It’s not easy being green — but in Indy, it is easy to get your daily caffeine fix in Kermit’s signature shade, thanks to our influx of coffee shops serving matcha drinks.
Here are a few places that brew up a marvelous cup of matcha.
Recess | Indy’s first matcha cafe, which just opened last month, serves fresh, ceremonial-grade matcha in a warm and cozy space built for relaxing with friends. If you fall in love with its blends, you can buy a freshly-ground tin to make your own drinks at home.
Whether you opt for a matcha, a golden latte, or a Mayan mocha, Bovaconti is always a good choice.

Bovaconti | The always-Instagrammable coffee shop is known for its espresso, but don’t sleep on its matcha latte. Pro tip: Opt for oat milk to bring out + balance its bold flavor.
The Coffee Haus at Guggman Haus Brewing Co. | It just feels right to order green drinks from this cute green coffeehouse. We love the Aurora Berryalis, which blends vibrant matcha with steamed milk and blackberry.
Blue Mind Coffee | This shop serves organic Rishi matcha. Pro tip: Keep an eye out for its seasonal menus, which often feature matcha drinks — like last spring’s “Sakura Matcha” with orange, brown sugar, and oat milk, topped with cherry blossom coconut cold foam.
The Alchemist | We recommend pairing the creamy matcha latte from this coffee-to-cocktails spot with an apple galette.
Amberson Coffee | In addition to matcha, Amberson also serves hojicha, a Japanese green tea that is roasted instead of steamed, resulting in a brownish color and a mellow, chocolatey taste.
Did we skip a spot you love? We’re green with envy — please share the love.
