I've been here a few times and really enjoy it! The red bean latte and salmon don are my favorites. The matcha parfait is beautiful and has plenty of toppings. I also really liked the oyako don with Japanese pickled greens--it adds a unique flavor. A nice spot for Japanese comfort food and tea.
This is a very nice space to sit and chat with friends in, and the drinks are fancier and nicer than a standard bubble tea location. My drink (red bean brown sugar latte) was obviously extremely sweet but it was pretty good with plenty of red bean. My one complaint is that they don't have boba straws, which is a bit baffling to me. Sure they don't technically sell boba but the red bean topping in my drink was constantly stuck in the straw because its so narrow! Seems like an odd oversight. I had to use a spoon to eat the red bean by itself at the end.
Love love love!! When we arrived 30 mins before closing and there's about 40-50 ppl here with a line out the door, you know it's going to be good!!! 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.
I've had the soft serve from here before, which was pretty good, so I got the matcha parfait this time. It seems to be what they're known for. 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
Ordered the matcha mochi parfait and it did not disappoint. Loved the vanilla ice cream cornflake crunch combo. Mochi was soft and chewy, and not overly sweet. I tried each layer/ingredient solo before mixing it all together, and it tasted so good. Wait looked long but service moved fast and was greeted with friendly service. It is a great spot to sit down and catch up with friends. I will definitely be returning to try more items on their menu. Pro tip: get the parfait it to-go, it's so much easier to mix everything in the cup!
After checking out The Spheres, we were looking for a snack, so we walked 5 blocks to Nana's Green Tea. There was a line to the door, which is usually a good sign. The food: Matcha soft serve with red bean and mochi - soft serve was at the perfect temperature and good tea flavor. I think the red bean is a good addition. Really fresh cone. Black Sesame Frappe w/Mochi - Matcha frappaccino with black sesame ice cream and mochi - a flavor combination I have not tried before but it's a great combo. Plenty of indoor seating. A very clean aesthetic with white walls and wooden furniture. We got our soft serve right away and got a buzzer for the Frappe. Highly recommend!

A must try location! The katsu sandwich was very flavorful. The meat slices are thick and cooked to perfection without losing any juice. I was a little underwhelmed seeing the plain white bread but one bite and I felt this combo was superior. Of course I mainly came for the perfectly picturesque green tea ice cream so I tried a matcha Mochi Parfait. It has House made matcha pudding and syrup, matcha ice cream, vanilla soft serve ice cream, corn flakes, red bean paste, mochi, and whipped cream. I'd never liked red bean in other desserts but together in this parfait it was amazing! 10/10, no notes.
If only every matcha spot was like this. Nana's has just about everything matcha you could want (or think of). From matcha lattes, to dessert options, to pastries and made-to-order meals. They also have other matcha / green tea options and hojicha drinks if you're looking for something different. The staff is great. I had a few questions because I couldn't decide what to order, and everyone was friendly and helpful - I was even able to add corn flakes to my matcha soft serve (which isn't listed on the menu), so it was nice to know I could customize it to my liking! The matcha tiramisu was the best I've had, and the hojicha latte with oat milk was just right. The flavor was nice and strong without being overpowering. Everything I had here truly stood out! I liked the variety on the menu and all of the different options. - it's extensive and you could find anything for everyone. It's one of the more memorable matcha spots I've been to, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Seattle. If you love matcha like I do, definitely add this place to your list. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Such a cute place! This was my first stop to get some matcha after I got settled at my hotel. The girl at the front was so friendly and I really appreciate the menu with the pictures (I'm a visual learner so this helped so much). I got a matcha float with mochi and it's so good. The matcha isn't too sweet and the mochi has a great texture and flavor the seating inside is also soo cute! I opted to sit outside and it was pretty quiet
My daughter recommended this Japanese dessert café after our celebration dinner at another restaurant. She had wanted to visit for a long time after hearing so many good things about it, so this was the perfect opportunity. The café itself is bright, modern, and absolutely adorable. It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.
I'd stick to the sweets here, always great. The food is fine. Satisfies the appetite but not on the same level as the desserts
A lot of people recommended Nana's and I was impressed! Matcha Warabimochi Parfait House made matcha pudding and syrup, matcha ice cream, vanilla soft serve, corn flakes, red bean paste, warabimochi (jelly mochi), whipped cream Really delicious matcha flavor! You can tell it's high quality. Love all the accouterments with the parfait too! Black Sesame Frappe w/Mochi Matcha powder blended with ice and sweet milk topped with creamy black sesame ice cream and warabimochi. *Cannot adjust sugar levels* The best black sesame ice cream I've ever had!!! What a winner! Such a good dessert place!
Desserts - they have food here, but i've only ever tried the dessert. i love this place, we used to go to the one in hawaii but even then i only ever tried to the dessert. tons of options but anything with dango is my fav. the matcha is sweet but still has a good flavor to it. its not too strong. service - we usually just get it to go. comes out fast though! ambiance - on a nice summer day it can get busy but tons of seating inside and out. close enough to the convention center that people walk down.

