Viral Matcha Spots In London

Viral Matcha Spots In London

Jenki

If your TikTok feed has been aggressively serving you strawberry matcha lately, there’s a good chance it came from Jenki. Their drinks are smooth, colourful and almost impossible not to photograph, but the matcha itself is genuinely good too.

The strawberry matcha is the obvious order, but the iced vanilla matcha is one of the best low-key options on the menu.

How Matcha

How Matcha keeps things simple in the best way. Minimal interiors, ceremonial-grade matcha and drinks that feel balanced rather than overloaded with syrups.

If you prefer cleaner flavours and less sweetness, this is probably the café you’ll come back to more than once.

Sontag

Sontag is the kind of place that looks better in person than on TikTok, which says a lot. Get the iced matcha, grab a window seat, and expect to stay longer than planned.

The Covent Garden location, natural light and understated interiors make it one of the city’s coolest cafés without trying too hard.

Matchado

Matchado leans fully into the viral side of matcha culture, layered drinks, bright colours and seasonal specials that constantly end up online.

Expect queues on weekends, especially if a new special has just dropped.

Blank Street

Love it or hate it, Blank Street helped launch London’s pistachio matcha obsession. Their iced matchas are everywhere during summer, and the bright green cups are pretty hard to miss across central London

It’s an easy grab-and-go option if you want something quick between shopping, galleries or café hopping.

Katsute100

Katsute100 feels less like a viral café and more like a quiet break from central London chaos. Think Kyoto-inspired interiors, traditional tea service and beautifully presented matcha drinks.

If you want a calmer café stop after a busy day in Soho or Covent Garden, this is one of the best places to slow things down.

Best Matcha Combos To Try

• Strawberry Matcha — sweet, creamy and still London’s most viral matcha order right now.
