The Good Stuff
Tea Range
One reviewer counted over 150 tea varieties, spanning loose-leaf and bagged options.
Aroma Selection
The display lets you choose tea through scent, including cloches and flavour-profile exploration.
In-house Matcha
The shop grinds its own matcha in-house, and customers can buy matcha to take home.
Creative Drinks
Reviews highlight creative options such as Pistachio Matcha, Strawberry Matcha and matcha mocktails beyond the classic latte.
Tea Desserts
Tea-focused desserts include matcha and hojicha soft serve, plus a creamy, floral Jasmine Basque Cheesecake.
Helpful Guidance
Staff commonly explain flavour profiles, tea origins and matcha, which is useful if you are new to the category.
Gift Shopping
Tea sets, gift sets, premium tea bags and matcha kits give shoppers practical take-home options.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try Flights. Start with the Matcha Flight if you want to compare five different matcha creations before choosing a favourite.
Use Aromas. Ask to choose by aroma first; the scent-led display helps narrow down a very large tea selection.
Shop Takeaway. If you like a blend, ask about take-home matcha, tea bags, loose-leaf tea or gift sets.
Budget Parking. Factor in paid parking: one review reported RTA parking at 6 dirham per hour.
Check Pastries. Inspect or ask about pastry freshness before ordering, given two reported pastry issues.
Allow Time. Allow time to browse and taste rather than treating the visit as a quick drink stop; the tea range is extensive.

The Bottom Line
AVANTCHA Tea Bar & Shop is a tea house and retail shop in Al Quoz where you can sit down for matcha and tea drinks, explore blends by aroma, and take tea products home. The strongest draw in the reviews is the tasting format: the Matcha Flight samples five creations, while matcha and hojicha also appear in drinks and soft serve. The range is unusually broad.
One reviewer counted over 150 tea varieties, with loose-leaf and bagged options, and the aroma-led display lets you smell teas before choosing. Reviews also mention in-house matcha grinding, organic high-grade matcha to take home, tea sets, and gift shopping. The Jasmine Basque Cheesecake and tea-infused desserts add a reason to stay beyond drinks.
The room is repeatedly described as stylish, minimalist, calm and cozy, though seating is not especially comfortable and another visitor wished the seating area were larger. Service is generally warm and educational, with staff explaining flavour profiles and offering samples; one first-time visitor said the opening service felt disorganised, but the issue was resolved. For practical planning, one review reported RTA parking at AED 6 per hour, so factor that in.
Check pastry freshness when ordering: a croissant was reported not to be fresh, and another review found a bug on a pastry. For tea lovers, this is more than a quick latte stop—it rewards time to taste, compare and browse.
