6 places to try the viral cereal matcha in Singapore

For foodies and casual sippers alike, cereal matcha has been making waves across social media feeds. From homemade creations to new additions on café menus, the trend shows no sign of slowing down, with matcha lovers eager to get a taste.

Whether you’re trying cereal matcha for the first time or already craving your next cup, finding your fix in Singapore is easier than you might think. From cosy home cafés to familiar mall chains, spots all over Singapore are serving up their own takes on the viral drink.

What is cereal matcha and why is it trending?

Cereal matcha starts with milk steeped in breakfast cereal for half an hour to overnight, so it soaks up the sweet, toasty flavours. Whisked with matcha, it becomes a creamy drink with a sweet-tangy finish.

Here are some of the best places to find cereal matcha across Singapore, so you can get your fix wherever you are.

Gotcha Matcha

If you’re a serious matcha lover, the drinks at Gotcha Matcha are a must-try. With a wide variety of creative matcha drinks on the menu, there’s plenty to choose from whenever you’re looking to get your matcha fix.

The Cereal Milk Matcha Cloud ($7.50) layers a generous pour of velvety matcha over a creamy cereal milk base, creating a nostalgic combination that’s hard to stop drinking after just one sip. Neither flavour overpowers the other; instead, the matcha and cereal milk complement each other perfectly to strike just the right balance.

If you prefer your matcha on the creamier side, do yourself a favour and go for the large — your wallet might protest, but your taste buds definitely won’t. Additionally, there are plenty of other flavours to explore, including the Banana Pudding Matcha ($9) and Earl Grey Matcha ($8.50).
