MTCH - Sukhumvit23
116, 21 Soi Sukhumvit 23, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
The Slow Bar is the move if you want to understand what matcha can taste like when it's not fighting sugar. Order the MTCH Float for the contrast: cold homemade Hokkaido ice cream against concentrated matcha. The second floor is quieter if you need to settle in.
You walk into cream-colored walls and a green matcha-themed staircase that sets the visual rhythm before you reach the counter. The first floor runs tight around an Ice Cream Bar and a Slow Bar dedicated to premium Japanese green tea, where the Arashi variety sits front and center. The second floor opens into a more relaxed seating zone with aluminum accents and light wood framing the space.
The menu anchors on three signatures: the MTCH Milkshake at 220 baht, the MTCH Float at 160 baht, and the MTCH Double Panna Cotta at 160 baht. The Float pairs homemade Hokkaido milk ice cream with a matcha base strong enough to hold its ground against the cream. The panna cotta uses a custom matcha blend, and you'll see soba granules offered as a topping across several items. This is the fourth branch for MTCH, following openings in Ari and Ratchapruek, so the formula is settled and the execution is confident.
Parking runs underneath the Young Place building next door. Bring your parking ticket to the counter and they'll stamp it for validation, which keeps the visit frictionless if you're driving in from outside the neighborhood. The cafe operates daily from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, so this is a daytime and early-evening room, not a late-night matcha stop.
The Slow Bar separates casual matcha drinkers from the committed. It's where the premium Japanese green tea gets brewed with proper attention to temperature and timing, and the Arashi varietal shows what a single-origin matcha tastes like when it's not buried under sweeteners or milk. If you're here for the first time, the Float is the safest entry point: familiar structure, clean contrast, and enough matcha intensity to make the case without overwhelming. The ice cream is made in-house, which means the texture stays consistent and the sweetness stays calibrated to the matcha it's meant to offset.
