Bancha
Diana C.

My most recent visit to Miros was good as usual. They were unfortunately quite busy on a Monday morning/afternoon, which is also now typical and my only complaint really now as it impacts the ambiance. The service was great as always and I tried one of their new seasonal drinks. I think it was spelled Ban cha or similar and it was a great dairy free and non-caffeine option for me. I just wanted a warm, flavorful drink but maybe not a lot of caffeine and this was perfect!

Free tea samples
Christa L.

What a gem of a place! The space is lovely, there are free hot tea samples in ceramic teacups (not your single use paper plastic crap) and enough matcha and seasonal options to come back again and again. Plenty of seating but seems to be packed rather quickly. I had the kinako matcha which was so lovely, I wish I lived in Ballard all the time.

I'd love to come back and try more of their drinks, but the matcha latte didn't stand out to me. We ordered the iced matcha latte with oatmilk, and when we asked about doing an iced ceremonial matcha, the cashier said she wouldn't recommend it. I liked how they offer teas to sample, and the variety of teas they carry. During my wait I was able to try the Jasmine green tea. The wait on a weekend noon was 20+ mins and all the seating was taken, but looked like there was a lot!

My iced ube was FANTASTIC. They have so many options of tea it is amazing. Service was great, the guy making it seemed really passionate and was getting to know the ppl coming in. Great vibes- some people were chatting around and others working on laptops

A tea lover's paradise! As an avid tea drinker, Miro Tea excels in creating an environment to casually sip tea and also peruse every new and classic tea that they offer. The staff are upbeat and helpful. I love the opportunity to A) sample selected teas of the day for free and B) pay to try their endless selection of teas before committing to buying them. I decided to get a kinako matcha, while my partner got a hojicha latte. Both were deep in flavor! The kinako powder's nuttiness enhanced the earthy matcha. Truly a beautiful and refreshing drink.

interior
Celina T.

My favorite tea cafe in the Ballard neighborhood. Ordered Hojitcha latte to go w/ almond milk - it was delicious and had a strong high quality hojitcha flavor. No line on a rainy day, so service was quick. Hard to find a table indoors though (it was a full house), otherwise I would have ordered for here. They have cute ceramic mugs for those dining in and their pastries look delicious. Will need to come early next time to snag a table and enjoy my tea latte indoors. Def worth visiting again soon!

Ceremonial Homare
Sarah H.

I loved the interior and the overall ambiance. The tea samples were so good as well. I tried the ceremonial matcha latte which was decent. It was a bit grainy, I would definitely come back to try a different tea. I also tried the baecha tea which was really nice and would definitely get or try and make when I am sick. It wasn't too sweet and tasted pretty gingery. For the place being pretty busy on a Saturday, we got our drinks quickly as well.

Ginger matcha latte
Vinh M.

So... ginger matcha latte anyone??? I came here by myself on a Saturday evening just an hour before they close, and walked into a strong tea smell, and a very calm and soothing cafe space where the tables and floors looked like they was made of hardwood floors, only in a much lighter wood color. They serve a ton of teas, chais and (matcha) lattes, and I decided to get something that one of my friends didn't have a high opinion on: the ginger matcha latte with oat milk. Nothing to say about service for my visit here, though. First sip of this and I was like, "Yes, the matcha is there and it's pretty strong." Then came the ginger part, and I was kind of surprised. Normally I'd expect matcha to be sweet or bitter, but never have any spice in it like for this drink. Despite all of that, I didn't quite mind it and actually thoroughly enjoyed it myself. It reminded me of longan ginger tea that I sometimes got back at what used to be Hard Wok Cafe over at Bellevue: sweet in the right sense but also randomly spicy while not being off-puttingly pungent. I also sometimes like to eat ginger upfront when I'm eating anything that could potentially upset my stomach, such as sushi. And I did eat some very spicy food that day. I did get a drink that was quite peculiar and things didn't quite fit together, but I'm more than satisfied with what I got and I can't wait to try their other drinks in another future visit with friends!

