Another spot I found through social media and it held up to what I'd seen online. Le Grey has a modern, clean interior that makes for a nice, simple vibe. We ordered the Matcha Makio, which seems to be one of their signature and most popular drinks. It was smooth, well-balanced, and just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. We also tried the guava lemonade which leans on the sweeter side, but the guava flavor really stands out, which I enjoyed. We went on a Saturday around noon and there was no wait, and the drinks came out quickly. Seating is pretty limited though, so we ended up waiting outside for a bit. It's not really a place to sit and study, but perfect if you're looking for a quick matcha fix. read more

Such a sweet tea shop. Great counter service. Beautiful interior, clean lines without feeling cold. Had the Hojicha oolong. Just lightly sweet perfect. Salted cream was nice. Would def go again to try more teas. read more

The drink was fine, but wasn't what I was expecting. This spot has gotten super popular over social media recently and amongst the many matcha spots in the area it seemed to be getting a lot of attention and love. The inside is very pretty but there really isn't a whole lot of seating and definitely is not a place to work at. I got the oat matcha cloudo which had jasmine tea and a sea salt cream top. The drink itself was fine, but it really only tasted like jasmine tea despite it defined as a matcha drink. I do like jasmine tea a lot so I didn't mind it, but again I was expecting more matcha. I have tried a bit of the hojicha oolong drink which I do think tasted more like hojicha, so maybe get that one instead. read more

Newer, clean, and minimalist tea spot. That's the emphasis though, the tea is the centerpiece of the shop yet fell a bit short. I'd say it's a bit overhyped, partly because they teased on social media for quite a while. Overall a fair spot mixed in with all the other solid tea around Chinatown, but doesn't particularly stand out. Our drinks were watery and had a fainter taste. I'd be interested in trying their boba and seeing if this experience was a one-off. Friendly service though! Not really meant for sit down, as they have a waiting area that also acts as a seating area, but no tables. Le Grey Green Tea w/ Sea Salt Cream - while the description says light green tea, I really didn't expect it to be almost water. Before the cream is mixed in, the tea tastes like leaves were dipped and removed. Either that or they put way too much water. Even after mixing the cream, the tea flavor was difficult to comprehend, but the drink was creamier at least. Overall, would skip this despite having the store name and being their specialty drink. Matcha Cloudo Oat - this met my expectations of a green tea because it's a jasmine tea base. This drink had a nice floral aroma, but matcha felt a bit buzzwordy because it's trendy. The dark green layering on the cup was promising, but there was no umami taste or grassy undertones. Matcha is a special green tea and honestly performs better by itself rather than with green tea. It's a good tea but expecting matcha may lead to disappointment. read more

Le Grey - Le Grey Green Tea w/ Sea Salt Cream and Matcha Cloudo Oat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I ordered a matcha cloudo with signature sweetness & less ice, it was a 10/10! The jasmine tea and sea salt foam is a great combo with the matcha I will definitely be back for this drink! Prices are pretty fair compared to how much matcha costs now (~$8) and the only size for matcha is 16oz. I also saw they had an oat milk version of the matcha drinks for the same price, which is perfect for those who are non dairy! Service, decor and ambiance here is amazing. The seating is very cute too but limited and there are no tables. read more

Modern and trendy grab and go place. Matcha cloudo - 5/5 Jasmine green tea + matcha + milk + sea salt cream. This was IMPECCABLE, DELICIOUS, and EXQUISITE. I could drink one every day. I got signature (regular) sweetness and it was perfect! Their drinks are already not too sweet to begin with. The matcha and jasmine green tea was well balanced. The jasmine green tea is stronger and the sea salt cream was tasty! If you like Molly Tea-- GO HERE read more

The interior is really cute and there is some seating area, so I would say it's a small area to talk but not a place to work. The service was quick and simple - similar to HeyTea and other boba shop. I recommend the matcha cloud . It does taste more of jasmine than matcha but it does remind me closer read more

Le Grey - Matcha cloudo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Le Grey is a new addition to the Matcha/tea scene in the International District/Chinatown. I think the ambiance inside is very sleek and instrial. There's no tables but there is some seating. There's a wide variety of drinks but I would consider this place more of a matcha spot than a boba spot if you're looking for other types of drinks. It is in chinatown so you're gonna have to fight for parking. Compared to the other options it definitely is on the pricier side, this drink cost me about $9. I would come again if I was really craving it or if a friend asked me to go. Staff: Really Nice (5/5) Sanitation: Really Clean (5/5) Hojicha Oolong w/cream top (4/5) The Hojicha flavor came throuh quite nicely, especially when you mixed it in with the cream top. The cream top was a salted one which I feel like you can never go wrong. I did taste some tea flavor but it wasn't super strong in the drink because I felt like it got overpowered by the hojicha. It was a relatively creamy and easy to drink. I would definitely order it again but would want to try other options first. read more

