Even if you’ve never been to Japan, Matcha Time Cafe will make you feel as though you’ve hopped a plane without ever leaving Ellicott City. This quaint, casual cafe is decorated with light wood paneling, simple ceramic serving plates, and colorful Japanese artwork that pops out against the white walls. The atmosphere is soothing and serene, and the flavorful sushi rolls make for a laid-back lunch at an affordable price.
Matcha Time Cafe is known more for its drinks than for its food, however, and the teas are especially popular here. The friendly owners dole out samples of spiced apple cider to curious customers, and you can also take a taste of any of the specialty teas before ordering. Hot beverages are served in traditional ceramic teapots with simple handle-free mugs, and each one gives off a wonderful aroma that’s almost as good as its taste.
