What people go for here
Urban Matcha is a spacious Convoy café for Uji matcha in both tea-forward and dessert-like forms. Banana-pudding matcha, matcha soft serve, the hojicha latte float, and fruit sparklers give the menu range, while ample seating, Wi-Fi, and 10:00 PM closing make the room useful well beyond a quick pickup. Choose a lower sweetness level when you want the tea to lead, and allow extra time for plaza parking during busy periods.

- Matcha soft serve
- Hojicha latte float
- Matcha yuzu sparkler
Worth knowing: The Convoy plaza lot becomes competitive at active dining times, so drivers may need extra time to find a space. Banana, yuzu, and other dessert-style additions sometimes dominate the matcha, making reduced sweetness or a simpler preparation a better fit for tea-forward tastes. The spacious café works well for social visits and study, but its popularity and hard-surfaced room can raise the volume during busy periods.
