Mowchi Is Coming to Leicester: A New Bubble Tea and Bao Spot for the City

Exciting news for Leicester’s food and drink scene. Mowchi, the growing UK café concept known for its premium matcha, bubble tea and Asian-inspired bites, is set to arrive in the city.
Founded in 2022, Mowchi was created to bring East Asian café culture to UK high streets. The brand has quickly expanded across a number of locations, offering handcrafted bubble teas, speciality coffee, fluffy bao buns and light bites within modern, design-led spaces.
Why Leicester Matters
Leicester’s diverse community, strong student population and established city centre footfall make it a natural fit for the brand. The city continues to attract operators looking to deliver something different, and Mowchi’s offering complements the evolving food and beverage landscape.
This opening forms part of the brand’s continued expansion across key regional centres, reflecting confidence in well-positioned high street locations.
What to Expect

Customers can expect a curated menu of signature bubble teas, premium matcha drinks, speciality coffee and Asian-inspired food options. The concept focuses on quality ingredients, strong branding and creating spaces that encourage customers to stay, work and socialise.
Further details on the official opening date will be announced soon. We look forward to seeing Mowchi open its doors and contribute to Leicester’s growing hospitality scene.
