Some serious good matcha over here! Every cup is whisked to order so you know it's fresh and high quality. Based on what type of matcha you liked (floral vs earthy), you pick the type. Then you can pick flavors for the matcha. I decided to be bold and try a new flavor today and I got the earl grey matcha, which was good, but I still think the strawberry one is the best. The matcha here is legit and you can tell by the color that it's good. There was a good amount of seating with bar seats and tables. This place is always packed so I got mine to go to continue to explore Seattle. Highly recommend when you're in the Seattle area.
You order at a kiosk. I went the last week they were open at their original location. Now they have moved to the Westlake center plaza area right across from the station. They have three different types of matcha available (each with varying profiles like floral or earthy etc) It was nearly $10 for the matcha because they only had their +$1 option which... I feel like if that's your only matcha powder available at that moment customers shouldn't be forced to succumb to that extra $1 charge but I get it, businesses have to keep making profit, I'm sure that powder is more expensive than the others but the matcha flavor was not strong/was over powered by the strawberry anyways. Overall good flavor for a not too sweet strawberry milk.
Conveniently located where is walkable to other Seattle attractions downtown and to our hotel. It was quite packed with a line on the weekend and you sdo see them weighing and whisking the matcha for consistency. Price is up there, but only $0.60 for milk substitutes. The matcha flavor is definitely there, but feels lighter than others? You can pay additional for extra strength but feels a little nickel and dimey. Overall, its a beautiful space!
i drank this so fast i forgot to take a pic. anyways, you've got to get the earl grey matcha it's soooo good. U really taste the earl grey. 11/10. new location is slightly bigger than their old spot but still pretty cramped and can get crowded. thankfully there's seating outside for the warmer days. service was super fast and staff was nice in giving recs as they have three diff matcha types & i wasn't sure which to get. but go go go if u haven't, i get the hype.
4.5 stars. Solid place. This is located in the heart of downtown (I accidentally walked right past it actually since the google directions were a little confusing). Difficult to get to if you want to park but if you're just in the area a worthy place to stop by. Inside is very simple, limited seating but several people working at the counter. I came during a weekday early afternoon and there was a short line to the door. They are very efficient and I tried the earl grey matcha (which comes with predeterminted sweetness and an optional cap so you do not have to choose). I chose the chiran matcha (after tax and tip, probably around $9-10), there is a floral type that is $1 more and a ceremonial grade that is double the price. I don't know too much about matcha so did not opt for any extras but you can add on an extra 2 g to your drink. The customization can get a little overwhelming if you don't know about the different types of sweeteners for example, and there is an upcharge for different types of milk. This was a very well made drink with beautiful layers and each drink is whisked and made with care. I will definitely try the strawberry matcha next time I come here.
I enjoyed my recent trip to Taz Matcha. I tried their Earl Gray Matcha Latte with oat milk. I chose the Chiran Harvest matcha, which had a more earthy and robust flavor that stood out in a good way, and it paired well with the early grey. This was a unique and well-balanced latte, and my friends enjoyed it in their seating area where you take off your shoes and kneel and/or sit down, more similar to some restaurants and cafes in Japan. This is a spot I would love to come back to for high-quality matcha!
A very solid cafe with a gorgeous interior in service of an authentic Japanese experience. You can tell that they pride themselves on quality drinks as the baristas really took care in making each drink. The taste was amazing. The matcha tasted fresh and earthy which is unlike a lot of other spots that just use the cheap manufactured powder. I will be back to try the other drinks definitely.
