Recently remodeled, Coffeeholic offers a refreshed and inviting space that's both modern and…read morecomfortable. It's a great spot to relax, catch up, or just enjoy a quality drink. Their menu keeps things simple but well executed, featuring coffee, matcha, and a selection of pastries, with drink sizes ranging from 8 oz to 24 oz depending on what you're in the mood for. I ordered the Matcha Purple Haze, which stood out with its smooth, well balanced flavor definitely something I'd come back for. I also tried the Coffeeholic Dream, and it was a hit rich, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the overall presentation of the shop really adds to the experience. Between the quality drinks, clean aesthetic, and great service, Coffeeholic checks all the boxes for a solid coffee spot.

I've been staying walking distance from here and have now come here three different times…read more I'm a huge fan of Earl Grey Matcha so I decided to try their Tokyo fog. which is iced Earl Grey tea with Matcha cloud foam. I found it very delicious and light and refreshing. If you're looking for a Matcha, the Matcha flavor isn't very strong and it mostly tastes like an earl grey latte, but it is delicious and creamy. I ended up coming back and getting it again but with extra Matcha foam for additional Matcha flavor. Absolutely loved this drink. I also got a Matcha latte with black sesame cold foam. I've had a black sesame Matcha from somewhere else before, and the sesame flavor was very light, so that was what I was expecting, but was met with a very strong sesame flavor. I was not a huge fan as it felt overpowering and I couldn't taste the matcha. However, this is just a personal preference thing and if you like black sesame you should definitely try it! I'm not sure what much they used, but it didn't taste like the best quality, but it is still delicious and their drinks are all fun . The inside is small but and warm and cozy and they do have some seating. I was always able to find a spot. Super cute place with very sweet baristas.

I'm house sitting in the neighborhood and stopped by a couple times…read more I got a london fog, a lavender honey london fog, and chocolate croissant. All were delicious and the tea was steeped perfectly and it is reasonably priced. Definitely recommend coming in here! It is small but has lots of seating for the space. One side note: I wanted to try the matcha but saw that it is so light colored I didn't even think it was worth trying so i'd love to see a more high quality matcha :) (i'm a bit of a matcha snob though)

The interior is cozy and has a nice ambiance, with hanging plants and light background noise. It…read morewas super quick to get our drinks and croissant. Unfortunately, the matcha with lavender and croissant were both very mediocre. It was nice that they added lavender upon request, but the quality of the matcha was not that great and the flavoring was very light. The ham and cheese croissant they heated up, and it was flaky and buttery. However. The cheese and ham inside were just mediocre deli meat and sliced cheddar cheese (probably tillamook or something). We are spoiled in Seattle to have access to lots of fantastic bakeries, such as Petit Pierre as well as nice matcha shops. If you want very delicious, authentic and quality pastries and drinks, you might visit another cafe. But for just a quick drop in and you don't really care too much about quality, this is a cute shop to stop at or enjoy a lazy morning/afternoon.

I stopped in to grab a Matcha in the morning right after they opened as I've been on the hunt for…read morethe best matcha in Seattle and heard good things about this place. I ordered a Matcha latte with no flavor. I saw that they had an einspanner Matcha and a banana matcha which I'm eager to try. I didn't want anything too sweet so I went with the traditional latte and didn't know if it was going to come sweetened or not. It turned out to be absolutely delicious and very lightly sweetened, which was perfect and exactly what I look for in a Matcha. It was earthy and delicious. I saw that they also served lots of Boba toppings, but I came so early that they weren't serving them yet so I would love to come back and try their Boba. They also have tons of food, which I didn't try but would absolutely come back for. There is plenty of seating and the staff is so friendly :)

We were curious in their Asian-inspired selection of rice krispys, including a pandan rice krispy. It was a fun treat, that had a strong smell of pandan and a slightly weaker taste but still delicious hint of pandan that added a subtle, fragrant, sweetness. Would love to try some of their food dishes in the future!

We came on a quiet weekday morning. The coffee shop also operates as a record store, which is upstairs. There's seating on the first floor and outdoors as well. The cafe has a hipster vibe with the artwork and ambiance. We found the service to be curt and not too welcoming, but the drinks were made quickly! We had The Ivy. It's made of cashew and oat milk. It was our first time having cashew milk and the drink was nutty! It was soothing, warm, and cinnamony. Recommend this. Empire Roasters and Records offers a unique space for coffee and music lovers. A different vibe with cool drinks! It's located on S Edmunds St. in Columbia City.

They let me know that the London fog comes as a concentrate and offered to use slightly less concentrate so that it wouldn't be too sweet with the additional syrup. I was a little skeptical of the fact that they make it from a concentrate because. I feel like a London fog is hard to mess up if you know how to brew tea, but I decided to try it anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised. While it didn't have a strong earl grey flavor, the drink was delicious and still tasted like a London fog and the lavender pear syrup was lovely. It has plenty of seating and is a great place to work from with a decent amount of outlets. Super friendly staff and I loved the dine in mug.

This location took over the Starbucks that was there for years…read more I like that the space feels bigger and brighter now, and is relatively pretty low-key and chill. The Starbucks was always so packed. As far as the coffee and food, though, it's extremely overpriced and just OK. I got an Americano and a burrito. Came up to about $17, I think. I do not like their coffee at all. Very bitter and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The burrito was teeny, tiny and way too expensive. I would not go out of my way to come here unless there was no other option, honestly. Which in this area there kinda isn't anymore, unfortunately. some people really like this type of coffee, and if you do then, I'm sure it's great. But there's not enough sugar in the world to make it taste good to me.

From big tray of chicken wings to fried rice, they have plenty of items which I'll order next time if I'm hosting a party. The grilled pork banh mi was excellent overall. The pork was flavorful and well-seasoned, the fillings were fresh and balanced, and everything came together nicely. The only downside was the baguette, it wasn't as crunchy as I prefer. That said, the overall taste was still very satisfying, and it's definitely a banh mi I'd recommend. If you're someone who likes the traditional banh mi then I'd recommend the House Special, which was the 3 kind of hams with pork or chicken of your choice.

Everything is wonderfully authentic, including traditional dishes like canh chua, thịt kho, and stir-fried noodles. Come out and support your local business owner--places like this are rare and worth holding onto.

I've been coming here for years and it's still a regular stop for me. My go-to orders are the #20 (shredded chicken) and #21 (BBQ pork): both always hit. I'll usually grab a drink to go with it, and sometimes I can't resist picking up a pastry or two. My husband is a big fan of their beef stew as well. And if you're not in the mood for a sandwich, their loaves of bread alone are worth stopping by for, they're that good. Consistently solid and definitely a staple for me!
