The Best New Restaurants in the Seattle Area | Eater Seattle

"This new Vietnamese cafe has a robust food menu that includes banh mi and xoi man (a rice bowl with a rich, salty array of meats like pork floss and pate). But if you come here, you’re coming for the drinks, which are inventive even by the standards of new-wave Vietnamese coffee shops. You might wonder, after looking at the menu, “Does the ‘corn cold foam’ on the Phe Bap really taste like corn?” And it does — it’s so corn-y it’s almost savory, and best enjoyed by scooping it up with a waffle cookie." - Harry Cheadle

This place is amazing and worth the wait! My wife got the Banana pudding Matcha Latte and I got the phe pho. The matcha Phê used taste high quality with a little sweetness from the banana pudding. The Phe pho have a unique taste but in a very good way. We both finish our drink way too quick! The food at phê was to die for. We ordered the xoi man and mi tron sate and the flavor for both dish was on point. We will be coming back for sure!

Great Vietnamese coffee. We tried the phe nau and phe bap. I would recommend either one; it just depends on what you're in the mood for. Phe nau (black coffee & condensed milk): Well-balanced! You get the strong espresso flavor and some sweetness from the condensed milk, but it doesn't overwhelm the espresso at all Phe bap: I liked the sweet corn cream, it wasn’t too sweet. The waffle cookie on top was a nice touch and the coffee was strong My bf also loved the spam, egg and avocado music and said it tasted fresher than the ones we had in Hawaii.

Amazing place and worth the wait to get in 💯. The staff takes pride in their work and it shows. The store looks like a super hip 5 star restaurant and the vibe is awesome. Drinks were insanely good!!!

Updating my review to leave a message! I hope this offsets the negative reviews. This shop is absolutely amazing! & cares deeply about the quality of drinks that are being served. People leaving 1 star reviews because they’re out of matcha is just absurd & obviously has never worked at a specialty drink/cafe. Phe you are doing an amazing job! & every time i visit i’m greeted with great hospitality & warmth. Black sesame cold foam is my go to, it’s perfectly balanced. Not too sweet & has a nice nutty profile to it! 10/10 stars if i could! p.s. the matcha is absolutely delicious —- be patient & kind, it’ll be back! And if it’s not when you are…well sucks to suck 🤷🏽‍♀️ come back next time or get another drink. It’s really that simple.

Absolution worth the hype. The matcha here is so fresh and delicious. They have a large selection of drinks and food. I got the signature banana pudding matcha latte and it was very smooth, sweet, and not over powering. Sometimes the line is long so try to go during the typical work day if you can, but definitely worth the wait if you can’t. The staff is also super kind and helpful. The atmosphere is cute and super chill. I recommend to anyone in the Seattle area!

This is my favorite new place, every item was 10/10. Tried the two Vietnamese vegetarian food items. Their rice and mushroom bowl was packed with so much flavor, it's unbelievable. It reminded me of the level of vegetarian food I've had in Vietnam itself. And the Vietnamese cheese sticks?! I've never had them like that, so good. Addictive. The drinks were the most popular, and luckily the Vietnamese condensed milk coffee was perfectly balanced, we didn't have to add sugar. The matcha quality was too tier as well, with the banana pudding flavor having actual caramelized banana pieces.

Finally got to try this virally trending cafe in Capital hill. First impression? Modern and trendy. Personally, it’s nice to watch my matcha being made upfront, instead of being poured from powders. They taste amazing. Coffee wasn’t really my style as I was already not a fan of Vietnamese style sweetness. But it was still refreshing and new. Will I come again? Yes. The matcha is amazing. I want to try the banana pudding matcha as it was sold out when I came around 2pm-ish on a Tuesday.

Enjoyed the coffee on the little seats they have by the slightly open garage - very cool interior design. I had the corn latte and my friend had the sea salt - I’d get either one again! Wish they weren’t out of stock of matcha!

