Oslo's matcha scene punches well above the city's size. Ochaya – The Matcha near Grünerløkka is frequently cited by visitors from matcha-focused cultures as one of the best matcha cafés in Europe — a claim the 4.9 rating across 136 reviews supports. Elsewhere, Kuro Oslo's late Friday and Saturday nights and Bloom & Brew's relaxed Vulkan setting round out a scene that spans dedicated specialists, early-morning neighbourhood cafés, and late-night destinations. All five spots are verified open as of early 2026.
Oslo's dedicated matcha specialist and, by many accounts, one of the finest matcha cafés in Europe — rated 4.9 across 136 reviews. Ochaya occupies a thoughtfully designed space near Grünerløkka, Oslo's most design-conscious neighbourhood, and brings a Japanese sensibility to matcha that few European specialists match. The preparation is careful, the sourcing is serious, and the atmosphere is calm in the way that the best Japanese tea spaces are calm. Open Monday to Friday 10am to 7pm and Saturday to Sunday 11am to 7pm — the natural first stop for any matcha-focused visit to Norway.
Rated 4.8 across 353 reviews and the most versatile café on this list in terms of hours — open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, until 8pm on Thursdays, and from 7:30am on weekdays. Kuro Oslo's position near Grünerløkka makes it a natural pair with Ochaya for a full matcha day in the neighbourhood. The café has built a strong reputation across both its coffee and matcha programmes, and the late Friday and Saturday hours make it the only place in Oslo to get a quality matcha after dinner on a weekend night.
Rated 4.7 across 219 reviews and located at Vulkan 28 — a short walk from the Mathallen food hall and the Akerselva river. Bloom & Brew is the most relaxed setting on this list: a café that rewards a longer visit with a comfortable space and a consistent matcha programme. Open most days 10am to 7pm (Tuesday closing is 5pm), it covers the full daytime window well. The Vulkan location gives it a neighbourhood energy distinct from the Grünerløkka cluster further north, making it a worthwhile second stop on a café day in the eastern city.
Rated 4.7 across 47 reviews, Hakone Coffee at Økernveien 9 is named for the Japanese town renowned for its hot springs and traditional inns — an apt reference for a café that brings a calm, considered approach to its matcha programme. Open early (7am Monday to Friday, 9am on weekends), it is the best option for a morning matcha in the eastern part of the city, and the long weekday hours (until 8pm) make it the most practical choice for an after-work visit on this list. A neighbourhood café with genuine character and consistently positive reviews.
The most intriguing entry on this list — rated 4.9 across just 9 reviews, which places it among the newest and most word-of-mouth-driven discoveries in Oslo's matcha scene. House Hernández on Colletts gate in the Fagerborg neighbourhood opens on weekends only: Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. The limited hours and small review count reflect an early stage of trading rather than any question of quality; the 4.9 average from its first cohort of reviewers is exceptional. Worth watching as an emerging gem, and worth visiting on a Saturday or Sunday morning if you're in the western part of the city.
