    Grean Matcha transformed at 2pm into Elixir Dessert & Cocktails. Both businesses are located in the former Oasis Tea Zone site. Lois Ko of Sweet Alchemy has added these new indie spots in Seattle's University District. It is located across Tea Republik and adjacent to Ancient Gate Coffee on The Ave - University Way. It sure had an upbeat vibe during my one hour visit during their soft opening stage (1/23/26). Lively music, variety of seating and furnishings, healthy foliage, lots of natural light and eye catching fixtures. There's also an upper level for more seating. I was craving a cortado or mocha, but no espresso machine. I ended with a a small French press coffee w/ cream and sugar. There's also tea, cocktails, and other NA beverages. I was also brought water and a glass with some ice. Since there was no charcuterie plate available during this visit, I opted with a kimchi mac & cheese. So many indie cafes and milk tea spots concentrated on The Ave. Recent new businesses offer variety and upgraded third spaces for the UW college crowd. One less collective star for crumbs scattered all over the mini tables around me, not very assertive coffee, recommend sugar packets to reduce waste, and warmer entree (both thermally and amp up the kimchi flavor profile). I did tidy up where I sat, and thankful that I managed to place items into the bus tubs without incident. Nice addition to the constant evolution of The Ave!

    Very cool new spot on the Ave! I was amazed by how spacious this was! Lot's of space to sit and study or work or just meet up with friends. There's an upstairs and downstairs area. I like the long table in the center in the downstairs area. Sliders were my favorite and I was excited to have the makgeolli from Rain City. They were quick and friendly with their service. I do wish it was a bit less loud with the music. This may change over time though, I'm guessing. I really it's a very cool chill space for the evening!

    Been wanting to come here for the longest ! We went during Sakura season ! Everything on the menu sounded incredible unfortunately we weren't in the mood for food but instead we got matcha ! The jasmine tea was good I feel like it could be a little sweeter but overall it was really refreshing and it was new ! The strawberry matcha was good . For some reason we tasted more milk than matcha. Overall it's a really beautiful place and you should definitely check out their cocktails and desserts !

    The space is huge great for studying, book club, grabbing coffee with a friend. I got the olive oil cake it was amazing... but don't get the earl grey matcha shortbread lavender treat. The name has all the right things but the taste was just so underwhelming and honestly gross (it has cucumber drizzle on it??) Just not yummy. Service was great and super quick. I want to go back to try the kimchi mac & cheese.

    Strawberry matcha was ok, wish it had stronger matcha flavor.

    What a fun and friendly place. Very welcoming. Fun snacks made in the air fryer in the back room…read more Excellent cocktails with amusing names. Go on the early side as it is quite popular and seating is limited.

We walked in as a party of 2 on a Thursday around 9pm and it was not too busy - probably half the bar was occupied. We opted to sit at one end of the bar because the bar seats are where the vibes are at. The place is decorated in a fairly elegant and old school manner, so you are somewhat transported away from the outside reality. We got the Tobe's Thique Mint and Garden Party. I loved the creaminess and cinnamon afternotes of Tobe's Thique Mint, and it also looks somewhat pretty. It is quite a heavy drink, so one was enough to fill me up. The Garden Party was a bit of a miss since as much as I tasted the orange and grapefruit, it was a very light drink and tasted a little watered down. The biggest plus is that the drinks are fairly affordable compared to the greater Seattle area, priced at $14. I liked how their menu says 14 for $14, as they have just 14 cocktails to choose from and the drinks seem to rotate seasonally. For us, we went just in time to still have the spring menu, but they will change to the summer menu on June 20.

    Our party of 3 had the pleasure of visiting the Mountaineering Club tonight to celebrate my 1 week…read moreof recovery from a bilateral mastectomy as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis. It was important for us to get out of the house, watch the sunset, and a have lil' cocktail to supplement my pain meds. Jesse and Devon (sp?) we SO amazing. I said to my sister (who is visiting from Alabama) from the start after meeting Devin "oooh girl, I love their energy". Because they are the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Jesse was SO attentive to us. The views were fabulous but the company of Jesse and Devon were top-notch. Charlotte? Was also fabulous. As a manager myself - I'd be SO incredibly proud to have these three on my team. Thank you so much, I needed this after a very challenging week.

Took almost an hour to get seated, but we were able to grab some drinks from the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel, which was a nice option. Once we got upstairs it was gorgeous! Lots of great seating options both inside and out. The views of downtown Seattle and Bellevue were EPIC. The staff were very friendly as well! I have to say, for the price the food and drinks weren't at the level I expected. We ordered nachos, crab Rangoon dip, and pretzel bites. The nachos were probably our favorite, but they weren't anything special for $22. The Rangoon dip was mostly cream cheese and barely had any flavor. I think they were depending on the nori chips to bridge the gap, but those didn't taste the greatest. Finally the pretzel bites were okay, but nothing I couldn't get at another gastropub for a much lower price. The drinks were fine, but not that strong. I ordered the Glacier Peak which was beautiful and refreshing. We'll be back for the views and maybe a couple of cocktails, but I'd say if you're bar hopping, spend money on food somewhere else in the area.