One of my favorite matcha spots on Seattle! I've been stopping by here and there for a drink before I head to work. You order through a kiosk (it's probably cashless) and can easily customize your drink. They only have 2 kiosks so if it gets busy, the shop can get a little crowded since it's not very big. There's only a couple seats at the counter and two tables on the tatami mats. And a public(?) restroom (no code or key required). But the employees are efficient and make the drinks pretty quick so I never have to wait long. I've visited right when they opened and also during the day, and they always seem to have customers so it definitely seems like the spot to go to if you're craving matcha! I've tried at least 3 of their drinks with different customizations and they have all been delicious! I highly recommend ordering your drink with oat milk for some extra flavor. I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side and they always make it just right with the matcha thoroughly whisked so no large clumps at the bottom of my cup. If you're dissatisfied with how they make your drink, just let them know (i think they're willing to fix it for you, based on a sign i read at the shop). I typically spend an average of $10 for a drink here due to my customizations but I think it's worth it for the quality. They have an online shop too if you want to order their matcha to make at home. If you enjoy matcha, I totally recommend stopping by! It's for sure quality ceremonial matcha and they sell hojicha too :)
picture looks bad ik... but the drink was amazing!! the matcha latte with the foam made the drink strong and creamy, which is something i like with my matcha. felt like the sweetness was the perfect amount and the drink was average priced. def would rec getting the combo if you like a strong matcha flavor! yummy rating: 9/10
Amazing. I was extremely impressed with the high quality matcha. The interior is inviting, cozy, serene, and simply beautiful. Loved the modern Tatami seating. I stopped around 11am on a weekday and I was the only one in there. Once I left more people started stopping by. Tablet ordering style but staff immediately welcomed me in and approached me asked if I needed help or had any questions which was nice. I ordered an iced Strawberry Matcha with no added sweetness for my man and I chose the iced Earl Grey Matcha for myself. The matcha was high quality and soooo delicious! I tried the Strawberry Matcha and stirred it a bit more thoroughly for my boyfriend and it was super yummy! He was very pleased and agreed it was probably the best Strawberry Matcha he has had. My Earl Grey Matcha was definitely the best Earl grey Matcha I've tried compared to other cafes. The Earl Grey flavor was sweet but not too sweet and amazing flavor that paired perfectly with the smooth high quality matcha. I drank my beverage fast because it was so good but tried to be slow so I could really savor the flavor it was so dang delicious!!! The interior had dim, romantic, and calming lighting. Beautiful bar seating and modern Tatami seating. The painting on the wall was beautiful and my favorite part of the interior. The drinks are on the pricier side but definitely high quality as mentioned many times and very very yummy. I would definitely return and recommend!! Super impressed with the Earl Grey Matcha :)
TAZ is hands down one of my favorite matcha spots in Seattle. As someone coming from the bay/tried uji matcha in japan , TAZ offers some solid ceremonial grade matcha. Both the strawberry and earl grey matcha with oat milk we ordered were perfectly creamy and rich in matcha flavor. You can tell they use high quality matcha since they hand whisk each drink and there are many flavor options you can customize for your drink. Very traditional Japanese ambiance but seating and parking is limited as it is in downtown Seattle. I do have to say price is a bit expensive at around $9-10/cup but very well worth it given rising costs+ comparable to other cafe drinks in the area. I get this as a treat every so often. Servers are very friendly and great at explaining menu items and you can purchase matcha bowls, whisks and matcha powders in store as well. Must visit if you are a matcha connoisseur like me
Taz Matcha is THAT spot Tried their strawberry & mango matcha and both were unreal--fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet (the way it should be). The staff was so warm and welcoming, and the space? Straight out of Japan
I believe the interior is japandi style, creating a minimalist and warm environment. Given that we went on a weekend, it was a bit overwhelming inside since it was crowded and small. Despite that, service was relatively quick. There are also two bathrooms, no code or key needed. Strawberry Matcha w/extra matcha and less sweet (~$10) - 4/5 I got the Chiran matcha which was earthy and creamy. The strawberry puree was slightly sweet and could have been tarter. I wish I got extra strawberry puree because before I knew it, only the matcha was left. Earl Grey Matcha - 5/5 Great balance and ratio of earl grey-matcha-and milk! The earl grey was subtle, not overpowering the matcha. If I had to choose between the earl grey and strawberry I would get the earl grey! Quality matcha, but would only come here if I was in the area. Great drinks, but not AMAZING!