Their matcha latte might just be the best I've ever had--smooth, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. On my second visit, they were sold out, so I tried the hojicha latte instead, and it was just as impressive. We also ordered the Phe Pho (Phin coffee topped with pho-spiced cream), which was both unique and surprisingly delicious. The dry pho noodle dish was another standout! Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Combined with the cozy ambiance, everything here feels thoughtfully crafted and absolutely worth the price.

I went here while traveling through Seattle and stopped in on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately, due to matcha shortage they're only offering a Matcha Cloud drink; I ordered that and a Hojicha Latte. All of my qualms about my time here are on me. I ordered things that I know I don't particularly like and (to nobody's surprise) I didn't like them. If I went back I would be very interested to explore the other, fruit flavored teas and perhaps some food on their menu. Nonetheless, the service was incredibly lovely and I had a nice time here. The decor is great and there is a lot of various types of seating; though it was tough competition to get a table with how busy it was. Should you get here before the crowds, it would be a great cafe to work at.

Although theyre out of matcha, i think their other menu items make the visit worth it! When i first came, i tried the matcha einspeinner. I thought it was okay/not that sweet, kind of grainy, but i had just been wowed by yoka. The second visit, i loved the koko kloud because of how light and refreshing it was. Lychee tea was good but not a standout. Overall, Ambiance is very open and aesthetic, service was really fast and helpful, and they have guest wifi but it's not a study vibe because it does get loud/really busy.

I've tried a couple of their Hojicha drinks- the one with the cream top and the banana cream version. Both were incredibly delicious- so good that I can't help but feel that the price was justified it was so good I came back twice the same week. Their service was quick and friendly- which as someone that have worked in the service industry, idk how they can keep the friendliness going with seemingly endless lines out the door props to them!

I really enjoyed the Thai green tea affogato with grass jelly here. Their drinks are not too sweet using rich quality tea. I came here on a Sunday afternoon, there was a line, but it moved fast. My drink took about 5 mins to come out which was very quick. The drink was around $9 but I say it's worth it since I've never had Thai green tea this good. I think this place is worth the hype and based on the people I saw in line, I think they'd agree with me as well.

After seeing raving reviews on both Yelp and TikTok, I made the trek up to Seattle to try Phe. I went on Friday afternoon, and it was fairly busy but there was still plenty of seating in their open/airy space. Once I got up to the counter, I saw a sign that said "due to very limited matcha availability, the only drinks available are on our menu". So I was slightly disappointed with that but saw they had Hojicha and any disappointment dissipated. I ordered the Hojicha with Banana Pudding and the drink was phenomenal. I've always enjoyed Hojicha and the banana pudding on top added the extra sweetness and flavor component. Overall, very pleased with the drink and service. Prices are on the higher side ($10 drink) especially for the size (the only sell/serve one size which is 16oz), with all the ice - the drink itself is minimal. I understand product and quality of the product - if it was 20oz, the price would be more appropriate. Also, I wish they served bigger sizes 20 and 24oz, it was hard not finishing the drink in minutes. Definitely recommend and would go back. PS: their spam masubi (with egg and avocado), $4.50 was so good and fresh!

The best coffee shop in town!!! HANDS DOWN. Best service with happy workers! They were very quick and efficient. Very trendy and clean aesthetic. Loved this place so much I came a few times when I was in town. I will definitely recommend this to my friends who are visiting! Thank you PHE!

I'm obsessed with the Phe Keo (honeycomb latte) here!! From the aesthetic presentation to the way the flavors balance together, the whole experience is a treat. Lines have gotten pretty reasonable by now and I've never waited more than ten minutes. Really cool interior and plenty of seating! Such a lovely spot.

Modern, industrial vibe with open and airy spacing. They were out of matcha due to the shortage, so we opted for the hojicha (roasted green tea) counterparts. Great hojicha flavors in novel combinations. Both the Einspanner and banana pudding (we should have this an option everywhere because how can you go wrong with banana and toffee bits???) were fantastic. I went on a weekday morning so wait was only 10 minutes.

