About Chinatown Country Club - Coffee House

Tucked behind the clothing racks on Clarence Street, this counter pairs boutique fashion with deliberate caffeine. Regulars compare the house matcha to bowls sipped in Uji—creamy, balanced, and rounded out by an earthy umami finish. Skip the routine flat white for chilled signatures like the Moon River or Nitro Iced Matcha. If the pastry case has them, grab the prosciutto and apricot danish or the savory provolone and sundried tomato croissant. Keep in mind the house specifics before pulling up a stool: no soy milk behind the bar, and a weekend surcharge applies.

  • Boutique Fashion Integration: Set within a Clarence Street apparel shop with dual entrances, pairing retail browsing with a tranquil respite off Market Row.
  • Uji Matcha & House Signatures: Crafted tea and cold programs spotlight Uji-level matcha alongside inventive pours like the Moon River and Clear Jasmine.
  • Artisan Pastry Counter: Counter goods pair savory provolone and sundried tomato croissants with flaky prosciutto and apricot danishes.

  • Uji-Grade Matcha Excellence

    Crafted to rival Uji standards, the tea program delivers velvety, perfectly balanced umami and micro-textured foam that surpasses conventional cafe offerings.

    Matcha was a 100/10! Nice and creamy, not overly foamy, and the sweetness to matcha ratio was perfect.
