What a great addition to the library! I had heard about this small cafe inside of the Seattle Public Library and was finally able to check them out on a recent Saturday. I opted for the Strawberry Matcha ($8.50), which was really tasty! I'd say one of the top 5 strawberry matchas I've had in the Seattle area, and I've had quite a few! I just wish they had boba or other toppings, but I realize that adds an added complexity. Staff was really friendly -- I believe this is a residency but hope it continues, as it makes coming to the library even more fun :) read more

Pistachio flavor is so good and matcha is nice and smooth. Also, the cream top tasted more unique than I expected, almost like a more custard flavor than typical plain cream tops, so not sure if it has some sort of flavor but the menu didn't specify. It's inside the library, though it's actually quite a large stand and they have a few tables to sit down at. Workers were very quick and friendly. Definitely coming back to try their Earl Grey matcha read more

When planning on where to get my caffeine fix while in Seattle, I saw multiple people describe Howdy Yall Coffee as the best matcha here. So I decided to give it a try! The cafe popup is located in the Central Library downtown. Perfect location if you work in the area or if you're visiting and want to walk up from Pike's Place or the art museum. The duo making the drinks were very nice! I got an iced matcha latte, and it was ready quite fast. The matcha color was gorgeous, but I felt the latte tasted more like milk than matcha. It was still good but not as yummy as the other matchas I had while here. read more

When I found out that there was a matcha place inside the library I knew I had to come. The inside area of the library is so pretty, and there's plenty of seating around on the second floor where Howdy Yall is located. The library opens at 10am on weekdays which made it a bit hard to come before work. I got a maple sea salt matcha. The matcha itself was really good, but I do wish there was a bit more maple flavor. The service was great and I got my drink really quick. If I was in the area I'd definitely try to come back. read more

I've been meaning to try Howdy Y'all ever since they went from a pop-up cart to a permanent location in the Seattle Public Library. I originally wanted a matcha, but the barista talked me into getting the iced double hojicha latte with oat milk, which was a great recommendation. It's definitely one of the better hojicha drinks I've had. The roasted, nutty flavor came through really well, and the oat milk complemented it perfectly. The hojicha cream added a nice richness without making the drink overly sweet. The baristas were super friendly and personable, which I really appreciated. There's seating at the café, plus plenty more throughout the library, making it a great place to grab a drink and spend a few hours reading or getting some work done. I'd definitely come back! read more

Very convenient location in the downtown public library. The service was friendly and fast. They have tables right there or lots around the library. We got the early grey matcha, one with cream top one without. I wish I had gotten the pistachio matcha instead, the syrup wasn't my favorite and a bit too sweet. I didn't love the matcha they use, it was a chalky. I would come again while studying to try there other drinks, I've also heard their coffee is good. read more

Move over Phe! You have some hidden competition with your matcha when it comes to this place. My friend and I decided to go on an unplanned matcha run and it took us here when he said he found this place on TikTok. This is on the 3rd floor of Central Library in downtown Seattle, though you can also get directly here using the entrance on 5th Ave; regardless, try to get here via public transportation if at all possible. There's not really an interior here, since the whole library itself is the interior: crowded because it's matcha but oddly quiet and mellow because it's a library setting. The only visible menu is up at the counter and servers take your order there. My friend and I got the earl grey matcha with oat milk, and oh boy this gives places like Phe a run for their money! The matcha here is earthy and floral, and the taste distinction between the matcha itself and milk is perfectly clear. The matcha's not muddled by the milk one bit, and I could have probably gotten a second one if I was crazy. They also don't charge extra for milk substitution so that was also a huge plus for me, and anyone who may be slightly lactose intolerant. This place got relatively busy throughout our stay here though it still feels there needs to be more advertising done. For matcha lovers I wouldn't pass up on this place where you can get awesome matcha AND visit one of Seattle's most architecturally pleasing libraries in the process. read more

Tried the earl gray matcha from another really popular matcha cafe not too far away and was informed that Howdy Yall also has an earl gray matcha so I obviously had to come and do my own independent research to see what was up. Howdy Yall's earl gray matcha exceeded my expectations considering it's a small lil spot located in the central library that doesn't seem to be as matcha centric as the other place! The matcha was very rich and nutty with a subtle but not too subtle flavor of earl gray. I loved it and would highly recommend! The barista recommended I get the maple cream top but I find that cream tops make my drink too thick and creamy so getting a lite serving of it was the perfect solution. So good! read more

I am so happy Howdy Y'all finally has a permanent location and inside one of the coolest libraries too. They are so consistent with their quality and have some amazing drinks. My personal favorite go-tos are the classic iced matcha (sometimes adding a cream top when I want a little something special - and it is SO YUMMY) and the maple sea salt latte. I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from them. The owners are also just such amazing humans which keeps me coming back!

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.

The service was a bit slow despite only one person ahead of me, and the shop could've been cleaner. My drink (banana matcha) looked nothing like the photo, which was a little bit of a let down. It tasted okay, but the banana flavor was pretty artificial, almost like banana runts candy? Honestly, the quality and drink experience would make more sense to as an addition to a 7-11 coffee station. Or a grab-n-go, pre-bottled matcha sold out convenience store refrigerators. But the biscoff cheesecake cups? BOMB. I'd return just for that and maybe try a different drink.

This little shop is small and quaint, only open on weekdays until 4pm but convenient for office workers in the financial district.

I'll definitely come back and try other beverages to come support.

I am relatively new to the matcha game, so I cannot comment on the quality of the matcha. To me, it was lovely. I enjoyed their syrup flavor selection. They were offering a melon matcha which wasn't really up my alley, but I appreciate the creativity. I thought melon was a fruit that was bigger in the winter, but then I think about it, and watermelon is big in the summer. I guess when they said melon, I assumed cantaloupe or honeydew, initially, but who is to say. I forgot I'm in a big city again with the prices, but hey that's the cost of living in a big city. There was a nice restroom (w/ 4 stalls) for customers. I hate when places don't have restrooms or they have tiny 1 stall restrooms. There is lots of seating or working or catching up with friends. It has medium noise level, which I think is perfect for a coffee shop. The staff was friendly, and they made my drink quickly. It is close to Pikes Place, but far enough that there aren't as many crowds.

Windows here let in a ton of natural light, and you can do your laptop work here since it isn't overly noisy besides the mainstream music popping in the background. Staff were very helpful and kind, and gave me some recommendations on what to get here, most notably their matcha drinks. I decided on the peach matcha for this visit. The matcha quality was only okay at best, and it was overly sweetened in general like vanilla. Presentation though was on point though with the whip cream on top of the drink similar to an einspanner one of my friends got before here, and I loved seeing that layer of peach below, even though it was tough to stir even with their straws. Drink is quite big for the $9 price tag compared to other recent places around the area, so you're getting a lot more here! I just probably had a one-off experience with the matcha, so I'll come back to try their coffee instead.

The coffee itself was excellent. They offer quality beans and clearly put care into their pour-overs, resulting in a clean, flavorful cup that highlights the character of each coffee.

Today, Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood reminds me a bit of Berkeley with its diverse, inclusive neighborhood vibe with tons of coffee shops throughout.

The vibes are definitely Chinese-inspired, and their signature drinks are matcha-based or of the sweeter types. I am a coffee purist so I always go for the Americano. They serve a pretty bold and smooth Americano, which I like. For snacks, they have a honey-glazed, BBQ pork bun which is typical at dim sum restaurants and Chinese bakeries, but almost unheard of in a coffee shop.
