Excellent! Had the Temptation Bowl with spicy tuna. It was so full of flavor and spice. I loved the fresh spring lettuce on the bottom with very small pieces of jalapeño. Every bite had a bright bold taste. The space is small but we did eat in and the service was friendly and quick. I highly recommend this place! Go and enjoy! read more

I traipsed into Coffee Tree & Poke on First Hill and ordered the Ippo Sake poke bowl with a crisp iced coffee but my eyes kept wandering to the Spam Musubi. Staff were sweet and chirpy, the vibe chill minimalist café meets hospital lobby and I'll definitely snag that musubi next time with a smoothie. Outdoor seating is limited but all you'd see are hospital scrubs anyway - Take the Musubi and smoothie for a walk in one of Seattle's architecturally richest neighborhoods! read more

Rate it minus 1 star from my first review, he hasn't done much to update or clean up the space. The owner needs to step up its game by cleaning up the space better. The walls are very dusty, and so are the pipes hanging from the ceiling. Flies are aplenty. Service is great, although I've seen a few of the staff come and go. Food is good, I wish there was an option for just the Korean BBQ with salad only -nothing else. Still pricey. Ok maybe it's better to wait a while longer to come back here. read more

Quick service and good poke! My favorite was actually the pickled cucumbers, but they're not like pickles. It was a pleasant surprised when I tried them. I appreciate having a poke place near the hospital, there's not a lot of food options around there. Having poke on a hot day hits the spot. It's a smaller restaurant with a couple seating. It's also a coffee shop too! read more

Been here a couple times and the poke bowls have always been great. Got a salmon bowl this time and I tried their temptation bowl before. Both were delicious but I do prefer the traditional salmon bowl. I also tried the taro milk tea over ice and it was better than I expected. The boba was chewy and had a good amount of sweetness, but the taro drink itself did taste a bit powdery. Overall, really enjoy the food and the friendly staff here! read more

Coffee Tree & Poke - Salmon Poke Bowl - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is absolutely delicious! I definitely recommend it! i'd post a picture of my food, but it was so good. I couldn't stop eating.

I'm disappointed with the service 9/1/2023. I spent $24 with tips on a bowl and coffee. When I asked for coffee, staff recommended to try their cold brew but unfortunately it did not taste well so I requested a different coffee. They refused unless I paid extra. The owner said they can only add a different flavor to the cold brew. I'm a regular customer but today both my drink and poke bowl were off and tasteless. They had the opportunity to make it right but choose not. I won't be returning. read more

This place was just okay. They have a lot of things going on (coffee, poke, boba, hot foods), and I wasn't overly impressed with my first visit. However, it wasn't bad considering that they don't really specialize in one thing. I stopped by during lunch with my coworkers and ordered their salmon poke bowl. The bowl was fine, but it's not one of the better bowls I've had, and here's why: 1) The amount of fish is substantially less than other poke establishments. 2) They skimped out on my toppings. I could count the number of corn kernels and edamame I received in my bowl, because it was hardly a decent scoop. 3) I don't think lettuce goes with poke bowls, and I would recommend subbing that out. 4) Canned corn 5) The sauce is pretty much sriracha and mayo. However, given its proximity to my work location, it's not a bad option and would come back if I were really craving poke. I also ordered the pina colada smoothie with boba. This was also okay but I'd probably skip this next time since there's much better boba shops in the area (i.e. Sharetea). read more

Wahoooo! Finally started getting out for lunch at work and stumbled upon this little place. The interior is small, but quaint. I arrived right around lunchtime so it was pretty busy! Thankfully I snagged a seat right after I ordered. The salmon in the poke bowl is delishhhhh. Very cold and fresh tasting, with the perfect amount of sweetness in the seasoning. They give you a generous amount of everything -- rice, greens, seaweed salad, kanikama, edamame, and more. I would love to try the different combo bowls they have available, or the hot food they have on the menu. I've been bringing my lunch to work more often now, but I'll for sure be back to try some other menu items... and coffee! read more

