Drink menu

Was a little disappointed because I thought this place was Christmas themed and decorated all year but that wasn't the case. However! Still had a great experience as the vibe inside was still cute and the drinks and ice cream were super delicious! Highly recommend the strawberry matcha or strawberry yuzu tea

coco-matcha
Courtney Y.

Today I tried the coco-matcha and was pleasantly surprised! it's creamy and rich on the light side, and if you let it settle, it mixes well together. Nice for a summer day! I have tried their coffee before which is richer, i preferred the coco-matcha personally. the matcha is in the cold-foam, which floats atop the coconut water. The photo is about 10 minutes later, after sipping a bit. I love the toasted coconut topping, a fun surprise while sipping!

Ube Phe Latte and Strawberry Matcha
Generous Y.

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.

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. 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!

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. 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!

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.

Mango Matcha Latte, $6.50 - 4 Stars, Ube Phe Latte, $6.00 - 4.5 Stars
Eva M.

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.

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.

Egg ham cheese croissant
Selene L.

Located in the International District near Uwajimaya, this cafe has festive holiday decor. The small cafe gives cozy , warm vibes to enjoy coffee and or small bites and sweets. 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.

It's basically cultured gelato so it's perfect for people who like the texture of gelato and the creaminess of yogurt. I'm a big fan of Ellenos yogurt and wanted to check out this place as well. I went on a summer afternoon so the line was pretty long, but moved quickly so I didn't stand in line for longer than 15 minutes. There were so many interesting flavors and the staff working there said I could sample as many as I wanted before deciding. I really appreciated that as they're pretty busy but still gave me a chance to try some before choosing one I liked. I ended up selecting the Lemon Curd as it was so tart and creamy and the yogurt paired with the lemon made it taste like the yoplait key lime pie yogurt I loved as a kid. I also really liked the Mango, Marionberry, and Seattle Fog so I'll come back for those next time. Ube was highly recommended to me as well but the coconut flavor felt overpowering to me. Regular sized single scoop is called a "walk around the park". If you want two flavors, you have to pay an additional amount for a split scoop. Really enjoyed the gelato and it was the perfect summer afternoon treat!

The staff is kind and is more than happy to let you sample to your heart's desire. There is seating both inside and out. I am sure on summer evenings this place is insanely busy, but on a Monday at approximately 2PM, I didn't wait in a line at all. They had fun summer flavors such as apricot crisp, blueberry cheesecake, cherry chunk, and strawberry sorbet. I tried two different flavors, and both were delicious. Both flavors were extremely creamy, even the fruity flavored ones. I started with the strawberry sorbet. It was refreshing. The strawberry really shined through and was extremely fresh tasting. I feel like strawberry flavoring can sometimes come off as artificial, but I did not have that experience with this ice cream. The second flavor I sample, and my favorite one of the day was the honey lavender. It felt like you were walking through an organic lavender field. As always, cities have expensive ice cream, but I am just a girl, so I will get a sweet treat.

Great place for ice cream!…read more It looks like they make their ice cream here because they have a little viewing window showing them dispensing something into a container (looks like a giant tub of soft serve).
