Zagreb's specialty café scene has developed steadily over the past few years, and matcha has taken hold across a handful of well-regarded addresses in the city centre and Gornji Grad area. Luta leads on rating, Quahwa leads on review volume, and Cogito Coffee brings international specialty-roaster credentials to a matcha-capable menu. All five addresses below are verified open as of September 2026.
Zagreb's top-rated matcha address, Luta holds a 4.9 from 502 reviews — the highest score on this list and one of the strongest ratings in the city's specialty café sector. A focused specialty coffee and matcha bar with a clean, intentional approach to its drinks menu. The combination of a high rating and a substantial review count confirms this is not a one-off result but a genuinely consistent address. The go-to first stop for anyone seeking quality matcha in Zagreb.
With 3,077 reviews at 4.7, Quahwa is by far Zagreb's most-reviewed café and has built an exceptionally broad following for its specialty coffee and matcha menu. A 4.7 rating held across more than 3,000 reviews is a strong reliability signal — this is the safest default recommendation for any visitor who wants a well-tested, consistent matcha experience in Zagreb's city centre. The volume alone makes it the city's most publicly validated matcha address.
CHI holds a 4.8 from 119 reviews — the second-highest rating on this list and a strong signal of quality for a café that is still building its audience. A matcha-focused address with a curated approach to its drinks, CHI is the right pick for anyone wanting something quieter and less crowded than Quahwa while still getting a high-quality pour. The relatively small review count at a high rating means this is a café that rewards early visitors before the crowds arrive.
ChiaCups holds a 4.7 from 470 reviews — a solid mid-list rating backed by a meaningful number of reviews. A health-conscious café concept with matcha as a central menu item alongside chia-based drinks and bowls, ChiaCups brings a wellness-oriented angle to Zagreb's matcha scene. With nearly 500 reviews at 4.7, the quality is consistent and the concept well-executed. A good pick for anyone who wants matcha alongside lighter food options in the city.
Cogito Coffee is one of Zagreb's most respected specialty roasters, with 1,189 reviews at 4.7 — the second-highest review count on this list. Originally built around its single-origin coffee programme, Cogito has expanded its menu to include quality matcha as part of a broader specialty drinks offering. The roastery credentials and large review base make this the most established specialty-café name on the list. The right choice for visitors who want specialty-coffee context alongside their matcha.
