I will start with the positives. It is a very cute shop and a very well-decorated interior. The staff was helpful and very kind, answered every question we had. Unfortunately, where I think Offline fell short with the drinks we got. My friend and I both got the Chinese Coconut Latte and we were very disappointed. For a 16 oz drink that is almost $10 (no creme top, just espresso and coconut milk), the flavors were just not there. The coconut flavor was a little too subtle and I felt as if the espresso that they used had a strong taste that didn't pair all that well with the coconut. I will probably come back to try the black sesame drink (it looks really yummy!) but the prices and the coffee did disappoint us. Other than that, it does seem like a promising cafe and I loved the little trinkets in display. read more

Asian influenced cafe( Chinese influenced) with matcha and coffee drinks. They even had a banana flavored drink. Seating indoor and some outdoor seating as well read more

This shop is very cute! Located in a quieter, more residential part of Capitol Hill. It was very busy. For how busy it was, the shop needs to be larger. They often had lines out the door and it was hard to find a seat. Even harder was the noise volume because it was so crowded on a Saturday mid-morning. It was sometimes hard to hold a conversation because of how loud it got. Maybe this will improve if the hype dies down. Service was super kind at the register. Sort of a bummer that prices aren't that transparent so I included a pic of my digital receipt. They do list prices on a paper menu but not on their blue main menu in the shop. BBQ pork bun was great, like what you get at dim sum. Orange osmanthus latte was not very sweet and had a bright flavor from the orange. Not sure what osmanthus tastes like tbh to be able to call that flavor out. Banana bread matcha was delicious! The foam really did taste like banana bread and I found it did not compete with the matcha flavor either, so I got a good mix of both flavors once the foam mixed in. Matcha was also not very sweet! They had lots of art on sale. Bring your quarters for the art print machine! Overall, I liked this place and thought the food and drinks were great. It is expensive and busy. It's out of the way for me so I don't know if I'll ever return unless I'm in that particular block of cap hill read more

When I found out about the duo matcha I immediately dropped everything and drove over because I've been searching for a double matcha drink in Seattle since it became so mainstream in LA. It scratched my itch! I liked the consistency of the matcha cream top a lot--I don't think too many cafes in the area reach the creamy/not overly foamy texture. The matcha flavor wasn't top tier but definitely good enough to appreciate the drink. Sweetness was perfect. Loved seeing how the owners chose to present the ambience with their own personal touches, it's a nice place to work at on a weekday when there's not a huge rush. Parking isn't the easiest but imo easier to find and cheaper than central cap hill and ID. Want to come back and try the actual Chinese inspired drinks next time. read more

banana bread matcha was good. foam itself was good, but the matcha itself was a little on the bitter end. need to try the coffees next time. the place itself is very nice tho, reminds me of a coffee shop in LA. read more

Cute, open space, good music, and outdoor seating. Loved getting a print from the print machine. I talked with a regular and they said they've been trading with other people when they come- I think that is a cute and unique way Offline seems to be building a community. I met one of the owners and we talked for a while about their story, and how Seattle is growing in good ways. They were genuine, friendly, and seemed interested in who their customers are. Very cool, will def be back. read more

Offline Coffee Co The Vibe: A masterfully designed space that blends Industrial Cool with warm, mid-century touches. Between the bold blue tiled counter and the sun-drenched windows, it's a sanctuary designed for "offlining" from the digital noise. The Palette: The beverage program is both creative and precise. The Iced Matcha is a standout--vibrant, earthy, and topped with a nutty crumble for a sophisticated textural contrast. Their Latte Art is equally impressive, showing a high level of barista craft. The Experience: It feels like a neighborhood living room for the modern era. The balance of bitter, sweet, and umami in their signature drinks is handled with expert restraint. read more

Checked out Offline Coffee in Capitol Hill for their soft opening today. They had a line out the door all day, which was awesome to see for their first public day. I ordered the Chinese coconut latte. The coffee itself was super smooth on the palate, but I didn't get a ton of coconut flavor coming through, and it left a bit of a fatty film in my mouth. Not exactly what I expected but still tasty. They also have a really cute little merch area with collabs from local artists, including handmade matcha whisks, which was a nice touch. The drink menu is super original and creative, though the prices are definitely on the higher side. There's also not a ton of seating, so it feels more like a grab-and-go spot. Things seemed a little hectic, but it was their first day open to the public, so that's totally understandable. Overall, I'd probably call it a solid four stars on a normal day, but since it's opening week and there are always kinks to work out, I'm leaning toward a five. I'll definitely be back to try more of their drinks! read more

Small menu but great choices. You can't go wrong. I love how they have flavors I've never seen elsewhere. Great vibes to hang out and chat. I've seen lots of people with laptops working too read more

My favorite matcha in town! Just wish they were open earlier and later on weekdays. If you go to work earlier than 8am you're missing out on the best matcha ever to start your day with read more