Short line on a Saturday morning but moved quick! Early grey matcha tasted amazing! I was able to tase both the early grey and matcha , and it wasn't too sweet either. Vibes inside are nice, but seating will fill up fast read more
Visited Seattle this week and my friends recommended this spot! Definitely did not disappoint! I got the Matcha Latte with a Vanilla Cream Top! The matcha had floral notes and was creamy and sweet! It tastes so much like the good matcha I get in LA and definitely lives up to the hype! Even though I like my matcha sweet, I do have to admit the matcha here is VERY sweet. I would definitely order less sweet next time, especially since the cream top adds sweetness to it. Drinks are on the pricier side ($10+), but I think it's cool that you can choose to adjust the drinks based on your preference of type of matcha powder, type of cream top, and type of sweetener. Street parking can be hard to find; there's a parking lot nearby, but it costs a lot to park there. Would highly recommend being dropped off and have someone wait in the car! The interior is a very small space with only a couple tables available. Great for small groups! Would definitely return the next time i'm back in Washington! read more
As a self-proclaimed strawberry matcha fan, I've been to Taz Matcha a couple of times now, and my experience has definitely evolved. The biggest win here is the matcha itself. It's smooth, clean, and well whisked. No bitterness, no chalky aftertaste. You can tell they're using quality matcha and actually know how to prepare it. That said, consistency has been a little hit or miss. My first strawberry matcha was honestly pretty bland, especially for the price. I expected more depth and strawberry flavor and left a bit underwhelmed. On my second visit, though, it was much better. Creamier, more balanced, and finally hit that strawberry matcha sweet spot I was hoping for. The drinks are definitely on the expensive side, so I think expectations naturally run high. When it's done right, it feels worth it. When it's not, you notice. Overall, I'd still come back, especially for the quality of the matcha base alone. I just hope the execution stays consistent because when they get it right, it's really good. read more
I stopped by Taz Matcha after spending some time at Pike Place Market, as it is within walking distance. We came near opening and there was no line, though it began building after we left. Their menu is quite small but very detailed. I think it was cool that they allowed you to chose which matcha powder they would use, and had the option to make it a thicker, stronger matcha by adding additional matcha for extra cost. Nondairy milk was 60 cents, which is more reasonable than many places, though the drinks themselves are quite pricy. My adzuki matcha latte with oat milk and the least expensive matcha powder, came out to around $9. Service was very quick and friendly. I sat at the bar and got to see my drink being whisked in front of me. They smeared the red bean paste along the cup, so it took me a minute to scrape it off the sides and mix it in. However, the drink was excellent! The adzuki paste added a nice earthiness and body to the drink while still being thin enough to mix in without clumping. The matcha was a gorgeous green, and the two flavors were very harmonious together. I got my drink half sweet, and it was perfect for me. It is honestly pretty easy to mess up both matcha and the red bean paste, so I was thrilled to find a place that nailed not only both components, but combined them in such a harmonious and delicious way. While pricy, you are definitely getting what you pay for. read more
Their matcha quality is great and the cream tops are the absolute highlight! This place often has a giant line, especially on the weekends but it tends to move quite fast! The service is very good and everyone is very friendly and anticipates needs well. At times, the service can be almost too intense because it is coupled with such a high intensity environment due to how many people they serve. Hopefully a good flow can be found! I usually get a matcha latte with a cream top and often their rotating flavor is a great pick. Some of my favorites so far include the blueberry, matcha, and coffee cream top! They also have a ton of customization options so it might be good to take a look at the menu before so you are not overwhelmed with choice. It is also only about a 8 minute walk from the Westlake link station and a 10 minute walk from Pike Place which makes it a pretty good location to stop by if you are exploring the area. I would say that the parking situation may not be worth the headache if you are not already in the area for something else or if you are not transiting. It is a small space with limited seats so studying or staying for a long time may not be possible. Overall a really great matcha option, especially for people who want a strong and unique matcha! read more