Omg.... Hands down, the Temptation Poke is just the best thing. The space is so bright and airy with the biggest windows and pretty marble tables. There is even a gorgeous green velvet love seat for a cute little photo op! The staff is lovely and kind and everyone was accommodating for my annoying needs. Location is perfect for my breakfast, lunch, and brunch break from work. ALSO, the food came out like wildly fast... best thing ever. But seriously, get the temptation bowl.... SO GOOD. read more

Solid poke joint in the area. Place is small but there are few available seats. Highly recommend the temptation bowl! Fish slices are fresh and nicely marinated. The tempura/wonton strips added a nice texture to the dish. Appreciate the aromatic miso soup that always come with the meal. As also voiced by some reviewers, I notice that the amount of fish is slightly less compared to similar establishments. Not a deal breaker as it all comes down to the freshness and taste. I've never gotten their bubble tea and coffee but their smoothies are always consistent. They also have protein smoothie option available. Overall, would visit again. Not to mention staffs are friendly and welcoming! read more

Did not try any of the other items on the menu, except the salmon poke bowl- with spicy sauce on the side. The bowls come with miso soup too! ;) read more

I am a public health microbiologist and work at Harborview Medical Center. Things in public health have been more than a little crazy lately, and coffee is a critical component of success. As a lifelong Seattleite, I have become a bit of a coffee connoisseur; though some would probably tell you that coffee snob is more reflective of reality, but I digress. The two main things I look for in a coffee house are great coffee, and great people with a passion for great coffee. Coffee Tree more than delivers. Concerning the quality of both coffee and character, Coffee Tree and the people who bring it to life are among the best in the city--and this is coming from someone who's been to countless coffee houses. There are some establishments that serve as a convenient go-to for reliably and relatively decent coffee, but not a place you'd go out of your way to visit. At a few blocks from the hospital, Coffee Tree is extremely convenient. It truly is a place worth going to even if it was inconvenient--the first sip of my daily afternoon breve latte is a transformative experience every time. The beans are fresh, the grind is superb, and the shots are pulled perfectly, yielding a rich espresso with subtly sweet notes of caramel that greet you with the unique and intoxicating aroma of well-crafted coffee. Bitterness is nonexistent. Situated on a corner in the shade of trees, and with giant windows and adorable tables and chairs outside to accommodate both indoor and outdoor people-watching preferences, Coffee Tree is a place where coffee lovers will feel at home. Even if you're not usually big on coffee, I suggest a visit; you might just leave as a coffee lover yourself. 10/10, highly recommend. P.S. I feel compelled to add that, as a Seattleite, I borderline despise Starbucks. Starbucks is terrible and taints my city's reputation as the coffee capital of the nation with its shots of mediocre brown liquid made from old beans that taste like someone forgot in the oven more than once. read more

Coffee Tree & Poke - the outside of a coffee shop - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What?? A coffeeshop that serves poke! Or a Poke place that serves delicious coffee. Either way, I'm a huge fan. I was walking by after getting my nails done and wanted to stop by for a cup of coffee. But I ended up getting a poke bowl as well. This place is super cute inside! It's small but it has big windows and everything is white inside! Perfect for pretty pictures :) my kind of style! The place is small so there's not a lot of seating area except by the bar stool along the window. The staff here was so friendly and kind! I want to come here often and tell everyone to try this place!! Hahah I do feel like this place is overlooked compared to all the other recent new poke places that came up in Seattle - but definitely go try this place out! They give you free miso soup with your bowl which is a plus. Anyways, their poke was super fresh and tasty. You can add corn as a topping to the bowl!!! I love corn so even just that option already won me over times ten! :) I can't wait to go back and get some delicious poke as well as a good cup of coffee! read more

