Guys unfortunately this is worry the hype. So much so I almost ordered a second trip. First thing if you're expecting to find seating on the weekend here try again because it's packed and small. We got luck my and got these tiny chairs lol. Either way I got the basic matcha latte and wow. First I love that you can watch them make the matcha. This is high quality truly so tasty!!!
After figuring out the best time to go for it, I went with my friend on a Sunday morning at 9am to get their banana pudding matcha latte, and there was still a line to get their stuff. Even the inside was almost a full house! This time around, they did not run out of banana pudding; oddly, I didn't see many people get it when my friend and I got ours; I mostly saw hojicha and einspanners. Guess luck is in my favor now (from my previous review here). Yes, matcha has become oversaturated, overused and overrated here in Seattle, but the banana pudding matcha latte here is sooooooo good that you wouldn't even think that! The banana pudding is perfectly sweet and complements the matcha. It even has actual banana pieces, and other places serving similar matcha lattes don't even do that! The toffee bits hit the spot, and the matcha itself is ceremonial, so it's quite strong and floral. Both parts work well, and even more so when you decide to stir it all together after you've enjoyed some of the banana pudding with the provided wooden spoon you get. I've tried many matcha places and popups around the city, and after having here a second time I can safely say this place has THE best matcha in all of Seattle, and if all those matcha places I tried competed in a Smash Bros. tournament, this place would come out on top!
I've been here twice and liked my drinks! The first time I got the banana pudding hojicha which was very unique (and not too sweet!). The most recent time I visited I ordered the pistachio hojicha which is a seasonal drink. The hojicha quality is great and paired well with the pistachio. I also tried my friend's matcha kloud and that was fantastic! Every time I visited they ran out of the banana pudding matcha so it's been a bummer I haven't gotten the chance to try that one yet. So if there's a particular drink you want, go early because they do sell out!
Hands down the best matcha in Seattle. If you like strong matcha that is not too sweet, this is the place for you! I feel like most of the matcha in Seattle can be summed up by two words: "green milk". However, the drinks at Phe are rich, smooth, and made right in front of you. The color is perfect. I would highly reccomend the coconut water topped with the matcha foam. It wasn't too sweet and still maintained a strong matcha flavor, even when the drink mixed. We also ordered the banana nut matcha and a regular and both were amazing, although very sweet! If you like sweet, then it would be good. If not, I would reccomend the coconut water topped with matcha foam. Hands down the best matcha place in Seattle! The line goes out the door, but it moves quickly and is so worth it! My one critique is that it is so busy inside so if you want to study, there will be no room.
I've heard high praises for this matcha place and the line definitely seconded that notion. The line moved at a fair pace and there was complementary lemon ice water. The ambiance is super nice with people chattering and some light music playing. I was a little overwhelmed with the options so I picked a simple Hojicha Latte. I love that I was able to taste the burnt Hojicha notes. My friend ordered the Earl Grey Matcha and said that there was definitely the taste of Earl Grey. I noticed that the matcha powder that the baristas were using were labeled differently based on which matcha drink they were making. Because they strain and mix the matcha powder on the spot it does take a while for the drinks but the wait is worth it for some authentic tasting matcha. Next time I come I either want to try the banana cream matcha or the Vietnamese coffees. There is decent amount of seating and food options on the menu as well.
Waited for about 20 minutes to order, and unfortunately by the time we got to the front of the line they ran out of the matcha banana pudding (tragic). I ended up getting a matcha earl gray latte, which I was pleasantly surprised by. The early gray was pretty strong- initially the floral taste hits you and you finish with a matcha aftertaste. My friend got a matcha latte with oat milk and we were both very happy with the quality of our drinks. It can be challenging to find a good matcha latte, especially since most taste either bitter, grassy, or milky. Probably wouldn't wait in that long of a line again but I didn't regret it. There seems to be a decent amount of seating inside, but it does get busy so would prepare to just take your drinks to go.
Worth the hype! I got really lucky and was able to get in line when it was manageable. The interior was so unique and reminiscent of Vietnamese coffee shops! The ambiance was great. They had a lot of great and unique drink options, but I wanted something uniquely Phe. Something that I haven't seen on menus of other coffee shops before, so that is why I went with the Phe Pho! The drink itself was so beautifully crafted. So aesthetic. The cream part of the drink was seasoned with pho spices (I think). I'm not sure, but it smelled really similar to pho! Once it was mixed into the coffee, it had a distinctive flavor that I've never had before in a coffee, but I enjoyed it. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area.