Taz Matcha is easily one of my favorite cafes for a great cup of matcha. They offer two types of matcha: the Chiran Harvest, which is earthy and robust, and the Chashi Blend, which is floral with a smooth umami finish. I personally love the Chashi Blend because of its subtle floral sweetness. It gets busy every time you come here, but the drinks are consistently well made. You'll wait in line to order from an iPad kiosk, and I really appreciate that they use jasmine as a sweetener instead of the usual agave, it adds a unique touch that complements the matcha beautifully. Their strawberry matcha is well-known for a reason, it's not overly sweet and blends together perfectly. A helpful tip I learned: matcha tea is made with water, while a matcha latte is made with milk. Good to know when you're deciding what to order. The only downside is the space, it's a small shop with limited seating, so don't expect to stay long, find a table, or do any laptop work. But if you're here purely for quality matcha, it's absolutely worth the stop. read more
Definitely worth the wait!!! I got both the matcha latte and hojicha little with a black sesame topper. The matcha latte was very earthy and not overly sweet. But the star of the show was the hojicha latte. It had just the right amount of sweetness and roasted flavor. If you love a more robust drink, definitely get the hojicha little and add the black sesame cream on top. There are seating areas in the café, but the cafe is very small. So, it would be a little difficult if you are trying to hang out inside. read more
I'm taking off a whole star due to the parking situation-- it sucks. But I guess if you live in downtown it's not bad for you to just walk here. Everytime I drive here, I had to circle around a bunch of times before finally parking. Anyways, fast forward. There is almost always a line here, whether it be sort of short or long. But it does go by pretty fast. When you enter, you can go to whoever is able to take your order at the counter as there are multiple people able to do that. You can customize your matcha with the amount of matcha, to add what syrup if any, amount of ice and any foam flavor to add. The wait for the drink also is pretty fast. I would say less than 5 minutes as they are constantly whisking matcha. I would say Ive never been disappointed by any drinks Ive gotten here. Taz is in my top 5. read more
Hands down one of my favorite matchas I've ever tasted! It was so refreshing and delicious- not too sweet or too bitter. We came in on a weekend at around 3pm and it was busy but the line went by very fast. The inside is so cute also, it looks like a Japanese tea room! I highly recommend everyone try this spot. read more

It's a nice ambiance having a matcha made in front of you if seated by the counter. The green tea is prepared the traditional Japanese style. Only it's not prepared in a ceremonial manner. The place was busy when we got there and tried the Strawberry Matcha (less sweet). It was good! To make the place feel more Japanese, a tatami (floor) is set up specifically to enjoy a matcha. read more
Great quality matcha! I ordered the strawberry matcha. All their fruit blended matchas only come iced which sucked cause I was super cold and was in desperate need of a hot drink. It was packed, the shop is relatively small and cozy but great vibes. Perfect if you're coming and going but I wouldn't recommend this place for a study session or anything like that. They do make the drink in front of you, a bit of interactive shoe going on but we couldn't see well. I will say I'm not too keen on their location. They're close to westlake center. We had to walk all the way from pike. The drink itself was very good. Nice quality matcha. The strawberry flavor I selected paired well with the matcha. Not too sweet, textured as It had strawberry chunks. Very refreshing. There are no cashiers. It's self checkout. I'm assuming there's an add on since people will most likely not be tipping. Very messy as well. There were receipts everywhere Would come back for sure. read more
As a matcha lover, anytime I see a matcha spot I have to stop by. I visited Taz on an early weekday afternoon and was surprised to see a line -- I hadn't realized how popular this place was. Thankfully, the line moved pretty quickly. The interior is bright, clean, and minimal. You order at the counter, then you can watch the staff prepare drinks. One person is dedicated to whisking the matcha, while the others focus on mixing and assembling the drinks, which is fun to watch. They offer both ceremonial-grade matcha and a higher-priced competition-grade option. I tried the red bean matcha, which was rich and flavorful. The slight bitterness of the matcha balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the red beans. Seating includes bar seats and a few tables, but you might have to wait a bit since it does get busy. As someone who goes to Asia often, I can't help but feel that food and drink prices in Seattle are on the higher side--but for good matcha, this spot is still worth a visit. read more
