Matcha Cafe Near Me in Marylebone: How Matcha! on Blandford Street

How Matcha! serves no coffee at all. Since 28 June 2021 the pink and green shop at 47 Blandford Street, London W1U 7HQ, has sold only matcha drinks and matcha bakes, starting from 8am, and its £4.75 iced Spanish latte is the order The Infatuation calls its go-to. For anyone searching matcha cafe near me between Baker Street and Marylebone High Street, this is the original single-ingredient cafe in the neighbourhood, now big enough to have opened a second branch in Notting Hill.

Baker Street station, on the Bakerloo, Circle, Hammersmith and City, Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, is about 500 metres away according to the cafe's Thatsup listing. Walk south down Baker Street, turn left onto Blandford Street and the cafe is on the stretch beside the junction with Chiltern Street, as Hot Dinners described it at launch. Bond Street, with its Elizabeth line platforms, is a ten minute walk south through Manchester Square if you are coming from the Oxford Street end.

When it opened, Catering Today reported that the founders wanted an accessible and unique alternative to the average London high street coffee shop. That is still the pitch: one ingredient, used in everything. The matcha comes from farms in Kagoshima, in southern Japan, rather than the better-known Uji, and the menu treats it as a base for lemonades, frappes, boba and wellness drinks as much as for lattes. Every drink can be made vegan with Oatly or Rude Health milk.

Prices below come from the cafe's Deliveroo menu in October 2026. A Matcha Naked, the plain whisked tea with water, costs £3.75 and is the cheapest way to judge the Kagoshima leaf. The Matcha Latte and the Matcha Spanish Latte are both £4.75. If you want something stronger, Extra Matcha adds £2, the same price as a collagen or MCT oil add-on, while oat milk is only 30p extra.

The fun section is where How Matcha! earns its following. The Matcha Lemonade and the How Matcha Frappe are £5.75 each, and the Immune, at £5.75, mixes matcha with cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, matcha honey and bee pollen, a recipe Hot Dinners flagged at opening. Matcha Boba is £6. Our honest verdict: skip the Immune unless you like spice in your tea; with turmeric and black pepper in the mix it is more wellness tonic than matcha showcase, and the plain Spanish latte lets the Kagoshima leaf speak for itself.

The cake counter is all green. The Matcha Mille Crepe Cake, built from thin layers of crepe and matcha cream, costs £7.50, and the Matcha Burnt Basque Cheesecake is £6.50. Smaller bites include a two-pack of Nama Matcha Chocolate at £4, Matcha White Chocolate Cookies at £4 and a single Matcha Macaron at £2.80. Thatsup's description adds eclairs and blondies to the line-up, so the counter changes; if the crepe cake is there, it is the slice worth the money.

Thatsup's listing, updated in June 2026, gives hours of 8am to 7pm Monday to Wednesday, 8am to 8pm Thursday to Saturday and 9am to 7pm on Sunday. Early weekday mornings are the calmest, when the queue is mostly office workers heading to Baker Street. Weekend afternoons are the busiest, and The Infatuation describes the cafe as a real scene, with loyalty cards in every pocket and occasional DJ pop-ups that turn the room into a party.

If the line is out of the door and you want somewhere to sit for longer, the Notting Hill branch at 52 Ledbury Road, W11 2AJ, has three floors and around 30 seats, including an oak-panelled ground floor, a basement Kintsugi Room and a Garden Room opening onto a courtyard. Its manager told The Upcoming that guests often stay four to five hours. It also has two exclusive drinks, the Matcha Noir and the Sunburst, so it is worth the bus ride west.

Thatsup describes the Marylebone shop's look as vivid pink and green, and the colour scheme runs from the counter to the cups. It is a small room, closer to a neighbourhood cafe than a lounge, and its tags note outdoor seating and a dog-friendly policy, so dogs under the pavement tables are part of the furniture on sunny days. Regulars are loyal; The Infatuation mentions customers carrying loyalty cards, and the brand has run collaborations with names such as Miu Miu, Creed and Stanley.

Hot Dinners announced the opening in June 2021 as a coffee and cake shop devoted to the green powder, a bold bet during the pandemic summer. Founder Rashique Siddique built the business from this Marylebone room, and by July 2025 The Upcoming was reporting a three-storey Notting Hill cafe, opening that September with Callum Doherty running operations. The Marylebone shop also holds a five-star food hygiene rating, the top score on the Food Standards Agency scale, shown on its Deliveroo page.

With your drink in hand, walk east to Manchester Square and the Wallace Collection at Hertford House, open daily from 10am to 5pm with free entry to the permanent collection, which Lady Wallace bequeathed to the nation in 1897. Then continue to 83 to 84 Marylebone High Street for Daunt Books, open 9am to 7:30pm Monday to Saturday and 11am to 6pm on Sunday, where the long oak gallery of travel books is the classic Marylebone browse.

How Matcha! is at 47 Blandford Street, London W1U 7HQ. Some older directories give 55 Blandford Street, but the official contact page uses number 47. All drinks can be made vegan, and there is a vegan matcha soft serve according to HappyCow. For home brewing, the cafe sells a 30g tin of super ceremonial grade matcha for £24.99 and a bamboo chasen whisk for £18.50 on its Deliveroo shop.

This cafe is ideal for people who have quit coffee and want a full menu built around matcha, for dog owners looking for a pavement table in Marylebone, and for anyone who likes their tea with a side of scene. It is less suited to tea purists who want a hushed, traditional room, since the playlist and the pink walls set the tone. Come early on a weekday, order the iced Spanish latte and a slice of mille crepe, and take it to Manchester Square.