The matcha cold/sweet foam on coconut water drink was sooo refreshing, i totally get the phe hype! So devastated that they've been out of matcha for so long but i will keep watch for the restock, I bet it'll be epic. Clarification- they don't have matcha drinks, but this coconut water drink is available. As a fan of coffee, I hesitated to try a coffee drink bc they all looked pretty sweet, but maybe I'm wrong. I may go back for the black sesame drink. Interior is very cute, plenty of seating (though they're always full bc they're so popular) and they open the big bay windows when the weather is nice which is peak for the vibes. The pink walls also add to the ambiance. Service was quick and the people working there was super cool, easy to chat with. So glad I went, will be back! Parking - street parking

NO WORDS! the most flavorful, floral, lychee tea by far. simplistic presentation. it's different than any other lychee tea i've had, no prepackaged syrups here!! everything is fresh and carefully brewed 10000/10 the yuzu chrysanthemum tea was average imo, it's decent was nothing special salted coffee was SUPER BOLD, my vietnamese parents approved. the cream was sweet, light, rich, lighty salted. as of july 2025, there's a matcha shortage so no lattes but there coconut with matcha cloud foam is available SERVICE: kind, welcoming staff are patient with u and open to recs despite busy hours (we went 12pm on sunday pride weekend). make drink, no rush, in front of u behind counter. SEATING: short mini cute tables in front of store, seating table to dine in (they serve food too) in the back COME HERE FOR COFFEE AND FRUIT TEA, IM IMPRESSED

The ambience, interior design, open area concept-- I am all for it! Located in the central area of capitol hill, parking can be challenging. The big roll down window is open and you will see people waiting outside when you walk by. I wanted to try matcha drink but they are still out. Someone said they will maybe restock in July, in a few weeks? But who knows with this matcha shortage... i ended up ordering c6. Phe me, black sesame drink. For 18 oz, it was about $9 after tax. Was it worth it? Yesssss. Sesame was thick and nutty and blended well with viet coffee. It was very refreshing with ice and I would definitely get it again! (I am a little obsessed with matcha/black sesame ) i do wanna come back here to try their regular viet coffee and matcha drinks!

It's pretty good. I wouldn't say it lives up to the hype, because it's honestly like any other Vietnamese coffee shop in Seattle, but the drinks are still pretty solid. I thought the teas were better than the coffee, and I hear their matcha is good, but they were sold out of it when we came. The store is actually quite large and has a lot of seating inside to study and do work. They'll even open the outside wall when the weather is nice to let in some fresh air. Despite having long lines, service is quick. The drinks are a little pricey for the size though, about $8 without tip for 16oz. Overall not bad. I'd get it again if I was in the area, but I think other Seattle Vietnamese coffee shops are better.

There was about a 10 person line in when we got there but it went by really fast and all three of our drinks came out in less than 10 minutes as well. Baristas gave us little tips on the best way to enjoy each drink. (~$7-$10/ drink) Masubis have avocado and bacon included in them AND were piping hot even though they were sitting out on the counter. There's a lot of seating indoors with a very aesthetic vibe: concrete walls and a garage door they open when it's nice out. Our favorite drink was the honey comb. The topping + the cream tastes like a toasted marshmallow but isn't super sticky so it doesn't get stuck in your teeth. The other two drinks were also good.

Wanted to come try this place as a longtime vietnamese coffee (and all things vietnamese really) lover to see what they were about. Heads up they were out of matcha when I went and seem to be strongly affected by the matcha shortage, but luckily I'm not a matcha person so that just means less crowds and more for me! I wanted to come here especially to try the vietnamese coffee with caramel milk and a honeycomb toffee on top. The cold foam was perfectly light, creamy, cold. The caramel milk wasn't too strong, just enough caramel flavor. The honeycomb toffee was divine, got really nice ALMOST burnt flavor to really balance the sweetness and drink in a cool way. The coffee itself tasted too sweet for my liking but I don't know if it's fair to expect anything else in a drink like this. Interior is huge for a cap hill spot and seems to be going for a cozy brutalist vibe. I dig!

