    Seasonal drinks!
    Diana C.

    Once again an excellent experience. I love reading here for the vibes. They feel clean, natural, and bright for lack of a better way to put it. The staff are amazing and so is the tea. Would recommend. Tried two specials and loved both.

    This is a classy cozy place with all kinds of exotic tea offerings. I love their ceremonial matcha lattes specifically the Homare from Uji Japan. If you are lucky enough to see the Dubai chocolate cake you should definitely get a slice. It's not too sweet and tastes wonderful! Service is fast with a smile and there's plenty of seats to work or chat.

    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

    Free tea samples

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings. It made our visit this time very stifling.

This comes in a very large cup, with layers of matcha ice cream, cornflakes, vanilla whippedd cream, and mochi at the bottom. I'll be honest that the matcha ice cream wasn't my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of matcha in general, but I have had examples where the sweetness balances with the earthiness better - and this felt like it leaned too much into the earthiness side of it. It just tasted off when mixed with everything else. What was exceptional, though, was the second and third layers. Mixing the cornflakes with the vanilla whipped cream/yogurt layer was awesome. The crunchy texture provided with the creamy vanilla flavor really worked - and it felt like what the essence of a parfait is with the textural and flavor contrast. I think I would've liked this a lot more if the top had been vanilla ice cream instead - submitting a request to have that as an option on the menu. This was pretty expensive. It cost 14 dollars for a single parfait. That's just a crazy amount. I know it's pretty big, but it's simply overpriced. Overall, it's a decent but not very practical dessert. 5.5/10

It 100% lives up to the hype- amazing double fried chicken sandwiches and even more amazing ice cream! I love the different variations of chicken sandwiches they have. We tried the original which had their delicious herbaceous green sauce/aioli and the Homer which tasted so fresh with the veggies and whipped garlic sauce that accompany the fried chicken. The curly fries are a must if you're here & looking for a savory snack. The ice cream is a must, too! We particularly loved the seasonal miso caramel and wish it wasn't only seasonal. There was a line out the door when we went on a weeknight, so I imagine a line is to be expected when you come by, but it moves very quickly as you order at the counter. You'll wait for the ice cream at the counter but if dining in, they'll bring the food when it's ready. I personally didn't mind having dessert first! There's some indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Super casual vibes. Service is pretty quick overall. And we love the convenience that it's right by the light rail station.

I'm usually a little…read moreskeptical of soft serve places since they often use nasty-looking mix, but I'd heard they use milk from Hokkaido, Japan, which is known for its dairy, so I came in expecting something rich -- and it absolutely delivered. They offer two flavors, Hokkaido Milk and Matcha, and I went with the swirl because I wanted the best of both worlds. I usually prefer my ice cream plain so I can focus on the flavor itself, but they do offer mochi and syrup toppings if you want to dress it up. I was actually a little surprised to see the strawberry syrup was sold out, which weirdly made me even more intrigued -- but in the end, I still stuck with the ice cream as is. The shop itself is a small pickup window attached to a larger Japanese restaurant, and it seems like a very cost-effective way to run the business. It also appeared to be operated by just two people, which made the whole operation even more impressive. When I went, there was a long line that stretched a good way down the street, but the wait moved quickly -- I spent about 15 minutes waiting to order and had my ice cream within minutes. The Hokkaido Milk was the standout for me: incredibly rich, creamy, and smooth. As someone who loves a good vanilla profile, I was very into it. The Matcha was also done really well, with just the right bitterness to balance the sweetness and complement the milk. I tried to isolate each flavor in every bite so I could appreciate them on their own, and I'm glad I did. By the time I finished, I was completely satisfied, but low-key wanted another round. I exercised great self-control though :D

I wasn't impressed by the portion size or how diluted the matcha tasted, but I still remembered enjoying the Hokkaido milk soft serve. REGULAR - 6.50 + Hokkaido Milk +2 for M.B.R (Mochi + Brown sugar syrup + Roasted soybean powder) The Hokkaido milk soft serve was smooth, creamy, and subtly milky without being overly sweet. The flavor itself is pretty mild, so I'd definitely recommend adding the M.B.R. The mochi was a bit stale, but the brown sugar syrup added a nice depth of sweetness, and the roasted soybean powder gave the soft serve a nutty, toasty flavor. These two toppings definitely elevated the soft serve for me. Overall, a quick and casual dessert spot in the area. We sat at one of the tables outside and enjoyed our soft serve.
