MTCH
MTCH is a go-to for contemporary matcha in Bangkok. The stylish, minimalist café centres around a sleek stainless-steel counter, where a white chasen (bamboo whisk) is prominently displayed. Founded by two matcha enthusiasts who spent five years immersed in Japanese tea culture and ceremony, the café focuses on premium Japanese matcha and hojicha.
The menu showcases a range of flavour profiles, from light and creamy to deep, umami-rich blends. Alongside classics like matcha lattes and cold-whisked matcha, the café offers sparkling creations infused with fruits such as yuzu, strawberry, watermelon, and honey lemon. More indulgent options include frappes, floats, and milkshakes made with rich Hokkaido milk gelato. The matcha theme continues through the dessert menu, which features matcha gelato, monaka (wafer sandwich) with red bean filling, matcha pudding, panna cotta, and more.
