The menu is a poetic journey through Japanese tea culture, with an emphasis on matcha, genmaicha, hojicha, and other artisanal brews sourced from Japan’s finest tea-growing regions. Complementing the drinks are delicately crafted desserts—think warabi mochi dusted in kinako, matcha Swiss rolls, and impossibly light mille crêpes that melt on the tongue.

But Hvala is more than a café. It is a cultural bridge—where artistry, mindfulness, and craftsmanship converge. Each element, from the handcrafted ceramics to the ceremonial preparation of tea, is intentional. It’s a space where Singapore’s cosmopolitan energy meets the quiet wisdom of Japanese tradition.

Whether you’re seeking a solo moment of peace, a thoughtful space to work, or a refined place to catch up with a friend, Hvala – Takashimaya offers an experience that nourishes both palate and spirit. It’s not just a tea stop; it’s a pause button for the soul.
