The matcha latte at Norfolk Deli, Cape Town

Why this superfood drink is Cape Town’s newest obsession

We recently popped into Norfolk Deli in Sea Point and while we came for the stellar pastries, it was the matcha latte that truly caught our eye.

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill latte; it’s a bold, emerald elixir that fuses the earthy, slightly bitter essence of premium Japanese matcha with velvety smooth steamed milk, lightly sweetened to let the natural, earthy flavour shine.

The drink’s vibrant green hue practically glows against the minimalist, trendy backdrop of the deli, making it a must-have for your next Instagram snap.

Founded in late 2023 by Chelsy and Marius Theron, Norfolk Deli was born out of a desire to create a warm, community-focused deli in the heart of Sea Point. Chelsy and Marius envisioned a place where locals and visitors could enjoy artisanal bakery treats, freshly brewed coffee and innovative drinks that highlight both quality and creativity. 

In a bold move to elevate their beverage offerings, Norfolk Deli teamed up with Ceremony to bring customers a premium matcha drink that is hard to resist. This collaboration opened up a whole new level to the matcha game, with Norfolk Deli serving up some seriously innovative seasonal fruit infused matcha drinks. Some of the exciting past editions include the Iced Mango Matcha and the Dark Cherry – keep an eye out for these seasonal beauties!

Norfolk Deli’s matcha latte is simply a masterpiece in a cup – crafted with care by baristas who clearly know their coffee – and matcha – game.

While you’re savouring your matcha, don’t miss out on trying Norfolk Deli’s viral Crookies. These treats combine the best of both worlds – imagine a buttery, flaky croissant with a gooey, chocolate chip cookie center – it’s a must!
