A Hidden Hole in the Wall Called Coffee ONDA

We parked up in Newmarket with no plan, just a wander. No checklist. No destination. Just walking and seeing what caught our eye. That is when we spotted this tiny hole in the wall called Coffee ONDA.

Pastel colours. Super cute. Seats literally placed in a driveway. Blink, and you might miss it. The kind of place you would walk straight past if you were not paying attention.

Strawberry Matcha Was the Only Order

My wife loves matcha. Especially strawberry matcha. So there was no debate here. One drink. Strawberry matcha. Eight dollars. One cup. I was only there for a sip.

First taste and everything changed.

Smooth. Creamy. Strawberry sweet without tasting fake or syrupy. Then the matcha hit. Soft. Gentle. No bitterness at all.

And listen. I am not a matcha person. I have tried plenty for my wife, and most of the time, I am pulling a face. This one, though? Hands down the best strawberry matcha I have ever had.

The kind I can actually drink happily.

Why Coffee ONDA Is Worth Finding

Coffee ONDA is not flashy. It is small. It is easy to miss. It feels almost accidental. But that is precisely what makes it special.

If you are in Newmarket, park up and go for a walk. Keep your eyes open. It might take a minute to spot, but once you do, it is absolutely worth it.

Now I want to know.
Where is the best strawberry matcha you have ever had anywhere in the world?

I really like this place -- their matcha is legit. The location is cute & convenient too! (^_^*)
Every other matcha place i've been to in AKL (almost every one lol) is nowhere near as good. I usually just make my own matcha/strawberry matcha at home but whenever I'm out i'll always stop by & order a strawberry matcha latte (^_-) they just do it the best!!! Super recommend their cabinet food as it is always great as well~

a great spot for good quality strong matcha with unique flavour twists - the strawberry puree is quite sweet but is well-balanced with the matcha taste, and the salted maple makes for a really creamy subtle earthiness. the workers were so lovely too! 🙂

Best matcha latte I’ve ever had! Okay admittedly I haven’t had that many, but I’ve certainly had a few bad ones and this is anything but. Strawberry is my top pick but mango was also good. Baked goods made on the premises look great too. One of these days I’ll have to try the matcha white chocolate cookie. Plus, the lovely friendly staff always brighten my day 😻

Ever since discovering this place I have to drop by whenever I’m in Newmarket!

Easily some of the best matcha/hojicha in town. Flavours were spot on, it was well blended too. Texture was smooth and quality of matcha/hojicha was high

We ordered:
- strawberry matcha
- hojicha iced latte

Really good matcha!! They changed their menu recently and it's still amazing. I ordered the French Earl Grey Matcha latte

FAQ:

The strawberry matcha is the standout. It is smooth, creamy, lightly sweet and has zero bitterness from the matcha. Even if you are not a matcha person, this one is worth trying.

The strawberry matcha costs eight dollars per cup.

Seating is very limited and outdoors, set up casually in the driveway. It is more of a grab and enjoy spot rather than somewhere to sit for a long time.

Yes. If you enjoy unique drinks and hidden cafes, it is absolutely worth the short walk and the effort to find it, especially for matcha lovers.
