Just like lunchbox cakes, matcha has popped up almost everywhere in recent years. It used to be found exclusively in tea shops but now you can find it almost anywhere—in places that serve lattes, milk teas, cookies, doughnuts, ice cream, and even brunch cafes.
Matcha is a Japanese green tea powder created from finely powdered dried tea leaves. It has a slightly bitter, vegetal flavour and a brilliant green hue due to the high chlorophyll content in the leaves. It’s been a staple of traditional Japanese tea ceremonies for generations, and its health advantages have recently made it enormously popular in Singapore.
Today, we go deep into matcha in the most well-loved dessert on earth—cakes! We’ve expanded our guide from 7 to 10 venues, added delivery details, and compared every entry so you can pick the perfect slice. Here are the 10 best matcha cakes in Singapore…

Operating Hours: Sunday to Thursday, 11 AM – 10 PM; Friday to Saturday, 11 AM – 10:30 PM
Website: https://matchaya.sg/pages/menu-the-cathay
Matchaya takes the top spot for many reasons, but mainly because it’s a one-stop cafe for every matcha craving you might possibly have. Whether you want brunch (Osaka Fluffy Pancakes at S$16.90, Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry at S$15.90) or pure dessert, the sprawling menu delivers.
Their standout matcha creation is the Matcha Azuki Roll Cake (S$6.50)—a 100% activated charcoal sponge cake swirled with ceremonial Uji Matcha Chantilly cream and Japanese red bean (azuki). Matchaya explicitly uses Uji matcha sourced directly from tea farms in Kyoto, making this one of the most authentic options on this list.
The Tea+ssert™ menu also features the Signature Matchaya Yuzu Cake (S$10) and Pâte à Choux (S$6). Pair any dessert with a Cold Whisked Matcha Milk (S$7) for the full experience.
2. Hvala – CHIJMES & Other Locations

