  “Tasted the best matcha in London at How Matcha! Can’t recommend this place enough. The notting hill exclusive matcha noir is my fav!!!”

  “This used to be one of our favourite matcha spots in London, and we'd actually visited today with the intention of buying a tin of their powder, but after the poor quality of the drinks we ordered today we won't be going back. Normally the drinks have a strong matcha taste and the flavours are well balanced, even when the ingredient combinations are more unusual. We ordered a Spanish matcha latte and an iced chocolate matcha. Firstly both drinks we were given were iced (even though the Spanish matcha latte wasn't ordered as iced), but we thought it's fairly hot today so that didn't bother us enough. The actual issue was that the taste of the matcha in both drinks was extremely weak. The Spanish matcha was such a pale green it looked like a matcha from a chain coffee shop rather than the dark green we normally receive here and you could barely taste it in the drink (I mean seriously look how pale it is in the photo, and that's darker than it looked in real life too!). The chocolate matcha had zero taste of matcha whatsoever, I'm genuinely wondering whether they forgot to add it, or added much less than normal. We've had both drinks before and really enjoyed them because they had a strong matcha flavour alongside the chocolate/condensed milk. Overall, we were so disappointed in the drinks that we decided not to buy the powder. We travel specifically to How Matcha from elsewhere in London and have really been put off coming back if we risk getting drinks like we got today again (especially for the price point). We've loved the unique flavours and colabs in the past, so this really disappointed us, have you changed how much matcha you use?”

  “We stumbled across this place completely by luck just as they were closing, after spending over an hour searching for a local matcha spot with no queue and it ended up being one of the friendliest interactions we’ve had in London in a very …”

  “Okay, I am a Melbourne coffee gal, but matcha cafés have exploded all over London, so one must try. I was recommended the Chocolate Matcha 🍵. My mind was initially saying, “No, no, no,” but after being convinced that it is a beautiful 65% dark chocolate cocoa with a half pump of French vanilla (I went less sweet), oat milk, and ceremonial-grade matcha, I decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, my taste buds said, “Yeah, yeah, yeah!” This was the perfect 3 PM pick-me-up without the caffeine rush that would mean I might not sleep that well later tonight. The flavour is deep, earthy, and not overly sweet. It was warming on a cold London afternoon as I looked for a break from the chilly wind. Maybe I am a Melbourne matcha gal (when in London anyway) 🍵🇬🇧”

  “Honestly such a delightful cafe all around, the service, the DRINKS!! and even the decor. We had a lovely experience with the owner and his friend Aiysha, he even offered us some amazing blueberries. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their drinks as the Spanish Blossom Matcha i tried was delicious 💚💚”

  “I drink more than 10 matchas a week (usually made at home) and anywhere I go, I have to make sure I pay for extra matcha, let the barista know how much honey to put in etc. I came today around 16:30 and simply asked for an iced matcha with whole milk and some honey, the drink was made spot on: super green, not too much honey - service was super normal (I have to mention this, as service has gone downhill since I don’t know when, and because there are so many weirdos in hospitality-I’ve worked in hospitality since I was 18). You really don’t have to do much to make a customer happy, but this place got it right when I was there-I was inside for like 2 minutes. Hopefully it’s not just luck, as I will be back again! Price also wasn’t too bad!”

  “I come here often and love everything about How Matcha - the quality, the people, the ambiance. In a world where matcha is a fad and many places just squirt sugary green syrup into a cup with no ritual or tradition in sight, I appreciate the way How Matcha approaches the process. Also had the pleasure of meeting the owner Rashique and he was so kind answering many questions I had about his business/brand. If you genuinely love matcha, this spot is a must-try. Now I just need to visit the Notting Hill location which sounds amazing!”

  “Match latte was very watery and didn’t have any strong matcha taste but it’s not as bad as the service. The male barista was nice smily and very welcome but the girl at the cashier didn’t have that welcoming vibe and making the atmosphere unpleasant.”

  “Last visited in 2021, and visited again in March 2026 😮 the place has gotten a lovely glow up from what I remembered. Extensive drinks menu and nice selection of treats which unfortunately I can’t have at all due to GDD. Anyways I ordered 2 drinks to the tune of £13.50. They were nice.”