I was in Seattle at the convention center to present at a conference. I was looking for some nonconference food and I found this beautiful place nearby. The service was excellent. I asked for recommendations as it was my first time there. The chicken. Tankatsu curry was absolutely fantastic. Everything I was hoping for. Miso was just OK, and the refreshing Ginger basil soda sorry I don't remember the name, was absolutely delicious! Not sure when I will be back, but if I'm presenting at the same location again, this is a must go to! read more
Nana's was across the street from our hotel, and we had it bookmarked for a visit. They serve tea & coffee, but they also serve some good katsu dishes. I ordered the pork tonkatsu don. My rellies ordered the chicken katsu curry (not pictured). My dish was tasty. The pork was tender, nicely seasoned, and the batter was crispy. I tried the curry sauce and it was nicely seasoned also. Regarding the ambiance, its casual here. You order at the counter and are given a number sign. The food is brought out quickly by the friendly staff. You bus your own dishes here, so tip accordingly. I would def return if I was in the Capitol Hill/Convention Ctr area of Seattle. The food is very good and reasonably priced. read more
I had the matcha soft serve with red bean and wataramochi. This was very good, and the creaminess worked here more than the matcha latte. They give you just a little bit of the red bean and 2 mochi, for the $1.25 - I could have used more red bean. I also liked the matcha gateau chocolate cake, although I don't know that it's a must get. read more

After having dinner in the area, we wanted a sweet treat for dessert. There's only a few street parking places on the street this place is located but given that it was a Tuesday evening, we were able to snag a spot. We tried the matcha warabimochi parfait and it was really tasty. I thought the elements worked really well together, especially the crunch of the corn flakes. They have an expansive menu with regular food too which we were surprised to see. I'll have to come back and try some of their black sesame based things too since I've heard good things about it. read more
I hadn't been back to Nana's Green Tea in about two years, so I was excited to stop by again during my Seattle trip. Thankfully they are open today on the Fourth of July (they will just close a little earlier for the holiday), and I was happy to see that not much has changed since my last visit. Without even realizing it, I ended up ordering the exact same drink I got the first time: a Matcha Float with mochi. I guess you really can't go wrong with it because it's still just as creamy and satisfying as I remembered. The only tiny downside is that it only comes with three small mochi balls, so for almost $9 I wish there were a few more. However, the quality of the matcha is consistently excellent, sooo I don't regret coming back. They have wonderful customer service too! The employee helping me at the register was incredibly patient while I stood there trying to decide what to order. As an awkward introvert, I always feel a little flustered when ordering, but she never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. She asked my sweetness preference for the Matcha Float, whether I wanted to dine in or take everything to go, and even carefully packed up my yuzu green tea packet with the rest of my order. She was very kind and thoughtful so just wanna say I really appreciate how welcoming she was. Even from my last Seattle visit two years ago, I still remember the employees being helpful and friendly here. I also have to recommend their desserts from my previous visit. (I skipped the sweets this time due to my budget but I still suggest picking up some of their sweets!). The Matcha Basque Cheesecake and the Matcha Tiramisu were both absolutely delicious, and I still remember how amazing they tasted even two years later. The tiramisu is only around $7 and is definitely worth trying if you're a matcha lover. This visit, I picked up their yuzu green tea packet to take home (last time, I got the hojicha). Each packet contains 15 individual tea bags and costs about $10 (not bad for how much tea is in each tea bag). They also sell matcha powder and other tea goodies. I'm looking forward to brewing the yuzu green tea at home since a good cup of hot tea is always comforting, especially when I'm sick (I've been recovering from a cold so tea has been a lifesaver to warm me up!). I actually stopped by for lunch since I didn't eat breakfast, and ordered the Sukiyaki Don (it was much more satisfying than I expected). I was craving a beef bowl and Nana's was one of the few places in the area within walking distance from my work, that was actually open for the holiday today, lucky me! It came with miso soup and a soft-boiled egg, and I was pleasantly surprised to find tofu and mushrooms in the bowl alongside the beef. It left me FULL, my tummy happy, heck yeah. Costs almost $20 but worth satisfying a craving. I won't lie.. I somehow managed to spend about $40 today between my meal, drink, and tea to take home. More than I intended to spend but no regrets, because everything was delicious and the quality has remained consistently high over the years. The only thing that made my visit a little uncomfortable wasn't the café itself. There were quite a few homeless individuals lingering around the front of the building, so I decided against dining out front like I had originally planned since I wanted to enjoy the nice weather, but one of them was panhandling me so I promptly left (thankfully I asked for my order to be packaged for takeout). That's obviously outside of the café's control, and it didn't affect the food or service at all. They still had many seats available inside but probably because it's the holiday. If I recall, the place was packed during the afternoon when I last visited on a weekday. I will still say that Nana's Green Tea continues to be one of my favorite matcha spots whenever I'm in Seattle. Between the consistently high-quality matcha, delicious meals and desserts, excellent selection of teas to bring home, and genuinely exemplary customer service, it's a place I'll happily keep returning to whenever I'm back in town and have the time to visit. read more
Amazing food and amazing vibes! Came here for the tea, Hoji-cha specifically, and it was fulfilling. The chicken katsu curry was tasted great, my only gripe is that I wish it was sweeter and/or spicier, or at least have the option to do so. I believe this place is known for their matcha and from what I saw with other customers, it looked good! read more