Phe lives up to the hype that it has generated. With a line at the door before opening, you know this place must be good! With friendly staff and lots of seating area in this modern industrial cafe, you are sure to enjoy your time here. There is currently a matcha shortage here at Phe, but it was nice that they had an updated printed version of their menu containing items that they currently have in stock. The Banana Pudding Hojicha Latte was super tasty. The hojicha had a bold and enjoyable flavor that was perfectly paired with the sweet banana pudding and toffee bits. All the flavors blended well with each other to create a perfect drink. The Phe Keo was very tasty and creamy. The coffee taste was not super strong, but very prominent. Paired well with a subtly sweet foam and a toasty honeycomb, this is a fun drink to get if you want to try something new. Overall, Phe lives up to the TikTok hype. With unique Asian and Viet flavors, this is a cafe to go to if you're looking for good drinks and a chill vibe.

I went here on a Friday morning and it was quite busy, and I did not check reviews about long waits before going. Regardless the line and getting the drink took about 15 minutes, shorter if the ordering system were more structured. I got the Phe Keo which had honeycomb on top for a varied experience. It was visually aesthetic. They did warn me it was on the sweeter side so I duly noted and it was indeed quite sweet. Fortunately this drink I shared so it was doable, as I wouldn't have finished it otherwise. $8 before tax is very steep for the drink. Even though Vietnamese coffee is strong and thus warrant lots of ice, I feel like there just wasn't enough drink even taking that into account. I've been to most of the other Vietnamese coffee shops in Seattle and those honestly were better executed for a lower price. It was a bit annoying when the 2 employees assigned to make drinks both spent a good 5 minutes talking to a customer when there was a huge backlog of drinks. I get it if it's a short convo or if 1 employee still slowly takes care of the orders but that wasn't the case. Lots of people waiting and placing orders. Additionally, 3 orders after me were made and called and I had to come to the counter to see they finally finished off my drink, made a bit haphazardly cause they added too much foam and they had to awkwardly remove foam. It's a very popular drink so I'd have expected them to nail it, along with how much they are charging to begin with. A lot of the drinks are unavailable like almost the entire matcha series which from reviews have been quite a long while. Maybe I make a visit back to try the banana pudding variation and hopefully that would yield a better rating, although shelling out $11 before tax is going to be reserved for a splurge. I guess this place specializes as a caffeinated dessert place and less a coffee shop at this point. Honestly overrated and disappointing experience.

I saw the reels about this cafe and I decided to go on a weekday since they recommended to go during weekday so there won't be a lot of people. I was so excited for the matcha but they sold out everything and banana pudding drinks. It's pretty disappointing to be honest. The waiting line is confusing. I had to ask a lot people in there and see who ordered the drink already and who's waiting to order. I ordered a hajicha latte. It's a very beautiful drink with that little flower on top. I like it they didn't make it too sweet even I forgot to mention the sugar level. However it tasted okay in my opinion. It has a weird after taste. I had hajicha at many places before and didn't have that weird after taste. Overall it's okay to me at least just for hajicha latte. maybe if I'm nearby cap hill hopefully I get to try their matcha and give an update review.

This place is so popular, the best advice is to go on a weekday if you can. Luckily, I was visiting Seattle on vacation so could do just that. On the weekends the lines can sneak out the door. But when I went for lunch, I was able to walk up and order. Staff was friendly, and I really appreciated how quickly the barista pulled together my black sesame latte. I also ordered a banh mi, which was an unusual combination of pork and pate. I sat with my dog on the little stools near the front. It's a really sophisticated decor and the latte drinks are indeed tasty and foamy. You get a lot of cream at the top so you have to really blend it well to enjoy it fully. A really fun experience overall.

Visited Phe twice within two weeks and already looking forward to the next visit. Beverages: I came mainly for their matcha drinks but was a little disappointed that they were still out of most matcha options both times, except for the Koko Matcha Kloud. So far, I've tried Phe Xiu, Phe Miko, Koko Matcha Kloud, and the banana pudding hojicha latte. C5 and M3 are my top favorites. Both were refreshing and not overly sweet. Wait time: Expect a long wait, especially on weekends. Even during my weekday visit, there was about a five-minute wait for drinks. Parking: Located in Capitol Hill with only street parking available. Really hope they restock their matcha options soon so I can try the full menu.

