Nestled in-between a few local shops just off of bustling N 45th st., you’ll find at 4417 Wallingford Ave N, the fourth Coffeeholic House addition. I visited just around 10 AM on Thursday, July 17. There were only a few others in front of me, but the line moved quickly.
If you aren’t familiar with this establishment or the other three locations (Columbia City, Bellevue, Greenwood) they specialize in Vietnamese coffee and Asian flavors. I decided to get their Wallingford exclusive Pan-Cha Matcha and an Ube Birthday Cake for my partner.
The Pan-Cha ($7.25 for 16 oz) is an iced matcha latte with Pandan flavoring and jelly. If you’ve never had this before, think of a sweet, yet earthy flavor… almost vanilla-y and slightly grassy. Haha I know, but if you like matcha you’d like Pandan (IYKYK)
The Ube birthday cake ($5.25 for 16 oz) tastes more like the latter. Nothing wrong with that at all, I think if you’re looking for a very sweet treat without caffeine this is your drink.
The staff were very friendly and the lady taking our order answered all questions promptly. I’m assuming the owner or at the very least manager was the most vocal and polite. He made sure to greet us and give a warm goodbye and hoped we’d enjoy our drinks! What a good guy.
The space itself is modern, clean and cool as the windows can open up completely. Perfect for a sunny day. A decent amount of people could sit and/or wait for their order— I’d say comfortably, just about 20.
Really happy for the success the “CH” owner’s are receiving. They definitely deserve it.
TLDR; Great café addition to the Wallingford neighborhood. Friendly Staff. Consistent, tasty drinks. Not sponsored.
