Miro is the pinnacle of tea shop experiences to be had. It starts with masters of the craft, sourcing high-quality teas and making masterful and innovative blends that don't need anything added to be perfect. I've never seen a tea shop so skilled at what they do behind the scenes curating tea, blends, tea drink menus, and a tea shop experience. The tea itself is enough to make this a must-visit in Seattle, but that's just the beginning. They also have a lovely curation of tea goods to choose from that have everything someone new to tea needs as well as some pleasant surprises for the experienced tea drinker. They have candle warmers for teapots which are perfect for big brews to keep the tea warm without keeping it scorching hot or too cold. I don't know why I never thought of that! And the shop itself is divine. You can order any of their huge selection of teas by the pot or even for a gongfu experience where you steep and drink tea in multiple brews to see how it evolves over time. The drink menu as well is a blast, from an 'orange creamsicle' nitro drink that takes the natural orange creamsicle notes of one of their roobios teas and tweaks it to be this lovely balanced and super smooth experience that always leaves me coming back for more. But my absolute go-to is the juniper bay leaf syrup jasmine tea latte that is a feast for the senses: nuanced, floral, just sweet enough, really special. They also always have new seasonal drinks they're testing out that are crazy interesting. And they have traditional japanese tea cakes (wagashi) that pair amazingly with the tea, highly recommend when they're in stock. read more

Amazing tea.!!! Great service and the plants wood accents are amazing. I 100% recommend!

Really great quality teas and drink selections. It is always packed when I come in but the line goes pretty quickly. I loved getting the matcha latte with a hint of sweetness. I've always taken my drink to go since it's hard to find a seat but I'm not bothered by that since I can just walk around the area and enjoy it. read more

As a tea (not coffee) drinker, I cannot speak highly enough of Miro!!!! Their seasonal drinks are always spot on, especially this winter 2024 The sesame latte was so flavorful and the crunch of the seeds really hit. The five spice latte was my favorite drink of the season. So many flavors, in a weird way I swear it gave me the taste of a non chocolate hot chocolate?? But more herbal and delicious. I would drink 10 more. Always busy inside, but lots of people working there. Not many food options, but plenty nearby. A great space to be alone or catch up with friends if you enjoy the background chatter read more

I've been coming to Miro since probably 2014. It is my favorite tea shop in Seattle. Easily the best selection of teas (greens, oolongs, blacks, rooibos, and herbal (get the midnight blue!). The staff has always been extremely kind and helpful from Jeannie down to every employee I have known there. They are even patient when I ask for the gyokuro that needs to be steeped at the lower temperature, and I appreciate that a lot. Anyways, why is there like no art on the walls? It is so nice when there is art on the walls (like when the staff did their own art with the Kate Bush theme). I for one think the current lack of art is worse than whatever happened with the matcha lattes. More art would be so great. It would definitely make enjoying my favorite tea even more special. read more

I cannot believe I didn't discover this place sooner. As soon as I walked in- I just loved the ambience and vibe. There were teas to sample that were just amazing. I ended up ordering an Ube Latte and I'm still dreaming about it. It was so unique and yummy. They also sell loose leaf teas by the oz. I do need to go back for more! Also noting they have delicious pastries. I'm already calculating my next opportunity to return!!! read more

New favorite spot! Im obsessed. If you love tea or tea lattes, this place is worth checking out. I got the pink chai and it was so smooth and well-balanced! It's green tea based and had pistachio crumbs on top. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Other drinks I was eyeing were their matcha and london fog. Their pastry case comes from good local bakeries like macrina or rila, so they're pretty solid as well. The inside is clean and has ample cozy seating and it seems great for getting some work done too (they have outlets!) Will come back again! read more

Love this place-best of Ballard for sure, even Seattle. Employees are amazing, tea selection is highly diverse and high quality, gorgeous ambiance and decor. Great seasonal drinks. Also love the local artists that are featured. Hope this place never goes away, there's a reason there's often a line! read more