I went to Phe on a Thursday morning. So there was no line. The location is quite easy to find. I ordered 2 drinks. Service was fast and the staff was friendly. The place has cement floor. It gives a garage vibe. Near the entrance it has a bunch of little stools and tiny tables that resembling local eatery in Vietnam. It also has regular table and chairs. All in all, nice and comfy place to have coffee. They ran out of matcha earlier in the week. I read about it online. So the 2 drinks I ordered were just coffee and not matcha. So here is what I think of their drinks. It is pricey. My coffee only comes in the larger size. And the other one with banana cream was the same size. They are small. And my coffee comes with jelly that stuck in the bottom with at least half of the cup of rice. I had to spoon the ice cubes out to get to the jelly, needless to say there wasn't much coffee. Will I go back again? Probably not. Seattle is filled with plenty of coffee places. Time to explore other places.

The traditional Vietnamese coffee with almond milk was smooth and flavorful. The banh mi was tasty, but I wish it had more meat and toppings, it felt a bit light. The place had a clean, modern vibe that made it a comfortable spot to hang out.

Phê is that girl of coffee shops. You know the one, effortlessly cool, stylish without trying too hard, and unexpectedly thoughtful once you get to know her. It's a chic space and first, I assumed it was going to be one of those $8 for the aesthetic kind of places. But honestly, they put care into their drinks here. I ordered the Phê Kẹo ($8): phin-brewed coffee with creamy caramel, milk, cold foam, and their house-made honeycomb toffee. Rich, layered, and sweet but balanced. The barista even gave me a few tips on how to sip it to get the full experience -- loved that small but thoughtful touch. I went on a weekday morning and had no wait, which made the whole experience even better.

This Vietnamese cafe is actually pretty good like everyone says! I had their black coffee with milk and added banana pudding (extra $3) and it tasted amazing! The banana pudding went well with the coffee and gave it a nice sweet taste. I mixed pudding with the coffee and there were some bits of it here and there. It was also topped with hazelnut nut which gave it some extra flavor and crunch. My coffee was a total of $10, but I'd say it's worth it for the higher quality Viet coffee. I also had their banh mi with meat and it was pretty good! It's $9 so definitely a bit more pricey than the average prices of Banh mi. I liked how there was more pate/sauce than the normal. The meat and veggies were fresh and the bread was crispy. The service was good. The server answered any questions I had and gave me recommendations on how to make my drink the best it could be. The drinks were pretty fast to be made, even though we waited in line for a bit. I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. There's a good amount of seating and it's organized well. I enjoy the theme, walls, and lightning. I wouldn't say it's the best place to study since it's pretty loud. I'd rather just hangout there. The entrance has the ability to leave the whole window open, but it's nice to be able to enjoy coffee and the weather/fresh air.

Here's a refined version of your review: I went to Phê in Seattle after hearing all the rave reviews and decided to stop by during my visit. There was a line out the door, but it moved quickly. I got the coconut matcha, which was incredibly creamy and rich--definitely a standout. My friend got the cà phê kẹo, which was recommended by the staff. It was strong and bold, a little too strong for me personally, but still good. The coffee shop has a really cute vibe, reminiscent of cafés in Vietnam, with a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and our drinks came out fast. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and looking for unique Vietnamese-inspired drinks!

I've come here so many times but they were never in stock of their normal matcha drinks. I caved and got the matcha kloud which is the only matcha adjacent item on their menu. It was much better than I expected, very creamy and not overpowered by the coconut water base at all. Service here is really quick but the seating might be a little hard to come by. We sat on by the crates that are very low to the ground by the entrance

I've been hearing so much about this new cafe on TikTok and I can fully say it was worth the hype. We got the banana pudding matcha and it was an obvious hit but the standout drink was the mango matcha. I would've never thought that mango puree would go so well with matcha but it WORKS. We did wait in line due to popularity, but it was relatively short.

