Private matcha catering for events that deserve more.
Matcha Minka brings a fully curated ceremonial matcha bar to private events across San Francisco. Birthdays, milestone celebrations, dinner parties, and intimate gatherings — served at the same standard we bring to corporate and brand events.
Everything handled.
Nothing left to chance.
Private events in San Francisco are personal — and the details reflect it. Matcha Minka brings a level of quality that most private caterers don't reach: ceremonial-grade sourcing, in-house ingredients, and a service team trained to match the occasion. Whatever you're celebrating, the bar should match the moment.
Ceremonial-Grade Matcha
Japan-sourced, stone-ground ceremonial matcha — the highest grade available. Not the culinary powder used by most caterers.
Custom Drink Menu
Signature drinks built around your event theme, season, or personal preferences. Nothing generic.
House-Made Syrups
Lavender, honey, fig, rose, seasonal specials — all made in-house with real ingredients. No Torani or shelf-stable syrups.
Intimate or Large Format
We scale to your event — from 20-person dinner parties to 200-person celebration gatherings.
Full Setup & Breakdown
We arrive early, set up completely, and leave the space exactly as we found it. You host — we handle the service.
Trained Barista Team
Hospitality-first service style. Warm, professional, and calibrated to the energy of a private event.

Your guests leave impressed.
The matcha was remarkable. The service was invisible. And you didn't think about it once — because you didn't need to.
Iced Matcha
Ceremonial-grade matcha over ice with whole or oat milk. The foundation of everything we do.
Iced Strawberry Matcha
House-made strawberry meets ceremonial matcha. Our most requested creation at every event.
Iced Vanilla Matcha
Pure ceremonial matcha with house-made vanilla. Subtle and refined — guests always come back for a second.
Iced Banana Pie Matcha
Creamy, layered, unexpected. The creation that surprises every guest.
Iced Vanilla Fig Matcha
Ceremonial matcha with house-made vanilla fig. Sophisticated, seasonal, and unmistakably Matcha Minka.
Matcha Minka brought exactly the kind of polish we wanted. It didn't feel like an add-on. It felt like part of the event design.

What's the minimum guest count for a private event booking?
We work with events of all sizes. Reach out with your guest count and we'll let you know if we're the right fit and what the pricing looks like.
Can you set up at a private residence?
Yes — we've served at homes, gardens, rooftops, and private venues throughout San Francisco.
Can we choose the flavors for a private event?
Absolutely. We'll talk through the menu together and build something specific to your preferences, dietary needs, and event theme.
Do you do non-alcoholic event catering only?
Yes — matcha and specialty beverages only. We focus entirely on the non-alcoholic beverage experience so it actually gets the attention it deserves.
How far ahead do we need to book?
2–4 weeks for most private events. Peak season weekends book faster. The sooner you reach out, the better.
