    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Matcha and hojicha banana pudding
    Ethan W.

    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

You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

    What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.
