From the first crackle of a crusty loaf to the quiet comfort of a warm matcha latte — Matcha En is your neighborhood kitchen, open to anyone who walks through the door.
Every item on our shelves starts with a simple idea: good food tastes better when it's made with patience and care.
Sourdough, multigrain, brioche — each loaf is mixed, folded, and baked by hand, starting before dawn so it arrives at your door warm.
Ceremonial-grade matcha lattes, matcha croissants, and a rotating selection of cakes and cookies that keep our regulars coming back.
Buttery croissants, flaky pain au chocolat, danishes, and tarts — all layered by hand and baked fresh each morning.
We stock the things we'd keep in our own kitchen — specialty oils, imported pastas, spices, and other everyday essentials done right.
Espresso drinks, pour-overs, and our signature matcha — paired with whatever pastry caught your eye at the display case.
Custom orders, special dietary needs, or just something you're craving — reach out and we'll make it happen.

Matcha En started with a simple observation: the best meals aren't the ones that impress you the most — they're the ones that make you feel seen. That's the energy we bring to every loaf we pull from the oven and every cup we pour.
Located on Chicago's South Side, we're a bakery and grocery that treats its neighbors like family. We source locally whenever we can, bake in small batches, and never cut corners on ingredients. If we wouldn't serve it at our own table, we won't serve it here.
Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee before work, picking up dinner ingredients, or settling in for a slow Sunday morning — there's a seat for you at Matcha En.
Nothing artificial, nothing rushed — just honest food.
Small batches, patient processes, serious attention to detail.
Your regulars are our reason for being — we bake for you.
Walk in as a stranger, leave feeling like you belong.
Stop by for a loaf, a latte, or just a moment of calm in a space that feels like yours.
