Would you believe that BKK has their very own “Antelope Canyon”? This aesthetic speciality matcha café looks almost like an all-white version of Arizona’s Antelope Canyon, with walls that are carved to look like the natural contours and ridges of an actual cave!

Ksana’s flagship store is located at the newly renovated One City Centre, near Phloen Chit and Chit Lom BTS Station. There’s limited wall seating in the café, and depending on where you sit, you can even enjoy a “private” little nook to yourself—very peaceful indeed.

Aside from their aesthetic and cavernous interior that’s perfect for OOTDs, Ksana focuses on artisanal matcha brews featuring only a select 3 types of tea: Coastal Breeze, Bitter Rainforest and Smokey Peaks, all of which are either Ceremonial or Premium Grade matcha direct from Uji, Kyoto.

Matcha drinks start from 140 baht (~$5.40 SGD) with options like Latte, Usucha or Koicha, and you can even make it iced with special matcha ice cubes so as to not dilute the drink. To pair with the matcha, they also offer a selection of Japanese wagashi (sweets).

The wagashi at Ksana are also pretty for the ‘gram and are mostly made of jelly or mochi, with prices of each dessert starting from 140 baht (~$5.40 SGD). The desserts are meticulously crafted, with one that even looks like an aquarium filled with fish!
