Matcha Tiramisu
406 W Whitestone Blvd, Cedar Park, TX 78613
Kane is a new, reservation-only sushi spot in Cedar Park. The rolls are packed with goodness (you won’t go hungry here, trust me), the tonkastu was super juicy, and the desserts are delicious. They have a matcha tiramisu that is worth saving room for.
Sushi to the Moon – Matcha Cake
15609 Ronald Reagan Blvd. B-260, Leander, TX
Leander is so lucky to have such a high-quality, affordable, local sushi spot. The staff is so kind, there’s plenty of parking, and their menu has everything you could want. Feel free to bring your family, even those non-sushi eaters! In addition to the classic and specialty tools you’d expect, they have noodles, bento boxes with various proteins, and unique fancier tapas. To top it off, they have tons of drink options and a few delicious desserts, including a matcha cake!
Uncle Tetsu – Matcha Cheese Tarts
6929 Airport Blvd #151, Austin, TX 78752
Uncle Tetsu Japanese Cheesecakes combine the richness of American cheesecakes with the lightness of French soufflés. They’re so spongy and airy, making them perfectly sweet and not overly rich. Uncle Tetsu has, Japanese Cheesecake, Basque Cheesecake, Cheesecake Biscotti, and Cheese Tarts (including Matcha!) The basque cheesecake looked SO good. I’ll have to try one next time. But you know I couldn’t resist trying a new matcha dessert – their matcha cheese tart!
Dotty’s Cafe – Matcha Gelato
6719 N Lamar Blvd Suite C, Austin, TX 78752
What a find Dotty’s was! This little cafe has it all – crepes, coffee, gelato, smoothies, pastries, cold pressed juice, bowls, and other snacks. I got their gelato (of course) and YUM it was so good. I got Coffee Brownie (my two favorite things, hello??) and matcha. The matcha was excellent! It wasn’t too sweet and was perfectly earthy. Inside the cafe, there are several tables so you can chill and enjoy your treats! Side note: I easily found free parking on the street behind Dotty’s.
Asahi Imports – Matcha Soft Serve and Snacks
6105 Burnet Road, Austin, TX 78757 // 3005 S Lamar Blvd Suite B-105B, Austin, TX 78704 (no soft serve on S. Lamar, but plenty of matcha treats!)
On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at the Burnet location, you can get an incredible matcha soft serve from Asahi Imports’ Burnet location for just a couple bucks. Swirl it with whatever flavor is on rotation, if you’re feeling fancy! I was completely blown away by this little treat. Asahi Imports is primarily an Asian grocery store, so they sell all kinds of awesome matcha and green tea candy and snacks. Be sure to stock up on all your favorite candies, pocky, and mochi before ordering your soft serve.
OMG Squee – Taiyaki Matcha Soft Serve and Mochi Donuts
4607 Bolm Rd, Austin, TX 78702
If your matcha dessert needs to be Instagram-able, then the OMG Squee matcha taiyaki soft serve is what you need. Everything at OMG Squee is gluten-free, including their taiyaki (if that’s important to you). I thought the soft serve was a bit too icy, but the matcha flavor was really great. And you can’t deny, it looks SO cute in photos! As far as I know, this is the only place in Austin serving a dessert like this. Pro tip: top it with toasted marshmallow fluff and a macaron. OMG Squee also sells absolutely adorable mochi donuts and matcha is a rotating flavor! If you want a box of these cut mochi donuts, I highly recommend you preorder and double check they have matcha as one of the flavors that week. OMG Squee is always updating their hours (they’re doing the MOST over there!) so make sure you double check before you visit.
Cottage Bakeries
Location: All over Austin!
BOM Bakeshop is a popup bakeshop that loves to spread joy! All of their items are 100% gluten-free and are made in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. They have constantly rotating flavors, so matcha won’t be available all the time – check the website before ordering to see what’s in stock.