Phe is a modern Vietnamese cafe and one of the hottest spots to grab a matcha in the Seattle area for good reason! To get here, street parking will definitely be your best and there is a good amount of it around the area. Inside, they have an aesthetic setup with a solid amount of seating. For their menu, they have a great selection of different coffee, matcha, and hojicha drinks to choose from. Wifey and I opted to try their Koko Matcha Kloud and it was spot on. All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Come stop by for yourself to decide if this spot is the top matcha spot in Seattle!
Poppin cafe with lots of seating and really delicious cream foam!! Very creamy banana pudding that wasn't overpoweringly sweet and hojicha + matcha was decent. Drink looks very filling but it's in a smaller sized cup with ice so I finished it no problem Tea flavor was noticeable, but felt a bit watered down as I sipped it more but could've just been the ice melting And because I got the pudding it worked really well to balance the drink out! Pudding bits of banana chunks and bread inside - they recommend not to stir so you can sip and eat as you go and taste the foam and tea individually. I agree with the tip but ended up mixing a little since I prefer creamier drinks Agree that this is one of the best matcha spots in Seattle I've tried!! Would wanna go back to try the seasonal pistachio flavor if I was in the area
tldr: you'll find me here again with the banana pudding hojicha. Kinda pricy. Super busy. Might not have seats, despite a large space and many seating. Service: reasonably quick, it was packed in there and I didn't feel like I waited too long for my drink. Ambiance: it has a really nice, modern vibe. Lots of seating. And yet not enough seating friends and I wanted to catch up in here but there was sadly no seating despite the huge space and number of seating in the café. Drink: I ordered the banana pudding hojicha and I was blownnnnn. I'm trying to decipher how to make this banana pudding top myself for home, ill be back for this drink again. The banana pudding hojicha was - $10 probably because of the banana pudding. My friends drinks were comparably more inexpensive, around $7-$9. The hojicha was nutty, and unsweetened. Most of my sweetness came from the banana pudding and toffee sprinkles. I do recommend trying this drink!
Best Vietnamese coffee I've had anywhere. I still think about it all the time! We ordered the phe nau and phe bap. Both were very well balanced, neither too bitter nor too sweet. My bf also loved the spam, egg and avocado musubi and said it tasted fresher than the ones we had in Hawaii (!!)
We came here as soon as it opened at 9am on a Saturday, and within 5 minutes there was already a line out! Definitely be prepared to be in a swarmed environment. We ordered a chicken banh mi for food, and regular latte and Strawberry matcha. The banh mi was a typical banh mi, nothing outstanding. However, I thought it was pretty filling for an $11 sandwich option in capitol hill area. The coffee was not anything special either, but this is probably because I didn't fully commit and get the full Vietnamese coffee version with the sweeteners and all. So that is probably my fault. The ambiance is probably what makes this place stand out. The neatly organized books on the shelf, the little child-sized camping chairs to sit on, the clean coffee tables, everything works together to give off a good neighborhood vibes. Great if you're nearby, and I dare say, it's worth the trip to try it out if you're into the instagram show off. But otherwise, wouldn't try to become a regular at this place.
Phe has become a staple matcha place for me, I've tried at least half the menu by now and my regular go-to's are the Koko Matcha Cloud and Hojicha Einspanner, and the banana pudding matcha of course! Definitely a busy spot so try to come here on a weekday if you don't like waiting! (Like me..lol) The pork banh-mi is delicious here as well as the Hawaiian roll breakfast sliders. I need to get around to trying the other food options. Not the biggest fan of the spam musubi they have, it always seems over steamed to me, I wish they were made to order like the other food options! Phe is worth the hype, and worth the wait too if you decide to go on a weekend. The space is super cute and it's nice to have a space for young people to gather and hang out. read more
Phe Coffee has officially won me over after a couple visits. The first time I came was during that crazy matcha shortage, so they sold out just a couple hours after opening which, honestly, fair. I ended up trying their honeycomb coffee instead and WOW... so good. Perfectly balanced, slightly sweet, and super smooth. My boyfriend got the black sesame coffee and loved it. I'm personally not a black sesame fan, but if you are, it's definitely worth trying. The second time I came back, I finally got my hands on the earl grey matcha and OMG GET IT. It's so unique and flavorful, and everything just works together perfectly. You really taste the earl grey and the nutty matcha yumm. Only downside? Parking can be a struggle... but I'm not even kidding when I say I will parallel park every single time for that drink. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. read more
On a weekday morning, my friends and I came into this coffee shop to try some of their unique drinks. While my friends settled on their banana latte, I wanted to try their iced hojicha latte. I loved the strong hojicha taste that blended well with the milk. My friends enjoyed their banana latte drink and commented on the perfect amount of sweetness. Regular seating is available in the shop, along with smaller chairs and tables reminiscent of Vietnamese outdoor shops. read more
A very decent matcha latte, but at a pretty high price point. I'm sure they use good matcha, as the flavor was strong and earthy. But not sure if it was worth the price increase over other places. May be more worth it to get the more fun drinks here. read more

