đ” Sofia: The Serdica Gem Enjoys Matcha – Where to Get the Best Green Tea in Bulgaria's Capital?
Tags: #SofiaMatcha #MatchaBulgaria #SofiaCafes
Matcha Maya: Dobar den from Sofia, the beautiful capital of Bulgaria at the foot of Mount Vitosha! I am standing on the famous Vitosha Boulevard. This area is full of life and feels lively, with old history mixing with new things people like now. Today, I am here to see how this Balkan city has taken on the matcha trend. With me is Elena Ivanova, a food blogger from here who loves matcha. She knows all the best places in the city.
Elena: Maya, welcome to Sofia! The city has many parts from different times – Roman ruins, old mosques, and tall monuments are all together. People here love to drink kafe and ayran, but now matcha is a big favorite. It is new, good for health, and goes well with how we live here.
Matcha Maya: That’s great to hear! If you are new to matcha, where do you think is the best place to start?
Elena: You have to go to Moxie first. I think their matcha is the best you can get in Sofia. The place is really chill and the people who work there are always nice. You should also try Fie Coffee near NDK. The people there really love matcha – they bring in the top matcha from the Uji area in Japan. It gives you a real matcha feel!
Matcha Maya: What about something more cozy?
Elena: Then you should go to BABKA Coffee & Buns. This is a small and warm spot near the Serdika metro station. They have good pastries and a great strawberry matcha. If you want a real Japanese tea feel, you need to try OCHA.BG. The owner really loves tea and will tell you step by step how to make matcha.
Matcha Maya: And for matcha on the go?
Elena: ALLDAYS Coffee on Graf Ignatiev Street is great if you want to get your drink and go. The prices are good too. For a matcha and a nice city view, LATE Café & Roastery is a good place. They have a balcony that looks out over the city. The matcha options in Sofia are growing now, and there is always something new to try!
Matcha Maya: I have one last question that is useful. How do you get from Sofia Airport (SOF) to Vitosha Boulevard? This is the main shopping street, and tourists go there to buy matcha drinks or cakes.
Elena: Sofia Airport is around 10 km to the east of the city centre. The fastest way to get there is by metro (line 4). You can take it from the airport and ride to Serdika station. It takes about 20 minutes. When you get to Serdika, Vitosha Boulevard is close. You can just walk for a bit and you'll be there. A taxi will cost you between 20 and 25 BGN (€10–€13). The ride takes 20–30 minutes. It depends on how much traffic there is. When you get to Vitosha Boulevard, you will see a lot of cafĂ©s and shops. You can stop by and have a nice matcha latte!
Matcha Maya's Verdict: Sofia is a city with old history and new life. The matcha options here are full of color and feel, just like the many stories from its past. You will see both classic tea ceremonies and cool, new café spots. So, if you like to keep matcha simple or want to try new tastes, there is a green drink for you in Sofia.
