đŸ” Bucharest: The Little Paris Sips Matcha – Where to Find the Best Green Tea in Romania's Busy Capital?

Tags: #BucharestMatcha #MatchaRomania #BucharestCafes

Matcha Maya: Bună ziua from Bucharest, the lively capital of Romania. A lot of people call it the "Little Paris" of the East. I am on the beautiful Calea Victoriei. There are tall old buildings around me. The air is full of the smell of fresh coffee. The city is busy and full of life. Today, I want to see how the biggest city in Romania joined the matcha trend. I am here with Andreea Popescu. She is a local who talks about food online. She loves matcha and knows all the best spots in Bucharest.

Andreea: Maya, welcome to Bucharest! This city is full of both old and new things. You can feel East and West meet here. People here love coffee and bagels. But now, everyone is into matcha. It's new, good for you, and works well with how we all live and what we do.

Matcha Maya: That is great to hear! If you are new, where should you start your matcha journey?

Andreea: You really should go to Origo Coffee Shop first. It is one of Bucharest's most well-known coffee places, and their matcha latte is great. You should also stop at Cofe in the city centre. They make a matcha with oat milk that is just right. If you want to try something different, Accidentally on Strada Franceză is a quiet spot. They serve matcha in a new and fun way.

Matcha Maya: What about something more cozy?

Andreea: Then you have to visit Ganesha Caffe – a nice place that has a bohemian feel and serves a great matcha latte. For a more classic tea time, Ceai la Metoc has a calm setting where you can enjoy top-quality matcha. And if you like to share your drinks online, M60 in the Herăstrău area serves matcha that looks good and tastes good, too.

Matcha Maya: And for matcha on the go?

Andreea: Steampunk Coffee is the place to go if you want a fast coffee to take away. The prices are good, too. Bucharest is getting more places that serve matcha. There is always something new to try!


Matcha Maya: One last simple question. How do you get from Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) to Calea Victoriei? This is the main shopping street. People like to buy matcha drinks or cakes there.

Andreea: Henri Coandă Airport is about 17 km north of the city centre. The quickest way to get there is by taking the bus, line 783, from the airport to the city centre. This trip takes about 40 minutes. A taxi will cost about 60–80 RON (€12–€16). A taxi ride takes around 30–40 minutes, but it can take more time if there is a lot of traffic. When you are on Calea Victoriei, you will see many cafĂ©s and shops. You can grab a matcha latte and enjoy your time there!


Matcha Maya's Verdict: Bucharest is full of energy, style, and little surprises. The matcha places here feel as lively and rich as the city's past. You can find anything, from old tea routines to cool café trips. If you love matcha or want to try new food, Bucharest has a green drink ready for you.

Matcha Maya: And for a matcha with a view?

Hans: Enjoy your matcha while you look at the Sibiu Lutheran Cathedral. It’s a view you will always remember.


Matcha Maya: Here is a useful answer to your question. If you want to go from Sibiu International Airport (SBZ) to Piața Mare, there is more than one way to get there. Piața Mare is the main place in the city where people go to get matcha drinks or cakes.

You can take a taxi from the airport, and it will take you right into the city. A taxi ride does not take much time, and the car will leave you close to Piața Mare.

There is also a bus from the airport that goes into the city center. You can get off when you see Piața Mare, and it is not a long walk from there.

Both of these are good ways to get from the airport to where you want to go for matcha and cakes.

Hans: Sibiu Airport is about 5 km to the west of the city centre. The easiest way to get there is to take the bus, either line 11 or 12, from the airport. This ride takes around 15 minutes. A taxi will cost you about 20–25 RON (€4–€5). A taxi will take about 10–15 minutes. When you get to Piața Mare, you will see lots of cafĂ©s.
