    Strawberry Matcha Latte and Banana Pudding Matcha Latte
    Generous Y.

    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.

    Hojicha Latte with Oat Milk
    Anh T.

    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.

    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.

    Honeycomb Coffee

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Pistachio hojicha and matcha kloud
    Kristine N.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    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.

    Inside
    Vince P.

    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!