Le Grey - Hojicha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Le Grey is a beautifully put together tea shop that really stands out with its clean, minimal aesthetic. The space feels modern and calming, with subtle design details that make it feel upscale without being overdone. It's definitely a spot that matches the vibe of its drinks. Their menu covers a solid range matcha, milk teas, boba, fresh teas, smoothies, and fruit teas so there's something for everyone whether you're into classic flavors or something a little more unique. Service was top notch. The cashier was friendly, welcoming, and clearly knew the menu well, which made ordering easy. It's always a good sign when staff can confidently guide you instead of just taking orders. For drinks, I tried the Strawberry Kinu, and it was easily one of the best smoothies I've had super smooth, refreshing, and well-balanced. My wife got the Hojicha Oolong, and she loved it. Presentation wise, her drink looked amazing and honestly matched Le Grey's aesthetic perfectly. Overall, Le Grey nails the experience from the vibe to the drinks to the service. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a high quality tea or smoothie. read more

Cloudo matcha is smooth, strong jasmine tea flavor. I got less sweet which I prefer, their normal drinks don't seem to sweet to begin. Hochicha is nutty and flavorful. My friends really loved their strawberry smoothie. No tables, so a grab and go situation for your drinks. There is also lack of ventilation in here, so when its crowded and rainy, it feels muggy and humid, and when it's hot outside, its even hotter inside. Not an ideal waiting situation, I find myself needing to step outside for fresh air each time I'm here. Interior is cute though. Well-rounded drinks with options for those who are looking for caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. Paid street parking only, which can be hard to find. About a 5 minute walk from the link station. I would come back, but it's not something I'd be willing to wait over 20 minutes for. read more

This place lived up to the hype!!!!! Matcha cloudo: I didn't get this one, but my friends did and it's SOOO GOOD. The jasmine tea and the matcha goes so well together Matcha island: I got this one and it's good! I wish there was more coconut flavor though Hojicha: my least fave, but it's because I prefer matcha over hojicha! read more

Nice new boba spot to try! I had their mango smoothie and it was good! I had cheese cream which I loved with the mango smoothie. Don't shake the drink, just swirl it before drinking! The ambiance was great! Very clean and organized and I loved how they decorated it. Simple and aesthetic. There's not too much seating though. The service was good. The drink was made quickly. read more

We finally get another matcha place in Seattle, and it's in Chinatown too! This takes the place of what used to be Yifang, which used to be Ambrosia, so this particular storefront has undergone many changes. The inside has side seating but not tables; most of the space is for the counter and kitchen where orders are made. It feels modern and minimalistic inside with the new and fresh decorations like a makeshift cherry blossom tree at the front. Menus are located at the front of the store and just before you line up to place your order. Most drinks here are matcha based, with some being original creations and others being their oat milk counterparts. I got their matcha cloudo with oat milk on medium sweet - BIG mistake on my part which I'll get to on the last paragraph - and my bestie got their hojicha oolong on signature sweetness. Now the matcha cloudo is amazing on its own; they use ceremonial which I could taste through the strong grassy and floral tones, and the sea salt cream gave it a nutty taste. My mistake was getting it on medium sweetness, which is less than their signature sweetness, and which I found out after having my bestie's hojicha oolong after noticing my matcha cloudo was bland. Speaking of that, the hojicha taste is strong, and it uses sea salt cream like the matcha cloudo. As implied from the drink I got, do NOT get anything less than signature sweet on your drinks - even if you're trying to avoid sugar. The staff at the front recommend this sweetness level, and I would stick with it too. Their menu options are limited but i see myself coming back whenever I feel like getting a matcha fix without having to drive too far up north. read more

Trying out a new tea place in Chinatown. Cute spot with a clean, modern aesthetic--definitely gives more "minimal tea bar" than typical boba shop. The space is small, so it's more of a grab-and-go place than somewhere to hang out. Drinks are solid--good quality matcha and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. read more