Is the matcha good? Yes Was it worth the wait? Maybe to try but not for close to 50 minutes. Knocked off a star for that. Vibe is industrial zen. I ordered the matcha eispanner which has a corn foam and it was delicious.

Similar concepts to the shop in Fremont. The tea tastes bland and cream has minimal flavor. I will stick with the one in Fremont m.

This place was so packed this Friday afternoon. But the baristas were amazing and made high quality drinks quickly. They had a sign that says out of matcha unfortunately. Food looked great but I can for the drinks. Loved the variety and not too sweet. They have a lot of space and have huge windows that open to give a good breeze.

Came here for the sunday soft opening around 1pm! We got lucky and only waited around 35 minutes total to order and receive our drinks. Very aesthetic cafe that also doubles as a restaurant. We ordered 3 drinks. Phe sua - 5/5 Very strong! Would recommend if you want a kick. Must wait for the ice to melt. Matcha latte - 3.5 The matcha is so green! It tastes a bit vegetal to me though, not my preference. Hojicha latte - 4/5 Not a strong roasted flavor, but very creamy. Would come back again once the hype dies down for their opening.

Visited on their Saturday soft opening and joined the line at 9:45 AM. They're open from 10 AM-4 PM during the 5/17 weekend. The interior is spacious, aesthetic, and trendy. We ordered the mi tron, xoi man, matcha einspanner, hojicha einspanner, mango matcha latte, and banana pudding matcha. Our food came out first, and drinks started rolling out at 11 AM. I got the matcha einspanner with the default sweetness and less ice. It was solid and perfectly balanced. I'd definitely order it again. On the other hand, I wasn't a fan of the xoi man and honestly wouldn't recommend it unless you're really hungry. Since Phe is still in their soft opening phase and riding a lot of social media hype, expect to wait around an hour for drinks. Unless you're down for that, it might be worth waiting a few weeks or months until the "new matcha spot" buzz dies down. Overall, I thought it was worth trying, but I personally wouldn't wait an hour again. TLDR: Solid matcha einspanner, definitely one of the better ones in Seattle. Expect long waits until the hype settles.

The spam musubi was pretty good, fancier than other ones I've had but really good -- thought the price was pretty fair for what you get. The coffee as always was very good, the lychee tea was alright. I thought the jelly would be like lychee jelly that's typical at like boba spots but it was much mushier. It was alright just not what I expected. Overall everything was good, fast and friendly service

Drinks were amazing! Just sad because they ran out of matcha today and I was so excited to try it. Nonetheless, their other drinks were great. The service was friendly and fast considering the amount of people that were there. We also tried their spam musubis which were delicious (came with egg, avocado, bacon, & spam). The ambiance was nice, modern, and clean. Would definitely come here to try their matcha!

The drinks we had were great! The bahn mis were good. The vegan bahn mi was perhaps a bit too much sauce as it got soggy on the bottom. They were out of matcha so I'd love to come back when they have that back. The service was good, though when I asked about what had coffee in it, the server seemed confused and kept telling me about caffeine instead of coffee. The ambiance is cool - it's got a bit garage door that opens when the weather is nice and they have tiny chairs and tables near the front like a little patio and more full sized tables and booths towards the back.

Got the green Thai tea with grass jelly and banana pudding hojicha. Was hoping to get matcha but with the matcha shortage I wasn't able to get it. Drinks were a bit expensive for what it is. It was a bit busy when I went since it blew up online but not too bad. I like how it was a modern vibe to it and also had the small chairs and tables like in Vietnam.

This place is amazing! Found it from social media & im so glad i stumbled upon it! The first time we came we tried the Phe Me (w/ black sesame cream) & Phe Bap (w/sweet corn cream & waffle cookie). Both drinks were amazing! We loved it so much that we came the next day to try more drinks! Unfortunately they don't have any matcha (other than the matcha sweet cream) due to the matcha shortage, but their coffee drinks are still worth the try! I'll be back the next time I'm in Seattle!

