I've associated Jollidaze with their holiday photo ops and honestly, didn't know they were open outside of the last few months in the year. Basically, I thought they were a pop up. They sell themselves around being a holiday themed shop which isn't a bad thing, but when it's not the holiday season, the charm feels almost mismatched. All that to say, I love the idea, the space, and the vibes here but have often looked past it because of my perception with the branding. However, I will say their menu is great and the holiday joy is more of a supplement rather than a cover up or gimmick. I would comfortably visit Jollidaze for their drinks and get a working session. Wifi available, washroom (restrooms) available, and outlets available. Ube Phe Latte - rich, creamy, ube foam on top of a strong ca phe! There's also some ube milk, so a three layered drink. Both parts of ube were nutty, sweet, and paired with the ca phe amazingly. Strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk always hits but the ube mixture is a cherry on top. Up there with the other ube coffees around. Strawberry Matcha - honestly a simple no frills strawberry matcha. Smoothly whisked matcha, lightly sweetened strawberry puree, and a cup to be mixed in. Maybe more jam than other spots, which can help sweeten the drink and add some texture (chewiness), so might have to say above average. read more

My family has visited JolliDaze in the past and always enjoyed it--until today. We were greeted by an employee who was unprofessional and rude. As we entered, my daughters were excitedly yelling "Grinch." Throughout my order, the employee maintained a visibly displeased demeanor. Once I had paid, she rudely stated that "they need to keep it down because people are working." If a business does not welcome excited children, perhaps it is better suited as an adult-only space. When a child is not causing harm to themselves or others, there is no reason to ask them to be silent. It is especially important to recognize that children on the spectrum express themselves differently, and they deserve to be able to exist freely without judgment. read more

Jollidaze is a fun themed café decorated for the holidays, with decorations in every corner of the café. The menu has a nice selection of desserts, drinks, and snacks. I got a matcha affogato, which consists of a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with matcha and toasted coconut. read more

I did not know that I needed the affogato in my life! This is the 2nd one I've had in the past couple of weeks and love them! Jollidaze's affogato is made with Vietnamese coffee and condensed milk.

This spot has everything! The decor is amazing, the food and drinks were tasty and unique, and the service was spot on. I believe they are holiday themed all year long but it's fun to go in during December especially for the vibes. I would definitely come back to try more on the menu too. They have vegan and lots of dairy free options. Also several caffeine free choices (but still lots of sugar) for kids. There were tons of kiddos there too and barely anywhere to sit it was so busy on Monday afternoon. Would love to come back when it's calm and try more too. read more

I'm surprised I haven't done a review for Jollidaze yet despite coming a few times now over the course of however long they've been opened. I remember first coming here when they were supposed to be a pop-up concept by I think it was Dochi? It was first meant to be a holiday festive dessert shop during Christmas and the decor was pretty cute. I took my girlfriend here and we had a nice time. Since then, they've changed the concept into becoming more of a quaint Vietnamese cafe with a good selection of coffee and matcha options and some other bites. I think it throws me off a little though that they still decided to keep Jollidaze as the name and you can see old Christmas decor in the back, despite them trying to look more modern and aesthetically pleasing. I think it would definitely do them better in marketing if they completely finished the rebranding with a fresh new name and hiding away that old decor. Other than the visual critique, service has always been friendly since the beginning, and it's a nice place to sit down and get some work done. My most recent visit I decided to get the Vietnamese coffee with matcha foam on top. It was pretty good, but one thing I've noticed is that the coffee tasted more like it came straight from one of those instant Vietnamese coffee packets like Trung Nguyen Legend rather than the coffee having more of the distinct phin taste. There's quite a few things that can be improved, but I know they for sure have the potential to go further. Hope the team keeps pushing forward, I believe in you all! read more

Early morning in Seattle and I was in need of a caffeine fix, enter Jollidaze! My husband and I stumbled upon it while looking for open spots nearby, and it turned out to be a cozy little find. We visited in the middle of summer, so the holiday-themed decor I'd seen online wasn't in full swing. There were still some charming hanging lights, but I was hoping for a bit more festive flair. Totally understandable though- wrong season! The drinks were the highlight. I was thrilled to see pandan on the menu (a rare treat!) and it paired surprisingly well with the coffee. Plus, the green hue gave it a fun Shrek-like vibe. My husband went for the Strawberry Yuzu tea, which hit the mark for his flavor profile. The cafe was quiet and peaceful when we arrived, perfect for a slow start to the day. Overall, great drinks, good prices, and a nice atmosphere. I'd love to come back during the holidays to see it in full festive mode! read more

