London has become a haven for matcha enthusiasts, and if you’re a fan of this antioxidant-rich, earthy green tea, you’re in for a treat. From traditional Japanese-style matcha to modern takes like matcha lattes, cakes, and ice cream, the city is brimming with cafés and shops that take this vivid green powder seriously.
The word Katsute represents nostalgia, history, moments in time… ‘Once’. I love their cafes (especially the one in Islington). They are experts on matcha, from cakes to tea. My personal favourite is their matcha crepe cake – the balance of flavours is unrivaled.
With over 150 years of history, Tsujiri is a Kyoto-based brand that brings authentic matcha to London. The menu is matcha heaven—from hot drinks to elaborate desserts. I would recommend the the matcha soft serve – delicious!
Tombo blends healthy Japanese eats with a modern café vibe. They’ve been a pioneer in London’s matcha scene and offer a great range of matcha drinks and desserts alongside poke bowls and sushi. Their Tombo Tea comes from the foothills of Mount Fuji!
So this is a place known for its coffee and minimalist designs. However, I would also recommend their Matcha latte!
An all-day restaurant and bar serving simple home style cooking alongside unique drinks and desserts. I am including them because they do a matcha and white chocolate fondant cake!
Midnight Pantry was founded in a family kitchen in Hong Kong and crafted in Paris. These are cookies packed with authentic taste of Asia that everyone can enjoy. I am including them for their matcha cookie with white chocolate chips!
