    Been wanting to try Jin Jin and glad they opened a location in Seattle. You do have to park in the garage and the door is a bit hidden to the place. No seats inside but there is a lounge area in the lobby of the office building. The hot girl matcha is one of a kind and modified with agave instead of vanilla syrup. The vanilla cold foam is super light and whipped, the olive oil is a nice touch that I loved

    Still appears to be in the soft opening phase. I know of Jin Jin Matcha from Tacoma and never visited because it's a bit deep. Was keeping up with the opening of this location and waiting for any busy lines to ease up. Located within the Key Bank building, the entrance is subtle and hardly noticeable (not currently marked), but also accessible through the big main doors of Key Bank. Seems to be staffed by one person so busier times may be slow. No dedicated seats, but the lobby of the building does have sofas and cushioned seats to take a breather. Misugaru - staff favorite means highly recommended! I enjoyed this drink. Matcha was whisked well, yet there was a graininess from the mix of sesame, sweet rice, oats, barley, and sweet potato. Like the description notes, it's a faint cheerio aftertaste. Not super sweet, was creamy with some grainy texture, yet smooth at the same time.

    It's alright. Matcha quality seems good & color is good but strawberry matcha was way too sweet and I didn't like that the strawberry was like a syrup and not a jam- just hides the taste of matcha completely IMO and not my taste. Service was soso, cashier was pretty friendly but the workers were just all standing around talking to like a group of their friends and we waited outside the store because it wasn't very inviting (the vibe in there). Very small space. They were sold out of a lot of things. I've been to their Tacoma location as well and enjoyed that more. Wouldn't recommend this one.

    Good new matcha store to try! I had their strawberry matcha with vanilla foam and it was good! The drink was on the sweeter side which I liked. I personally like matcha on the less bitter side, which was the case. The service was good! The employees were nice and helpful and the drinks were quick to be made! The ambiance of the store was nice. It was nicely decorated but the place is pretty small with no seating inside. However, it is connected to a big building and there are seats there.

    I know they were in their soft opening for a bit and maybe they are still ironing out the kinks, but I'm a bit disappointed with this place. I walked by many times over the last few months, from the time the store was fully vinyled up, to the time they peeled it back partially and revealed the interior. They'd look open -- I'd peep in and see milk and supplies out on the counter, tips in the jar etc but no one at the counter and the door locked. The next day, I'd get a drink at another cafe, then walk past Jin and saw customers entering. The day I finally made it in, I was excited! But then I entered and wasn't greeted as 2-3 employees were standing together talking. When the barista approached the register, she didn't give me much time to look at the menu before immediately asking me for my order. I took a few seconds to decide and by the time I looked up, she'd walked away and started back talking with her coworkers. I got the Hot Girl Matcha, which had honey, olive oil and sea salt. The foam had a nice flavor, but aside from that...the actual drink was essentially just green milk with no distinct matcha taste. If they truly use 4 grams like their menu *claims*, they need to consider decreasing their cup size because the matcha is getting too diluted. My drink was about $9 and I don't think it was worth it at all.

    This might be my new favorite flavored matcha in the area! As soon as I heard of the misugaru matcha I knew I had to try it. I love anything grainy and nutty (but not actual nuts since I'm allergic haha) and this drink spoke to me. I got the misugaru matcha iced, with oat milk. It was a super vibrant green and the flavor was absolute perfection. Nutty and rich, just the right amount of sweetness, and you could still taste the quality matcha after. The drink was also a generous size compared to other matcha spots around here. I would absolutely come back for this drink!

    Misugaru - staff favorite, totally recommend!
    Marielle J.

    Good quality matcha served here and prob one of the best I've had! They had their soft opening this past Friday. Good thing we came around 10:30 since there was a line forming as a result! I got the Misugaru which is a staff favorite! Highly recommend.

    Stopped by for their soft opening and am excited to try more. It's a small shop attached to a corporate building, no seating inside unless you count the chairs in the building lobby. I got the misugaru matcha, which was tastier than I expected. I'm not the biggest fan of flavored matcha drinks, but misugaru goes well with matcha without overwhelming the flavor. Service was friendly and the cafe is well decorated.

    I went here during their soft opening on a Saturday around 12:15pm after one of my besties heard about this location opening up on social media. This location is inside the Puget Sound Plaza, with no designated seating for the place except out in the lobby near the elevators and a chirashi bowl restaurant. If looking at just the inside where the staff are making your drinks, it's modern and cutely decorated. You order up at the front, and there's menus around, one at the door and another to the immediate right-hand side of the counter which is also a mirror made of glass... I got their matcha-banana, which is their ceremonial okumidori matcha with banana puree on top. I asked for oat milk, which added another .75 to the $8.50 cost on it. Matcha, for the most part, is apparent throughout the drink, and the banana puree blends well. It's not overly sweet and is comparable to some other banana matcha offerings throughout the Seattle area. My drink was pretty deep green, so the matcha is there, though it is a smidge weaker than those places. Not that I prefer straight-up matcha, the banana puree doesn't take away from it. I do love that they have a ton of variations on their fun drinks, with the matcha-banana being one of them. My friend also got another fun drink - their hot girl matcha - for his sis, who enjoyed the drink. Happy to have another great matcha place around downtown Seattle! The misugaru and houji-banana are gonna be my next choices when I come back, hopefully for their grand opening.

    Went during their soft opening and was happy to see that there was no line! It's a really small shop connected to a lobby with seating area but it's pretty small. It's decorated pretty cute though. Overall the drinks were good, I left like the matcha flavor in all were low and I feel Like you can tell through the color. I felt the hot matcha girl had the most matcha flavor, the strawberry matcha I think is made with strawberry milk so it's not super strong in strawberry flavor as I'd like but if you don't like that it's not bad. I debated a 3 but I felt like they had fun and different flavors than other spots which I think gives it its edge, the matcha flavor is a bit weak though for me. Overall mot bad, not sure I'd go out of my way for it but great spot if you're near by.

    Black Sesame and Misugaru
    Nathania L.

    Located right next to the Puget Sound Plaza. Me and my sister got the black sesame matcha and the misugaru. The black sesame matcha isn't sweet however the matcha came super watery already which was disappointing. The misugaru is sweet and tastes purely like cereal with no matcha flavor, and quite powdery. The workers were nice initially but seemed very uninterested when answering our questions. Would rather go elsewhere

    Hojicha banana latte and banana matcha
    Chelsea V.

    We ordered the banana matcha and the hojicha banana latte. Both were delicious! They were friendly and the little place is very cute, though can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

    Einspanner
    Kaedyn W.

    LOVE Jin Jin. I had the Einspanner - delicious. I wish I could have tried the entire menu; everything sounded so good! The shop itself is quite small, but there is some seating in the center's lobby. It was also nice that we didn't have to wait in a long line.

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.

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.
