Matcha House next for the former ChikaLicious space on 10th Street

Signage for Matcha House has arrived at 203 E. 10th St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (Thanks to Rob Gall for the photo!) 

Per the new brand's website: 

Matcha House is built on the idea that excellence should be the standard. Every detail — from the moment our tea plants sprout from their seeds, to our tearista's craft of your drink — is thoughtfully studied and curated to produce the highest quality and taste. 

We hope you leave our House feeling energized and connected, yet calm and grounded. 

You can follow their Instagram account for opening updates. 

Chika and Don Tillman closed their dessert bar here, ChikaLicious, last summer after 21 years in business. They now operate by appointment only on Astor Place.
