    Matcha cloudo no cream and hojicha latte! So good!
    Andii S.

    The matcha cloudo was 4/5 stars for me. The ingredients taste clearly of high quality, especially obvious with the cloudo cream. The jasmine flavor is balanced and the floral quality shines, but there's not enough matcha flavor to balance the milkiness and dairy flavor added from the cream. The matcha cloudo without the cream (which my friend got bc she's lactose intolerant) is delicious and much more balanced overall! Also Le Grey makes probably the best hojicha latte of any cafe in Seattle! It's a tea that's definitely on the rise so try this one if you want to be very very pleased

    I knew I was gonna love this place after walking by it for the first time, doing a double take because of the simple, modern aesthetic, then noting to try it after dinner, which is exactly what we did! I love Le Grey, which is now my new favorite spot for hojicha. Le Grey is a new tea shop in the Chinatown-International District neighborhood, featuring matcha and hojicha. I absolutely love hojicha, which is not all that easy to find around the area. But after learning that Le Grey has a hojicha cloud oat, I knew that was the drink I had to get. It was fantastic, with the roasted flavor that I absolutely love from hojicha and liked that the creamy, cloud oat foam on top wasn't too sweet, just adding a little oomph to the tea. I highly recommend trying if you love hojicha like yours truly. Le Grey's space isn't the largest, but has some seating inside. Despite the line, it went by fast and we didn't wait long for our order on a Friday night. Any time I'm in the CID, I'll have to visit Le Grey for my caffeine fix. So bomb.

    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.

    Pleasantly surprised! The hojicha & matcha cloud drinks were both very flavorful and I went with a large party and we all enjoyed our drinks. The tea flavor was pretty strong. If you're lactose intolerant make sure to take a lactaid if you get oat milk but have a cream top. Not much seating, more like a grab and go place and the service could have been a little friendlier, but would go again and would recommend. Very aesthetic interior.

    Found this spot on TikTok and immediately knew I had to try it because I've been on such a matcha kick lately. I ordered the Matcha Cloudo and the Brown Sugar Boba Matcha. The Matcha Cloudo was definitely my favorite it's a jasmine milk tea with oat milk, matcha, and a sea salt crema on top. It tasted super floral, creamy, and refreshing. The sea salt crema tied everything together so well. (For my lactose people the crema on top does contain dairy so ask for the off if you are lactose intolerant.) I also tried the Brown Sugar Boba Matcha which was still good, but the brown sugar flavor kind of overpowered the matcha for me. If you're a big matcha lover, I'd definitely recommend the Matcha Cloudo over that one. The inside of the shop is sooo cute too, very minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing. I also really appreciated how thoughtful their menu setup was. They have little symbols for things like sweetness levels and food allergens (for example, dairy is marked with a blue water droplet), which makes ordering super easy and accessible. Overall such a cute spot and definitely worth checking out if you love matcha or fun specialty drinks.

    The shop is pretty, but it's more like a grab and go place. It's is pretty small. I got the hojicha oolong oat - I think it was just okay.... The roasted taste was too strong for me and there was a tea leaf in the drink so when I bit into it, whew it was bitter. Service was quick tho!

    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.

    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.

    Le Grey Green Tea w/ Sea Salt Cream and Matcha Cloudo Oat

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

They clearly care about their image as they offer a free mug for first-time customers with an email sign-up. The drinks here are ok, but they average between $8-$10 each. I think the pricing is just much too high. You're paying for the vibes, not for a great cup of coffee. The matcha we tried was mediocre. There are so many other great places for coffee in Seattle, for just a fraction of the price. I think Storyville is preying on tourists visiting the market. They probably have to charge that much to keep the 8 employees milling about behind the counter employed. The space does have lots of seating, but it was nearly full during our early afternoon visit. Save your money, find another great local coffee spot!

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026.

It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle.

So if you're lactose intolerant, you're better off just getting a regular espresso because you can't replace any of the specialty drinks with alternate dairy options.
