    Ippo Sake Bowl
    Crystal H.

    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!

    Salmon Poke Bowl
    Serena W.

    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!

    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).

    I tried out this little coffee shop while waiting for my bus next door. I ordered a cappuccino -- just what I needed for a pick me up. Go check this local shop out!

    Salmon Poké Bowl & miso soup
    Brianna F.

    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!

    Temptation Bowl!! Tempting...
    Mariah N.

    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.

    Temptation Bowl

    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!

    Like most poke bowl places, offer both spicy and normal options! And are around 10.95 a pop for a basic bowl. Service was extremely kind even during busy hours. This is a close walk from harborview medical center and has some nice seating with views of the street. 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! ;)

    the outside of a coffee shop

    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.

    Salmon poke bowl with all the toppings and salad - no rice!
    Julie P.

    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!

    Amazing food and great service! I got the poke and it was super fresh. Super close to work and basically no wait. It felt perfect for my lunch break!

    Salmon poke bowl
    Samantha G.

    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.

    Spicy Salmon Bowl
    Noreen B.

    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!!!

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #118…read more Located across from Westlake Center, this is a full fledged Xing Fu Tang, complete with a bubbling black sugar boba wok and their signature fortune sticks. I especially love the menu towards the rear of the store that depicts all the drinks and whether they contain dairy or tea. Walking in on a Thursday evening right before dinner, it was surprisingly crowded inside. All the seats were taken and there was a small line waiting to order at the kiosk. Luckily the staff is efficient, and I had my drink within a couple of minutes. Taiwan Boba Milk Tea, Large, 25% Sweet, Less Ice ($8.29) - Xing Fu Tang really focuses on two things: black sugar and milk. That focus is evident in this drink, where there's a strong mineral essence from the sugar, and somehow a really strong milkiness (despite being dairy free). The tea? It's an afterthought, with only some flat malty notes to complement the rich and sugary drink. With that being said, the drink is flavorful enough that I don't mind the lack of tea quality at all. Now the sweetness level could use some adjustment - the milk tea by itself is probably good at 25% but with so much of the boba marinade added, it goes up quickly. I might even order 0% next time. In terms of ice, they have less ice as default which I would consider similar to full ice at other boba shops. At least it seems that way since they used large cubed ice in their drinks rather than more typical chipped ice. This drink comes with boba. The boba is clearly homemade, being almost the same texture throughout, and is somewhat lumpy and cuboid in shape rather than perfect spheres. It marinates in the black sugar for a long time, rendering them superbly sweet and sticky. Unfortunately they are there for perhaps too long - at least when I visited, they were near the bottom of the wok. This means the boba is entirely too soft, with a single bite slicing through the sides of the pearl without too much resistance. They also tend to clump up, forming larger conglomerates that get stuck in the boba straw. While there's still somewhat of a bounce, it's noticeably less than perfection. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 I visited again a couple of weeks later for the Oolong Milk Tea, to see if they could eek a little more tea flavor out of another kind of leaf: Heaven Roast Oolong Boba Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice ($8.29) - This tea is a bit more flavorful than the regular milk tea, with a somewhat vegetal and earthy essence that kind of reminds me of Tieguanyin. There's even a slight drying astringency. I forgot to review my notes and ordered this at 50% sweet, which is way, way too sweet for my tastes. I'm definitely going to go with 0% if I visit again. The boba is the same slightly mushy texture as the last visit. At least they are consistent between visits? Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 So overall: the tea that Xing Fu Tang serves is alright, muddled but better quality than a lot of other boba shops. The boba unfortunately is mushy, which I honestly can't say I've seen all that often. I do have to give them props for making their boba in house given how rare it is. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

I guess it's been a while since I had boba cause the average price was $7-8 without any toppings! The drink was great and tasted delicious, but the operation itself can be better.

Because it was hot and sweaty, a big sea of people were waiting both outside and inside this place, and I saw only about 5 or so staff members making all the drinks. There's only two tables and two benches to sit at on the right-hand side of the place; otherwise, the rest of the space is behind the counter where all the drinks are made and the strong aromatic aroma of tea fills the interior. From my visit here, I think you can only place orders either through their lone kiosk to the left-hand side of the entrance near a corner, or by scanning the QR code at the front of the entrance and following prompts on your phone. Staff was too busy making drinks to take orders at the front counter when I was inside. Either way, you have to use the HeyTea app to scan a QR code (on the receipt you get after placing your order) if you want to see an estimate on when your drink(s) will be ready. By the time I signed up for an account and downloaded the app using the slow 5G, my estimated time was 25 minutes; however, the wait for my triple supreme matcha latte (with extra matcha, less sugar and all other things in their recommended settings) ended up being more than 45 minutes as I walked around the perimeter and waited inside and outside this location as well. It was really chaotic trying to get my drink once it was ready; people were cutting in front of me and others to show staff their receipt and pick up their orders even though I was in front of the line. Taste wise though, the matcha is a strong ceremonial blend with grassy tones that actually caught me by surprise. That's because they have a matcha cheese cloud which I thought would have dulled the matcha taste but it didn't! There's also matcha mochi and what tasted like matcha jelly on the bottom which further strengthened the earthy tones. Probably because it was really hot as of this writing, the ice melted much fasted than usual so that's out of this place's control and therefor doesn't detract from my experience itself. Wait here was really long for just one drink but I'm thankful there's something you can use to see when your drinks are ready - in this case, their HeyTea app. I would probably only come back if I was around the area, though wait times for drinks might deter me from doing so altogether.

They were pretty busy for a weeknight and yet we didn't wait long at all. Beautiful decor, very unique, relaxing and artistic. Definitely gives quality tea absolutely crushed it on the aesthetic front 10/10 gorgeous Sadly deducting a star because I got a very long black hair in my drink and I have very short blonde hair, so it was a bit unsettling and the drinks are quite expensive, so didn't super love that!
