Athens has developed a surprisingly strong matcha scene for a city defined by its coffee and frappe culture. Specialist bars like Boken Athens, Misa, and ERE Athens have established a high-quality matcha circuit in the city's central and Exarcheia neighbourhoods, while Ohayo Teahouse brings a dedicated Japanese tea-house approach. All five addresses are verified open as of April 2026.
Boken Athens is one of the city's premier specialty matcha bars, holding a 4.9 from 513 reviews — the second-highest rating on this list behind Misa, and backed by a substantial review count that gives the score real credibility. A focused matcha and specialty drinks destination with a curated menu and a following among Athens's specialty coffee community. The combination of a near-perfect rating and over 500 reviews makes this the most reliable single recommendation in Athens for a matcha-first visit.
Misa holds a perfect 5.0 from 61 reviews — Athens's highest-rated matcha address and one of the top-rated cafés in the city overall. A 5.0 at 61 reviews is an exceptional signal: enough data to be statistically meaningful, and a score that reflects genuinely outstanding execution rather than a lucky early run. A small, quality-first address that has not yet been overwhelmed by volume. The right pick for matcha enthusiasts who want to seek out the city's absolute best.
Myller is Athens's most-reviewed matcha bar with 973 reviews at 4.8 — the highest review count on this list by a substantial margin, and a 4.8 rating that confirms quality holds at scale. A well-established address in the city centre that has built the broadest matcha following in Athens. The most publicly validated option on this list, and the safest recommendation for any visitor who wants a proven, consistent address without having to seek out something newer or smaller.
Ohayo Teahouse is Athens's dedicated Japanese-inspired tea house — the address to visit when you want matcha in a ceremonial or traditional context rather than a specialty café setting. With 584 reviews at 4.7, Ohayo has built one of the city's most established matcha followings and is well-regarded for its full Japanese tea menu alongside matcha drinks. The right destination for anyone wanting the full tea-house experience: deliberate, quiet, and focused on the leaf.
ERE Athens holds a 4.8 from 273 reviews — a strong mid-list result and one of the city's well-regarded specialty matcha and drinks addresses. A 4.8 from 273 reviews is a reliable score that puts ERE Athens among the top tier of the city's café scene. A good choice when Boken or Myller are busy or when you want to explore beyond the most prominent names — the quality is well-documented and the address is established enough to be trusted.
