Matcha Cafe Hopping BKK: A Day in Sukhumvit’s Green Tea Heaven 🍵
Weekend is here! If you’re tired of walking around malls, why not try some Cafe Hopping? Today, the MatchaFans team is taking you to raid Thong Lo - Ekkamai, the chicest cafe district in Bangkok. But we are focusing strictly on “Specialty Matcha” shops. Only the real deal here — no sugary, flavored syrup drinks allowed!
Empty your stomach and let’s go.
🛑 Stop 1: Peace Oriental Teahouse (Thong Lo / Ekkamai)
Let’s start with the “Grandmaster” of the scene. The decor is minimalist Zen, so quiet and peaceful it feels like you should be meditating (while sipping tea).
- Vibe: Quiet, Peaceful, Premium (Shoes off policy).
- Must Try:
- Pastel Matcha (Cold): Cold milk matcha that has been “Aged” in the fridge until the texture is thick like melted ice cream. The creaminess is god-tier!
- Koicha Cream: The most intense matcha ice cream of my life. One bite and you’re wide awake.
- Price: 200 - 450 THB
🛑 Stop 2: Tealily Cafe (Ekkamai 12)
Moving to Ekkamai Soi 12, this spot has a warm, Japanese wooden house atmosphere. It feels like visiting a friend’s home. But this friend is a tea master.
- Vibe: Homie, Warm, Friendly, Cute cat included.
- Must Try:
- Matcha Banoffee: Their famous dessert. The bitterness of the tea cuts through the banana and caramel perfectly.
- Matcha Uji Latte: Order it “No Sugar” to taste the authentic nuttiness of the tea.
- Price: 150 - 300 THB
🛑 Stop 3: MTCH (Sukhumvit 23 / Ari - nearby branches)
Finishing off with a super cool matcha bar in Modern Contemporary style. They serve “Single Origin” or “Single Cultivar” matcha here, similar to drip coffee culture.
- Vibe: Cool, White & Clean, Great lighting (IG friendly).
- Must Try:
- Watermelon Matcha: Signature menu mixing fresh watermelon juice with matcha. Screams refreshing! Perfect for Bangkok heat.
- MTCH Cold Whisk Latte: Iced latte with no ice (Cold Whisk), so the flavor never gets diluted.
- Price: 150 - 250 THB
Trip Summary
Prepare a budget of around 500 - 1,000 THB and you can conquer these 3 spots in one day. (I recommend eating a meal beforehand, because 3 cups of matcha caffeine might give you the shakes hahaha).
