Matcha Latte at MatchaBar
@loveandloathingLA: I love that you can get a bit of the westside from Gjusta on the eastside! And the matcha croissant paired with the matcha latte are a match(a) made in heaven. The new NYC import is known for its matcha lattes, but also offers salads, grain bowls, and pastries from Gjusta at its hip new Silver Lake outpost.

Matcha Ice Cream at Midori Matcha Cafe
@loveandloathingLA: It’s hard to decide what to order at Midori when you want a little bit everything, but the matcha soft serve ice cream really is such a special treat I find myself craving all the time. The Little Tokyo-based matcha bar boasts a bevy of matcha drinks and treats, including matcha-infused ice cream and a recently unveiled lineup of matcha desserts with Pitchoun Bakery & Café.

Matcha and Rose Petal Petits Fours at Valerie Confections
@loveandloathingLA: Dessert is easily my favorite meal, and there’s truly something extra special about petits fours – especially Valerie Confections Matcha & Rose petal petits fours. They’re as beautiful to look at as they are to eat!

Green Tea Tereré at American Tea Room
@loveandloathingLA: If I have a go-to matcha beverage in Los Angeles, it’s the Green Tea Terere from ATR. This place knows tea and they always do it best! The chic tea house's signature drink features layers of green and white tea, sweet matcha, lime and orange juice.

Matcha Popcorn at Sweetfin Poke
@loveandloathingLA: For me no meal at Sweetfin is complete without a bag of their sweet/savory Matcha Pop – I’ll eat the whole bag free of guilt if I’m not paying attention! Made fresh each day with love by Chef Dakota Weiss.

Matcha Bubble Tea at Alfred Tea Room
@loveandloathingLA: When I’m feeling a boba craving or I don’t want just any old iced matcha drink, I head to Alfred Tea room to grab their famous matcha bubble tea! It never disappoints.

Matcha Push Pop at by CHLOE.
@loveandloathingLA: Does eating ice cream get any more fun than via push pop? I love that By Chloe’s is a great non-dairy treat, but so incredibly delicious to eat – especially their matcha push pop.

Matcha Crepe Cake at Lady M Cake Boutique
@loveandloathingLA: Lady M is the queen of cakes in Los Angeles specializing in beautifully intricate crepe cakes; my personal favorite flavor being their Matcha cake. It’s light, fluffy, not too sweet, and of course absolutely beautiful! The handmade, matcha-infused cake boasts no less than twenty lacy thin crepes enveloping a light pastry cream.
