About this space

A bright, design-led café and event space in the heart of Old Street, set within The Brew co-working building at 163 City Road (EC1V 1NR). Large windows with natural light, warm-toned walls and lush greenery give the room a relaxed yet polished feel — equally suited to a focused daytime meeting or a lively evening reception.

The space is genuinely flexible. With movable furniture and an open layout, it can be configured for seated talks, networking receptions, workshops, screenings and private dinners, seating up to 50 guests theatre-style. Large screens and AV are on hand for product launches, panel events, sports viewings and podcast recordings.

Hospitality is part of what we do. Alongside our signature matcha, hojicha and speciality coffee, we offer a fully licensed bar for drinks receptions and a complete in-house catering service — from canapés and sharing platters to bespoke menus built around your occasion.

Part of the Matcha Mochi family — a London café brand built on East Asian ingredients and genuine craft — the Old Street venue is a distinctive, welcoming backdrop for corporate events, brand activations and private celebrations.
Capacity, availability and catering packages available on request.

I had my 23rd Party here at Matcha Mochi Cafe, and we all had such a lovely time! The staff were all so kind and attentive; they provided some cool LED lights, a speaker for music and the drinks I had requested. I would highly recommend Matcha Mochi for a party venue.