I have walked by Jollidaze sooooo many times but never entered. I always thought it was a shaved ice place. It turns out they changed ownership some time ago and is mostly a drinks place. Their holiday decor (i.e. jolli in their name) is hidden behind bookcases during the summertime. On this hot day, we wandered in looking for shaved ice, AC, a place to seat, and a clean bathroom. We got two out of four. No AC but had comfortable seating, a clean bathroom, and some really tasty drinks. Service was friendly. It wasn't busy, and they delivered drinks to where we were sitting. Thanks for that. The Drinks: Ube Phe Latte, $6.00 - 4.5 Stars Mango Matcha Latte, $6.50 - 4 Stars Both drinks rank similarly, but the ube latte is the clear winner. The ube and the Vietnamese coffee work super well together. Grab a spoon to scrape the ube creme off the lids and sides. Similarly, a spoon is needed to rescue the last pieces of mango puree at the bottom of the matcha latte. The drinks are 16oz, not the more common 24oz. I prefer this smaller size at a lower price for a premium drink. The overall rating is closer to 4 than 5. I like that they are a comfortable sit-down drinks place that uses good ingredients. Rounding up to 5. read more

I've walked past Jollidaze so many times in the past but have never entered due to boba being my dessert of choice. This past CID Food Walk, however, we couldn't resist visiting to try their Affogato specials. I have to commend Jollidaze on their very well run store. Unlike other eateries which were having trouble handling all the extra traffic from the event, Jollidaze came prepared. They had pieces of paper printed out with the choice of tea (Matcha or Thai Tea) and topping (coconut or corn flake), which the cashier could quickly circle with pen and hand off to the chef. Matcha Affogato ($8) - The ice cream comes very frozen, clearly from an ice cold freezer. It's almost difficult to stick the spoon into the creamy sphere, and it's so cold that it actually manages to freeze the matcha into a harder shell all around the vanilla core. The texture of the frozen matcha is very interesting. Kind of soft like pellet ice, but with a bit of additional grit from the suspended tea particles. The matcha itself isn't too sweet, is pretty grassy in taste, and still has a bit of bitterness, which really contrasts nicely against the sweet vanilla ice cream. I don't know which ice cream brand Jollidaze uses, but based on the density of the cream, it seems to be a high quality super premium selection. The corn flakes on top serve to enhance the textural contrast against the creamier ice cream, and there's also the added touch of a waffle crisp. Just a great dessert overall. (5/5) Thai Tea Affogato ($8) - This one is more uniform in texture vs the matcha since the Thai Tea doesn't freeze around the ice cream. It's a good Thai tea flavor, strong vanilla notes, sweet, just great on top of the ice cream. Flavorwise I actually prefer the Matcha, but texture-wise, the Thai tea is better (the coating from the Matcha is a bit too gritty for my liking). (5/5) I was really impressed with both affogatos. No wonder Jollidaze boasts a 4.8/5 rating. I still prefer boba as my dessert option, but I'm definitely itching to revisit this dessert shop for more. What a fantastic end to our Food Walk adventure this Fall! Bathrooms - Larger ones shared with the rest of the businesses in the building. Requires a code to enter. read more

I see this place as more of a holiday-themed area, probably because I went here the first time when it was still a Christmas-themed cafe back in 2023. This time, I went here with my sis on a Monday afternoon to try some of their drinks that I kept seeing whenever I walk by here. It was empty inside and kinda bright, and there were still some Christmas decorations on the ceiling. There's an ample number of places to sit inside. I got the ube latte, and my sis got the coco-matcha cloud. Both were really good, and neither was overly sweet. The coco-matcha ended up being my favorite because of the more balanced taste especially when mixing it. Drinks also came out fast, and service was pretty good. They also serve some food and soft serve, and I might just try those for my next visit here. read more

A very cute and nice holiday cafe to go to! This place is incredibly decorated well and gives a lot of holiday vibes. The amount of effort they did to decorate this place is amazing. There's plenty of seating for customers. A great place to bring kids too! I had their Nutella drink (non caffeine). It was okay. There was hints of Nutella but it mostly tasted like chocolate milk to me. The service was good. Servers were nice and helpful. The drink didn't take long to make. They also have foods and desserts on their menu which is cool. read more

Ube Phê Latte: Very creamy and ube-flavored. The non-coffee option is a bit too sweet, but I imagine it would be the perfect complement with the coffee. There aren't many tables available inside.

Came here around black friday and the inside was so cute, and full of christmas holiday spirit! Service was quick as well. Inside had a decent amount of space to sit and chill. I was craving vietnamese coffee and saw they had a drink called Pandan Palms. Basically it was pandan flavored creme over vietnamese coffee and it was SO good! Immediately woke me up! It had the right bittersweet that a usual vietnamese iced coffee would have. The pandan creme had a refreshing nutty, coconut, grassy flavor that paired well with the coffee. read more

Jollidaze was so adorable! Everything was Christmas decorated and there was even a little Santa's workshop around the corner. I had ordered the matcha white chocolate latte and the nutella with milk! The matcha white chocolate latte was tasty, although it sadly only come hot. As for the nutella milk, it was more disappointing in taste. Originally it's made with caffeine, so maybe that's why it doesn't taste too good. Everyone was all very kind, but especially the younger guy there! He was very attentive and helpful with the questions I had regarding the drinks. read more

