Born from a passion for authentic Japanese matcha and elevated café culture, Matcha 16 seamlessly blends timeless ritual with modern lifestyle. Its upcoming opening at Mileo The Palm, ideally located along Palm Jumeirah’s iconic West Beach, marks the brand’s Dubai debut, introducing a serene yet stylish space where wellness, indulgence, and community come together. Designed with a Japanese-inspired modern zen aesthetic, Matcha 16 combines warm woods, clean lines, and natural textures to create a tranquil setting. Guests will discover an all-day menu with a tribute to matcha featuring innovative beverages, artisanal lattes, and chef-led à la carte creations that highlight premium ingredients. Signature drinks will include traditional ceremonial matcha alongside creative infusions crafted with superfoods and seasonal flavours, while the chef-led menu offers thoughtful dishes that complement the café’s wellness ethos, balancing indulgence with nourishment.

At its core, Matcha 16 champions premium quality, authenticity, and a love for good food. The café is more than a place to sip a latte – it is a lifestyle hub where community, creativity, and mindful living converge. Positioned as both classy and boujee, the brand carries an energy that resonates with Dubai’s modern, health-conscious audience. At its heart, Matcha 16 is about celebrating matcha as more than a drink – it is a lifestyle, a ritual, and a moment of connection shared through food and community. Through sustainable sourcing, transparency, and a commitment to excellence, Matcha 16 seeks to redefine the standard for modern wellness cafés. Located inside Mileo The Palm on Palm Jumeirah, Matcha 16 will offer a calm and stylish space for guests to enjoy its signature matcha creations and chef-led menu. The opening marks the café’s first Dubai location, bringing its modern Japanese-inspired concept to one of the city’s most vibrant destinations. “Creating Matcha 16 in Dubai is a very special milestone for us. What started out of my love for good food and healthy breakfast options, has resulted into a concept that celebrates wellness, flavour, and community. Situated in the vibrant West Beach within Mileo The Palm, we wanted to create more than just a café – we crafted a place where people can slow down, connect, and enjoy mindful moments over good food and matcha prepared with care.” – Founder of Matcha 16. The official opening of Matcha 16 at Mileo The Palm is scheduled for mid-September 2025.
