    My favorite spot in town for matcha and coffee. The quality and service are both consistently great, and even though there can be pretty long lines on weekends, they usually move quickly. They freshly whisk the matcha for each drink. Everything I've tried so far has been really good, and the taste has been very consistent. Their drinks also aren't overly sugary, which I really appreciate. These are the best matcha drinks I've had, and I loved their Vietnamese coffee as well. I'm someone who likes to bring a book and spend some time at a cafe while trying different drinks, so the only thing I personally wish was a little different is the atmosphere. The grey, garage-style decor isn't quite my cozy-cafe aesthetic , but that's completely a personal preference and definitely doesn't take away from how good the drinks and service are. Absolutely worth a visit, especially if you love matcha!

    Really wanna loved this spot as our friends have been raving about it saying it's the best matcha they've had. Besides, the long line kinda made it even look more convincing. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, but probably I had set my expectation too high and also thought the steep price needed to be justified by what we got. Got the Itsumi, which was the best quality offered and I thought it's just decent and I could call out better quality matcha I had had, coming at similar price. Also tried the Matcha Einspanner and wasn't much impressed. The space was so cool tho with chill industrial vibe. Got very busy and kinda hard to find seats especially in the afternoon.

    Came from out of town and was excited to try Phê since there aren't too many Vietnamese coffee shops in my city. When we got there, we came upon a huge crowd of people waiting around since the storefront is completely open to the sidewalk. One of the customers kindly directed us to the door off to the left, where you can join the line to place your order. I think there could be a clearer way to indicate this, since the crowd was blocking our view of where the line was (there was only one person in line at the time). The person taking our orders was friendly and we managed to find a seat for the two of us. It was pretty busy with both people on their laptops and people just having a chat. There are two single stall restrooms and free wifi available. It took a little while to get our drinks, which were a little smaller than I expected given how much they were. Despite this, I enjoyed my hojicha latte. It had a good sweetness level and I could really taste the hojicha flavor. I enjoyed my drink, but I would probably try out other places before coming back.

    Phe is a Vietnamese cafe that serves coffee, matcha, tea, and small Vietnamese bites. Phe is located in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. Whenever I am near Phe, there is always a line out the door. The day we visited was no exception. Luckily, it didn't take as long as we initially thought. I was quite ecstatic to try since it was my first time at Phe! I ordered an Iced Earl Grey Matcha. It is definitely one of the pricier matchas in the Seattle area. Thankfully the quality was great. It wasn't too sweet, or bitter at all. The interior is quite minimal, with a sleek modern touch. I really liked the little chairs and table that they have near the ordering/pick up area. It reminds me of Southeast Asia. A solid matcha spot in Seattle. I wouldn't mind coming back again to try their other drinks.

    Let's be honest, the line outside Phe was insane, It looped all the way behind the building. Good thing I was not alone. I have to say the line did moved rather fast. SERVICE 5/5 From the staff at the counter taking order to the gentleman who cleaned our table so meticulously, and brought out our food, everyone there was really friendly and pleasant. BANANA PUDDING MATCHA LATTE/SLIDERS/SHOESTRING FRIES 4/5 Banana Pudding Matcha Latte - 6/5 (One extra star!!) Each of us ordered the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte, and let me say if there is one drink you want to order here, get the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte!! It was so yummy, so delicious and the best!! It was a good quality matcha latte with a creamy dessert. Best of both world! Sliders 4/5 Love them!! The buns were so soft, and the sliders were so comforting. I had to dock off one point since they were not too generous with the bacon. Half of the sliders had no bacon :( Shoestring fries 4/5 I usually like crinkle cut fries, but these were so addicting until it just gotten too salty at the bottom. AMBIANCE 5/5 It was a huge place and even though it was packed, people here did not hoard the seats for hours. It was lively and I was so glad to come here during my first visit to Seattle. Now I can tell everyone the best banana pudding matcha latte is right here at Phe in Seattle!! 08.30.2026

    Iced hojicha and hot matcha

    Average Instagram hyped kind of place. 30 minute wait from getting in line to receiving our drinks, which isn't terrible but should be accounted for. Really beautiful and surprisingly large space! We got both Hojicha and Matcha drinks, and thought both were solid options. You won't be disappointed but also probably won't be wowed. They also serve with a bit too much ice, and have some of smallest cups I've ever seen in a cafe. At a fairly premium price point those choices can seem stingy. Fun to try but probably wouldn't make it a regular spot.

    Shani V.