To best express my feeling of the place, I will go accordingly with the Yelp star-system and I personally have experienced better. And no, I am not referring to Hawaii just to keep this review fair. So Seattle have been crushing on poke like crazy and of course, I plan to try as many places as I am able to do so. Coffee Tree & Poke is conveniently situated in Pill Hill so its a great place for those that work in the area. I went with the poke bowl with salmon. The bowl is similar to 45th Stop and Shop's where its displays other toppings such as avocado, ginger, krab salad, masago, edamame, greens and corn. To be honest with you, I wasn't crazy about this bowl. The poke wasn't as seasoned as I was expecting and under the krab salad was a salad with sesame dressing (aka the side salads you'd find at teriyaki joints). Normally I enjoy these salads but I didn't like how it went with the other flavors in the bowl. The bowl wasn't huge but I couldn't finish the bowl since I wasn't liking the mix of flavors. If I do end up at Coffee Tree & Poke again, I will definitely just get poke and rice. Honestly poke doesn't need to have so much going on to be great, just as long as the fish is fresh and is seasoned just right. read more

When walking in I was blown away actually! The look is sooo cute! It's great for the neighborhood, so many people came there on Saturday to visit the new "talked" about spot! I live near the coffee tree and heard about this spot opening. The owner was mixing up a tasty poke dish (photo) which is different from the other location and PERFECT! I got the bubble tea which was my first time and I loved it. I got the tapioca balls and I have to say I was sad when they were gone! Delicious treat for a HOTT day, love it. The workers at the hospitals were going there on their break and they were actually super happy to have a new spot to go to! If your in the area stop on by, check it the new spot! read more

One of the reasons I miss working at Harborview is poke! As busy as they can get during rush hour, they work pretty darn fast and always friendly. The place is always clean and lots of natural light which makes the place so inviting. They have the best spicy salmon bowl!!! read more

Spicy salmon poke bowl was pretty saucy and the rice was warm, but delicious combo and good ingredients. I like that they have the premade bowls.

Coffee Tree & Poke - Spicy salmon bowl and mango smoothie - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've had Coffee Tree & Poke bookmarked for a while, and finally stopped by to grab a poke bowl to go a few days ago. The shop is located on a quiet street on First Hill, and serves your typical coffee drinks along with poke, which makes for quite an odd combination. The place was quiet when I walked in and I immediately zeroed in on a 2 fish poke bowl with tuna and salmon. Gotta get a baseline rating in. In the bowl: rice salad regular salmon spicy tuna masago krab salad cucumber edamame corn seaweed salad The rice was still warm when I got back to the office and dug in. I was pretty disappointed that the 'spicy tuna' was just some tuna with some spicy mayo drizzled on top. Once I mixed everything together, I didn't really get a whole lot of flavor. While the fish was fresh, and they didn't skimp on any of the fixings, the whole bowl sort of missed the mark for me. For ~$13, I was full, but wished it had packed a bigger flavor punch. read more

I wish I knew about this place before, what a hidden gem! I had a poke bowl which was full of salmon and tuna. I liked how you don't have to decide what goes in the bowl, as that always overwhelms me. It is a standard set of ingredients and there is no shortage of anything! It came with free miso soup, but since it was 80 degrees I passed on the offer. Food was made fresh to order. Even during a weekday at lunch time they kept up with the crowd. I didn't have to wait more than 5-10 minutes for my order. They have open windows to enjoy a breeze inside or a couple of cute bistro tables lining the sidewalk. Definitely will return as the rest of their menu looked great! read more

5 stars for food, 5 stars for coffee, 5 stars for service. I ordered some poke for delivery, as I frequent their other location and saw there was delivery for this location. The service received was superb! My order arrived incomplete, and when I called in to inquire about it they really went above and beyond. In my mind I was expecting a partial refund or a note that I could pick up my remaining items at another time, but instead they went the extra mile to deliver it to me personally. That kind of service, to go that extra mile really speaks to the quality of service they provide. The poke was fresh and delicious and the First Hill Tower was delightful with a lovely hint of spice. Highly recommend checking it out for yourself. The coffee is always amazing as well. Great job guys! Very happy (and appreciative) customer. read more

