Finally came to try this spot and love it! Got the strawberry matcha and it has a strong matcha flavor and is less sweet than others I have had. The ube croffle was super yummy and had a great texture. The sac sac grape slushee was also really good and refreshing. The interior has a nice chill vibe. The drinks were made really fast and the staff was so friendly read more

Arrived random Tuesday afternoon craving some good matcha. The ambiance was very nice. There were lots of people on their computers studying, people chatting, etc. The layout, tables, chairs, other decor is all super cute. I got an iced matcha latte with regular milk. In their lattes, they use ceremonial grade matcha. I really appreciated the matcha to milk ratio! As you can see in the photos, even after it is mixed it is a nice medium green color. My biggest critique is just that the latte comes with automatic vanilla flavoring. I don't really like vanilla in matcha as it monopolizes the flavor, so much so that it is hard to taste the matcha. I cannot tell you how good the matcha was because I couldn't really taste it! That being said, I am very spoiled when it comes to matcha. If you like vanilla matcha, this place would be perfect for you. read more

Stopped by on a sunny afternoon. It's in a residential area, so might be a bit hard to find street parking, but not impossible. The place itself is super bright and open. Love the decor and especially the smiskis haha. It was super crowded when I went, so it was a bit too loud for any kind of studying/work but maybe different during weekdays. Waited in line for ~15 minutes. I ordered the lychee matcha ade less sweet, and then waited another ~5 minutes for our drink. The drink itself was super refreshing. I love that they had an option to make the drink less sweet because it was perfect for me. The lychee and matcha flavors worked in perfect harmony and the matcha flavor was rich. Overall, I'd come again for sure! Maybe when there's less people haha but I definitely want to try the rest of their menu. read more

I love how edgy and aesthetic the interior is. Everyone looked so happy chatting and sipping on their drinks with friends. I ordered the yoka einspanner with oat milk which tasted like a delicious coffee served on a cloud. It was light and airy, packed with flavor. It was so good. I also enjoyed watching them make matcha drinks. Customer service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. read more

Yoka Tea - Turon matcha, yoka einspanner, strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Such a wonderful addition to the madrona neighborhood! There is ample street parking around the neighborhood. The cafe is spacious and cozy at the same time- filled with a mixture of families, friends, and individuals enjoying the vibes while working or catching up over a splendid drink. With a well curated selection of snacks and goods available for purchase, Yoka is the cool new cafe that you'll want to spend some time inside. I tried both their matcha and coffee and was impressed by the flavors of both. The staff hand whisk their matcha and take the time to make sure the matcha was smooth and frothy. Espresso was pulled perfectly and not burnt at all. The team takes their time with their products. Kind and helpful staff. When I visited they were in their soft opening phase, but i'm excited to see Yoka tea expand and elevate! read more

I really wanted to like this place based off all the reviews but unfortunately we didnt think the matcha was great here compared to the matcha back in Cali. The interior decor though is super cute!! They had really cute phone charms, merch, and stationary - I even bought an angry bao bun post it note because it was so cute! They did a really good job with the decor and making it feel very trendy with an Asian twist (they had wasabi salt, yuzu salt, and other Asian seasoning they were selling too). Now onto the matcha - we ordered the einspanner and the Turon matcha since we saw those were very popular. The drinks were both really sweet and for some reason the syrup/sweetener didn't mix well with the drinks and didn't taste very homogenous. The banana flavor was really syrupy and artificial and didn't taste like actual banana and the flavor was too forward where it dulled the matcha too much. It was pretty busy for their soft opening and seats were pretty full. Overall I see potential here though if the drinks can be tweaked! read more

The banana bread drink was delicious, the service is personal and friendly and the ambiance in this place is fun and creative!

Yoka tea is amazing! Their matcha is delicious! I haven't gotten to try anything else on their menu yet but I have really high hopes for everything else! Matcha is smooth and vibrant, everything that I look for in a good iced matcha latte. The employees were super friendly too! :) it was really cozy in there with a lot of tables. There were many people working on something inside the cafe. Definitely 10/10 would recommend! read more

I got the iced Turon matcha and I loved it!! I went on a Thursday afternoon and there was barely a wait for the matcha. I enjoyed the neighborhood it's located in and was a nice shop overall. The banana purée at the bottom gave the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha, I'm very happy I tried this as I was in between getting the strawberry matcha. Overall the color and flavor of the matcha was great! read more

Yoka Tea was cooking up the best milk tea drinks as a pop-up before working their butts off to finally open a brick-and-mortar in Central District recently. The masterminds behind this place are brilliant designers as the spot is so chic and cozy in a crisply elegant way I've ever seen before honestly. There are rare and novel pantry goods that will excite your sensibilities from spiced flower tea kits and candied fruit peels (highly recommend) to sesame pastes and milk tea popcorn. The menu itself is big enough without being too much, though I've only been there the first week so it may change. One issue I had is I think the "brown sugar milk" drink is listed under "Milk Tea" on the menu when it doesn't have any actual tea, so I got it and was disappointed. Not sure if there was a boba milk tea option but I imagine so? I tried a mango coconut slushie, a jasmine tea and a sac sac (green grape korean drink with pieces of grape in it, very good) slushie and the sac sac slushie was by far my favorite. Tastes like a creamy honeydew slushy. The jasmine tea was refreshing but the flavors weren't quite balanced for me (needed more of a refreshing punch, a little watery) and the mango coconut slushie was also hitting that 6/10 when I wanted the flavors at an 11/10. But hey, this was week one, so give em a little slack. The croffles though are the best I've ever had, oh my god. Make sure you get one of those if you can make room for it. Tastes like an amazing croissant 'waffled' beautifully with homemade whipped cream thats got the perfect texture and flavor. The owners are absolute sweethearts and badasses and you won't be disappointed both supporting them and taking a chance on the amazing enterprise they've crafted together. read more