By no means am I tea snob so if you're looking for intricate ins and outs about how great the tea served here, or the selection is (which from what I can tell is a lot). I'm a simple guy. I like iced tea, little bit sweet as an alternative to iced coffee if I need a pick me up. I enjoy the Iced tea fusions and seasonal drinks. My last visits I've had the Strawberry Supernova and Lychee black which were excellent. Very fruity, refreshing, sweet, but not too sweet and a decent amount. The service is quick and friendly which is impressive as each time I come here it is crowded - a long line, particularly if it's nice out and people who enjoy staying after receiving their order, so if you want to hang out here on your laptop, be very early. There is a large selection of tea to take home for your own brewing pleasure. read more

This is my favorite cafe to visit and the best place I'd you're looking for a cafe that highlights tea. I really enjoy the Nitro matcha. I got the matcha latte which I highly recommend. If you drink your latte there you get to use a beautiful mug. I also enjoyed the savory roll and always keep an eye out for Tokara wagashi. The staff all always friendly and helpful describing the menu items. If you're looking for a chill spot to study or work then Miro is the place to go! read more

Absolutely loved checking out this tea place right next to the coffee place! It helps scratch both sides of an itch and is perfectly located for friend groups that have both coffee and tea loves. Inside it's like a zen sanctuary. The ambiance, music, staff outfits, signage and branding are all super neutral tones and minimal, natural feels. The menu is soo expansive, they have a million types of tea. I knew i wanted a hot matcha and there were still 4+ different types of options and concoctions. I almost did the cold brew nitro matcha but decided to stick with the hot one and I'm glad bc it was so delicious and tasted so pure and natural with no additives or sweeteners. The staff was so nice and helped me get everything i needed, i also tried the ham and cheese croissant which was yummy but maybe a little overcooked, but still flaky and delicious, and the pear croissant which was such a divine beautiful and yummy dessert i would come back for it whenever. Even the presentation was so ornate. Loved this place, will totally be back my next time in Seattle. read more

This is a place I take my friends and family when they come to visit me in the area. Very high prices for the drinks and pastries, but honestly I think a lot of the items are worth the price (like the Golden Latte). Every time I've gone in *no matter what time* they've been very busy... there is also rarely more than a couple chairs of free seating, but you can just stand and chat and try all the tea they have on display while you're waiting. It has good vibes and is a cute location to meet up with friends. read more

Cozy spot and also next to one of my fav coffee shops so I can go between coffee and tea. If you are trying a green tea for the first time or with a child, try one of the Phoenix Greens--very palatable. They never overbrew their teas so they aren't bitter. Much of what is tempting in the dessert case is gluten-free. Lavender cake to breads, I've never had anything that wasn't good. read more

Really good stop for tea drinks. There were a lot of drinks I wanted to try from the matcha latte, to a black tea latte, to a matcha yuzu soda. I ended up getting the matcha latte and it had a strong but not overwhelming matcha flavor - kind of earthy and slightly sweet. Among all the different pastries, I also got a slice of the lemon lavender cake. The cake itself is not super sweet which complements the tea drinks and the lemon and lavender is there. The icing is lemony and again not super sweet. Highly recommend! read more

Came in to work - they have a variety of teas and combinations of lattes and specials to choose from! I chose the matcha latte with almond milk and a bit of vanilla syrup. I didn't realize the size would be so massive - they give you 16 oz. mug for the price! Good quality matcha. The folks ordering and preparing are also attentive, and they have a pretty large interior and also a patio you can use their Wifi. The only con would be the music in the cafe is kind of loud, so don't forget noise-cancelling earbuds! read more

Soo we ordered 2 matcha lattes- lightly sweetened. I guess we realize that this type of latte should not be lightly sweetened , rather just regular sweetened. To me, it lacked the matcha flavor. ( maybe because it was lightly sweetened. The worse part and I am not kidding--- these lattes made us fart all night long. It wasn't painful or anything -- but man we were so gassy. I m glad we didn't have it before our school move in. Never had this happen before drinking any matcha. read more