Cookie Wookie Kitchen makes cookies (and so much more!) based on popular Asian inspired flavors. The dough is aged 1-3 days in small batches, to allow time for the flour to absorb all the flavors from the butter, sugar, and vanilla. I tried a box that included flavors like peppermint hot cocoa, coquet, toasted pecan anisette, along with black sesame cookies and cream, ube coconut, Vietnamese coffee with cocoa nibs and more. Tell me those flavors don’t sound delicious! My favorite cookie was the matcha pistachio, so a couple weeks later, I decided to order my own box of JUST matcha pistachio. The flavors rotate, so just double check matcha pistachio is available before ordering! You can order cookies for local delivery or you can find Cookie Wookie at various popups around town. Follow her on instagram @cookiewookiekitchen to see where she’s popping up next!
The Interrupted Baker is my latest cottage baker obsession. Her desserts are INSPIRED. Seriously, so so good. She makes a limited number of pastry boxes each week. If you want one, be sure to sign up for text messages to get reminders for when they drop. They sell out in SECONDS. She doesn’t always have matcha in her dessert box, but when she does… it’s the absolute BEST.
Beard Papas – Green Tea Cream Puffs
3220 Feathergrass Ct Suite 138, Austin, TX 78758
Beard Papas began in Japan in 1999 and have since expanded to over 400 stores in 15 countries and we are lucky enough to have one at the Domain! Beard Papas makes the “world’s best cream puff” and I have to say… they’re pretty dang good. SO MESSY, but good. First you pick your shell, then you pick your filling. Obviously, my favorite was the green tea eclair and the green tea filling! There’s a little bit of seating inside, but of course, there’s plenty of outdoor space at the Domain! If you’re not comfortable sitting inside, you can find a comfy spot outside to devour your cream puffs.
Sugar Pine – Matcha Ice Cream
8578 Research Blvd, Austin, TX 78758
Sugar Pine is a cute little neighborhood restaurant serving up some tasty Japanese cuisine. They have bento boxes, onigiri, beer, sake, and homemade ice cream. Matcha is one of their flavors and YUM is it good. It’s on the sweeter side and has a great matcha flavor. The ice cream is extremely smooth and creamy. I made a wonderful little lunch with some of their on-the-go onigiri and a scoop of matcha ice cream. If you’re ordering your food to go or doing curbside pickup/deliver, you can get their ice cream by the pint!
Snowy Village – Matcha Bingsu
1700 W Parmer Ln #244 Austin, TX 78727
Bingsu is such a fun little dessert. It’s a popular Korean shaved ice where the shaved ice bits are very fine and powdery – like snow! It’s light and fluffy and quickly dissolves in your mouth. Snowy Village has several bingsu toppings, including matcha! The shaved ice itself isn’t matcha flavored, but the top is powdered with it.
Dolce Neve – Matcha Gelato
1713 South 1st street, Austin, TX 78704 // 1109 East 5th street, suite 170, Austin, TX 78702
Dolce Neve is serving up the highest quality gelato in Austin, if you ask me. It’s incredibly smooth and creamy, flavorful, and SO fresh. Their matcha gelato is so powdery and delicious. I almost solely order their matcha when I visit. However, they recently added a new flavor to the rotation – Hojicha – which is roasted matcha and I MUST try it! Because they make everything super fresh and according to what fruits are in season, they have a lot of rotating flavors. Check ahead of time to make sure they have matcha or Hojicha!
85°C – Matcha Baked Goods
11301 Lakeline Blvd, #140 Austin, TX 78717 // 6929 Airport Blvd, #197 Austin, TX 78752
This place was recommended to me many times when I was looking for matcha desserts, and I can see why! 85°C Bakery Cafe was founded with the philosophy
of 5-star quality baked goods at affordable prices. Today, 85°C has over 1,000 locations worldwide! I’ve visited both locations in Austin and had excellent experiences at each one. It’s set up so that you take a tray and some tongs with you while you walk through all the bakery displays, picking whichever desserts look interesting to you. I’m sure their items vary from day-to-day, but I snagged a matcha coco bun and a matcha red bean roll on my last visit.
Other great matcha baked goods can be found at:
Tous Les Jours
6808 N Lamar Blvd Suite B-115 Austin, TX 78752 // 11301 Lakeline Blvd Austin, TX 78717
99 Ranch Market
6929 Airport Blvd. Austin, TX 78752
