London’s leading matcha brand JENKI has opened its ninth London matcha bar in Paternoster Square, behind St Paul’s Cathedral.
Located in one of the City’s most historic squares, the new bar will offer commuters and office workers a convenient stop for their daily matcha.
Designed with the pace of City life in mind, the new St Paul’s location introduces a more focused bar format, with an emphasis on matcha on the go. Catering to commuters and office workers looking for their daily matcha, whether on the way to work or between meetings, the bar also features an indoor perching ledge and outdoor seating overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral.
Designed by Studio Rain Wu, the bar takes inspiration from the Baroque architecture of St Paul’s Cathedral. An illuminated domed ceiling, dark wood detailing and electric blue backlit acrylic reference the Cathedral’s vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows, while stainless steel and poured concrete floors give the space a contemporary finish.
The opening follows JENKI’s recent launches in Soho and Liverpool Street, as matcha continues to grow in popularity across London. With a further opening planned for Marylebone, the brand is continuing to expand across the capital, reflecting the growing appetite for matcha as part of Londoners’ daily routines.
Otto Boyer, Co-Founder of JENKI, says: “Paternoster Square is a brilliant location for JENKI, right in the heart of the City. We wanted to create a bar that fits naturally into people’s working days, making it easy to enjoy freshly whisked matcha even when time is limited. With St Paul’s Cathedral right on our doorstep, it’s a really special setting for our ninth London bar.”
