Yuu Tea Cafe

Vast selection of drinks ranging from a variety of outsourced Japanese matcha, Espresso based drinks (5 grouphead machines) and topping selection! The matcha brûlée was very good and my reccomendation if you stop by here. Big ceilings,wide open window lighting and real plants🌱🪴 is what immediately stuck out to me coming into this place. The area itself is kind of suspect, but walking in, it’s very comforting and it smells good🙂‍↔️. Kind of feels like I’m in one of those cafe’s in asia. The bagels are also vast in options, I can’t name ‘em all but there was at least 5-6+ types including a French toast bagel. There’s also so many options of cream cheese, the salmon spread which I had was very delish. Will come back to try the other flavors! I hope this place survives the area.🤟🏻

The pistachio ricotta was delicious, especially with the outer layer of pistachios on the side. I also ordered the violet passion with normal sweetness which was also very good. Would probably order with less sweetness next time. My sibling ordered one of their milk teas with boba pearls and found that the pearls weren’t soft enough to chew. Other than that, service was very friendly and I would love to come back to try other pastries and drinks like their matcha.

Great little boba place! We live near by and have been a few times already since they opened. Great variety of drinks and they were able to customize for my daughter. We have loved everything we’ve tasted so far. For food I’ve only ever had the bagels which were very good. But all the sweet and treats look delicious!! The staff are all really nice - super friendly and welcoming. We’ll be coming back often!

This is a super cute and friendly cafe! I’ve had some great experiences but have to be honest about some misses. After placing a mobile order today, the staff clarified if the drinks were iced or hot, and their size. The americano came out hot, I asked if it could be remade and the staff member poured it over ice. She said she was remaking it but I think we have slightly different definitions of that. Sometimes the service can be quite slow, even when ordering ahead. If you’re looking for a relaxed, dine-in experience you’ll feel super comfortable here. It’s a gorgeous cafe with amazing quality products. When they find their footing with total staff confidence, it will be an unstoppable place!

I came into the store two mornings in a row, pretty early. Each time I got a bagel. I got a rosemary bagel with roasted garlic cream cheese, and a sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. Both were really good! The jalapeño is not spicy at all, just flavored lightly and quite good. I felt like the prices were really reasonable, especially if you compare them to the big chains like Einstein or Blazing. It was pretty empty when I came in, but they’ve only been open for a few days and I go in pretty early. People probably also don’t think of them for breakfast since they are a boba place, but they’ve only bagels are well worth stopping in for.

I am so grateful this place opened right across the street from my work! I love grass jelly but some bubble tea places don’t have it or it’s not as yummy but this place has the good stuff. Love that they have smoothies and bagels too since I often need a quick bite during breaks.

i was their 25th customer at 10am! everyone was so nice and happy to see folks coming in. we’re super excited to have boba in columbia city and so close! they have a vast menu of boba tea, coffee, dessert and bagels! also great hours with lotsa of space and seating inside. cute furniture finds. i got a taro boba and my pearls were fresh and chewy. i also ordered a bagel sandwich to go. congrats team and wishing yall much success. i’ll be a regular for sure. 🫶

i've been waiting to try this place since i saw they finally opened. the staff were super kind and informative about their menu and the space was very clean :-) apart from their drinks, they also had some other desserts and bagels. i got the queen matcha which was good, but not my favorite. the matcha quality was great and the drink was creamy but i think it was a bit too tart because of the kumquat, but that's my fault since kumquats are obviously sour/tart.. -_- i will definitely be back to try other things from them :)

I very rarely feel compelled to write a review but the staff here was so friendly and the drinks we got were fantastic. VERY reasonably priced too! will definitely be coming back to support this family business!

Family run business mom started. Sons gave us the background. Teas are made fresh. They use fresh ingredients as in the purple twist using fresh taro root. Laid back and good vibes all around. Bagels looked fresh and the desserts displayed looked amazing but we had just ate so we will be back to try those. This place did not disappoint. We will be back.

First of all- service was very friendly. The restroom was clean, and the owner saved my bag that I accidentally left behind. Now about the drinks- teas were fresh, and perfect sweetness. Definitely worth stopping by!

Plenty of seating and natural sunlight with a huge menu. The service was a bit slow as there was only one staff and another being trained, but that's okay. Gyokuro milk tea with pearls (50% sweetness) - 3/5. The milk tea was very milky, lacking the tea flavor and umami of gyokuro.

We've been watching this location slowly prepare to open for a while now. Having a local coffee/tea location this close to the parks is great. There are some other options in the Columbia City historical district but parking there isn't nearly as easy without dropping a few dollars for paid parking. They have a lot of options from cold tea to milk tea to coffee shop favs. Food wise a lot of sandwich options and it's ALL DAY- as it should be for breakfast anythjng. The kumquat lemon tea was really refreshing and light sweetness option was perfect for this tea. The sandwich gives the option to pick your bagel type-sesame for me. It's all made when ordered so set your expectations accordingly- this ain't Starbucks! Anyway the service was friendly and they didn't mind answering questions which are typical when opening a new place I'm sure.

