If you have ever come up to see us at Naive Flora Tattoo, you have already walked past a little green secret on the ground floor. Meet Portcha, the matcha cafe right below our studio. And yes, it is matcha only, no coffee here. 🍵
Matcha, and only matcha
Portcha was created by Portjolio, the design studio that shares our building, as a space made just for matcha lovers. The idea is refreshingly simple: do one thing, and do it well. The cafe is small and bright, all white and blue, with a cheeky cat logo and playful 3D-printed details dotted around.
What to order
The menu runs to more than 26 matcha drinks across three grades, Regular, Premium and Ceremonial, sourced from the Rich Hour Matcha Library. A few we love:
- Clear Matcha, for the pure, grassy flavour front and centre.
- Matcha Latte, smooth, creamy and easy to love.
- Matcha Strawberry Latte, layered green, white and red in one glass. It looks as good as it tastes.
- Ceremonial Uji and Yame, softer and floral, with a deep umami finish.
There are pastries too, including a lovely matcha and yuzu cheesecake.
The best part: matcha while you get tattooed
Here is where it gets fun for our clients. Naive Flora Tattoo sits right upstairs on the 2nd floor, so you can:
- Come down for a matcha and chat about your flower design in a relaxed setting before you commit, or
- Order a drink and have it brought up while you are in the chair. A cold matcha latte makes a longer session so much nicer.
A little creative building
The whole building is a bit of a creative family: Portcha cafe on the ground floor, Naive Flora Tattoo on the 2nd, and the Portjolio design studio on the 3rd. There is even a resident cat who supervises everything. 🐱
Come say hi
You will find us in the Portcha Cafe building, ground floor for matcha, 2nd floor for tattoos, a short walk from BTS Sena Nikhom (N12) in Chatuchak, Bangkok. Come for the matcha, stay for the flowers.
