The Most Embarrassing Restaurant Lines In America - The Infatuation

"Estimated Wait: At least 1 hour on weekend afternoons The Payoff: Expert-level matcha with various cold foam toppings "Seattle is a coffee town, and yet, everyone’s waiting hours for matcha instead—never has a caffeinated beverage generated more hype around here. Phê’s line is the most torturous, comprised of grown adults snaking around the sidewalk for a cup of green tea plopped with banana pudding. How silly. But I recommend hiding in the bushes, ready to pounce when they’ve completely run out of matcha. That way, the crazed masses disperse, and you can grab a just-as-excellent Vietnamese iced coffee and move on with your life." - bryan kim, team infatuation, will hartman, bryan kim, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nick allen, sylvio martins, cathy park, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, candis mclean, aimee rizzo
