Chicago's first matcha-focused cafe, Matchacita, at 705 W. Belden Avenue, held a grand opening this week in Lincoln Park. The establishment picked a good time to launch the eatery and juice bar with beautiful weather that had locals coming out in droves over the weekend.
Playing off of the term "mamacita" and the popularity of matcha brought the team of Bianca Pearson and Zach Segal together to create a new, much needed, business. Matcha is a powder from green tea leaves that packs a punch with a concentrated amount of antioxidants for health conscious consumers.