Another day, another great matcha from Taz. There's always a line out the door here. Their matcha is always really good and spot on. I love the vibes inside, though it can get quite crowded and busy. Always a solid go to for me. read more
There's no doubt that they serve high quality matcha. During our visit, we ordered 2 matcha lattes (one of each blend). We chose agave for sweetener, and I even added an extra 2 grams of matcha to my drink. When the drink was served, the agave was at the bottom of the cup and was hard to mix in because of how thick and sticky it is. Even with 4-6gs of matcha, it wasn't as strong as I prefer. I would definitely come back to try again, but admittedly I was a bit let down with my experience. Overall, 4.5/5. Service is friendly. They're very knowledgable of the menu and ask questions to ensure they're getting your order right. Seating is limited to bar seating or tatami mat style. read more

the workers made my drink fairly quick despite how busy it was. the overall interior is very cozy and well-decorated. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha latte and it was very good - it did get watery so I recommend drinking it as quickly as possible. if you can afford to, definitely add 2g matcha to your drink if you like your matcha to shine through! also be careful when grabbing your drink at the bar table, I nearly dropped mine because I was unaware of its slanted edges. did not get any interaction from the workers but I also ordered from the kiosk and left right away due to limited seating so there's that. read more
Well-decorated cafe with both tatami floor and bar seating options. I get it's to see the drink inside, but plastic cups really don't fit the ambiance they put a lot of work into creating. The matcha is hand-whisked to order, but it is still pricey. The matcha was mild, and when paired with the flavor options (I got a banana milk matcha) you only get the faintest matcha flavor. I'll have to come back to try just their plain matcha to get a better feel. read more
I came to Taz on a Tuesday around 4 PM and lucked out since the line only took about 15 minutes! Speaking with some people in line, they said there's usual a wait out the door. From the start, the worker was super nice and let me try a sample because I could not decide on the foam flavor. I ended up getting the strawberry matcha with black sesame. The drink took a little over 10 minutes, but they packed it up nicely for me since I was taking it to go. Overall, the matcha was really good and I would definitely come back. It is fun to see them make the drinks right in front of you. Only thing is the seating is very limited, so it is better for a quick stop than for hanging out. read more

I felt like this place was so hyped but imo it Just tasted ok even with 6g of matcha (1.75 extra) which was reaching 10$. Be sure to ask for no/less ice because lots of Ice is fills up a majority of the cup already pretty small cup. Really pricey too at 9.53 with their cheaper matcha latte and 6g. I know a lot of people here liked the strawberry matcha but with every add on being an additional 1$ to me it just seems a little unreasonable. 25 minute wait in line at 2:15 on Sunday afternoon. Interior is pretty nice but pretty limited in seating and crowded. That's said the Matcha is good but I don't think it justifies the quantity, price, and wait. Side note: They've also opened up the store in the evening but only for cocktails, no matcha drinks available. read more

The hype is real, but has fortunately died down a little. While the Chashi blend is out, they still offer the Chiran Harvest for matcha. Little pricey for a small cup that looks to be 12oz but priced for the high quality so I'd round up a 4.5 with interest to try the Chashi. Beautiful ambiance with a cozy tatami experience but definitely need some luck to enjoy that full experience. Awesome service, super friendly and welcoming. Matcha Latte w/ Matcha Cloud - definitely one of the smoothest blends I've had, so I understand the hype. I felt like 25% sugar was reasonable, though needs to be mixed well. Earthy roots were present, no bitterness, and whisked to perfection as there was no powder taste. read more

