This is the best iced matcha latte in the city.
The hours can be a challenge (12pm to 5pm Wednesday through Sunday; Saturday there's a little more flexibility as they open at 10am), but it's worth it. Sugarcane is tucked on a side street off Great Pulteney and feels like it's hidden in plain sight. I can't believe the amount of times I've either walked by, or seen their sign from the corner of my eye, and didn't go over and investigate. GO INVESTIGATE. It's worth it.
They describe themselves as a "haven for anyone craving something special -- a perfect blend of cultural fusion, creativity, and delicious patisserie." It's a very cute, very small shop run by very lovely people.
And that iced strawberry matcha latte with oat? Ohhh, it's so, so good. Creamy, earthy, slightly sweet, a little luxurious even... it's refreshing, it's satisfying, it's the kind of drink you finish and immediately want a second of. I'm so sorry it took me so long to discover Sugarcane, because I would have been here every day. read more
