Look at that green color- it's divine, TRULY!!! I wanted to check this place out a few weeks ago because I wanted to try a new cafe and it certainly didn't disappoint. The people who work there are down to earth, really refreshing considering the influx of cafes that opened this past year that exude exclusive snob behavior- apologies for language. Anywho, they had flavors you certainly wouldn't find in your average third wave cafe which I have yet to try. I just wanted a simple matcha latte, and they delivered for sure. While there is Dote a few blocks down, I think people would also like Diwan and their unique selection. Oh, and I don't know what the fragrance is in the shop, it is noticeable but I found it pleasant! I'm not sure if it's a specific herb or spice, but it's almost... minty? Man, I don't know how to describe it but it's again very pleasant. Lastly, it seems like a nice place to study and do work. It's peaceful, with the workers chatting and music playing, it's cozy! I like it! I haven't had the need to do work at a cafe but I think this place would be a good option if you want a new study spot and happen to be in the area. Parking is a little iffy? As you can see in the pic I parked on the side of the road but sometimes the streets will be taken up which leaves you to park in the parking garage right next to the cafe, which unfortunately charges for parking past 15 minutes. If you don't mind paying, or think you can make it back to your car on time, then it's not that big of a deal. Either way, you could probably find another street to park on and walk to the cafe as this district is pretty walkable. Overall, love it!!! I hope the owner and workers continue to thrive with this business, this is certainly a refreshing addition to the coffee scene in the greater Seattle area. read more

Good specialty lattes! I really enjoy the Ward latte (strong pistachio flavor). Also tried Baklawa (cardamom) and one other one (orange and dark chocolate). All the different flavors are well paired and unique from other coffee shops. Selection of pastries is ok - not a big breakfast place. Not a huge space, so I wouldn't prefer to hang out for too long, just grab and go. If you really want, maybe 1:1 but definitely not a big group nor is a good spot to work from. Few spots of street parking, but there's a free parking lot you can park in instead. read more

Parking in the Spring District can be tough. Server seemed very nice, took our order for a Spanish Latte (sweetened condensed milk) and hot chocolate, and called out each drink as they were very slowly made (rather than having both drinks served together). Neither drink was hot; neither was strong. The latte wasn't milky or sweet, but the coffee was ok. The hot chocolate tasted like a powdered drink mix you can get at a grocery store. The cups are great - the textured outside is easy to grip. The room is cozy looking and I like the decor. But the seats aren't very comfortable. The room didn't seem heavily perfumed when I walked in, but the scent became overwhelming after I'd been sitting for a few minutes. This might have been due to the arrival of a customer, so I don't blame the business but it marred my experience. read more

We've seen this new coffee shop and wanted to stop in to try their unique coffee flavors. We looked over their menu and decided on two popular drinks: Knafa Latte and Pistachio Rose White Mocha Latte, we also ordered two Zaatar croissants (we wanted to try other items on the menu but they were out of stock. Service was on the slower side, I think that's a combination of being a newer shop with newer staff. However, the employees were extremely helpful and friendly. Our drinks were great, the rose syrup in both drinks was slightly overpowering but overall the drinks were good. I feel that for the pistachio latte - a pistachio cold foam would elevate the flavor as pistachio was minimal and same with the knafa latte - a cheese cold foam would elevate the flavors giving a full knafa taste. The croissant was an actual croissant cut in half, topped with Zaatar and filled with Zaatar, arugula, tomato and cucumbers... it was ok. Seating inside is plentiful despite the fact that the coffee shop looks smaller and the decor gives Arabia vibes. Overall, nice new coffee shop and I'd be back to try other items once they have them in stock. read more

Such a delicious, cozy, and beautiful coffee shop! From the moment we stepped in, the staff were so welcoming and engaging. We throughly enjoyed their recommendations on what to order. We had three different lattes: vanilla, knafeh, and Baklawa. Ordered two pastries: knafeh and the gluten free chocolate cake. There are so many more things I want to try and will be back again. The only thing that you need to prepare yourself for is parking. Many of the garages around the area had "parking garage full" signs. We were able to find parking but it took some searching. Well worth the scavenger hunt. read more