Came on a Friday morning, and there was a short 5 min wait. Since they were out of matcha, I tried the banana pudding hojicha latte which came with toffee bits. The tea flavor was not strong at all, but the pudding itself was creamy and smooth. Overall, aesthetic interior and friendly service. The drinks were priced bit steep for the size, and the hojicha was pretty mild in flavor, but maybe the matcha options would be a better choice.

came here on a Saturday and the line was to the door but surprisingly moved really fast and the drinks were also made very quickly BUT they currently are out of matcha due to the shortage ): got the honeycomb toffee coffee and it was pretty good! It has a slight salt taste to it that pairs well. The corn one had a very subtle corn flavor but was good and the black sesame had a nice flavor. The interior is so cute I love the aesthetic! Definitely will come back once they get matcha again

Very lovely cafe, I loved the aesthetic and it seemed like a very well structured and orderly environment. Got in line at 11 on a Sunday and ended up getting my drinks at 12 so it was a bit of a long wait. We got the Matcha Einspanner and the Mango Matcha Latte. I think both were really good but a bit on the sweeter side. I do think that the price is a little steep but overall a good experience!

BEST CAFE in WA hands down!!!! Everything on their menu is top tier and doesn't miss!!!! They put extreme care into every drink/food item on their menu and it always is worth the wait and price. I will always drive 15+ minutes just for them! Staff is incredibly friendly, and the interior of the cafe is just beautiful! Their matcha is the best quality I have ever had honestly anywhere in the US.

Mmmmmmm! So delicious! You have got to try their matcha cloud drink. It was coconut water, pandan jelly, topped with a matcha cloud foam. Sooo craveworthy! I can't stop thinking about it!

I tried the hojicha einspanner and while the concept is creative, it tasted kind of watery and the hojicha flavor didn't really come through that much. Seemed kind of pricey for the quality of the drink I received.

Was visiting Seattle on vacation when I noticed a huge line in front of this coffee shop. It turned out it was a Vietnamese coffee spot. I'm a sucker for Viet coffee, so I immediately hopped in line. I ordered the classic Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk and also tried the pineapple iced tea. Hands down, the best Viet coffee I've ever had. It's super concentrated, so be ready for a caffeine punch. It's rich, smooth, and full of flavor. The shop itself is sleek, modern, and spotless with plenty of seats if you ever need to hangout with friends or get work done. Even with a long line, the staff kept things moving quickly and efficiently. Definitely worth the wait and hype. A must-stop if you're in Seattle and need a serious coffee fix.

Huge line but service was quick! Grabbed some matcha drinks to go and a snack. They pump out some great drinks, high quality ingredients, and prices are average. Super clean and modern ambiance.

Such a nice little cafe with seriously addicting drinks. We tried a couple including the phin coffee with sweet corn cream, phin coffee with black sesame cream, phin coffee with cold foam and honeycomb toffee, and the koko matcha kloud. They were all heavenly but my favorite was the phin coffee with black sesame cream. It is unbelievably creamy, rich, and has the perfect nutty, toasty flavor from the black sesame. Definitely worth checking this place out!

I was so excited to visit this place when I saw the line outside because I absolutely love matcha and viet coffee. Of course, the prices are on the higher side since this banana pudding matcha latte was $10. I would get it again though! The banana pudding itself tasted really good with the toffee bits and when you mix it with the matcha it helps add some sweetness. The matcha itself also had a strong, rich flavor. I'd love to try the viet coffee next time as well.

What are the best Matcha lattes I've had in Seattle Washington. The line took about 20 minutes starting at noon on a Friday. It took about 15 minutes for the drinks. The Matcha latte wasn't too sweet, wasn't too bitter, the perfect ballots. They have unique flavors however I was disappointed that they sold out of the banana Matcha latte. Friendly service, great aesthetics, large seating area. I highly recommend this place. I would come back.