Step in and you feel like your in Shanghai or New York. The interior design is contemporary, minimalistic, urban. A very nice "classed up" addition to Chinatown I must say. Space is too small though during the hype, but very much liked that you felt like you were in some completely different timezone. Thoroughly enjoyed the Mango Kinu, while mangoes are not in season, it was still delicious and the quality you could taste. The texture of the ice was fynnne and the coconut a perfect compliment. This drink will make me think of visiting everytime. The Match was not bad, tasted fine but nothing mind blowing. It was good, like UG matcha. Maybe I'm not a full blown match person, could be it. The wait if you started right outside the door is around 40 minutes. The line itself moved decently, its after the order that was the main wait. Never a problem waiting for quality, and quality is served here with a touch of class :) read more

First off, pretty great marketing. Social media popped off before they opened, and the grey, modern aesthetic is def rare to the area at least. I came by on a Saturday late afternoon, and there wasn't a line to order, but I had to wait ~25 minutes for my drinks. I ordered the le grey green tea with sea salt cream, no sweet and it was not bad. I really liked the sea salt cream, but the tea was super light which I don't prefer. Halfway through the drink, the sea salt cream disappeared, and I was left with watery tea and milk, which was not very good. I'd be open to coming back to try other drinks, but wouldn't go out of my way to visit especially given the long wait times on weekends read more

A nice little tea shop with really good drinks. The space is pretty small - just two benches and no tables. But the minimalist, aesthetic interior made it feel elevated. We ordered the Hojicha Oolong with oat milk and the Matcha Makio, and both were really solid. The flavors were rich without being too strong or too sweet. The Hojicha Oolong was especially smooth, and I really enjoyed the cream top - it wasn't too thick. The staff were really busy and it took a little long for the drinks to come out but you can see How efficient they were behind the counter. Overall I was impressed by this spot! read more

Such a cute spot and the aesthetics are top notch! Happened to walk by before dinner and stopped by after for a little treat. Visited during their soft opening and it was chill inside. I could see this place becoming popular. Paid street parking, sometimes tough to find parking on the weekend. Take public transit if you can! So you can wander and try different spots in the area. Misty pu'er: I love pu'er and this was pretty roasty and bitter. A little too bitter for my taste. I might get a little sweeter next time. We got light ice and signature sweetness which isn't too sweet. I typically don't like very sweet either. The sea salt cream was so good! Very good texture, silky, and salty enough to pair with the drink Matcha cloudo: has jasmine green tea and matcha plus sea salt cream. Super tasty! Again, loved the sea salt cream and the floral notes of the jasmine tea come through too I want to visit again to try their hojicha oolong with boba! Sounds super good read more

This spot has been all over Instagram most people mention their aesthetic so I wasn't sure what to expect in regards to their quality and flavor of beverages. First off my go to is not Matcha so when my friend said he really enjoyed their Hojicha Oolong it caught my interest since I enjoy both leaf versions of those two teas and wouldn't have necessarily thought they would go together in a milk tea. But this really worked I lot less ice and light sweetness which was perfect. The Hojicha Oolong is a house made with oolong milk tea, finished with roasted hojicha, topped with sea salt cream. It automatically comes with oat milk but you can switch out for regular. I like that they use Califia Oat Milk not Oatly. The oil content in Oatly upsets my stomach. I was very happy how delicious this drink was. I was catching the street car a little bit after I ordered and I finished it so fast. Nice to have more places serving Hojicha drinks around town. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Look forward to trying some other items on the menu. read more

Le Grey - Matcha cloudo oat - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The hype is real. Highly recommend their matcha cloudo (half sweet, regular ice). Perfectly balanced drink with jasmine tea. I think the best way to drink it is without a straw so you get some salted cold foam with each sip. Also- love that they don't charge extra for oat milk! I can tell they put a lot of thought into developing the drink and menu. Not a big shop, no real seating inside except some spots to wait for your drink, so I recommend getting your drink and walking around ID. Will be back for their full menu. Also want to try their hojicha drinks. Parking: street parking in ID, recommend taking public transit read more

Le Grey - Avocado Strawberry Matcha Cloudo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First off, the environment is super clean with really great energy. It has that kind of vibe where you actually want to sit, relax, and enjoy your drink instead of rushing out. Definitely a place you can see yourself coming back to regularly. The drinks are where they really shine. I highly recommend the Guava Lemonade (fixed ice). If you're someone who loves guava juice and lemon layered over jasmine iced tea, this will easily become one of your favorite drinks. It's refreshing, balanced, and just done right. Customer service was good, no complaints but if I'm being honest, it didn't quite match the level of the drinks and the ambiance. Nothing bad at all, just not as memorable as everything else. Overall, great spot, great drinks, great vibe. I'll definitely be back. Solid 4 stars read more

Finally checked out Le Gray Tea Co in Seattle and I get the hype I ordered their matcha drink and it was honestly so good, super smooth with a really light floral note that made it feel a little elevated compared to your usual matcha. Not too sweet, not bitter, just really well balanced. The space itself is cute and minimal, perfect for a quick stop or catching up with a friend. Only thing I wish? A strawberry matcha option would make this place next level Still 100% coming back to try more! read more

Pretty visuals inside with grey interior and cherry blossoms. Thankfully there was no line on the second day of their soft opening. I like how the matcha cloudo tasted strongly of jasmine tea.

