Cafe Mata
1540 S 2nd St, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“This all-vegan specialty café in Wilmington brings together artisan coffee culture and creative matcha drinks in a beautifully designed space that feels like a sanctuary. Beyond the stellar lattes and signature ube matcha, what keeps people coming back is the thoughtful atmosphere—a modern, architecturally striking spot that pairs perfectly with the neighboring yoga studio and pottery space, making it as much about ritual and community as it is about exceptional drinks. The staff clearly remembers regulars and takes pride in crafting each order, whether you're there for a cookies and cream latte or an exploratory specialty drink you've never tried before.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Plenty of matcha choices for matcha lovers. Ordered an ube matcha and it was the best matcha I've had in a while. Very neat and beautiful inside with tables and they also have an outside patio. They offer free wifi and it's a great place to study while sipping on your drink!
