@lifeofgaby on TikTok has a new obsession: Alma Matcha. And if there’s one thing we know after watching her video, it’s that not just any matcha could make her drive nearly an hour. But this hidden spot in Fort Lauderdale convinced her to break her own rule
From the moment she arrives, it’s clear Alma isn’t your average coffee shop. The space is so big they even host yoga events there. They sell merch, cute hats, aesthetic signs, and… their prices are a bit steep. “Ten dollars for a matcha? Fort Lauderdale, be pricey,” Gaby says with a resigned tone. But she doesn’t leave. She orders the vanilla matcha latte and does her signature ritual: “Everybody knows the rules. One sip.”
Spoiler: It wasn’t just one. It was a sip that left her speechless.
The Best Matcha in All of Florida?
“The color is amazing, it doesn’t taste grassy, and it’s sweet—just how I like it,” she says. Just seconds later, she gives her verdict: “I think it’s the best matcha I’ve had in all of Florida. It’s a 10 out of 10.” No hesitation.
For someone like Gaby, who doesn’t hand out perfect scores easily, that says a lot. Even Danny, her companion—who “isn’t really into matcha”—gave it a 9.8. “The proof is in the pudding,” she jokes, showing her almost-empty cup just five minutes after buying it.
The good news? She’s already eyeing her next order: toasted marshmallow matcha. Yep, Alma Matcha offers special flavors that sound like desserts disguised as green drinks.

Alma Matcha: The New Hotspot for Matcha Lovers?
With event space, Pinterest-worthy décor, handwritten calligraphy on the cups, and drinks that are as aesthetic as they are delicious, Alma Matcha seems to know exactly what this generation wants: a beautiful experience that tastes just as good.
And yes, it costs about as much as a full breakfast—but as Gaby puts it: “It was worth every cent.”
Conclusion? If you’re a matcha lover or just looking for an excuse to get out of Miami for a few hours, this spot might be your next must-visit.