My friends and I are visiting from California and we were craving some caffeine and pastries. We found this spot on TikTok and it did not disappoint!! Everything was 12/10, from the drinks and pastries to the kind and helpful owners and staff. There is plenty of comfy seating, making this place perfect for studying, playing games, or just chatting. I highly recommend the knafeh (sweet and crispy pastry) or falafel pastry (will satisfy your middle eastern food cravings). The ambiance and seating is so colorful and cozy, and I would definitely come back if I was in the area again. read more

This unique cafe tucked away in the back of Bellevue, family owned. This gem offered unique coffee flavors you can't find elsewhere and surprisingly being timid of spices, it complimented the coffee perfectly, and wasn't too sweet either, and balanced to perfection. They offer a variety of food options and for pistachio lovers, this would be a great option for you. read more

Highly recommend this family-owned Palestinian cafe! The Yemeni coffee they use is strong & the flavors all work well together. The matcha is dark & you can tell it's great quality. The pistachio croissant had pistachio cream inside & on top; it was the perfect sweetness level :) They also had homemade cookies from a local baker (not pictured but also so good!). Inside is very cozy & cutely decorated with Palestinian decor. The service was quick & the baristas are all so friendly and welcoming. There is on street parking all around it but there is also a parking garage right next door for convenience (not free). read more

Last month I went to this coffee shop and ordered Turkish coffee. It was good, and the size of the pot was around 8 oz. Today we went back and ordered the same thing. First, it took more than 15 minutes to prepare the coffee in hot sand. Ironically, we also ordered a warm pastry, and they brought the pastry about 10 minutes before the coffee. What's the point of a warm pastry without coffee? It just sat there getting cold. That part was annoying, but I could overlook it. What really bothered me, and honestly disgusted me, was the coffee size. The pot we received today was literally about half the size, at most around 5 oz. It felt like they quietly reduced the portion while charging the same price. Even that might have been understandable with rising prices, but then we noticed the table next to us had the same Turkish coffee pot in the larger size, just like we received last month. That's when it became unacceptable. Either they didn't have the proper pot for our order and still charged full price, or they were inconsistent and unfair between customers. Both situations feel dishonest. This kind of misleading and inconsistent service is extremely disappointing. I left feeling frustrated and disgusted, and I will not be going back. read more

Just off the bat, any places in this area are meant only for those close by and walking. I think we spent 30-40 mins finding parking because there very few spots. How do we know in advance, we would've never come here! The actual place was OK but not amazing. The coffee was ok but the food was disappointing since we had to ask to reheat it a few times. I think if we didn't come in frustrated after 45 minutes of chaos it might've made overall the experience better. read more

Pro: the drinks are delicious, service is friendly, the shop is comfortable to be at. Con: (PLEASE FIX) I saw the barista not wash the blender after they prepared my drink and was sitting there for...a good while. I had the drink and well, my stomach didn't seem to enjoy the drink as much as my tongue, if you know what I mean. I feel bad writing a not so nice review for a small business, but I think it is crucial for a cafe to maintain food safety. read more

Service was relaxed and the baristas seemed genuinely kind and friendly. It felt like a neighborhood gathering place, with customers coming in for a treat and a chat, not grabbing coffee and running for the sake of caffeine. There is a nice counter facing the windows to the sidewalk, perfect for me to pull out my laptop and get work done. I absolutely loved it and will be coming back to try more on the menu. read more

Parking ended up being a bit of a walk, which had me second-guessing the decision at first--but I'm glad I stuck with it. The moment I walked in, the space felt thoughtfully designed. The flow of the café is one of the best I've experienced--open, comfortable, and easy to navigate. As soon as the door opened, the barista greeted me right away. The counter is positioned close enough that you don't feel awkward hovering like in some cafés where the bar feels miles away. It immediately felt welcoming. I visited on a weekend during a slower period, but since the café sits right next to a college, I can imagine the line spilling out the door during peak hours. At quieter times though, the layout works well--there's enough space for a couple people to wait without crowding the entrance. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. The croissant came warmed, and the texture was spot on: fluffy, layered, and not overly greasy. The almond filling had a really nice balance--nutty with just enough sweetness and a hint of salt to round it out. I was told the pastries are made in-house, and it definitely shows. It tasted like something made with care. The cortado itself was solid--pretty classic, nothing overly fancy. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was that it came with sparkling water, which was great for cleansing the palate. The space itself is fairly spacious and works well if you want a quiet moment to sip your coffee. That said, most of the seating is high stools, so it doesn't really feel like the type of place to settle in and study for hours. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food. The one thing that caught me off guard was the price of the croissant at $6.50. It tasted great and I understand prices in this area tend to run higher, especially for house-made pastries--but it's a bit outside what I'd usually spend. So while I definitely think it's good, it might not become a regular stop for me simply due to location and budget. Still, a great find and a pleasant surprise during a routine coffee run.

