European matcha bar brand Jenki has unveiled plans to double its estate in London by the end of 2026.
The plans will see Jenki growing to 11 locations, with bars set to open in Soho, Liverpool Street, St Paul’s, Fitzrovia, and Marylebone from August.
It marks a “major milestone”, according to the brand, and is expected to make Jenki the largest dedicated matcha bar operator in Europe.
Alongside its expansion in London, the brand is also exploring opportunities in key regional cities as part of wider plans for 2027 and beyond.
“We’re opening where our customers are already telling us they want Jenki to be,” said Jenki co-founder Otto Boyer. “Matcha has become part of everyday life for more people across the UK, and we’re seeing that reflected in demand across London.
“These new openings allow us to bring Jenki to more communities while continuing to invest in the quality, craft and customer experience that has defined us from the beginning.”
The business was founded in 2020 by Claudia and Otto Boyer, growing from market stalls and pop-ups into a premium matcha brand with locations across Selfridges, Spitalfields, Covent Garden, Borough Market, Canary Wharf, and Battersea Power Station.
