This New Joo Chiat Cafe Serves Matcha With DIY Floral Bouquets

But a cafe that sends you off with a petite floral bouquet alongside your drink? You’ll only find this at Studio Frond, a fresh new botanical matcha bar in Joo Chiat.

Here, your matcha is served in a tray that also holds your floral arrangement—you get to craft it all by yourself! The standard floral arrangement kit starts from $15, and comes with a floral base, a focal, and an accent flower. The floral selection rotates weekly, and you can expect the likes of Spider Chrysanthemums and Rose Lilies.

Additional flowers for your arrangement are priced at $3 each. Being a speciality matcha bar, the drinks served here are no slouches as well. Choose from three different variants of tea: Frond Matcha #01 from Zhejiang, China, Frond Matcha #02 from Uji, Japan, and Frond Hojicha #03 from Fukuoka, Japan.

Then, choose how your tea will be done, starting with the classic Usucha (from $6.50) that allows the tea to breathe in just water, and the Latte (from $7)—the quintessential drink for performative males. Notably, their speciality creations are rather interesting. The White Corn (from $9.50) comes with cold-pressed white corn juice and milk for a light and refreshing drink, while the Miso Butterscotch (from $8) uses their housemade miso sauce for a deep and savoury experience.

Other speciality drinks include the Pink Coconut (from $8) and the Black Sesame Cloud (from $8). If you’re not a fan of matcha, Studio Frond has got you covered with their seasonal Iced Pour-Over Coffee ($7) and seasonal Cold Brew Tea ($6). Studio Frond is located on Joo Chiat Road, and is a 16-minute walk from Marine Parade MRT Station or a 12-minute bus ride from Dakota MRT Station.

Do note that they are only open on weekends! For more eats in the area, check out our Katong and Joo Chiat food guide.
