    Matcha Affogato
    Sharon L.

    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.

    Vietnamese Coffee Affogato

    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. I get my caffeine fix & dessert at the same time - score! The serving is huge and can be shared.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I took my girlfriend here and we had a nice time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Pandan Palms and Strawberry Yuzu tea
    Brittany H.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cafe was quiet and peaceful when we arrived, perfect for a slow start to the day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their holiday decor (i.e. jolli in their name) is hidden behind bookcases during the summertime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    This spot has everything! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is amazing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the food and drinks were tasty and unique, and the service was spot on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I believe they are holiday themed all year long but it's fun to go in during December especially for the vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were tons of kiddos there too and barely anywhere to sit it was so busy on Monday afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would love to come back when it's calm and try more too.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms - Larger ones shared with the rest of the businesses in the building. Requires a code to enter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Egg ham cheese croissant
    Selene L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located in the International District near Uwajimaya, this cafe has festive holiday decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The small cafe gives cozy , warm vibes to enjoy coffee and or small bites and sweets[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. There are multiple Vietnamese inspires drinks to choose from which I didn't get today ,but is eager to try one another day. The savory ham cheese croissant was made fresh and had a nice hint of sweetness. Staff were friendly as well.

    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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was empty inside and kinda bright, and there were still some Christmas decorations on the ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's an ample number of places to sit inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Came here as a recommendation from a Seattleite. As a Viet person, I love the different renditions of a typical Viet Iced Coffee. We decided on getting the Muoi Muoi here and really enjoyed it! If you like a viet Iced coffee with a salty cream top, you should get this.

    I came back for the Tamago sando and it was delicious! Perfect amount of filling & mayo, the bread was sooo soft and not soggy which I was nervous about since it was in a box. Service was great and quick, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is nice and the seating area is clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating for customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great place to bring kids too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.