So excited to see more matcha cafes pop up around Seattle and Yoka did not disappoint! The first time my cousin and I both got the Turon matcha which worked really with the matcha. The second time I took my husband and he got the strawberry matcha and I tried the Yoka Einspanner. Both drinks were really great! Out of the three I think the Yoka Einspanner was my favorite! You can really taste their matcha and it was actually strong! Great ambiance. If Yoka was closer to where I live I could definitely see myself here every day! read more

SEATTLE has one of the best matcha places in the US - I feel LA is really trendy, but Seattle really focuses on the quality of Matcha and I really like yoka because nailed the ratio of Matcha and milk and as well as the flavor of combos. I really like the seasonal pumpkin flavor and even though it doesn't sound like it matches at first, the pumpkin pairs well with the Matcha, and the consistency adds a nice thickness read more

Yoka tea is Korean and Filipino owned so I have to support! It can get really busy so I recommend going on an early morning weekday! I always order the matcha einspanner ($7.99) and it hits every time. It's sweet but not too sweet and you can really taste the matcha! They reuse oatmilk boxes for drink carriers and it's the most clever and cutest thing ever! Free stickers! I would highly recommend! read more

Yoka tea is def my fave go-to for matcha in the broader Seattle area. Their ingredient quality and taste are consistent every time I visit, and the loading zone in front is a lifesaver for quick visits. I'm also a huge fan of how they use minor figures oat milk! Granted, their drinks come out a little pricey, but when I do feel like treating myself, I make sure to pay Yoka tea a visit. read more

I was so surprised by how much I liked this because I think I like this more than the most popular matcha einspanner places in LA right now! I got the Yoka Einspanner. I like how the drink doesn't primarily rely on sweetness to taste good, but on the flavor of the matcha. You have to mix the drink a lot, and after that the matcha flavor comes out so strong. It is a bit different than the traditional einspanner that has a lottt of cream, but I didn't mind having less of a heavy cream taste. Plenty of seating in the interior and parking is so easy. Will be a regular spot for me! read more

I got the matcha einspanner and I must say this is the best matcha I have had so far in the Seattle area. I truthfully wasn't expecting it to be so smooth and earthy, so it was a pleasant surprise. It's not overly sweet either! The staff were warming and nice as well! The place gets quite busy (understandably so). Overall, I enjoyed my time here and will come again soon. read more

Best matcha latte in Seattle!! I got the Turon Matcha Latte. Ive tried so many matcha spots and this is one of my favorites! The matcha flavor is strong and a very nice green color, had a slight sweetness to the matcha. The smooth, subtle earthy, umami flavors of the matcha pairs well with the sweeter banana purée at the bottom. (Not overly sweet) The service was great and the employees were really kind. I love the ambiance and aesthetic of the place, there was a good amount of seating on the weekday, I really like how spacious it is too. Cute neighborhood to walk around in. read more

Yoka Tea - Always a long line on the weekends, especially when they have special events - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yoka Tea is it. I got to go to their friends & family opening a couple weekends ago, and I'm still thinking about the drinks like they're old crushes I never confessed to. I had the Saksak Slushy and the Yuzu Espresso--both were ridiculously good. The slushy was super refreshing (honestly felt like vacation in a cup), and the yuzu + espresso combo? Wild on paper, magic in your mouth. I wasn't ready for how much I'd like it. The owner's a close friend of mine, and if there's one thing you should know about him, it's that he doesn't half-do anything. He's the kind of person who'll stress over the spacing of a menu font or the exact texture of a cup lid--and somehow, it all pays off. You can feel the intentionality in every corner of the shop. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. And if you aren't in the area, get in the area. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

I saw this place on tiktok and decided to give it a try. I got the matcha einspanner which was so yummy and creamy. The matcha flavor was strong too. I was able to find a spot to work inside and the interior was so cute and had a nice vibe. It was a little loud since it was pretty busy so keep that in mind if you have hardcore studying to do. They also had some cute snacks and merch they were selling as well. While we were there, there was a pop up which was so fun and cool to see they have events like that. I would definitely come back. read more

My fiancée and I stopped by during their soft opening, and it's clear this spot is already drawing a crowd, they were busy right at opening. I went for the Turon Matcha, which was creamy and unique, while my fiancé tried the Sparkling Yuzu Espresso, a bright and refreshing twist on coffee. The space is small but feels open and welcoming, with a clean, modern vibe. Best of all, it's pet-friendly, so we got to enjoy our drinks while admiring all the adorable fur babies. read more

Glad to see Yoka move into the neighborhood! Morden and chic decor with reasonably good amount of chairs. Matcha was sold out when I was there so I reluctantly tried the slushy which was way too sweet for me but fun to try at least once nevertheless. Yuzu espresso was novel and refreshing. Looking forward to trying matcha later. read more

We tried the matcha einspanner and the strawberry jasmine, both were some of my favorite drinks in Seattle for me. Matcha was very prominent and the einspanner was creamy and had nice mouthfeel. Strawberry compote paired nicely with the Jasmine tea. We also tried the boba topping, but it was just ok. I think I would opt for the other toppings instead next time. All in all, one of my new favorite matcha and tea spots! read more