Operating Hours: Daily, 12 PM – 9:30 PM (last order 9:20 PM)
Website: https://www.hvala.com.sg/
Hvala is Singapore’s most recognisable name in Japanese tea culture, with four outlets in Singapore and one in Indonesia. The flagship at CHIJMES is styled like a minimalist Japanese tea house—calm, elegant, and perfect for afternoon indulgence.
On the cake front, Hvala offers rotating seasonal slices alongside perennial favourites. Matcha cake slices are priced from S$7.80 to S$8.90, with offerings like the Matcha Azuki mousse slice and rich layer cakes that balance bitter Uji tea with delicate dairy notes. The Matcha Azuki Parfait (S$14.80) is also worth ordering if you want a plated dessert experience.
For those who prefer vegan desserts, Hvala’s dairy-free matcha °1 gelato waffles (S$12.90) are a crowd-pleaser. Hvala also offers delivery via its online shop, with free delivery on orders over S$38—one of the few matcha cafes that ships island-wide.
3. LUNA Patisserie
Cake type: Matcha Opera Cake (mousse + chiffon)
Location: 53 Amoy Street, Singapore 069879
Operating Hours: Sunday to Thursday, 12 PM – 6:30 PM; Friday to Saturday, 12 PM – 9 PM
Website: https://luna.sg/
LUNA’s interior is lovely and modern, but seating is limited—arrive early or expect a queue on weekends. The pastries display complex textures and layered flavours that punch well above the price point.
Their Matcha Opera (S$8 per slice; S$80 whole cake) is the star of the matcha lineup: a matcha chiffon sponge filled with matcha mousse and matcha ganache, topped with matcha powder and Chantilly cream. Every layer delivers a wave of earthy, umami-rich green tea flavour—restrained in sweetness and deeply satisfying.
Their signature Orh Nee Cake (S$8.56) and the decadent LUNA 2.0 chocolate mousse (S$9.63) are worth exploring on return visits. LUNA is a compact cafe with decorative pastries in a relaxed Tanjong Pagar setting.
4. Lady M Confections
Cake type: Green Tea Mille Crêpe Cake
Location: Jewel Changi Airport, Orchard Central (#01-27 & #02-07), IOI Central Boulevard Towers, Marina Bay Link Mall
Operating Hours: Sunday to Thursday, 11:30 AM – 10 PM; Friday to Saturday, 11:30 AM – 10:30 PM
Website: https://ladym.com.sg/
Lady M is the brand that ignited the mille crêpe cake craze in 2005, and Singapore was one of its first international markets. After reopening at Jewel Changi Airport in April 2025, Lady M is once again Singapore’s premier destination for this paper-thin layered delicacy.
The Green Tea Mille Crêpe (S$12.80 per slice) features over 20 alternating layers of handmade paper-thin crêpes and silky matcha pastry cream—a textural marvel that melts on the tongue. It’s a premium price point but the craftsmanship justifies it.
Pair it with an iced green tea latte (S$6.50) or a hot café latte (S$5.50). The Orchard Central flagship remains the most spectacular venue, with its four-storey ceiling and dramatic open space. Lady M also ships whole cakes—check their website for delivery options.
5. Keong Saik Bakery
Cake type: Matcha Swiss Roll Cake
Location: 41 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089146
Operating Hours: Daily, 8 AM – 8:30 PM
Website: https://www.keongsaikbakery.com/
Through their trendy bakes and specialty coffee, Keong Saik Bakery offers a glimpse of traditional Singaporean sentiments in a contemporary bakery setting. The heritage shophouse on Keong Saik Road is a destination in itself.
The Matcha Swiss Roll (S$7.50) is the pick for matcha lovers—a soft, fluffy sponge rolled up with fresh matcha cream in the middle, dusted with matcha powder for that distinctive “dirty” effect. The balance between the light sponge and the earthy cream is spot on.
Beyond the roll, their Matcha Burnt Cheese Cruffin (S$6.70) and Matcha Almond Croissant (S$4.80) are excellent baked options. The bakery also does a great all-day breakfast set at S$5. Kopi-o and kopi-susu round out the traditional local coffee experience.
6. L’Atelier Tiramisu
Cake type: Matcha Tiramisu
Location: Clarke Quay Central, 6 Eu Tong Sen Street #B1-09, Singapore 059817
Operating Hours: Daily, 12 PM – 9 PM
Website: http://www.latelier-tiramisu.com/
The name says it all—this hidden gem specialises in what may be Singapore’s finest tiramisu, and their matcha version is a compelling east-meets-west creation.
The Matcha Tiramisu (S$7.50 per slice) swaps coffee entirely for the finest Japanese green tea. Biscuits soaked in green tea sit beneath layers of mascarpone cream laced with dark rum, finished with a generous dusting of matcha powder. The result is lighter and more refreshing than a classic tiramisu, with a pleasantly bitter finish.
Owner Judith learned tiramisu-making in France—not Italy—having lived in Paris for several years. The recipe was a family treasure that she tweaked with Japanese flavours, producing something truly unique. Finding the tucked-away store may just be the highlight of your Singapore dessert adventure.
7. Nesuto Patisserie
Cake type: Japanese Matcha Azuki Layer Cake
Location: 53 Tras Street, #01-01, Singapore 078992
Operating Hours: Monday to Saturday, 12 PM – 10 PM; Sunday, 12 PM – 6 PM
Website: https://www.dear-nesuto.com/
Nesuto is celebrated for cakes that are light, refined, and never cloying—a Japanese-French fusion approach that places precision over excess. The menu even suggests dessert-and-drink pairings to elevate the experience.
Their Japanese Matcha Azuki Cake (~S$11 per slice) sandwiches a wonderful blend of matcha mascarpone and azuki red beans between layers of light matcha cotton sponge, with a hint of rum to deepen the green tea character. Nesuto also offers a Uji Matcha Rare Cheesecake—a rare (no-bake) style cheesecake using authentic Uji matcha from Kyoto for an intensely green, silky texture.
Other signature items include Suzette (S$9.80), Blush Berry (S$9), and Yuzu Raspberry Cake (S$9). Nesuto now also has an outlet at Jewel Changi Airport for travellers seeking a final matcha fix before departure.
8. Edith Patisserie
Cake type: Strawberry Matcha Layer Cake (also Gluten-Free Matcha Chocolate Terrine)

Website: https://www.edithpatisserie.com/
Edith Patisserie stands out as one of Singapore’s most inclusive cake destinations, offering gluten-free, sugar-free, egg-free, dairy-free, and vegan options without sacrificing flavour. For matcha lovers with dietary restrictions, it’s an essential stop.
The Strawberry Matcha Cake (S$8.90 per slice; S$67.90 for a 6-inch whole cake) is their most popular matcha creation—soft matcha sponge layered with airy matcha whipped cream and hand-diced fresh strawberries, finished with strawberry-infused cream, freeze-dried strawberry slices, and gold flakes. It’s as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.
For those who need a gluten-free option, the Matcha Chocolate Terrine (S$18.60) is an outstanding choice—rich, intensely matcha-flavoured, and not overly sweet. Edith Patisserie offers islandwide delivery, making it one of the easiest options for gifting or celebrations.
9. Kagurazaka Saryo