I love the interior! It has traditional seating where you take off your shoes and seems like if you can grab one of the two tables it'd be a nice place to get some work done. The art is pretty and there's bar style seating where you can see them whisk the matchas! I came on two separate occassions so I am worried a bit about consistency. The first time I came it was really good but the second time it tasted pretty watery. I'm keeping the rating at 5 stars because the first time was very good and hopefully the second time awas just an off day. It's cool that they have jasmine syrup but to be honest im not sure if I actually taste the jasmine but I'd get it regardless lol Chashi Matcha latte - this was the first one. although on the sweeter side, it had good matcha to milk and water ratio! 3.5/5 Chashi strawberry matcha latte - strawberries are on the jammier side instead of fresh which im not the biggest fan of. was watery for some reason. 1.75/5 Hojicha latte - pretty decent roasted flavor without being bitter! 2.75/5 read more
super disappointed with my last visit to taz :( i was excited to try their seasonal mango matcha latte and it was not up to par to the other times i've been :,) my last 2-3 visits, i've recently noticed that drink quality has gone down significantly and im not sure what exactly changed as everything was off from the actual quality to the flavor profiles read more
Exceptional matcha quality with unique additions and homemade strawberry syrup. Taz has finally given Seattle a spot for good quality matcha (move over, Nana's). All the drinks are hand-whisked and freshly prepared. I loved the strawberry syrup--not too artificial or sugary, while still adding just the right amount of sweetness. The interior of the café is beautiful, with a clean, minimalistic feel complemented by traditional Japanese tatami mats. Service was a bit slow, but that was mainly due to the large lines. I recommend going during a weekday in the late afternoon. One of my absolute go-to spots for high quality matcha. read more
My friend who lives in Seattle wanted to try Taz Matcha and while Vancouver isn't particularly devoid of matcha cafes, this piqued my interest due to the different types of matcha offered and unique branding. When we arrived a slight line had already formed. The interior is oriental with tatami style seating as well as bar seating. I really liked the art on the walls! My boyfriend and I wanted to share the strawberry matcha and the red bean, but to our disappointment, the red bean was sold out. Since the red bean wasn't available, my boyfriend decided to run the risk and order the competition grade ceremonial matcha which was around $15-16 if I remember correctly. The price was lowkey outrageous and so my expectations began to brew. I like that the matcha is customizable with 5 different adjustments ranging from sweetness/choice of sweetener, matcha strength, milk choice, and cream top. I chose mine with oat milk (no extra charge!) and a bit of sweetener while my boyfriend chose oat and no sweetener. By the time we began waiting for our drinks, the line had started pouring out the door. I couldn't believe the traction this place was getting. When we received our drinks, a few spots at the bar opened up. The taste of the competition grade matcha was exquisitely deep and nutty without any grass-y aftertastes and lives to its name although I highly doubt I will get it again due to the price. The strawberry matcha was also delicious and not too sweet. The barista behind the counter was also very friendly and offered us water while we sat. I would love to return! read more
We made multiple trips to Taz during our time in Seattle. I'd recommend anyone to stop by if they're near Belltown/Pike Place Market. Of all the drink we tried, we liked their Hojicha Latte and Red Bean Matcha the most. You can taste the tea in each drink (no clumps or grit from the powders) and was the perfect amount of sweetness. The only drink I'd deter others from trying is the Shogun Matcha. It's not bad - we definitely could taste its higher quality. However, I cannot say it's worth the money for me personally. The other drinks on their menu and plenty good. The interior decorations were so cozy. They have a bar and also a section for floor seats. It does get very busy, so being able to find a seat will be challenging at times. But, don't worry, they pump out drinks quickly. read more

I love the look of this place and that the seating area is setup like a traditional Japanese tea-house, and the staff were great as well. I had a strawberry matcha and the matcha has a nice earthy taste that wasn't too bitter, the strawberry puree was great and it went with the matcha super well. read more
Taz Matcha is a small traditional matcha shop in the heart of downtown Seattle. I didn't know this was here but I was really delighted to try their hojicha latte. The inside was cute and there is a small seating area and a bar. They hand whisk each drink. They have various changing syrups and foam tops! Staff: nice (5/5) Sanitation status: (5/5) Hojicha with Salted vanilla cream and jasmine syrup (5/5) The hojicha was made really well. I didn't really taste the jasmine in the syrup too much but the syrup made the latte taste good. The salted vanilla cream top was a very good pairing to make the latte even creamier. read more