A new fan gained!! If you're in need of a cold drink this summer, or is craving something sweet.. Jollidaze is the place for you! Jollidaze is newly opened, with an abundance of unique drinks + food available! Their pricing is also extremely fair. Before coming in, I expected at least $9 per cup, but to my surprise, it was only $5-7 per drink. We got the Coco matcha cloud and the mango cream dream. Both drinks were extremely refreshing and paired well with their respective flavours. They're also not too sweet, which is the ultimate Asian compliment!! Their cheese corn and tater tots dish was good, not great. But it was a nice little plate to enjoy our drinks with. The interior is spacious and their ceiling has lanterns that make you feel like you're in Vietnam. I cannot wait and come back to try their other drinks!! Maybe new coffee places opened and I genuinely think they're overhyped, but I can see Jollidaze popping up very soon.. maybe even the new Coffeeholic? :) read more

Delicious Vietnamese coffee spot! Don't let all the Christmas pictures on here deceive you -- this is fully a normal coffee shop that has a good amount of seating and fantastic lighting. Their Christmas room is tucked away behind what looks like a bookshelf, but is a secret door! I got the ube phe latte, which was fantastic. It had a super strong espresso flavor which I love, and the ube cream on top was so flavorful and perfect with a subtle ube flavor. They have good wifi, and a lovely space to work or catch up with friends at. Their food items also looked really unique and I'd have to try them next time with their many other drinks! read more

As soon as our family walked in, we were greeted rudely by an employee. Our children were excited to see the place, and instead of a warm welcome, she immediately said, "Please let them know they can't touch anything."

This place is adorable! What a fun idea for a Christmas pop-up. Located in China town near Uwajimaya, it's in prime location easy to access. You could easily have a nice hot pot or ramen lunch and come here for dessert after. The entire interior is decked out in holiday decor from top to bottom. They have fun photo opportunities and displays for kids to explore and enjoy. We did the themed sundaes they had and they were enormous!!! The one with chocolate and red velvet cake was extra chocolatey - I def recommend. The staff was so kind, brought our treats to our table and bussed it for us afterwards. Super fun little holiday activity, I hope it is around next year! read more

Went to Jollidaze twice! The first time was after Christmas, and it was a beautiful place. I think someone told me they had some IG pre-launch and one of the kids was shown decorating/announcing the place? Regardless, it was a great place to go to during the holidays. A few of the friends ordered the affogatos with Vietnamese coffee which tasted really good. The second time I went was during the Lunar New Year Food Walk. The theme was lunar new years and had paper lanterns everywhere instead of the holiday theme. Friend ordered the ube ice cream sundae and it was really good. Had the ube flavor and it wasn't too sweet. read more

Yippee ki-yay, mother-f'ers! Okay, so Christmas passed, but that doesn't mean the spirit must go on with it. I learned there was a Christmas dessert pop-up in the Chinatown-International District neighborhood, and if I'm anything, I'm a sucker for themes. Jollidaze is a Christmas-themed, pop-up dessert shop that serves Snoquamie Ice Cream sweets, drinks and two soups. What was once Milkie Milkie, Jollidaze has taken over and has decked out the shop in red, green and some pinks and pastels. We walked in and I was charmed by the welcoming setting and friendly staff. You order at the counter and depending on your order, you're given a buzzer for when your item is ready. I saw there was an ube sundae, so of course, had to try it. I love ube everything and if you do, too, then you should get this sundae, which includes scoops of ube ice cream, has ube cake pieces and ube wafer sticks, with an ube drizzle and whipped cream. Yes, you should share this because it's huge. (But no judgment if you want this all to yourself.) You can sample the ice cream before settling on a flavor. In addition to ice cream, there were drinks, including espresso, which they can make an affogato and for something more savory, they offer tomato soup or clam chowder. Oh, and they make cotton candy here and have cookies. Yeah, desserts galore. The ambiance is my favorite part of this whole place. I loved that they were playing Home Alone when we visited, making you wanna hang out at the place and quote Kevin. They've done a wonderful job decking the eatery out for Christmas, including the fake snow that's in the back room where the restrooms are located, as soap suds come out with Mariah Carey blasting in the background. Hope this pop-up gets to continue on, be it Christmas or other seasonal themes. I'm down either way. read more

Great place to get Vietnamese coffee. Nice decor and friendly staff. The coffee was very good not too sweet. However, the foam/cream was a little too thick for my liking as it didn't diffuse too well with the coffee but enough to get a good amount of flavor in the drink, I really enjoyed the pandan coffee that I got. Overall, I would come back. read more

Well first-off, I love the Holidays and during December it is a sight to be seen. The decorations are amazing and remind me of a restaurant I love in NY and their decorations. Secondly, this is a fantastic place, located in the heart of the International District. The service is not very interactive, but they are welcoming and fast. After getting your beverage OR food, you have a wonderful area to sit and read, work, study, write or just people watch and think. read more

I've been here a few times now and I really love both the drinks and the environment of the cafe. The first time I tried the mango cream dream and it was so good! I'm a huge sucker for mango but this was so creaming yet refreshing (kind of tasted like a melted mango sago!). I've also tried the coconut matcha cloud and this was such an interesting combination but worked really well. The top is matcha foam with coconut water on the bottom. The last drink I've tried is the strawberry lychee drink which was so so refreshing! I also love how they use nugget ice here. I really like studying here as there are outlets and the music is great. read more
