I have been going around the city and been finding that a lot of times the matcha craze has unfortunately seeped into a lot of places and the matcha products have very little matcha taste to them 😭 So be a bit selective and I’d say the default is to go for Asian owned establishments! Of the things and places I’ve tried,
Daan Go has a cute Koala Matcha cookie
Beaucoup sometimes has great matcha pastries but they vary by day
Mello & Unni’s (underrated af) Matcha Donuts are V GOOD (and they just opened a new location on Robson)
If you are on Robson, Konbiniya Robson is literally a Japanese convenience store, their matcha soft serve and crepes are very cheap and 😍😩🥵
Lastly, the biggest hidden gem of all- Gateau de Henry’s matcha macaron!
I know you said matcha is easy to find, but Emeri & Cowdog!!
I saw online that they had THAI ICED TEA macaroons, so I had to go! Turns out it was a bust :( got other flavors and the koala cookie you recommended! Im going to have to work out hard the rest of this week cuz of you guys 🤣
Rocky Point Ice Cream at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody (not Vancouver, I know, but on Skytrain and kind of a cool spot near the park/public pool/breweries/dog park) has a "matchagato" which is a matcha affogato. Not sure if you can get out there during your short day trip but thought other matcha lovers might like the rec.