Old mountain black tea with almond milk.
Oris B.

The Old Mountain Black Tea with a splash of milk from Northern China Hands is hands down the best combination of tea and milk I have ever tasted. In addition, Miro offers a complimentary tea tasting bar, allowing guests to sample various teas before ordering. It's a fantastic feature! The only drawbacks are the limited seating capacity and the current closing time. Also, the staff are knowledgeable and recommend new tea experiences which create an unmatched vibe like anywhere else! I truly wish they would stay open longer, ideally until at least 10:00 PM.

Matcha latte
Isra A.

Truly a 10/10 matcha and insane that it's so readily available by the Ballard farmers market. For some reason I assume the shops around an "event" are just tourist traps but NOT the case here! Interior was so cute, great place to hang- though a little crowded on farmers market mornings. Matcha was delish. We first got the latte with one pump simple syrup. I think the full sweetness (2 pumps) hit the mark and they were super gracious about fixing that for me. Staff were awesome, very well informed and kind. Will be back even outside of visiting the farmers market! Edit- i want to include tips about parking in my reviews so because I went while the farmers market was up, I parked two streets down so I did have an 8 min walk back to the car just FYI!

Renee S.

A great spot if you're into traditional tea! I tried the tea samples they had on display and they all tasted like the ones you get in Asia! The coconut cloud matcha I ordered also has a very strong matcha taste, and the foam on top was super airy with strong coconut flavors. This spot gets busy on the weekends so there may be very limited seating.

Gf hummingbird cake
Alyssa M.

I've been coming here for decades so maybe I'm biased. This is a proper tea shop with a whole book of teas to choose from, creative drinks and food items, tea ware, free samples and places to sit both inside and out. The staff is helpful and kind, and the place has a natural woodsy vibe. My latest fave there is the Gf hummingbird cake by Sweet Violette. The carrot cake is great too.

Iced matcha lattes (too milky, don't recommend)
Thaila N.

Really cute cafe in Ballard that has free tea tasting. They have posters saying that they were the first to start serving matcha in Seattle, but that certainly doesn't make them the best. The matcha lattes were way too milky, it straight up tasted like milk only. The worker even told us that he doesn't recommend we pay $2 more for the ceremonial matcha because we won't taste the difference since the drink is so milky LOL. I should've listened, but at least I can upload this PSA to y'all. Do not recommend getting a matcha latte here!

Coche Valley Dessert Cafe - Strawberry Mania.  Delicious!

Super cozy place for a unique brunch experience! We came here for the soufflé pancakes and ordered…read moreboth the egg Benedict savory version and the strawberry cream one. They were both extremely fluffy and flavorful. The savory one had a nice chipotle sauce in addition to hollandaise. The strawberry one was not too sweet and moist. You order at the counter and pick up your food here. The soufflé pancakes took awhile (30 mins?) to come out, but it was worth it. We came on a weekend as soon as it opened, but there was already a line. I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and the food - one of the few places to get soufflé pancakes in Seattle!

Soft and ripe and delicious. The cheesecake bites were not as flavorful as I would have liked, along with the vanilla ice cream, but I have a crazy sweet tooth so I recommend this one for those who like milder desserts that are not too sweet. The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!

It's cozy, a bit run down the chairs are now just covered with a seat cover. And it's only steer parking if ur driving. Ambiance: pretty chill service, we were the only ones there, gossiping late at night. He pretty much left us alone since we entertained us and gave us the check just when we were ready. Food: Im normally a chocolate dessert person, but the chocolate pie was a light chocolate. If you want a rich chocolate pie, this is not your pie. Honestly, the star of the show was deserted island. I don't normally like fruit pies but that's what I'll be ordering again. It's not too sour nor is it too sweet, everyone at the table agreed. It is the goldilocks of sweet and tartness for a fruit pie. Oh and definitely goes well with ice cream!

They told me not to go in and told me their story but I ignored and wanted to give it a shot. I should have listened.
