Ksana Matcha - One City Centre — Restaurant in Lumphini Subdistrict

As a matcha fan, I found out about this place and decided that I have to pay a visit. Initially kinda lost my way walked to the basement and couldn't find a way to get up. No lifts found probably I didn't try hard enough so had to walk up the stairs. It's a small cafe located at a new building and not difficult to find because it's right next to the entrance of the building. Quite an aesthetic looking cafe which makes you feel like you are chilling in a cave or something. I didn't know what to order so there was this very helpful female staff af the cashier who spoke pretty good English explaining to me the drinks and pastries and recommending me which I should try. Was totally sold by her talk and just ordered which she recommended. A little strange for a cafe like that they don't offer free wifi which should be a common service in cafes nowadays. Took some time for the baristas to carefully measure the weight of the matcha powder then follow detailed steps to come up with the matcha latte. Also ordered the Kingyokukan and the Nerikiri pastries. The drink was not too bad I felt that the green tea was just optimal and not overpowering and a good measure of milk. For the desserts, I would say probably they look more pretty than being delicious. Average but nothing to rave about, the Kingyokukan tasted like red bean with jelly and the Nerikiri was a typical mochi with red bean and slightly too sweet for my liking. The meal cost me 480 baht which I thought was on the quite expensive side. Was a not bad experience but I think there are many cheaper and better matcha...

Great matcha cafe with minimalist concept!

We clearly visited here at first because of the nice interior, haha! But it is true very unique and nice, with white and slender shape, and simple greeneries touch, it is very aestehtic and good for pictures. It is also accompanied with a very good matcha!

Their menu is simple, which is matcha and its variant. We order the most order one matcha and one hojica latte. Both taste very good. The matcha is soft but not lost its flavour. The hojicha goes the same way. And the way they incorporate the milk is just nice.

Service is great. We ourselves like matcha but not the expert, and they explain it clearly and nicely to us, plus they have better English accent than most Thai server. We can see the process of them making the matcha if you are interested. They served it in a plastic cup accompanied with explanation about the tea.

Overall, it is a very nice and lovely...

Stepping into Ksana Matcha feels like entering Middle Earth — if the Elves served ceremonial tea. White, cave-like walls cradle you in calm, offering a sanctuary from the noise outside. The stillness doesn’t whisper; it hums.

I ordered the Silenced Highland Usucha blend — ceremonial matcha with soft notes of almonds, chestnuts, and fresh bread from Shizuoka. Every sip lands like rain on temple roofs.

Paired it with the Yolanda Uji Matcha Cake, delicately layered with red bean paste, and served alongside Nerikeri — an Edo-era wagashi kneaded with white bean, rice mochi, and centuries of reverence.

The staff? Impeccable. More than polite — they guide you through the ritual like trusted stewards of tradition.

Ksana isn’t just a café. It’s a concept, a pause, a ceremony. Come for the matcha. Stay for the stillness.
