Loved the vibe, friendly & mellow staff, and the seating area space. There are long tables to work at, comfy seating with games, and chairs to enjoy your coffee with friends. I ordered a drip to try out...did not disappoint. My kids ordered some iced coffee - sorry I wasn't paying attention when they ordered - and they were delicious! We did order a few food items to share for a snack but they were gone before I could snap a pictures. The coffee was perfect, no hint of burnt flavor. I heard the food was also good but it was gone before I sat down. The merch was simple but you will want to buy it all!

We got the salmon rice bowl, cauliflower and yodelin broth with shrimp added. The salmon rice bowl was essentially a salad topped on rice and fresh salmon. The quality of the ingredients were fantastic, you could tell how fresh it was but the actual dish itself wasn't anything crazy. The yodelin broth was a bowl of complex flavors. You could taste the fish, and it was very comforting. The mini shrimp in it were surprisingly good and they don't skimp out on the quantity. Finally, their cauliflower dish was delicious. It was a little crisp without being overly hard. The creamy sauces paired so well with the chili crisps. Definitely on the pricier end for the food but so good.

This was on a Sunday afternoon close to 5pm, and there were still so many people occupying nearly every seat inside. I did come back to try their matcha matcha drink only to find it gone from their current menu as of May 2026. Instead, their turon matcha immediately caught my eye, as it has banana and I've been obsessed with banana-flavored toppings and puree on my matcha lately. It has matcha and house banana puree, both of which work well together. The tiny layer of house banana puree has all the flavor, especially when you mix the whole drink together. Very refreshing, and their ceremonial matcha's grassy tones still came out despite the banana puree being just as strong in the drink. Their matcha here comes pretty close to making it to the highest spots on my list of my most favorite matcha places in Seattle. Even if it isn't on the top of that list, their drinks are still 5+ star quality.

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.

I had heard so many things about Phe and was eager to try it! I got a banana pudding matcha which…read morewas 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.

The decor was really nice and I liked the mural they had up. The staff were friendly and let us know about some of their popular drinks. I got the Salted Egg Yolk Coffee and it was very decadent and creamy. It complimented the strong coffee and had nice layering when sipped out of the top instead of through a straw. Will definitely be back to try some of the other drinks.

I got the drink without ice, and enjoyed it cold without ice later. The salted egg foam is so delicious, very creamy and pairs well with the slight earthiness of matcha. However, the matcha was a bit floral than ones I've had elsewhere - still good but not as strong. There are also banh mi available. When I come back, I may have to get a flight to try more flavors. There are lots of seating inside, and a couple tables outside - good for working and hanging out with friends.

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
