No questions asked, Sawada Matcha is the prettiest coffee shop in Chicago. Opened by Hiroshi Sawada, the first Asian World Champion Barista of "Latte Art World Championship" in 2008, Sawada Matcha is the sister cafe of the original Sawada Coffee in Chicago.
Sawada Matcha is located in River North and has a completely different vibe when compared to Sawada Coffee - think more modern, more photo friendly, more Instagramable, same delicious matcha.
I'll let the photos speak for itself!
"What to order at Sawada Matcha" is really a preference question. They're famous for their matcha, hence the name haha, but specifically known for their military lattes. A military latte is a matcha latte with a shot of espresso. The mixture between the roasty espresso & creamy matcha is just unbelievable!! But regardless of what you order, you can be sure that it will come with the prettiest latte art. See for yourself below!
So if you're into beautiful lattes and a pretty interior, be sure to add Sawada Matcha to your list of places to visit when you're in Chicago next. Cheers!