Love love this place! Parking is a bit of a pain but where isnt it the same everywhere in Capital Hill? When we got there the line was pretty long but moved quickly. Drinks seemed to made very efficiently so people came and went quickly. We ordered quite a few drinks and they were all delicious! A few favorites were the creme brulee phe and the banana matcha latter. I love the fact that they were not overly sweet like some other viet coffee places that I have been to. I regret not ordering a sandwich to try because I saw others order it and it looked good. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place during our time in Seattle. I would recommend and definitely come back if I'm visiting in the future. read more

I'm from San Diego and I'll admit their matcha beats any matcha I've tried from San Diego. Is it the best matcha I've had in the states? No, but you can tell they use quality grade powder! Every drink is made to order so there was a long line when we initially came. I think we waited around 30 mins? But I think the wait was worth it solely for their phe creme brulee which is seasonal! The viet coffee is so strong and it paired so nicely with the thick custard. Highly recommend if you see it on the menu!! read more
Really enjoyed this spot! The place was super spacious and had dedicated seats for waiting for to go drinks as well as a sit down area for people to hang out. They also have a food menu which is great since a lot of coffee shops don't offer fresh food from the kitchen. I Got the chicken (+$1) banh mi with egg (+$3) on it as well a hojicha drink with cream on top. I was happy with the staff being able to do no sugar in the hojicha drink and only add the cream on top. it was a perfect balance for me! Theres other shops Im unable to remove the sweetener from the drink so this was a plus for me. The banh mi was very fresh and balanced with flavor. I would say it s a bit pricey but it was made well so Im not upset. If anyone is in the Capital Hill area I'd highly recommend this place. Friendly staff all around and very well maintained! read more

[IN A NUTSHELL] expensive but great taste matcha [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] Came across this place while in Seattle and did not know that this was a popular place. We read that there was usually long lines but just wanted something quick. When we got there in the morning on a Friday there was no line. A great matcha spot but I really think that it is overpriced. Nonetheless it was still good. I do not think the price was worth it for this, but to try once, I don't mind. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.75/5 Matcha Einspanner $8.50 (3.75/5) -Matcha Latte with Sweet Cream Top -This was a classic matcha drink that you know is made fresh each cup because they make it infant of you. The flavor of matcha was there and it was not too powerful. I decided to get the einspanner because it wanted more creamy and sweet. I would recommend getting this one. [SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE] (not reflected upon review score): We got this to go, so service can not really be spoken on. However, know that people say that it is usually a long wait time. read more
If youre looking for amazing iced coffee and matcha, look no further. The long line truly spoke for itself. I got the banana pudding matcha which was 9/10. SOOOO GOOD. Its more of a dessert than a drink bc they give u a spoon. But i totally recommend this. My mom got the sesame cream Vietnamese coffee and that was also 10/10 if you like sesame you need to try that one. Their breakfast sliders were pretty good too I loved the green dipping sauce more than the chipotle one. You have to try this ive youre in the area! read more
I've heard from friends and saw posts on social media recommending this shop for its drink selection, so I was excited to check out the spot! The space is really nice and modern, a chill area for studying and hanging out. I ordered an iced hojicha latte einspanner, and my friend got a black sesame coffee with less ice. At first, I felt a little disappointed by the size of the cups before realizing that the shape is less tapered than usual, and therefore holds a good amount. The hojicha flavor is strong, not too sweet, and in addition to the cream was very rich. I was satisfied with my drink, but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. There were other items on the menu that looked pretty interesting (earl grey matcha, chestnut matcha latte etc.), so if I happen to be around the area, I'd drop by to try more drinks! read more
If you're a coffee/matcha addict like me, this is the go to spot in Seattle! Recommended by a friend that said this is one of the best matcha and viet coffee spots in seattle. I got there around 11AM on a Sunday and the line was out the door! There's seating inside but because it's so busy it's hard to find a table or seats with bigger groups. We ordered the banana matcha and phe muoi. The flavor is very rich and creamy!! I loved that the staff made it right in front of you. Despite being so busy I felt like the drinks came out fairly quickly! I waited in line for maybe 30mins and drinks came out in about 10 mins. I also loved that there's a small seating area in front while waiting for drinks. I did think the drinks were on the pricier side given the size, but I'd still come again to try their other drinks and food items! read more
I don't know if I can find a stronger and better Vietnamese coffee around. I love love strong Vietnamese coffee that's original and I think this one checks all the boxes. It was really busy- line out the door kind of busy the first time I came on Sunday. Got in line and it went very quick and efficiently which I love. Fantastic service by the entire staff from ordering all the way to getting the coffee and matcha. It was so good I came back Monday and got another coffee to help with getting through a rough work day. I got the musubi just to try and it was also amazing! Plenty of seating to stay for awhile if that's the vibe. There are unique small chairs for people to sit while waiting for their orders too. read more

