Food & Drinks: Matcha Einspanner (7/10) - not the best quality matcha i've ever had but not the worst either. it was decent. i think mine was slightly on the grainier side for the matcha and more milky. the matcha was a bit overpowered or washed out but you could still taste it. the taste overall was pretty decent Xoi Man (7/10) - a bit on the saltier side, portion is a bit small, had a combination of flavors. i thought it was decent Egg Rolls (9/10) - so crispy and flavorful! these were made really well and tasted good with the fish sauce Service: It's pretty busy so there's going to be a bit of a wait, especially if you ordered food. They'll hand you a number if you decide to dine in and you place it at the table you're at and they'll bring it out to you! On the other hand, for drinks you would pick up at the front. Ambiance: It's very cute and small with limited seating. It's pretty popular and busy so it can be hard to find a table. A lot of people come and do work/study here as well so seats can be taken for a while during busy hours.
When we were in Seattle recently, I researched great coffee spots and Phe was mentioned more than once. Once I saw that they specialized in Vietnamese coffee and they actually offered Ca Phe Muoi (salty coffee with cream), my favorite Vietnamese coffee drink, I bookmarked it for a visit. There was a line when we arrived, but there was seating available while we waited. I already knew that Ca Phe Muoi was what I wanted, so I didn't need to consult the menu, but for the reader, they offer other Vietnamese coffee drinks, matcha drinks, and seasonal specials. Food is on the menu including banh mi, sliders, croissants, and avocado toast. My drink was the perfect blend of salty and sweet. I loved the ambiance and decor with natural wood and plants for a calming vibe. I can see why Phe has such great reviews and just wish we had something like it in Vegas.
Okay - this place gets packed especially during holidays and weekends but line does move. The ambiance inside features a large bar where you'll see the workers work and a series of tables where you can play games or study / talk / dine. Bathroom hallway is pretty cool as well. The drinks - chefs kiss. Was actually not expecting it to be that good. I was in LOVE with the Phe Bap (corn latte). The matcha is alright tbh. Phe Bap: 11/10 Matcha: 7/10 Hojicha Pistachio: 7/10 Phe: 7/10 Sliders: 10/10 (amazing - similar to Community Goods in LA) Would highly recommend checking out if you're into the drinks.
My absolute favorite cafe in Seattle. I remember coming over a year ago for their soft-opening pop up. Now a year later, it's amazing to see how far they've come but still retained what made them great in the first place. They are super efficient in their assembly process which they have to be considering how popular they are and how long the lines get. I ordered their ginger soft tofu hojicha special which sounded crazy but I wanted to try it. It was absolutely amazing. I never would've guess that a tofu taste would pair so well with the earthy toasted hojicha. The texture of the tofu was also great, it reminded me of grass jelly. I cannot wait to come back and try all of their drinks.
Phê is a standout stop in Seattle for anyone who loves matcha drinks with a little creativity. The banana pudding matcha latte was especially memorable -- rich, creamy, and layered in a way that made it feel indulgent without losing the bright matcha flavor (which is usually a rare feat for anything with banana flavor, as the banana usually overpowers all). The matcha einspanner was equally enjoyable, with a smooth matcha base and a sweet, velvety topping that gave the drink a nice balance and a little extra depth. What makes Phê appealing is that it takes classic matcha drinks and gives them a fun, dessert-like twist without feeling heavy-handed. The café has a stylish, buzzy energy that fits the Capitol Hill scene well, and the whole experience feels current and thoughtfully put together. During peak hours we had quite a wait (mayhbe 15-20 mins) until we ordered, but service was quite fast. Seating can also be a bit limited so it gets crowded quite soon. But this place is indeed one of the best matcha places in Seattle!
Heard about this place the day before going, but had no idea this was the place until I saw a line out the door and wanted to know what it was for lol. Def worth the wait and the hype. Many different types of coffee and matcha as well as hojicha. Tried the banana pudding matcha-- delicious! And snagged a spam musubi- it hit. They do have a food menu as well.
Finally got to try it myselfl!! When I first heard of Phe, they were a small little stand, and I immediately wanted to go. It was always so busy, which is great for the business, but made it difficult for me, so I was so happy to finally set time aside for it. I tried their classic matcha latte with Hanami flavor profile. It was smooth and you could tell it was made with good quality matcha. My partner tried their Matcha Einspanner, which was definitely sweeter and was so delicious when the foam mixed in. Next time, I would love to get the opportunity to try their famous banana matcha and maybe give some of their coffee a try!
Food+ drinks: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 My friends and I made sure to stop by this spot while we were in Seattle, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We went around 11 in the morning, and it was PACKEDDDD. The inside was completely full, and there was even a line out the door, so I honestly didn't think our group of 4 would find seating. The line moved really fast tho, and we managed to grab one of the viet style low table and chair setups that you'd typically see on the street back home, I liked it a lot. The drinks and food also came out surprisingly quickly despite how busy it was. We ordered a lot to try! Drinks: 1 phe muoi $6.75 1 matcha einspanner $8.75 1 earl grey matcha $9 1 banana pudding matcha latte $11 1 hojicha latte $6.50 Their matcha was smooth, no astringency, I wished it was more matcha taste bc it's a little light but that's just me bc I like umami matcha. Food: Phe Sliders $13 MUSTTTT GET!! My group absolutely devoured these. The rolls were soft and airy, and somehow the sliders still felt light and not too heavy. The aioli was sooooo yum we scrape every bits of it lolllll. I'd honestly come back just for this dish alone. xoi chay $15- Really good breakfast option. The sticky rice was soft and chewy, and all of the toppings came together really well. Easily my new favorite spot. I get why it's so popular on social media, and I'll definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in Seattle for sure!!
I got the early grey matcha, which was pretty but a bit bland in the matcha taste. The phe den was great, with a rich flavor that was almost savory. We also got the musubi on a whim but really enjoyed them. Cute interior and vibes. Line can long but the staff work quickly to keep things moving.
When considering value, I want to say 4 stars but I think it's justified to be 4.5 and round up. I really paid around $25 for two drinks, but they were tasty so I'm bouncing back and forth here. Most people have claimed this is the best matcha spot and it's easily up there among the top. Visited on a Friday morning just before rush hour. Lots of people were already seated working and a ton started lining up after us. Honestly surprised the wait hasn't died down more. Not sure what the cup sizes are, but there is a small and large. I'd guess small around 12oz and large around 16oz, but unsure because they like to use the shorter, stubbier cups. Price is steep. Oat milk still costs extra and is not priced in. Sweetness can't be lowered. Most matcha drinks have set sizes and no flexibility. Those are some of the main downsides. Beyond that, everything such as ambiance, coziness, third space vibes, and quality are upsides. Banana Pudding Matcha Latte - this drink is so good. Matcha super smooth, complementing the banana pudding with a soft texture. Matcha is a bit on the sweeter side and cannot be unsweetened, but caters to the general majority. Banana flavor elevates that sugar a bit more but not overly so. Definitely more of a dessert but also a hefty $11 price point. Strawberry Matcha Latte - while the matcha is again smooth, whisked well, and umami, the strawberry jam is nothing special. I personally see strawberry matcha as the older, safe choice for those who disliked the bitter or grassy tones of matcha. Similar idea here, which I think detracts from the quality of the matcha here. Would skip this for any of the other drinks.
The matcha drinks here are soooo good. I did think they were expensive for the size but I understand because the quality of the drinks are crazy. The banana pudding matcha is straight up dessert- their banana pudding cream is heavenly, and I will be thinking about it for a while. I got the hojicha drink as well and it was also super yummy but I think the banana one takes the top spot here. The line is usually long but drinks come out fairly quickly! Tonsss of people here so finding a table or seat might be hard. read more
WOW Inside is huge, lots of room for seating and a line and does get very busy! Well decorated, felt very much like a shop that would be in Vietnam. Service was good; kind, patient and quick. Drinks are good! The Phe Keo is VERY sweet but I love sweet drinks. Matcha Einspanner was just okay, the cream top had some weird mucus-y texture clumps. I'd come back just for the coffee tho. 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
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
I was looking for a good place for matcha and this place kept popping up. I love how concentrated their matcha drinks are. I ordered the Matcha Einspanner - the sweet cream top was very pleasing. My partner ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte and also really loved it. The staff even gave us some tips on how to take cute photos with our drinks Cute place, you should definitely try! read more
The line was out the door which seems common, here. The cafe is small, crowded, but super aesthetic! They ran out of the banana pudding matcha which is the one I really wanted to try. I got their matcha eisen-something and it was pretty good! I was disappointed that I paid almost $10 for my cup not to be full (ordered less ice), so keep that in mind when you order. It's a pricey cafe, but worth the try! read more
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! read more