Good matcha is pretty hard to find in Seattle, but Miro Tea offers one of the best matcha lattes that I've tried here. The lattes are creamy and rich in flavor, but not powdery or grainy. I also really enjoy their Green Tea Mojito. It's a very unique drink with a good balance of the green tea and mint flavor. They also have a bunch of free samples of hot tea near the front, which I thought was pretty cool. If you're looking for a place to sit, they have a cute interior with a lot of tables although it can get crowded. I definitely recommend checking out Miro Tea if you're looking for a cute, spacious cafe that offers great drinks! read more

After hearing so many people rave about the matcha lattes, I knew I had to try them! I jsut ordered a standard iced matcha latte with oat milk and I will say I was pretty disappointment when seeing the pale light green color and the lack of matcha flavor (jsut tasted like a cup of milk). Not being Ballard usuals, we did go during the farmers market hours and the line was extremely long. We ended up coming back that evening and although the line wasn't long at all, it was still busy with people meeting up, working or just grabbing a tea. I would be interested in trying them one more time but not I'm in the area rather than making the trek just for the matcha. read more

Wide range of tea and cake items and a great place to get some work done. It was very crowded Saturday afternoon, but I loved the hot tea samples, artwork, and especially the creamy summer velvet tea. read more

Easily the best tea and bakery shop in Ballard, one of the best in Seattle. I love shops that craft their own mixes, and this place is the master of that. Matcha, roobios, tumeric, they have everything! It offers healthy and regular blends of tea, all with at an affordable price. I am unsure if all of their pastries are from Macrina Bakery, but can't go wrong with that. Lovely atmosphere that makes you feel in part in a modern tea shop and partially in a botanical garden. The locals love this shop. A lot of people who come here are regulars and it gets busy so fast. read more

Love their ginger tea, drink it by the pot. Their carrot cake is divine. My current obsession is Ube lattes here. I love their sunroot tea, it is so earthy and delicious. The place certainly understands tea, and for those of us from across the pond where tea means something sacred this place honours our code. I love their London fog with earl grey crème. Great place to work. Parking around here is a soul suck after you blow through your two hour window. Quick service. read more

Miro Tea is an aesthetically pleasing tea shop in Ballard that I've visited a couple of times with my boyfriend to try their drinks. They have a big selection of teas, and they even let you sample four different kinds. They also have seasonal drinks that I keep an eye out for. The space is quite large with lots of tables. I love the rotating artwork on the walls and the overall atmosphere. This time, I went with one of my friends to chat and work. It was pretty chilly inside--surprisingly so, to the point where I wanted to wear a hoodie. I think that was the only significant downside I noticed. The service was nice and seems like they know what they're doing. Here's what I've tried: - Matcha Soda - All Nighter - Rose Ambrosia (Matcha latte with rose jelly) - Summer Velvet - Pink Chai The drinks are decent, and I'd rate most of them 4/5. If you're looking for tea shops with a nice atmosphere, be sure to check them out in Ballard! read more

The pictures are from last year. I thought this will be the place that I have been looking for. The drinks I had from last year. Since Fall I haven't had a chance to go back but last week when I stopped by and got the ube latte while they advertised 'handmade/homemade' they actually use powder! The real ube was very subtle. Less than 1/2 spoon. The server gave me the wrong Mochi even though I reminded 2 times for what Mochi I wanted. read more

On a rainy drinking some of their brewed tea is the ultimate comfort. the options are endless here from the different teas you can have them brew for you. The person who worked there helped us narrow down which tea. It's a great place to work from as well with their clean modern aesthetic and good wifi. It can be crowded on weekends to grab a seat but you can always grab something to go! read more

