Cafe Kentaro, a unique matcha and café spot in Sydney's popular Surry Hills, is hidden in luscious green alleys. This wonderful establishment has perfected the art of combining traditional Japanese elements with modern café culture, making it a great place to relax in the afternoon or escape the morning rush. We tried their Matcha Latte, strawberry matcha latte, and hojicha among their many choices.
Cafe Kentaro's Matcha Latte stands out with its unique Japanese flavors and health benefits. The combination of matcha's natural bitterness and the creamy sweetness of milk, which is accomplished by expert whisking, creates a visually and gustatorily delightful texture that is rich and velvety, with a bright green hue. With its velvety milk base and umami packed, astringent flavor profile, the Strawberry Matcha Latte is a bold, visually appealing spin on the classic drink. The signature matcha is blended with freshly selected strawberries for a one-of-a-kind flavor character. In contrast to the bright vibrancy of matcha, the Hojicha Latte offers a nutty, caramel-like flavor from roasted green tea, creating a smokier, cozier experience. This makes it a beloved option for those seeking a different kind of tea at Kentaro.
Customer reviews call the Matcha Latte creamy, strong, and flavorful, and some say it must be tried. Cafe Kentaro's Strawberry Matcha Latte is delightful with strawberry and matcha tastes. Customers like the creamy texture and balanced strawberry matcha flavor. This matcha latte twist is popular and tasty. However, Hojicha is known for its roasted, earthy, and not-too-sweet taste, making it unique and pleasant. Many customers have praised the cafe's ability to capture the spirit of these Japanese inspired drinks.
It would be a miss of anyone visiting Sydney without stopping by Cafe Kentaro for their matcha fix. If you're a fan of matcha or just want to try something new, you'll love the strawberry matcha latte, matcha latte or hojicha. Therefore, what are you waiting for? If you want to experience the most delectable fusion of classic and modern flavors, you must visit Cafe Kentaro.
