Matcha Garden

Matcha Garden brings Japanese tea culture to Victoria Park, Perth, with a focus on matcha, hojicha and desserts. The cafe describes its drinks as a way to explore different matcha profiles, with each one prepared to show the depth and character of Japanese tea. Its online shop also reflects that focus, offering carefully selected tea products sourced from Japan, including tea powder from Uji.

Desserts are a major part of the experience. The range includes matcha and hojicha Basque cheesecakes, both described as gluten-free with a caramelised crust, as well as a black sesame Basque cheesecake and a kinako cheesecake layered with red bean and handmade mochi. There is also a strawberry matcha mousse cake with Lotus Biscoff. Customer reviews mention the matcha tiramisu, hojicha tiramisu and pudding, with the hojicha tiramisu noted for its presentation in a wooden sake box. These reviews also describe the portions as satisfying and the service as prompt.

The space appears to have a simple, cute feel rather than a formal or elaborate tea-house setting. That makes Matcha Garden a natural option for a casual dessert stop, a matcha-focused catch-up or anyone looking for something a little different from a standard cafe visit. It could suit solo visitors wanting to try Japanese tea and sweets, as well as small groups or families; one review specifically mentions a daughter enjoying the venue.

The business grew from its owners' passion for Japanese tea culture after they moved from Japan to Perth in early 2024. Matcha Garden says it works directly with tea farmers in Uji, Kyoto, with the aim of sharing a genuine taste of that region's tea traditions while building a sense of community locally. For visitors in Victoria Park, the appeal is the combination of Japanese tea, distinctive desserts and a clear connection to the people and places behind the ingredients.
