Cape Town’s First Ceremony Matcha Bar Opens on Sea Point Promenade

A new chapter for mindful sipping, flavour and community

Ceremony Matcha Bar opens in Cape Town

Cape Town’s wellness scene just got a new ritual. Ceremony Matcha Bar has officially opened its doors on the Sea Point Promenade, bringing with it a serene blend of Japanese tradition, mindful living and ocean-front calm.

Founded by Mikayla McClean, Ceremony Matcha has quickly become a name synonymous with modern wellness and elevated daily ritual since its launch in 2022. This new matcha bar marks the brand’s next evolution — a physical space where locals and visitors can experience the art of matcha in its purest, most intentional form. Here, matcha is more than just a trend; it is a lifestyle.

Where Ritual Meets the Coast

Steps away from the Atlantic Ocean, the new space captures the slow, grounding energy of the coastline. Inside, travertine textures, natural woods and soft coastal hues set the tone for a tranquil escape. Every detail has been designed to reflect Ceremony’s philosophy: minimal, sensory and deeply intentional. It brings their wellness-first ethos to life.

A Menu Crafted with Purpose

The menu, developed in collaboration with Michelin-trained chef Kira Jacobs, blends Japanese tradition with South African flair. Expect layered matcha lattes, roasted hōjicha with chai spices, honey-kissed cold brews, and savoury bakes elevated with Japanese shichimi togarashi. Each creation celebrates the depth and versatility of Ceremonial Grade Matcha, sustainably sourced from Kagoshima, Japan.

A Space for Connection

Beyond its beautiful brews, the Ceremony Matcha Bar is designed as a gathering point for community — a space for yoga flows, sound journeys, slow mornings and meaningful connection. “Ceremony has always been about more than matcha,” says McClean. “It’s about creating moments of presence and connection. The bar is an extension of that – a place to pause, sip and savour.”

With the ocean as its backdrop and intention in every cup, the Ceremony Matcha Bar invites Cape Town to pause, sip and savour the simple ritual of being present.