I was excited to try this place...I went in trying to order a panini and a boba, got yelled at by this rude man who clearly has communication/ anger issues and has no business being behind the counter, ended up cancelling my food order because he just couldn't get it, and ended up walking out feeling angry and regretful for ruining my morning with a mediocre boba at best. What a nasty attitude! Do your business a favor and don't let this person interact with customers. I am never spending another dime on this place and letting everyone I know as well. read more

Come here for the poke, not for the bubble tea! Seattle has a strong poke game, so I can't say that this place has better poke than any other place, but it is very tasty. The pricing is also on par with other places and serving sizes are decent. The bubble tea is nothing to write home about, though. The tapioca were hard and one of the teas was strangely under-filled. They were clearly made with the flavored powder -- bubble tea is not their strong suit, would not recommend. read more

I got the 2 fish order of spicy salmon and spicy tuna....SOO GOOD I called for a pick up order, but when I arrived they didn't have the poke there. It was weird because where they actually make the poke is in a whole other building and they have people courier your dish to this address on 8th . The person taking my order should've let me know that though. The even crazier thing was that they said that I could walk over to the address on 9th where the dish is, which I was NOT down for because it was already pouring out and I didn't have a great rain coat on as I just ran downstairs from work. Oh, but the cashier did offer me an unbrella to use.... dafuq. Anyway, the cashier called over and the food was taken to me pretty quickly. read more

Coffee Tree & Poke - 2 Fish Poke Bowl - Spicy Tuna & Spicy Salmon *heart eyes - Poke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This review is only for the boba, I haven't had a chance to try their poke yet! I got the taro with boba per the recommendation of the lady at the register. I was confused why they made the milk tea in a blender. Perhaps i ordered the slush rather than the milk tea, but even if I did they should of clarified my order. The taro flavor overall was good and very strong. Because the drink was icy, the boba was relatively hard and not soft like it should be. Overall, would definitely give them another try, and look forward to coming back to try their poke. read more

Working up on 'pill hill' there are not a lot of good food options for lunch - bring it on Poke. Ya'll I have had a recent Poke obsession and this place does not disappoint. On top of Poke they make a delicious latte and have boba tea! Coffee Tree & Poke is a smaller spot, more of a grab and go type (perfect for the work crowd around here). This isn't your typical Poke place with the line set up, look and pick your ingredients. They have a couple pre-made bowls and then you can make changes as you like. It actually makes it pretty simple, just take your pick and enjoy! Staff is so friendly, place is clean and food is delicious. Seriously guys, pill hill is limited with healthy and good food options and Coffee Tree Poke is a must stop. read more

So far, this is my favorite poke place. The interior is super cute but it was smaller than I thought. It won't be able to fit a big group. The staff were really friendly and welcoming! They have a good variety of food options which is awesome! I haven't tried their boba or coffee yet but it looks good. Haha. I only got their spicy unagi poke bowl and that alone was super yummy! It's $2 extra for unagi. The flavor was on point and the portion definitely filled me up. I still even had some leftovers. I'm definitely coming back here when I'm around the area. :) read more

This place started out okay, but the last few times has been not too great. I usually order the Temptation Bowl and it's been great. Today, half the bowl is crispy wontons, there is hardly any rice and wayyyyyyy too much sauce - horrible! The two lady employees in here today are also VERY LOUD! They are yelling, not just talking loud, but YELLING loudly across the room to each other in a foreign language non-stop! Not a relaxing environment at all to take a break from work. This all makes me really sad because I have always looked forwarded to coming here but for the price, the food lately has not been worth it. (Bring earplugs or sit outside if you want a somewhat quiet environment). **Side note. The owner just walked in. The whole ambiance changed. It is quiet now and the two employees are now very quiet. Wow. read more