    I had heard so many things about Phe and was eager to try it! I got a banana pudding matcha which was absolutely delicious! The matcha is great quality, the banana pudding is super delicious as well! The inside of Phe is super cute as well, there is seating but can definitely get pretty crowded during the weekends. Lots of natural light and some tables that could be great for meeting a friend or getting work done. The location is in a very busy area of capital hill, luckily I did not drive so parking was not an issue but expect street parking which could rang from $5-$7. I personally think that this place is not super realistic for an every day matcha. I paid about $12 after tip and that's pretty pricey. I'd say it's good for a treat though. I personally recommend visiting phe during the week day, during weekends you can expect long lines and a long wait.

    Everytime I past Phe there is a line out the door. I finally went on a Friday morning shortly after it opened and I'm glad I did! There was no wait, my friends coffee was ready a little faster than my matcha. There is plenty of seating and perfect for a little morning chat. I ordered the strawberry matcha with oat milk. It's definitely on the more expensive end for matcha, but I was really pleased with the flavor. It's on the sweet side, but the strawberry and oat milk dont overpower the matcha. I'm bummed they don't have a plain matcha, but would definitely come back for a sweet treat!

    Deserves all the love it's gotten as one of Seattle top matcha spots! There's always a line out the door but they're pretty efficient so it moves quickly. The matcha taste is strong and doesn't taste watered down but I think they could get rid of the unnecessary flower they pluck on top of the matchas for pure decoration lol. I've tried both their regular matcha latte and their matcha einspeinner but wouldn't pick the latter as the matcha flavor seems a lot more diluted.

    Banana matcha ...yummmmz
    Jaymie N.

    Finally tried Phe after having this place saved in my bookmarks for a while! I ordered myself the banana pudding matcha was a solid 9 out of 10. The matcha doesn't taste artificial at all and the toffee bits give it a nice little crunch and extra sweetness. There are also actual small chunks of banana in the banana pudding, which I wasn't expecting but really liked. The cafe is cute and modern.. definitely has that trendy Seattle cafe feel. The staff was friendly and service was good, but the wait was LONGGGG. We got in line around 11am and didn't get our drinks until around 11:45.. Parking is another thing to keep in mind. We found street parking, but it was $5 an hour...so that definitely adds up. And yeah... $12 for a drink. It's good, but definitely not a casual everyday matcha price. Still, I'd go back for the banana pudding matcha. Just maybe not when there's a huge line lol.

    Such a good little find in Seattle! We stopped at Phê and the bánh mì sandwiches were AMAZING. The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside, the filling was so flavorful, and everything tasted super fresh. Honestly one of those sandwiches you keep thinking about after the fact. We also loved the vibe of the cafe. Super cute, casual, and an easy stop while exploring Capitol Hill. Definitely wish we had something like this back home because I would be a regular!

    Ordered: - Banana Pudding Matcha - Good. One of the better banana pudding matcha I've had. - Earl Grey Matcha - Sad it was whole milk only, my guess is they steep it in milk instead of doing a syrup. - Matcha Einspanner - Strawberry Matcha - Wasn't a fan of their strawberry puree. I wouldn't get this one again. A decent amount of seating inside. Street parking only. Took about 15 ish minutes to get our drinks once we ordered.

    (4.5/5) Dropped by to try Phe in Capitol Hill, and I was really surprised to see the large amount of traffic despite it being the middle of the day on a Monday. This is a Vietnamese coffee-inspired drink bar with some bites on the side. I ordered the coconut matcha and banana pudding matcha latte. It took quite a while to get our drinks (30-40 min), but it was understandable as it was busy. Both drinks were really good and not too sweet! I was surprised that the banana pudding balanced the matcha underneath with some added banana chips on top for texture and real banana pieces for authentic flavour. I definitely preferred the Koko Kloud as it was light, refreshing, and easy to drink. Both drinks had quite an intense matcha flavour as well. Although the matcha flavour itself may not be comparable to some other places, the concept and fusion execution were really well done. There is ample seating inside for dine-ins, and I can see it being a cute study/working space. Would love to return to try some other drinks next time.

Then we shared 4 dishes: sardine tartine, dal soup, an heirloom tomato and cucumber salad and the halibut entree. Literally everything was delicious.

Everything was delicious! They did let us know in advance that the Dutch babies would take about 30 minutes, but it is worth the wait! It came out piping hot, oozing with blueberries and lemon ricotta! My only regret was not being able to try other things since we were headed to Pike Place right after, but I definitely do want to try their other Dutch babies / dinner items in the future!

We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions. Can't wait to come back to try their other food and bev options!

Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon.