TLDR: Really aesthetic speciality new tea/boba spot in the ID. Came during their soft opening and really enjoyed it. Quite busy and can't wait to come back during their grand opening. Drinks: I got the matcha cloudo medium sweet (jasmine + matcha) and thought it was really good. While the main flavor was jasmine due to the cream, the matcha still came through and game some nuttiness and flavor. Service/Ambiance: While it was quite busy, the staff was really nice. As far as ambiance, the store is very modern and chic with a few places to sit while you wait for your order Misc: I originally wanted the Hojiacha Oolong but they were out of stock, they were also out my second choice which was the Misty Puer. It wasn't a huge issue for me since it's only their soft opening. They also mentioned the menu will expand during the grand opening which I'm very excited for read more

New tea spot in International District- small spot with limited seating so it's pretty much for grab and go. I tried matcha cloudo and hojicha oolong which were recommended as the favorites. Matcha cloudo has matcha, jasmine tea and sea salt foam- soo good! I got it half sugar because they said it was on the sweet side which was perfect. Hojicha oolong was balanced as well and has a caffeine hit. I will be back to try the fruit smoothies! read more

Le Grey?! I am a big fan! I got their Mango Kinu which is their blended mango smoothie with ripe mangoes. I got it with signature sweetness and it was everything I want in a mango (coconut milk) smoothie! I didn't expect much considering it's not necessarily champagne mango season in March but it was perfectly sweet, creamy with what tasted like a coconut cream (correct me if I am wrong). Thankfully there wasn't a line on a Thursday afternoon, but the wait for the drinks did take 10-15 minutes or so. In terms of the interior vibe, it was modern, sleek, clean, and felt luxurious! I wish it was a bigger space so there is ample seating but otherwise, it's a nice place to get a drink. read more

They're in soft opening as of March 9, 2026! I've been anticipating on their opening for awhile (since last August) and glad to see them open with the matcha concept. The interior design is modern and sleek and very instagrammable. I ordered the matcha cloudo-oat, and it is very jasmine forward with a good matcha base. I think the oat milk definitely brings out the flavor and I really enjoy my drink. There are some seats along the wall & windows but it can get pretty cramped in there. I hope they implement online ordering and pick up in the future. So far, so good! read more

Great drinks. The drinks are reminiscent of another craft tea shop and are just as, if not more, delicious. I got their Mango Kinu smoothie and Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea. Highly recommend. You can knock the sugar way down and they're still delicious. Lovely space. Clean and well kept. Very aesthetically and visually appealing. Unique decor. Small space for sitting. Not great for big groups to hang. Good spot to grab and go from. Service is fast, friendly, attentive, and considerate. They say I was already carrying other things and offered a bag with a drink carrier for me to take out my order. I was very appreciative. Street parking only but easily accessible by public transit. read more

I'm highly impressed with this place! We went on a Friday evening and while it was packed, it was also very efficient. Unfortunately, they were out of their brown sugar series so we only got the strawberry with cream (I also added the agar boba). The agar boba was sadly very sparse in my drink and for an additional $0.95, kind of a rip off. However, I am so in love with my drink. It was a perfect combo/contrast with the strawberry bits and the tea flavor. Not to mention the salted cream on top is to die for! Can't wait to come back and try more. read more

New matcha café in the C-ID. It's in a pretty convenient location since it's near a public transit hub with a light rail station, regional bus stops, and the First Hill Streetcar. Cardstock menus are available on the counter if you need some time to see what they offer. I ordered their Hojicha Oolong. Good balance of flavors. If you need a good caffeine hit, this is the beverage for you. Limited seating is available so if it's all occupied think of another warm, dry place to go to. If the weather is decent you have some options: Walk to Kobe Terrace. Cherry blossoms should bloom pretty soon. You can walk to the Waterfall Garden in Pioneer Square, walk to the Waterfront Promenade, or walk to the Pioneer Square Habitat Beach. I'm looking forward to the rollout of their full menu. read more
