Order the Matcha Cheesecake first. The soft warabi mochi alongside the cream cheese topping is what separates this from the dozen other matcha cafes that opened in Bangkok in 2025.

The matcha here is ceremonial grade, the kind Japanese tea practitioners whisk for formal service, and Billy Chachavat sources it specifically for intensity and aroma rather than the milder blends most Bangkok cafes default to. He competed on MasterChef Thailand Season 4 before opening MATCHAKA, and the precision shows in how the menu balances traditional matcha applications with contemporary Bangkok café expectations.

The Matcha Cheesecake sits at 135 baht and arrives with a layer of cream cheese over concentrated matcha, served with warabi mochi on the side. The mochi is soft and lightly sweet. The Matcha Caramel Miso, also 135 baht, pairs caramel pudding with a caramel-miso sauce that runs salty-sweet against the matcha base. The Matcha Strawberry Latte, 125 baht, uses fresh strawberry pieces rather than syrup, so the fruit acidity cuts through the tea in a way that feels less like a dessert drink and more like an actual pairing.

The shop sits on Phahonyothin Soi 7 in the Ari neighborhood, a five-minute walk from BTS Ari station. Weekday hours run 7am to 6pm; weekends start later at 9am. If you work nearby and want matcha before most of Bangkok is awake, the early weekday window is the advantage.

This is matcha for people who want ceremonial-grade leaf without sitting through a tea ceremony. The drinks and desserts deliver the concentrated, slightly bitter, deeply vegetal flavor profile that defines high-grade matcha, presented in forms that work for a quick Ari café stop rather than a formal tea house visit.