Healthy matcha drinks! Healthy and yummy. Friendly staff. Good music. Wifi available. A great bubble tea place in our neighborhood.. at last.

The tea here is fantastic- you can tell they're using quality teas, and the staff shared their story of how the teas are sourced. We tried the Matcha Lover and the Titan Oolong milk tea. Both were great, I especially loved how fragrant their oolong is. Previously tried the tie guan yin milk tea and Golden Matcha as well and both were good. Their matcha drinks are specialty drinks that remind me of chè dessert in a sweet, homey way. Beautiful and spacious store as well. All the staff were super friendly and gave great recommendations!

Love all the organic and house made food (perfect bagels) and drink options, as well as the staff's interest in educating customers about the business and its origins. What a great addition to the neighborhood!

I've been waiting FOREVER for this tea shop to open. It's conveniently located right across from The Beacon theater, my fav cult movie joint. Ordered a Golden Matcha. Oishi desu! Can't wait to try them all. Also serving coffee, bagel sandwiches, desserts, and egg waffles...

I work in the area and needed breakfast. Fewer eateries on this corner and block, making it accessible via a short walk for me. The space is quite large and has such large windows. Beautiful jazz music was playing. This would be a great place to study, or dine-in while catching up with friends. They have quite the selection of boba tea, which I will be back to try! I ordered a Vanilla Soy Latte and a Breakfast Bagel. They have multiple cream cheeses and a full espresso bar. The woman helping me was so kind and patient while I reviewed my options. I paid $15 for my items, excluding tip which I think is average. I will be back!

So yummy, so good. I got the Oolong Milk Tea with boba, which was Delicious. Really nice staff, learned that it was family owned which I liked. The shop was cute and a great spot after being out and about all day. :)

I was hoping this place will be my next go to tea Cafe but nope. I ordered brulee matcha and I was looking at how it was being made which he pour milk into match powder and mixed then line the cup with brulee cream then pour ice to top and add matcha mixed and this point he try to remove ice because it was over flowing and he used his finger to remove instead of utensil. I saw him doing that to another customer drink too. The taste of matcha not even there. mostly that egg pudding taste. And in menu pic they pour brulee cream on top but my drink as you can see in photo none. and their online ordering menu is so different for brulee matcha. you can see from the pics I post. Drink does take long time to come out. It's not worth $9.

Customer service here was however I didn't like the purple twist drink I ordered. The space is laid back and has lots of seating. Overall, I don't think I'll come back here and I don't recommend it.

Delicious new boba shop! My fiancé and I stopped in for a quick drink while we were out running errands. I got the fresh start matcha and he got the sky dust; both were excellent! The tea is all freshly brewed, which really makes a difference. We were served by the owner's son, who was very welcoming and gave us a great intro to the shop. Between the music playing (loved the Ghibli scores!) and the super cute decor, it made for a lovely little break spot.

What a fun new spot! Air conditioned with lots of natural light. They have an interesting selection of teas and they are all customizable with toppings, sweetness and ice. The Yuu Tea section of the menu offers their signature flavor combinations. The staff was very helpful talking through each item. They also have a big selection of breakfast sandwiches on your choice of bagel. My favorite part? There is more than one option without meat for the vegetarians. They also have standard coffee and espresso options making this the perfect stop if, like me, your partner isn't team boba. Finally, it open past 5 which is not super common for coffee places in the area making it a great place for an after work meetup. Very excited to have them in the neighborhood.

Was excited to check this place out after it opened recently, and it seems great. Very, very friendly, and a nice open space with lots of lighting. Menu looked exciting -- gonna be fun coming back and trying different drinks. Wife liked her Purple Twist and I like my Tiramisu wave.

Extremely nice staff, excellent service and delicious tea. Bagels were excellent and they serve homemade cream cheese. We will be back!

Incredible drink selection and the owner's son, Da, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming! They also have freshly made bagels each morning at 5am and they serve breakfast all day long! So fresh and yummy! Their special is lox bagel, which looks absolutely delicious. Their store is super clean, spacious, and has abundant sunlight!

Very nice hang out spot with modern comfortable furniture. Perfect boba and looks like a nice vegan bagel sandwich is also served. Very nice presentation as well. This spot seems nice for studying and hanging out as well as getting great boba and great service. Prices seem typical of Seattle boba shops. This seems to be an undiscovered gem.

Too much ice in my drink, pretty expensive for a simple drink. New spot gonna give some time to get better. Love to see this place improve.

cute family owned place that opened up! they are vietnamese so they do vietnamese coffee and standard coffee drinks along with fresh brewed tea drinks! locally sourced bagel sandwiches are very reasonably priced as well you can tell the family cares a lot about the business and it's refreshing to see! support local!

wonderful location with lots of natural lighting, good for studying! large menu with lots of variety, i recommend the coconut or salted viet coffee!! wonderful service as well, family run business

The inside was very spacious and clean with plenty of seating and they had a huge menu. The drinks were pretty solid and the bagels were great! The service was super friendly, spoke with the owner's daughter and she was really helpful answering all the questions we had. We'll definitely be coming back to support the lovely family owned business!