I just don't think it's worth the wait. It really does not taste special from any other matcha place. The staff were really nice! However, the atmosphere is not nice at all because of the crowdedness and just impatience seeping throughout the place from the customers. Would not go again. Expensive and too long of a wait. read more

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! read more
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. read more

Line was out the door and nearly up the street on a Sunday afternoon where we ended up waiting 45 minutes just to order since there was only one person on register. Wish they would add another cashier or move to kiosk ordering. Drinks only took about 10 minutes to get so they're pretty efficient there. Banana pudding matcha cost $11 and was not worth the price. Weak flavors in both the pudding and matcha, and small in size (considering I'm from the Bay, that's saying a lot). I do appreciate how they open the garage door for more space and natural lighting. Makes the cafe feel less crowded. read more
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. read more
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. read more
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! read more
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 read more

this was one of two cafes my boyfriend and i went to while visiting seattle and overall we thought it was pretty okay. the good: i really liked the interior, there was a good amount of seating and it felt very airy and open since the whole front wall/window opens. there's also a bar where you can watch the matcha being whisked! and the girl taking our order was really kind. the bad: the banana pudding matcha was $11 we didn't realize until it was rung up but $11 seemed pretty crazy compared to what we're used to in socal. it was also quite underwhelming and we felt it lacked flavor considering the price. there is also no real waiting area, if you're able to snag a table or seat it's pretty loud inside so you probably won't hear your order being called from the bar, otherwise you have to wait outside the shop in the sidewalk which blocks the walkway when it's busy. overall i thought it was just okay. it was good to try once but i don't think i'd come back. read more

Terrible service... My friends and I were so excited to try this place out because we have had heard great things. We did a roadtrip from LA to Oregon and then Oregon to Washington. We were finally in the area to try Phe out and once we got there we were not greeted by the staff but with a long line. This only meant the drinks are really good right? Once it was our time to order, the lady behind the register had the most bothered face on her. I understand, dealing with a "rush" of paying customers, it can get overwhelming, but it shouldn't be taken out on others. Anyways, we tried very hard to be nice to the worker and we asked questions about the matcha to get an idea on which to order but her attitude was completely disrespectful. I don't think this worker wanted to answer any of our questions or even help us at all. She laughed and with an attitude said "ha what?" when my friend asked about the matcha quality and notes that can be expected. Again, I understand working in customer service can get overwhelming sometimes, especially on a Friday morning but this experience just made us very uncomfortable and not welcoming in the slightest. It also makes it difficult to justify a $12 matcha when the staff is horrible (receipt in picture). The drink itself was good and the presentation was great but I'm sure you can find the same elsewhere in the city with much better customer service. read more

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! 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
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!!! 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
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. 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
