Dallas Welcomes Matcha & Creme, One of the City’s First Matcha-First Cafés
Dallas continues to expand its already impressive food and beverage scene, and the latest addition is creating buzz among matcha enthusiasts. Matcha & Creme has officially opened at 10455 N. Central Expy. #106 near North Central Expressway (US-75) and Walnut Hill Lane, bringing a café concept that puts ceremonial-grade matcha ahead of traditional espresso drinks.
According to CultureMap Dallas, while matcha has become one of the fastest-growing beverage trends in recent years and is now available in many cafés throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Matcha & Creme is one of the first cafés located in Dallas proper to build its entire identity around a matcha-first experience.
For Dallas residents looking for a new coffee shop, tea bar, or unique local business to explore, Matcha & Creme introduces something noticeably different from the typical neighborhood café.
What Makes Matcha & Creme Different?
Most cafés begin with espresso as the foundation of their menu, offering matcha as just another drink option. Matcha & Creme flips that idea.
Instead of treating matcha as a secondary menu item, the café was intentionally designed with ceremonial-grade matcha as its primary focus. While customers can still order espresso-based favorites such as cappuccinos and flavored lattes, the spotlight remains on handcrafted matcha beverages made with carefully selected ingredients and house-made flavors.
According to CultureMap Dallas, founder Muhammad Motiwala wanted to create a boutique café that emphasizes craftsmanship and the overall customer experience rather than simply serving another cup of coffee.
That philosophy helps distinguish Matcha & Creme within Dallas’ competitive specialty coffee market.

The beverage menu offers a variety of creative matcha drinks designed for both longtime matcha fans and newcomers interested in trying something different.
Some of the featured beverages include:
- Strawberry Matcha Latte

- Jasmine Matcha Cloud
- Pink Coconut Matcha Cloud

According to the article, most matcha drinks are priced around $7.
Beyond matcha, visitors can also choose from espresso drinks including cappuccinos and flavored lattes. One of the café’s bestselling drinks is the Tiramisu Latte, topped with mascarpone foam. Other flavor options include Cookie Butter, Midnight Mocha, and Salted Maple.
The café also serves pastries including croissants along with carrot cake and cinnamon cake muffins, giving customers a complete café experience whether they’re stopping in for breakfast, an afternoon drink, or a casual meeting.
A New Addition to Dallas’ Growing Café Scene
Dallas has become home to an increasingly diverse collection of locally owned coffee shops and specialty cafés. The arrival of Matcha & Creme reflects how consumer tastes continue to evolve, with many people looking beyond traditional coffee toward premium teas, handcrafted beverages, and unique café experiences.
Rather than competing solely on coffee, Matcha & Creme has chosen to specialize in an area that continues to gain popularity across North Texas while offering customers something that remains relatively uncommon within Dallas itself.
The Vision Behind Matcha & Creme
According to CultureMap Dallas, Matcha & Creme was founded by Muhammad Motiwala, a recent graduate of The University of Texas at Dallas. Before opening the café, he built a successful photography and videography business while attending college. His passion for coffee and tea eventually inspired him to pursue a different entrepreneurial path.
Motiwala told CultureMap Dallas that he saw a gap in the market for a boutique café where matcha is the primary focus rather than an afterthought. His vision was to create a space where everything is made in-house and where customers can slow down and enjoy the craft behind every drink.
The café’s atmosphere was intentionally designed to reflect the experience of drinking matcha itself. Unlike coffee, which is often associated with a quick burst of energy, Motiwala described matcha as offering a calmer, more gradual experience. That philosophy carries through to both the menu and the environment at Matcha & Creme.
Why Ceremonial-Grade Matcha Matters
One of the biggest selling points of Matcha & Creme is its use of ceremonial-grade matcha.
According to CultureMap Dallas, ceremonial-grade matcha is harvested from the youngest and most tender tea leaves and has become a benchmark in the United States for premium-quality matcha. The result is a smoother tea with less bitterness and a more balanced, nutty flavor compared to lower-grade varieties.
As more consumers become interested in premium teas and specialty beverages, cafés that prioritize ingredient quality and craftsmanship continue to stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
My Take
I enjoy seeing locally owned businesses bring new ideas to Dallas instead of simply repeating concepts that already exist. Matcha & Creme isn’t trying to compete by being another traditional coffee shop. Instead, it’s introducing a different experience centered around ceremonial-grade matcha and handcrafted drinks.
Dallas has one of the fastest-growing food and beverage scenes in Texas, and businesses that identify underserved niches often help shape what’s next. Whether you’re already a matcha fan or simply enjoy discovering new places around the city, Matcha & Creme adds another reason to explore the local café scene.
As always, I encourage supporting local businesses that invest in our communities and contribute to making Dallas an even more vibrant place to live, work, and visit.
