If you've been spending your mornings at the Grid Cape Town's padel courts in Mouille Point, you may have already noticed the trailer parked there with a queue of people who look suspiciously glowy. That's Matcha & More - and once you've tried it, you'll understand.
Founded by sisters Reese and Taurus Mackenzie, Matcha & More is the kind of business that makes you believe in backing yourself. Young, passionate, and proudly not built for the 9-to-5, the two spotted a gap in Cape Town's wellness scene and ran at it, with ceremonial grade matcha, cold-pressed juices, and a menu that feels like it was designed by someone who actually cares what goes into your body. Because it was.
Two Girls, One Trailer, Zero Excuses
"We weren't built for the 9-to-5."
That's the Mackenzie sisters in a sentence. Reese and Taurus are young entrepreneurs who turned a love of matcha and a healthy lifestyle into a growing business - stationed at one of Cape Town's buzziest new social hubs, the Grid in Mouille Point, home to the city's padel courts and a crowd that shows up to move, connect, and feel good.
The trailer fits right in. It's the kind of setup that rewards the early riser: fresh drinks, clean ingredients, and a pair of founders who built something real from scratch.
The Matcha Lattes (All R80, All Ceremonial Grade)
Every latte is made with ceremonial grade matcha - the good stuff, properly prepared, not a scoop of green powder from the back of a shelf.
Just Matcha, No More - For the purists. Clean, grassy, and exactly what it says it is.
Sweet and Salty (#2 most liked) - Ceremonial matcha with salted caramel syrup. The sweet-salty contrast is dangerously good.
Honey Bun (#3 most liked) - Cinnamon and honey syrup with matcha. Warm, cosy, and surprisingly complex.
Coconut Dream - Matcha with coconut cream cloud and coconut water. Light, tropical, and perfect post-padel.
Berry Bloom Matcha - Blueberry and hibiscus syrup with ceremonial matcha. Earthy meets floral in the best way.
Red Matcha - A proudly South African twist: rooibos and honey-infused milk with ceremonial grade matcha. This one's a love letter to the Mother City.
Cloudy Date (#1 most liked - R80) - Banana bread cold foam with a drizzle of date syrup. This is the one everyone's talking about. Order it.
And More: The Wellness Add-Ons
This is where the menu earns its name. The "And More" section is a lineup of cold-pressed juices and wellness shots that slot perfectly alongside the matcha - or stand alone if you're not in a green tea mood.
Juices (R70, 350ml)
- Green Machine - Celery, kiwi, apple, cucumber, lemon, spinach, and ginger. The kind of drink that makes you feel like you've got your life together.
- Berry Nice - Seasonal berries, beetroot, apple, and lemon. Vibrant, tart, and full of colour.
- C Breeze - Carrot, orange, ginger, lemon, and pineapple. The one to order when you feel a cold coming on.
Wellness Shots
- Immune Booster (R40, 50ml) - Turmeric, lemon, ginger, cayenne pepper, honey. Hits like a soft reset.
- Runner's Choice (R45, 50ml) - Tart cherry, coconut water, ginger, and pink Himalayan salt. Designed for recovery. Built for anyone who moved their body this morning.
- Glow & More (R45, 100ml) - Apple, lime, turmeric, and aloe vera juice. Skin-first energy, quietly effective.
Matcha & More at Events
The trailer doesn't stay in one place forever. Reese and Taurus take Matcha & More to events around Cape Town - which means you might find them at your next market, activation, or wellness pop-up. If you're planning something and want a matcha station that looks good and tastes better, they're available to book.