Had this for the first time in Hawaii and loved it. But, I was disappointed with this location... Nana's green tea specializes in Japanese desserts mainly being matcha and hojicha. This location had an inside with lots of seating, greenery, and even savory food options for lunch like katsu plates. Their service is really efficient and the workers were moving pretty fast when it came to serving for those dining in or takeout. They had a sign for takeout seating being only outside, but this is probably in the case of when they reach capacity inside because they didn't seem to care when people stayed in! I got my classic matcha vanilla swirl with added mochi. It was very vanilla heavy not much matcha and the mochi was kind of hard? Adding mochi already costs an extra couple of bucks so I was let down by that. Just seemed like the quality wasn't that great at this location, but still enjoyed the ambiance and soft serve! read more

My sweet tooth and Asian desserts cannot be separated. Nana's Green Tea has been such a reliable place for a sweet treat! There's variety, whether you're into black sesame, matcha, hojicha, and or red bean. My go-to order has always been the black sesame mochi parfait or black sesame warabi mochi parfait. It's creamy, nutty, crunchy, and chewy in all the right ways! Truly a textural experience in your mouth with the mochi, the black sesame ice cream, and the corn flakes. I find myself indulging in every bite! In terms of the ambiance, it's giving minimalist chic. By no means is it a party spot, but if you want to eat something delicious while pretending you're in a cafe in Japan, this is your spot. I have been meaning to try their other desserts...I will surely report back when I do! The hot food also appears promising and I will surely give it a try next time I'm at Nana's! read more
There's a lot of Matcha places in Seattle, but Nanas is very consistent and always a fun sweet treat to share! Not much parking in the front, but lots of seating inside. They have food, parfaits, pastries/desserts, and drinks, but my favorite is definitely the Matcha parfait because it is the perfect mix of texture from the crunchy flakes, ice cream, and the matcha is honestly pretty good quality! Mochi vs warabimochi is just the texture, mochi is the classic white rice flour balls while warabimochi is more clear/tapiocay, coated in soybean powder. The Hojicha is also pretty good and nutty! I like that they occasionally add seasonal menu items so there's always something new to try read more