Phe! is a Vietnamese-owned café that truly lives up to the hype. They specialize in Vietnamese coffee, which is my personal favorite, but their matcha and seasonal drinks are also excellent. I love that I can switch things up depending on my mood. I've tried the crème brûlée coffee, corn coffee, strawberry matcha, and seasonal green Thai tea--everything has been delicious with zero complaints on taste. Prices are on the higher side, and it can get a bit busy, but the interior is cute and there's plenty of seating. Service is always friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back for more--highly recommend for any coffee or tea lover! read more

I keep finding myself coming back to the spot whenever I'm in the Capitol Hill area. The Matcha here is just really refreshing and all of their items have good pairings. The line may look long, but service is fast and there's plenty of sitting space in the back to enjoy your drink or spend time with friends. read more
Hands down one of the best matchas I've ever had. My friend and I stopped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and everyone else definitely had the same idea as there was a bit of a line but it moved fairly quickly. The inside is clean, fairly spacious and although there's limited seating (there's some REALLY tiny chairs and tables), tables do turn over relatively quickly and we were able to grab a seat and enjoy. The vibes were just super cool and aesthetically pleasing. It was also cool to watch the baristas prepare the matcha, they showed so much care to their craft. I got the Strawberry matcha (banana pudding was already sold out) and my friend got the matcha einspanner. Our drinks were so good and refreshing! They were earthy and I loved how fresh the strawberry puree in mine was. Really cool trendy spot and I can see why it's so hyped! read more
Walked in at 11:30 AM and for the first time, no line! It's usually pretty crowded around lunch time, but for the next few days, you might actually have a chance to snag a table. The cold spell and BTS presale/gm tix are likely keeping folks at home Their hojicha latte was the best I've had in the States - strong tea flavor and that banana pudding: how did they create such a flavorful, creamy texture? I'll def get this again, but I'd want to try their other matcha/hojicha lattes on their menu (there's just so many to choose from and I don't think you can go wrong w/ any of them). I love what they've done to the interior: very aesop, japandi, mid century modern. The bookshelf in the back was a surprise, all sorts of used books. It makes me wonder if they'll let customers donate any of their books. How cool would it be though to see an old book of yours at this cafe if they were to make that happen... read more

Okay Capitol Hill I see youuuu! Last time I came to Seattle 8 years ago, there weren't very many matcha or Asian tea spots so I was pleased to find one here! In terms of accessibility, it's pretty walkable from the Capitol Hill shuttle and Link Train station. There was quite a long line where we waited for ~25 minutes, but it felt pretty quick once you ordered. I will say it was really busy inside...almost claustrophobic even though there were lots of tables and chairs so be prepared to wait! Interior is warm with the lighting and vases on the shelves. Light wood and cool tones! Very neat and clean. Their menu is standard with fun drink options with hojicha, matcha, and their viet coffee. My boyfriend isn't a huge fan of coffee, so we were glad to see there were a few other tea options. Cups are so cute! What we got: - Honeycomb Viet Coffee: comes with caramel and vanilla cold foam and generous pieces of honeycomb! honeycomb was too much for me even though the barista said to dip it. found this drink a bit overwhelming but strong coffee and yummy foam - Honey Yuzu Chrysanthemum Tea: absolutely refreshing & on the sweeter side, comes with tea jelly, i miss her Overall, I'd expect a wait for both ordering and getting your drinks. The line seems intimidating since the outside looks pretty small, but there were options for everyone. I'd like to come back again and try their matcha as I wanted to try something new this time. read more