Love coming here to get a fancy tea drink. They also have a great selection of pastries! I have tried the hojicha iced tea latte, which was delicious. It is sweet from the maple syrup and very creamy. A great alternative to coffee. I also had a great golden milk latte and tasted some of the strawberry iced tea. It is very cute inside, with lots of seating and nice plants and even art for sale. It gets very crowded on the weekend, especially sunday due to the farmers market going on. There are some hot tea samples when you first walk in as well as a little shop area. You can also purchase a wide variety of loose leaf tea from their tea wall. read more

It sure is a busy place on weekends. It is bright and cheerful corner tea place with lots of tea options. They mention that there are about 150 varieties of tea in that place. Sounds pretty cool right ? I love the presentation of the tea. I won't deny that it's a bit on the expensive side but we have thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The herbal tea we ordered was - paradisia It was absolutely refreshing and soothing. It's a nice place to catch up with a friend and have those long conversations.

Sweet cafe with nice interior plants, but definitely pricey. Our drinks weren't the best so that's what I'm rating off of (they were okay). They had boba so I figured I'd try it. Was not good at all, could tell it had been sitting for a while as there was no freshness. A nice thing is that they use non-cow milk here so you get to pick between options like soy, oat, and coconut. However, the trade-off is that this is factored into the price so again, Miro Tea can be on the pricier spectrum. Cereal milk tea was literally milk and sugar. I mean you get what you expect, right? Imagine drinking the excess milk after eating a bowl of cereal. They aren't misleading but it's really nothing more than that which was disappointing. Black tea latte was a close alternative to milk tea. It was a fair substitute if you get milk tea cravings. Definitely don't expect anything spectacular though, but there is a nice boost of caffeine to wake you up a bit. read more

This was my first time at a "tea cafe" and it was absolutely amazing. The vibes demand calm, focus, and mindfulness from you and those around. When we came in on a Sunday afternoon the places PACKED. Everyone was chatting with friends or working (this one person had dual monitors!) The wait for a seat will be worth it but I'd try to come at a less busy time. The store staff was super friendly and engaging with people. We ordered a gongfu cha and one of the employees was kind enough to explain how one normally uses it and helped make the experience more memorable. They have some free sample teas you can try at the counter. We loved the Sakura one so we got that one as well as the gongfu cha. I loved this place and would return to study, read, or bring friends/a-date. If you never tried a tea place this is the one! read more

Miro Tea - Un tecito con amigos! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

came here sunday afternoon right after visiting the farmers market. think a lot of people had the same idea as me as the line was consistently out the door in the time i was there. it took maybe 10-15 minutes to order and waiting for the drink itself took about 5 minutes, so overall, not bad. the menu was a bit confusing, as i couldn't see any information about alternative milk or sweeteners. i think when i was ordering, the staff did ask if i wanted any sweetener but i was a bit confused so i said no. the price was $6.25 for a matcha latte, +$1 for oat milk, and with tax the whole thing costed $8. the drink itself was fine, you could taste the matcha, however, i prefer a little bit of sweetener in my drinks (which it doesn't come with by default), so i asked staff to add some sweetener for me. they offered syrup or vanilla and i chose vanilla, which made it a bit better. i think overall though the drink wasn't anything outstanding, but still solid. there was also a minimal amount of chunks at the bottom of the drink. they also seemed to have a lot of classic tea choices, and i enjoyed sampling a few while waiting for my drink. lots of seats in the building and free wifi as well, but it was still pretty packed and hard to get a seat. read more

Calling all tea fans!! I stopped by this cute cafe during my time in Seattle. The service was quick and efficient and the barista was super helpful with any questions. I wanted to try something different so I ordered the Mobn Milk with oat milk and boba. It was light and refreshing with notes of lavender, chamomile and cardamom. They also have cake and pastries that looked delicious but I just came from a filling lunch and didn't have room in my belly to try. Will certainly be back to check them out. read more
