Curator’s note

rōk takes its name from chorōk, the Korean word for green, and this is the room where the brand began in 2025. Matcha is the house's first language, and the coffee column is written to keep it company.

The Curated Order
The drink
Matcha Duo

The house's double matcha, poured over milk and finished with matcha cream, always iced.

The coffee

The matcha is ceremonial grade from Uji, Japan, first-harvest and stone-ground. Coffee ranges from an americano and a cappuccino to a Spanish latte and cold brew, with decaf on request.

The coffee side saves its invention for cream-capped signatures, like a lotus einspänner with Biscoff crumbles and a chestnut latte under roasted almonds and crushed praline. The Cafe Duo treats espresso the way the house treats matcha, with the shot streaking down the sides of the cup.

The room

A timber slat ceiling runs over blonde wood wall panels and slat screens, and grey plaster wraps a doorway and the bar front. The centerpiece is a white-blossom tree in a round black planter, and people sit on its rim or on a bench along the walls.