Worth the hype! Came on a rainy weekday so there was no line and got the banana pudding matcha. Their banana pudding is a star and I hate to say it's worth the $10+. My partner got the banana pudding hojicha, which I would definitely get next time and think I liked better than their matcha even as a matcha lover. Place has lots of seating and bathrooms inside. read more
Finally had the chance to come here after hearing about their matcha for so long and it was definitely worth the hype!! The wait was not as long as I expected. I came at around 2:50pm on a Saturday and got our drinks 30 minutes after. The line moves pretty quickly. The banana pudding with matcha latte seemed most popular so I chose that one. I liked how the barista who made my drink filled it to the brim!! Though it definitely depends on who makes your drinks since I saw some baristas left room for the banana pudding lol. The matcha latte was amazing but the banana pudding was ok. It wasn't worth the 3 extra dollars for it. If you don't particularly like banana pudding, I'd recommend just getting the matcha latte. The einspanner was delicious as well. Their matcha flavor is quite strong and on the less sweet side which I love! Seating is quite small, with super small chairs and little tables on one side, more proper booth and chair seating on the other side of the restaurant but taken up by people studying and such. It is a pretty nice vibe for a cafe to hangout in! read more
As one of the most popular Capitol Hill based cafes, "Phe" (#1) has been a hype machine since the day it opened (#2). The sprawling space is usually crawling with Gen Z youngins (#3), where lines are never-ending and waiting is part of the experience. Thankfully, the coffee is been good enough to where I look forward to coming each time. This is no small coffee cafe, but a large space with lots of room to stretch and a bustling staff to boot. They've been quite good at managing the wines and getting drinks out in a timely manner. Prices are standard for the area where the average coffee is around $6 and some change. Within their classic drinks, the flat white, cappuccino, latte, and Americano were practically perfect. The latte art was on point and I love the fact they offer a flight for various kinds of drinks they offer. Their nitro cold brew is creamy as it is potent. The peach fruit tea is surprisingly refreshing and an ideal summertime drink. The matcha options are also quite extensive. The banana matcha is strangely addicting, but the pandan coconut matcha will forever be my favorite. Many others can be seen ordering the strawberry matcha cloud, which can only be iced. I also feel some type of way about their phe coffee, which is their classic Vietnamese iced coffee. It has just the right amount of sweetness and good balance between coffee and condensed milk. There are several ube drinks ons drinks on the menu, which includes ubelicious and my preferred drink of a light ube latte. Seasonal drinks should also not be missed. In addition to the Earl Gray Matcha, the egg coffee has been excellent. They also are offering a peppermint mocha and a northern comfort, just in time for the holidays. Parking is going to be a challenge. Unless one is waiting in the car and illegally parking on the street or one got lucky enough to actually park in a space, which is not likely during peak hours. _________ (#1) Phe as in "Cà phê" i.e. Vietnamese coffee. (#2) Which was earlier this summer. (#3) A generation where $7-8 coffees are simply normal. read more
I have no words to describe how DELICIOUS the banana pudding topping was!! I came just to visit and I'm so sad I won't be able to get this where I live :/ it's sooooo good I constantly think about it. The matcha was perfect! Not too sweet and not bitter. I 100% recommend getting the matcha banana pudding read more
I love how strong the matcha flavor was in the matcha einspanner! Creamy and just the right amount of sweetness! Came in on a Thursday afternoon and only waited around 20 minutes to order and get my drink! The matcha is made to order, hence, very authentic and fresh. I also appreciate that they have a complimentary syrup dispenser for customers who may like their drinks a tad bit sweeter. Friendly workers and very nice aesthetic decor inside! Lots of chairs and tables; a louder atmosphere, but still spacious enough to study and hangout with friends. Only downside is that the drinks are expensiveeeee!! I'm used to getting my matchas in LA for ~$6 so this was a big surprise to me to be charged $10 for a cup. read more

Spacious, clean, and delicious matcha! I got the sweet cream, and my friend got the strawberry matcha; both were delicious. It was relatively crowded, but there were tables and seats, some very low to the ground. It was very fresh and nicely made! On the pricier end, but that might just be seattle. read more

I've been here probably 10+ times already - hands down the best matcha latte in Seattle. I've tried all of the matcha latte flavors here, including Hoa (more floral) and Rau (more bitter) and they were all amazing. It is on the pricier side per cup, but the quality shows (compared to the other places in Seattle). I've tried working here a few times; there's plenty of seating, but it does get quite loud with the music and overall ambiance, and it fills up quickly. I'd recommend coming on a weekday, as weekend lines can get very long. read more
