They enjoyed the matcha latte with mochi and ice cream, the black sesame drink, and the well-proportioned chicken sandwich. The chocolate matcha cake was still good but not what they wanted, and they didn’t like it overall.
The matcha parfaits have varied toppings and textures, feel balanced to share, and stand out among Melbourne dessert options. The 25th anniversary parfait with matcha nama chocolate was rich and intense, while the hojicha parfait was too sweet and tasted a bit weird; their matcha drinks are consistently good with minimal sugar.
The creator calls the place wholesome and highlights its menu, from onigiri and sandos to rice bowls and udon.
The matcha was their favourite: not too bitter or astringent, and slightly sweet. They recommend trying the matcha latte; the sandos were less impressive, though portions were large and good value.
The creator calls it a favourite go-to for good matcha and says the strawberry matcha latte, parfait and chicken nanban are delicious. Weekday lunch deals start at $25 and include a drink and sides.
The matcha Shiratama parfait was a nice treat with plenty to discover, but the matcha tasted too weak. The creator liked the mochi and says the Black Sesame Shiratama Float latte was pretty good, though the venue is pricey; they might return to try other menu items.
The creator says its premium matcha desserts and drinks are smooth and tasty, and that the visit took them back to Japan.
Japanese cafe specializing in matcha desserts and traditional savory dishes.
Summarized with Gemini · ReportFrom the moment I stepped into Nana’s Green Tea on Bourke Street, I knew I was in for something special ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cafe has such an inviting, minimalist setup—quiet, welcoming, and remarkably well-organised, which gave me complete confidence right away. The menu is fantastic: clear pictures and descriptions so you know exactly what to expect, with a vast selection so everyone can find something tailored to their taste. The staff were super warm and fit the calm aesthetic perfectly. We ordered both hot and cold matcha drinks, and both were outstanding! The latte art was beautiful, and the cold drink was so refreshing. I had already eaten before coming in, but seeing how gorgeous all the food items looked on other tables, I’ll definitely be back to try them next time. Highly recommended!
We ordered some rice dish but it was lukewarm but otherwise tasty. Overall a good place to have dessert but not a good food place but ok. Price is reasonable for Japanese cuisine. Matcha soft serve is quite good. They also offer free mochi only if you left a 5 star review, which is probably why they have a very high score.
Definitely lives up to the hype! Nana’s Green Tea in Melbourne is well worth the visit. The team provides exceptionally warm and friendly Japanese hospitality that makes you feel welcomed immediately. Their menu is extensive, offering a great balance of hot and cold drinks, delicious sweet treats, and savory options. The matcha and hojicha were absolute perfection; so divine, in fact, that I ended up returning two more times within a three-day span! Beyond the food and drinks, the comfortable seating and calm ambiance provided the perfect respite for me to decompress after a day packed with busy meetings. Highly recommended!
