Extremely popular King’s Cross matcha bar Frothee is opening up a second London location. 

Run by the father/daughter team of Hanife and Ram Hursit, Frothee’s new cafe will be launching this spring at 29 Bedfordbury in Covent Garden. It’ll serve the same matcha menu as in the original location on Caledonian Road, which opened last year.

Expect earl grey, salted vanilla, brown sugar and strawberry hand whisked matchas as well as a coffee offering, and iced options too - with salted vanilla cream cold foam on the top, if that takes your fancy.

Frothee will join Covent Garden’s current brace of matcha bars, which so far includes Jenki on Long Acre and Tokkia on Monmouth Street. 

Matcha is a finely ground Japanese green tea known for its luminous colour and the extreme chokehold that it seems to have over Gen Z. You can read more about the relentless rise of matcha in London here.

Frothee 2.0 will open soon-ish at 29 Bedfordbury, Covent Garden, WC2N 4LA.