I was about to go to Offline's opening day and I was very impressed by their crowd control out of the gate. I heard about this coffee shop opening online and I knew the hype was going to be stacked, but they've delivered some standout options in my opinion. I was able to try the Yuzu Maple Montblanc, the Chinese coconut latte, and the Huamei spritz. On first taste the cold brew for the Yuzu Maple was a little sour, but everything came together when the maple yuzu cream mixed together for a unique and citrus forward cold brew. On a repeat visit I tried out the Huamei spritz and the coconut latte, but very good in their own respects. The spritz was actually a great surprise with that unique Chinese plum taste, I'd love to grab one on the go. The Chinese coconut latte was also a treat and had the proper coffee to coconut milk ratio for a good mix. Overall I'm waiting to see how this space evolves when it gets less swarmed since the interior is set up to be cozy and I think the place has great potential to grow into a neighborhood staple. read more

I saw the café on Instagram and all the rave reviews on their soft opening day and decided to check it out. There's a long line on the door in the way him was about 40 minutes. The café is very small inside with a few tables. in a corner there are things for sale such as chopstick rests, pottery, and a sticker machine. The menu is pretty small, with coffee and Matcha options. Some of the flavor seems pretty unique. I got the banana bread Matcha latte. The large size is eight dollars before tax and tip, which is very steep, considering their large size looks to be about 12 ounces. The match has a good color however, I thought it was more diluted than I want. The banana bread cream on top it pretty good, not too sweet and very creamy which strong banana flavor. Although the drink was good but not a good value given the steep prices and small size. There are some pastry options, including pineapple bun, barbecue pork bun, raspberry croissant, etc. I was told the pastries were supplied by dim sum King and the French guys. Service was excellent. read more

Quaint café, fast service, plenty seating. I love the Chinese decor. Difficult parking. I ordered the banana crème matcha latte with almond milk. In traditional Chinese fashion, the drink was "not too sweet." I usually appreciate this, but with the astringent tannins of the matcha, my mouth was uncomfortably dry with every sip. I'd like to try the strawberry matcha latte next to see if the strawberry puree/syrup combats this. read more

Absolute stellar matcha. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in a huge jug for me to sip on the entire day. - Banana Bread Matcha Latte: The cream top tastes exactly how it sounds and balances sooo well with the matcha - Strawberry Matcha Latte: The strawberry puree is sooooo fresh & you can taste the strawberry chunks! I usually steer away from strawberry matcha drinks b/c of how sweet it is, but it didn't overpower the matcha. - Duo Matcha: This is my personal favorite and it's absolutely amazing. Usually, a drink that's double matcha may seem unappealing, but you can taste the difference between the two in the best way. Oat milk is also the default milk!!! Overall, so excited for a new matcha spot that offers good taste & not to mention, cozy interior. read more

My new go to spot for matcha and coffee! Tried a few drinks with friends and the Duo Matcha is definitely one of my faves! The consistency of the cream top is not too thick and still maintains both creaminess and matcha flavor. The matcha is really smooth, not too umami or nutty, honestly one of the best I've had in Seattle. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the Yuzu Maple Montblanc as someone who doesn't like acidic cold brews, this was pretty light and refreshing, the only bit of acidity was from the yuzu flavor. Haven't even mentioned staff was so friendly and VIBES SO CUTE HERE I got a lil milk print too :D read more

The main issue here is the price absolutely does not justify the quality. The banana bread matcha latte was chalky and powdery, although the cream top was tasty. Customer service wasn't stellar, but not terrible. Staff seemed slightly annoyed and inconsistent in how they treated customers, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. Drinks were also very slow to come out, probably the slowest I've experienced around the area, and while I get that they're busy and new, it doesn't match the high prices. Ambiance is decent, the interior is cute and the outside area is nice to sit with your drink, but it does not make up for the experience. The matcha itself is just really disappointing especially because there are so many matcha places in cap hill which are either cheaper or the same price but SIGNIFICANTLY better. I can only speak to the matcha, maybe other things are better or more unique to this place. 2.5/5 but rounding down for an unpleasant experience and highway robbery!! read more

Yummy, cute, found street parking on the block i got the yezi latte - very delicious read more

Friendly customer service from the owner here. I ordered the Huamei spritz and it was delicious. I had to wait kinda long for my drink however it was worth it. I wish they had decaf coffee and other non caffeinated drinks. The space is small yet cute and relaxing. I really like that they have a point system. Overall, I'd come back here to try their other drinks and I'd recommend this coffee shop. read more

such a cute and cozy cafe!! i tried the osmanthus orange latte and banana bread matcha and both were delicious. also had the spinach mushroom pastry and pineapple bun which were super yummy. the interior is so cute and i love their vending machine i'll definitely be coming back to get more prints!! i like that they support local artists and i got a cute chopstick holder. great cafe to do work/study but would probably recommend coming early since i think space would fill up fast! read more

I am so excited to go back to Offline Coffee! I tried a few drinks, including the Banana Bread Matcha, Strawberry Matcha, and Orange Osmanthus Coffee. The flavors are well-balanced and the cafe has a friendly, grounding vibe. I've never really been a coffee drinker before, but I think Offline might have changed my mind. This is a great place to start your day, stop for a study break, or to meet friends (-: read more