Been on my list for a while now, so I was super excited to finally check it out! Came on a Friday in a group of 4 a little after 5:30 after checking out the Amazon Spheres. Wait was really short, and we were at the front in a few minutes. Things I tried: - Matcha Ice Cream - I think my expectations were a little too high because I thought the ice cream was a little too bitter lol. I've tried the seven different levels of matcha ice cream in Japan and actually really enjoyed the seventh and most bitter level, but the matcha ice cream here seemed to be a little too bitter without enough of the punch of matcha to go alongside it - Black Sesame Ice Cream - will definitely be getting this the next time I visit a Nana's Green Tea! This was so good and almost felt like you were eating the inside of a black sesame bun from an Asian bakery Would be opening to coming back and trying their parfaits and other ice cream flavors (and would come back for their black sesame ice cream)! read more
Nana's Green Tea has always been my go to for quick yet satisfying lunch place. You order from the counter once walking in, then seat yourself with a number, and the food will be brought out to you. Chicken Nanban rice place comes with miso soup, salad, and potato salad. The chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which pairs perfectly with rice. I didn't get matcha drinks this time, but they were also good when I had it before. Now the not so good part. You will need to clean the table yourself by bringing plates to the the dirty dishes area, which had a lot of flies. It's kinda gross. The place has a lot of echoing. There was a large group who were quite loud, and even my noise canceling headphones could not completely block out the noise. So if you want to come to study/work, it may not be the place... read more

I love nana's green tea. I think it's definitely one of the best places to get a matcha latte in Seattle and you know that the quality is good every time. I love getting their parfaits and it's shareable with a friend or two. They have pretty fast service and it's a great spot to study or do some work. I got their hojicha parfait this time and the ice cream had a perfect balance of nutty and sweet. The mochi was chewy and had a good bounce to it and I loved the jelly at the bottom. read more
Disclaimer that I was one of the first few patrons in the morning as they opened! I ordered the matcha mochi parfait which comes with one scoop of matcha ice cream, 3 mochi balls, 1 scoop of sweet red bean paste, whipped cream with matcha syrup on top of vanilla ice cream. Below the vanilla ice cream are matcha jelly cubes in syrup. The ambiance is beautiful and the staff brought our order to our table. We picked up a number plate and chose our own seat. There is a fair amount of indoor seating and outdoor seating if needed. The matcha ice cream has a strong matcha taste as opposed to sweet. The red bean paste tasted overly sweet on the flip side. I think they were meant to compliment each other but the red bean paste was very overpowering. The flakes added really nice texture and reminded me of my childhood. The mochi wasn't anything crazy-- chewy but didn't have any flavor on their own. One of the matcha jelly pieces I bit seemed to have some ice crystals on one end. The bussing station had plastic parfait spoons so it was process to share the parfait between two people! read more
Came here after checking into my hotel. Solid proportions and pretty good taste. Got the Katsu Curry with miso soup and it filled me up. I ordered dessert but that was too much haha. It's a more casual restaurant, order at the front and then they bring u the food. Was able to find a table and the food was quick. Was enjoyable eat alone with the ambiance. Would recommend! read more

I've been eyeing Nana's Green Tea ever since moving here two years ago and wow, it absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a matcha lover's dream. I had the black sesame frappe with mochi, which was rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced: not too sweet (I'm not a sweetened matcha person), just right. My partner got the seasonal purple sweet potato latte and it was stunning both visually and flavor-wise. The drinks are so unique, we both enjoyed the elements we had to enjoy with a spoon. We also grabbed the sweet potato Mont Blanc to share later, and honestly, I'm still thinking about it. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, high-quality and thoughtful. Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality makes it feel mostly worth it. This was easily some of the best matcha I've ever had: super smooth, earthy, rich and vibrant. The space itself is also lovely: bright, open, and super inviting. Plenty of seating indoors or out if that's your jam, whether you want to chill solo (I saw some folks working on laptops) or catch up with friends. We're already planning our return visit, but next time, we're staying for food too! read more
I finally got to reunite with Nana's Green Tea! I still love the black sesame mochi parfait the most. It was just like I remembered it. It is such a simple dessert but it blows my mind every time. I was excited to hear they are finally expanding to California. I will definitely be there to compare it to all the various locations I've been to. read more
Rounding out a downtown day of dining we strolled into Nana's with our dessert stomachs empty. For matcha lovers, this place is like paradise. So many matcha desserts to choose from: drinks, ice cream, parfaits, baked goods. You name it they'll have it. The matcha soft serve was excellent, oozing that earthy flavor. Might be stopping here every night on our trip. read more
We had a great time here after attending a conference this was a great spot. The food menu allows a mix of Japanese curry, poke and other neat eats with rice. Lots of matcha options and the service was super sweet. I was really impressed with the ask about the sweetness as I'm trying to watch my intake the staff gave us an idea of how many scoops of sweetener and how we could adjust. The ambiance inside is very nice like a garden, the bussing station was very clean and it seemed like a lot smoother of an experience compared to last year. I'm happy :) read more