I finally got to try Taz Matcha after the hype died down a bit! I got the strawberry matcha with jasmine as the sweetener. I'd say it was overall a really good matcha, but my only complaint is that I wish I made it sweeter. Our server was extremely helpful and gave me many suggestions. I believe one of the owners was talking to my boyfriend and I at the bar area, he was very funny and made the experience even more meaningful. Despite it being on the smaller side, the vibes were there. There was a traditional tatami area and a bar area for other customers. Very simple and minimalistic. Music choice was good too! read more

I visited from California and I do say this is good matcha! I recommend it. The service was quick and easy, I didn't experience much of a line. Although I did wish the interior had a restroom and a place to study. I got the earl grey matcha which turned out fantastic. My friends got other drinks and they had a similar experience read more
Probably one of the best matcha latte's I've had in awhile! Came across Taz Matcha while strolling the streets of Seattle. Stone ground Matcha just hits different with rich flavor. I love how you are able to customize the whole drink. 50% sweetness is already pretty sweet! Just the perfect blend. The staff at Taz Matcha were so welcoming and helpful with ordering since this was my first time at the cafe. This is such a fun place to chat over matcha. A very relaxed cafe atmosphere. I can't wait to come back! read more

high quality matcha and was very delicious! i would recommend to anyone. the inside is also super cool. read more
I appreciate the fact that Taz measures out all their components so it maintains the consistency and quality. I got the strawberry matcha latte and it was pretty good. The matcha is delicious and earthy - pair that with the strawberry jam that's in it and it's great! I will say I wish the straw was more sturdy since it's really hard to mix the drink altogether. Staff was okay and would be back in the area. Note that if there's a line, it'll take some time to get a drink.There was only 3 or 4 people in front of me but it took about 15 minutes to get my drink. There's also two tables indoor which are tatami style. read more
A restful retreat on the busy streets of downtown. We were pleasantly surprised by the modern interior with a blend of Japanese aesthetics, a tatami mat for seating and barstools. We ordered two drinks - one matcha and one hojicha latte. A bit on the pricier end $$ but you do get to customize the drinks quite a bit. Service wasn't the nicest tbh, we arrived and while reading the sign on the door we were brought to the right counter and asked what we want right away. We had not even gotten the chance to look at a menu to make a decision.. very odd service. When we got our drinks it took some time to receive them, the aesthetics of the interior were great but the presentation was in to-go cups. All in all an okay experience the matcha was good and the hojicha was a bit too sweet still at 25% . All in all about a 3 star experience :) maybe if they get less busy it will be better, but service could definitely improve to match the aesthetic. read more
LOVED THIS SPOT!!! The service is so kind and friendly. We came a few days in a row while visiting, and the staff remembered our names after one visit? Impressive. The drinks are amazing. I especially loved the Hojicha with black sesame and 25% sweetener. The customization options are so cool and let you experiment, but the staff can definitely guide you. Wish I had this spot down the street from me. Seattle has a real winner here. read more

Definitely some good matcha! I came on a Monday when there wasn't too long of a wait, despite it being such a nice sunny day. The inside is really cool and has some traditional style tables and also seating at the bar. We were lucky enough to get some seats at the bar when it was our turn. They hand whisk all the matcha which was nice to see. I got the red bean matcha with oat milk and jasmine syrup, which was a decent size especially for the price. The flavor of the matcha was definitely there, and I loved the red bean though I wish there was more. These are not particularly sweet which is nice. I also appreciated how they didn't charge more for oat milk. Overall, a great experience! read more
Short description: Social media hyped mediocre matcha shop. Visited on a Friday late morning to try their matcha drink. Parking around is hard, I would recommend walking/ubering around. When I got inside, it was crowded inside with younger crowd trying for a hype. Staffs weren't very friendly, seemed a little chaotic inside. Waited about 15-20 mins for a drink. Paid around $9 without any extra things. Tried regular whole milk and regular sweetness because I wanted to taste matcha. The matcha drink tasted like just milk and very blend. No where close to the real Japanese matcha drinks. Didn't really get to taste matcha at all. Very disappointing. read more