Both had strong coffee flavor and leaned a bit bitter, but still good. The strawberry croffle was delicious, and the ham and cheese piadina was solid. Service was quick. Parking is a bit annoying with mostly street options. Overall, a good spot to try something different, but not quite a go to for me.

I recently stopped by Cafe Joy and tried their mango matcha, and it was honestly such a pleasant…read moresurprise. The drink leaned more toward a matcha mango milk tea, which I loved. had that creamy, smooth matcha base with a subtle sweetness from the mango. What really stood out were the small chunks of real mango in the drink. They had a soft, almost jelly-like texture but were actually fresh fruit, which made it feel more refreshing and less artificial compared to typical fruit add-ins. It added a nice burst of flavor and texture in every sip.

Still just as good. And yes, still need $10 boba…read more I got a sample of their tea and it's so good. Reminder to try one of their fruit teas next time!

Chicha truly deserves all its flowers as one of if not the best boba spot in Seattle. I've tried…read moreseveral of their drinks everything from classic milk teas, fruity drinks, and seasonal options and this place is just consistently so good. Tea quality is always top notch and even when there's a massive line, they manager to churn out their drinks within 15 - 20 minutes. My quick tip is if you see a large line in the mall, just order online and swing by 10 - 15 minutes. If you're not sure what to order, grab an oolong or black tea with cream. If you're looking for something without caffeine, the Organic Milk w/ Taro Ball and Paste is absolutely delicious with earthy taro flavor and the toppings were still warm with the cold milk. Seasonal Pineapple Snowy is also literally a Taiwanese pineapple cake in drink form. How did they get crunchies into the drink? Honestly, you can't really go wrong here and when I am craving boba, this is just ol' reliable.

I want to preface this by saying my five star rating is for one drink: Strawberry Hojicha. And it…read moreis, by far, my favorite hojicha in Bellevue. There are 3 cafes I go to on the regular for my hojicha fix: Magic Matcha, Tendon Kohaku, and Bobae in Kirkland. While I enjoy all three, Magic Matcha is my favorite. The roasted tea flavor is strong, they allow me to adjust the sweetness level, and the flavor of the drink is always consistent. I've had issues with Tendon and Bobae either changing up the brand or the roast or adding too much milk on any given day. One of my gfs loves their horchata hojicha so there's that. I tasted it and it was objectively good. I wouldn't get it only because I'm not a huge fan of cinnamon, but if I were, it would be another go-to drink.

Realistically, my review is a high 3 stars, like a 3.7-3.9, and is mostly weighed down by the fact…read morethat the matcha latte was meh. Not awful, not I'll-never-drink-again-bad, but meh. I've been here twice, once a few years ago with my cousins, and another three days ago. The people working were attentive and quick with their service. The ambiance of the place is cute, a lot of pink and green, very instagram-worthy, and I saw a few people with friends or working on their laptop so it seems like a great place vibe-wise. To expand on my matcha critique, I found the color to be a little on the green-yellow side, which isn't the end all- be all quality indicator for matcha, but I find matcha lattes that are more rich in color tend to taste better and this tasted like a matcha drink I could make with costco matcha. I've made some decent lattes with costco matcha but once I switched to the more higher quality ones, well, it sorta refined my tastes. There isn't a lot of parking, and to be fair, a lot of people who are in downtown Bellevue are parked elsewhere else and likely just meander their way to the cafe. However, if you're coming in by car, I'd suggest parking by the apartments nearby, DO NOT park at the Chase Bank lot, even if the bank itself is closed (learned my lesson...). Overall, a 3.7-3.9. Could be better. Maybe with other additives like cold foam or strawberries, the drink is better, but I'm judging based off the basic latte.