Looks like the Poke craze continues! It's kind of a D-I-Y system here. You choose whether or not you want it in a salad with rice or just fish, then you choose your protein options and whether or not you want any other toppings. I like that they also offer boba drinks to go with your meal. Thai ice tea boba - I really liked that it has a slushy like texture, the thai tea was spot on. Boba was pretty chewy too. Spicy Salmon and Red Snapper poke bowl - The fish was hard to differentiate at first. The red snapper and salmon looked nearly identical, it took some poking around to finally figure out which was which. I wish they had a bit more gourmet options like the Poke spots in NYC, it's a bit dull when it's just lettuce, corn and crab salad. Perhaps some shiso leaves or furikake or even some lotus chips? Just some ideas out there.. Portions aren't too shabby, they give a great amount of fish. Overall, not a bad spot for lunch. read more

Decent poke for the price, though it is a bit confusing that there's a non-poke Coffee Tree cafe just a few blocks away from the yes-poke one. I definitely showed up to the wrong one first. Oops. I got the spicy salmon poke (the spicy part is the spicy mayo, FYI), and I liked it. It tasted fresh, and there was a good amount of rice and edamame and corn and seaweed, along with the fish itself. If you want a standard poke, you'll get it here. The seating is limited to a row of about 8 bar stools along the front, so it may be better to plan on doing take-out if you go during lunch hour. They also serve coffee (I'd hope so with that name) and bubble tea. I got the milk tea and it was alright, which pretty much sums up my thoughts on this place: perfectly alright. Three stars may seem like a bad thing in a sea of 4 and 5 stars, but Yelp describes it as what you'd give for a place that's "A-OK" so that's what I'm giving it. read more

-Review is solely based on the Poke- I am so happy that this place opened up near me, because now I can have Poke everyday of my life, and although this place is small, their Poke has BIG flavor. The process of ordering your Poke is nicely laid out and very easy to follow. Step 1: You get to choose from Tuna, Salmon, Red Snapper, and Unagi (eel) all of which you have the option of making spicy or keeping regular. Step 2: You get to choose how many different kinds of fish you want, maxing out at 3 and of course, the price increases by $1 with each additional fish. Step 3: Pay the nice and helpful cashier, then wait for your Poke to be prepared. The bowl that you receive your Poke in comes with white rice, regular green leaf salad, crab meat, cucumber, seaweed salad, onion, masago (tiny orange fish eggs), edamame, avocado, and corn. This makes a complete and filling meal, which is perfect for Lunch at work or school or wherever. First time I stopped by I only ordered 1 fish (spicy tuna) and was full enough to put me into a food coma. The quality of the fish and all the food that comes in your bowl tastes fresh which I love because it lets me know I wont wake up with a stomach ache the next morning. Location, food, and customer service was awesome, Im glad I decided to give this place a shot because I will definitely be making it a regular lunch spot and the next time I stop by I will make sure to try their bubble tea, coffee, and smoothies! Cant wait to be back. read more

A quick way to get your poke fix at a reasonable price. You can choose your protein as part of a poke bowl (containing an assortment of veggies - avo, seaweed salad, lettuce) with rice or only fish and no rice. Your choices of protein are tuna, salmon, red snapper, or unagi ($2 extra). The bowl is smaller than what I expected but ended up being decently filling for my friend and I, in part because the bowl came with a complimentary miso soup that day. There is an interesting sushi 'tower' that's also offered here (looks like a sushirrito). In addition to that, the café sells a variety of baked goods for breakfast to go along with your coffee.. and what's more, a selection of bubble tea as well. Store space is quite small and I can imagine the line being longer with slower service seeing there are usually only 2 staff there. Solid choice for students who pass by there or for anyone looking for a quick delicious meal. read more

Salmon poke for the win! I was pleasantly surprised with this poke place that also serves coffee. The staff was friendly. I got the salmon poke and the ingredients in it were a delicious combo and it wasn't covered in a sauce hiding the flavors. They have lots of poke combo choices, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies, bubble tea, etc. My friend got the breakfast sandwich and smoothie and enjoyed it. The place is small and has only one table and then bar seating along the window. One thing is I wished they served the poke in a bowl instead of a plastic take out container. They served my friend's sandwich on a real plate but her smoothie in a compostable cup. We both had said we were eating in. Now if only all the eat in items could be on glassware or washable dishes...then the place would be awesome! read more
