Finding the Best Matcha in YYC: The Matcha Way

Calgary’s matcha scene is thriving, and one standout is The Matcha Way—a pop-up café that's quickly gaining a loyal following. Known for its smooth, vibrant matcha and creative flavor infusions, it’s a must-visit for both matcha enthusiasts and newcomers.

What We Tried

During our visit, we sampled the Strawberry, Ube, and Mango matcha lattes. Each drink was a delightful balance of earthy matcha and complementary flavors: the Strawberry offered a fruity sweetness, the Ube provided a rich, nutty depth, and the Mango delivered a tropical twist. All were smooth, not overly sweet, and showcased the versatility of matcha.

Where to Find The Matcha Way

The Matcha Way operates as a pop-up at two locations in Calgary:

• Wednesday to Friday, 11 AM – 3 PM: First Avenue Corner Store

• Saturday, 12 PM – 4 PM: Missy's This & ThatTikTokTikTok+2Instagram+2Reddit+2

These rotating spots offer a cozy atmosphere to enjoy your matcha fix.
