HOMU

About HOMU

HOMU (ほむ) is a specialty matcha cafe on Soi Sathorn 2 in the Sala Daeng area, a short walk from MRT Lumphini and BTS Sala Daeng. It sits in a single shophouse unit down a small alley, with two floors of warm wood, paper lanterns, earthy tones and leafy touches. Reviewers compare the feel to a small Kyoto teahouse, bright and homey with big windows facing greenery.

The menu centres on ceremonial-grade matcha: clear matcha, matcha lattes made with single-cultivar teas such as Okumidori and Nishio, hojicha and floral teas. Desserts are traditional Japanese sweets like freshly made warabi mochi, daifuku and dango, plus seasonal specials. Most items sit around 120 to 190 baht. On some evenings it turns into a matcha and Japanese bar with umeshu and yuzushu and a happy hour.

It is a calm, cosy spot for a quiet daytime date over tea and sweets, and its compact Sathorn location makes it easy to pair with a walk in Lumphini Park. Go on a weekday afternoon for a quieter table, or come on a bar night for a low-key evening drink. Seasonal menus, such as a Valentine's sakura set, give a reason to return.