Location: VivoCity, #01-59, 1 Harbourfront Walk, Singapore 098585

Website: Kagurazaka Saryo on Burpple
Kagurazaka Saryo hails from Tokyo’s Kagurazaka district and is renowned throughout Japan for its premium Uji matcha sourced from Kyoto. The VivoCity outlet brings an authentic Japanese teahouse experience to Singapore’s waterfront, with a menu built almost entirely around high-grade matcha.
The signature Brûlée Matcha Chiffon Cake (~S$8.90 per slice) is a revelation: a light and fluffy matcha chiffon sponge filled with smooth whipped cream, crowned with a caramelised sugar crust brûléed to order. The bitter matcha sponge, cool cream, and crackling caramel topping create a three-texture experience reminiscent of crème brûlée. It uses Uji matcha from Kyoto—the same premium grade used throughout the entire menu.
Also worth ordering is the Matcha Fondue with Assorted Sides (S$14.90++), where Uji matcha is mixed with white chocolate and served warm for dipping. The Nitro Tea (S$7.90) served with warabimochi and kuromitsu is another must-try that pairs beautifully with the chiffon cake.

Cake type: Kyoto Matcha Strawberry Layer Cake
Location: #04-01, 25 Playfair Road, Singapore 367990; also available online

Frequently Asked Questions About Matcha Cakes in Singapore
What is the difference between matcha grades used in cakes?
Matcha comes in three main grades: ceremonial, premium/latte, and culinary. Ceremonial grade is made from the youngest, most shade-grown tea leaves of the first harvest—it has the brightest green colour, the sweetest umami flavour, and the lowest bitterness. It’s designed to be whisked with water and drunk on its own.
For cakes and baking, culinary grade is generally preferred. Because heat, dairy fat, and sugar compete with delicate matcha notes, culinary grade matcha has a stronger, more robust flavour profile (with higher catechin content for bitterness) that holds up in baked recipes. Premium latte-grade sits in between—earthy enough for desserts but smooth enough to consume in lattes. Uji matcha, regardless of grade, refers to matcha grown in the Uji region of Kyoto Prefecture, widely regarded as the finest growing region for Japanese green tea.
Where can I buy matcha cake for delivery in Singapore?
Several bakeries on this list offer delivery. Edith Patisserie offers same-day or next-day islandwide delivery (free above S$150). Hvala ships cakes and bakes with free delivery on orders over S$38. Creme Maison Bakery delivers from S$18. Lady M ships whole cakes for special occasions. For last-minute needs, Edith Patisserie’s Cake Bar (online ordering platform) often has same-day slots available.
What is the best matcha cake for gifting in Singapore?
Creme Maison Bakery’s Kyoto Matcha Strawberry cake is our top pick for gifting—it’s beautifully designed, comes in multiple sizes (including a generous two-tier option), and uses premium Kyoto matcha. For a more accessible price point, Edith Patisserie’s Strawberry Matcha Cake (from S$67.90 for 6 inches) is elegant, delivers islandwide, and suits most dietary needs. If the recipient is a mille crêpe fan, a whole Lady M Green Tea Mille Crêpe is an unforgettable luxury gift.
Is there a vegan matcha cake in Singapore?
Yes. Hvala’s dairy-free matcha gelato waffles (S$12.90, oat milk based) are a vegan-friendly dessert. Edith Patisserie offers a range of vegan cakes and can accommodate dairy-free and egg-free requests—check their website’s Healthier Options section. NutriJoy Vegan offers a dedicated Matcha Green Tea Cake (from S$35) made with ceremonial-grade matcha and 100% plant-based ingredients. Cedele’s Vegan Matcha Chocolate Cheesecake (from S$60) is another strong option available across their outlets island-wide.
Which Singapore matcha cakes use Japanese Uji matcha?
Several venues on this list explicitly use or source Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture. Matchaya uses Uji matcha in their Matcha Azuki Roll Cake and soft serve, sourcing directly from Japanese tea farms. Nesuto Patisserie uses Uji matcha in their Rare Cheesecake. Kagurazaka Saryo is built entirely around premium Uji matcha from Kyoto—it’s in every item on their menu. Creme Maison Bakery uses Kyoto matcha (Uji region) in their Swiss meringue buttercream and sponge layers. When a cafe specifies “Uji matcha” or “Kyoto matcha”, it signals a commitment to the highest-grade Japanese tea—a meaningful quality indicator.