Delicious food and matcha?! I got the matcha frappe and asked for it to be slightly sweeter than usual, plus the tonkatsu sando! The matcha frappe hits per usual and no complaints there. As for the tonkatsu sando, it did not disapoint me at all! The size was perfect, bread was light and airy and the tonkatsu was fried perfectly without having that greasy feeling. Yummy! With how busy it usually is, the service tends to be quick but they're still overall very nice. It can get a bit snug inside and they do offer outdoor seating too, YET will say that that can also fill up quickly depending on the day. read more

Came for desserts. Not bad to satisfy our sweet tooth. If you're not into green tea then keep scrolling. If you're thinking about come here as a big group then keep scrolling...unless you're planning to head over when it's not a busy time. Seating is challenging. If you do decide to come by, be courteous for other guests and limit your time after you're all done enjoying your desserts. Thank you! :) read more
Get the parfait! I opted for the Hojicha one instead of matcha and was pleasantly surprised. It was really really good! I also got the matcha tiramisu that was in the glass case. Do not get!!!!!!!! The cake tasted so old, stale, and I could hardly taste any matcha flavor. Save your money for the fresh items. They have tons of tables outside to sit with your dog. However the outside table is considered to go so your parfait won't come in a pretty cup. It comes in a plastic to go cup. read more
Great place if you love matcha and black sesame! Can't always find places that offer black sesame dessert options. Clean and modern interior. Nice seating areas but can get busy. Service is straightforward and professional. Got several items, all were good - my favorite was the black sesame float with matcha. A lot to choose from! read more

Ask the Community - Nana’s Green Tea
Does your almond milk have sugar? I'm looking for unsweetened almond milk option
No added sugar from my previous order /experience. It wasn't sweetened.
Is this a place that is reasonable to do work on a laptop?
Yes it is! Not too loud and lots of space
Is there any gluten free options for the food?
Most of their desserts are not gluten free but they have soft serve that could be gluten free as well as some or their rice bowls without the fried items.
Do you guys accept cash?
Hi Simon, we don't have any cash drawers to give change, so we can accept cash if there is an exact amount. We accept all credit cards, apple pay, google pay, and all the other methods of paying with a phone.
Do you ice cream and parfaits have gelatin?
Ice cream by itself no, parfaits have pudding on the bottom which does but it can be made without pudding.
Is the karaage gluten free?
No it's not unfortunately, there is soy sauce in the marinade. Our Salmon Sashimi Don (without sauce) is the best GF option!
Do they have AC?
Due to COVID they only have outside seating at the moment. The inside does have AC but it will probably be on when indoor seating starts again.
Is the ice cream pasteurized? Is it safe for pregnant women to eat?
Yes! Both our soft serve and hard scooped ice cream is pasteurized!
Are there space heaters in the outdoor dining area?
Not yet! But we have heaters on order and are expecting them later in January.
Is sit down dining available currently? It was showing on google that it wasn't available but Yelp says it is?
They have limited indoor and outdoor seating available!
Is it vegan? I saw the matcha base is non-sugar non-dairy, but not sure if that stands for the majority of their products- fiancé has dairy allergy and I LOVE matcha.
Vegans just stay home it's the best way to not cause harm to animals!
Are there vegan options?
Yes, in terms of food you're only looking at one thing- Tofu salad. For dessert there's matcha latte with almond milk
How do you handle parking?
^^ For downtown, free parking is after 8pm. Unless this location happens to be far enough away but I don't think so...
What food(not dessert) item is worth getting?
Katsu Curry and Chicken Nanban were good.
What are the best times to avoid crowds on a weekday?
1:00pm to 2:30pm and after 8pm. Basically anytime that passes lunch/dinner hours.
Are there any desserts that are dairy free?
They have a milk substitute option for 75 cents - oat or soy milk :)
Is this somewhere you can chill and play board games or something?
They don't provide you with board games. Guess you could bring your own, but right now it's still so busy and crowded... you would probably feel bad taking up space if you're done all your meal and desserts. Their tables are also aren't that big.…
Is it officially open now? Do I still need to make a reservation to visit?
It is open. I just walked up and ordered a few days ago. Be sure to show up early, because they ran out of a bunch of stuff when I went at around 2-3PM.
