    Donuts
    Maria P.

    MOWOOD is a fantastic addition to downtown Redmond! It can be difficult to find high-quality matcha on the Eastside, and MOWOOD absolutely delivers. Not only do they offer a great selection of unique matcha flavors, but the overall vibe and aesthetic of the café are beautiful, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. I tried the Banana Pudding Matcha, which wasn't overly sweet on its own, but the banana pudding on top took it to the next level. It was rich, balanced, and incredibly delicious. The Strawberry Matcha was equally impressive--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect amount of sweet. The donuts really elevated the experience. Being able to pair your matcha with a doughnut featuring a similar flavor profile was such a fun concept, and every pairing lived up to expectations. I can't wait to come back and try even more from MOWOOD's menu!

    Mowood is a great cafe on the Eastside located in Redmond for those looking for matcha. I like that it is super accessible if you don't drive, since it's right by the Redmond light rail station. The interior is cute and minimalist, plus they have both indoor and outdoor seating. I tried the Jasmine Cloud Matcha and the Matcha Cloud Latte both were incredibly creamy and used high-quality matcha, though the drinks leaned a bit milky and could be a tad stronger in matcha flavor. Their black sesame nami donut is super fluffy and not too sweet! It is a bit pricy but worth trying at least once if they have it in stock!

    MOWOOD @ REDMOND Parking is street parking only, so don't expect to find a private parking lot right next door. If you have some extra time and plan on exploring Redmond before or after your visit, I'd recommend parking at Redmond Town Center. It's only a couple of blocks away and has a free parking garage along with plenty of street parking. From there, it's an easy walk to Mo Wood. Otherwise, you can try to find street parking nearby. There aren't a ton of spots, but if you're lucky, you can usually grab one. I actually came here because my brother recommended it after trying it himself. I found it on Yelp, and it was interesting because it's listed as a coffee shop. I had been looking for new matcha spots since the only one I'd really been to before was Matcha Magic. I like Matcha Magic, but sometimes their matcha can be a little watered down, so I wanted to try something new. The staff was friendly, and the menu had a huge variety of drinks. They offered several different matcha options, smoothies that reminded me a bit of Erewhon's signature smoothies, and plenty of coffee choices as well. The café itself is beautiful and has a really clean, aesthetic atmosphere. My only small complaint is that it was extremely quiet inside. I wish the background music had been turned up just a little, not because I wanted loud music, but because it was so quiet that you could hear every conversation happening around you. I also wish there were a few larger tables. Most of the seating consists of small café tables, so if you're planning to bring your laptop and work for a few hours, it may not be the most comfortable setup. That said, it's a perfect spot to grab a coffee or matcha with a friend and relax for a bit. My drink came out to about $7.90, and they gave me a $5 coupon toward my next purchase. I'd definitely recommend entering your phone number to start earning rewards. As for the matcha, it was amazing. The ceremonial-grade matcha tasted incredibly fresh, vibrant, and high quality. The strawberry flavor was balanced perfectly and wasn't overly sweet. One thing I'm usually picky about is when cafés add too much syrup or too much ice. I even asked if they could adjust the sweetness, but they mentioned they couldn't make changes. Thankfully, it ended up being absolutely perfect exactly as it was. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. If you're looking for a high-quality matcha spot in Redmond, I highly recommend giving Mo Wood a try!

    matcha cloud latte, banana matcha, jasmine matcha cloud (terrible)
    Sheeny N.

    As an LA native, I can confirm this place is indeed NOT a "Community Goods" dupe, but instead, a complete let down. Banana Pudding Matcha: the pudding was chunky and not creamy enough. Therefore, it was hard to dissolve fully into the drink, making the matcha latte consist of undesirable textures rather than being smooth. 5/10 Jasmine Matcha Cloud: the matcha flavor was diluted and nearly absent. The jasmine tea taste was very mild. Overall, just tasted watered down and no milk substitution either for this drink! 4/10 Matcha Cloud Latte: matcha cream top over matcha latte. Not too sweet and decent. However, the matcha is still not very strong. The cup size was also outrageously small. 6/10 Street parking is available around the block and there's seating indoors and outdoors. Busy environment and very clean interior. We waited about 5 minutes for our drinks to be ready. Overall, would definitely not come back, and would appreciate if people stopped comparing it to places that are ACTUALLY good in LA because it's quite insulting.

    MOWOOD is a cafe located in Redmon that serves matchas, coffees, smoothies, and pastries. It is right across the Redmond Town Center. It was very easy to find parking; either around the building, or retail parking garage. The interior is bright and welcoming. It is on the smaller side, so I wouldn't recommend hanging around too long as it can get crowded. When we arrived Saturday at noon, there was a line almost out the door. The line moved fairly quickly, and it seemed customers received their orders quickly as well! I ordered the Matcha Cloud Latte with the defaulted whole milk option and a Vanilla Custard donut. My sister ordered the Jasmine Matcha Cloud also with the defaulted whole milk and Matcha Cream donut. The verdict about the drinks is it was quite milky. The milk flavor overpowered the matcha flavoring in the drinks for both of them. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Also, I noticed my drink was smaller than my sister's. Mine was a 12oz and hers was a 16oz. I didn't notice the difference while we were ordering because it was hard to see the indication. The donuts were good. You could taste the matcha flavoring in the cream. I liked the texture of the dough and the sweetness of the dough, too. I was quite surprised that the cost of the drinks wasn't outrageous. Our drinks were each $6.75. That's great to see because I am tired of seeing drinks that are almost $10.

    Very cute match and donut shop! We had gotten there right at opening on a Sunday morning and there was already a line out the door with one flavor of donut sold out :( get here early if you want a specific donut. All the donuts are super nice though! The brioche is super soft and the savory flavor with potato cream was super unique and delicious. Highly recommend trying the donuts. The matcha is pretty good as well, but not as good as other spots on the Seattle side. Compared to other spots on the Eastside though, much better! We were able to get seating, but minimal seating is available.

    Banana Pudding Matcha (Oat)

    I got there at 11am on a Sunday. There was already a short line, which quickly grew after I ordered. When I got there, service was fast but I think there was more of a wait when I left ~12pm. Space was bright, and can sit ~20 people. Reviews said parking was difficult to find so I took the lightrail and it was just steps from the Redmond Town Center station. The goodies!! -------- *Strawberry Matcha w/ Matcha Cream Top (Oat) - One of the best strawberry matchas I've ever had!! The strawberry puree was fresh, I especially like it where the puree has actual chucks of strawberry in it, which this definitely does! + the cream top was perfect. 10/10!! *Banana Pudding Matcha (Oat) - I wish they had banana syrup throughout the matcha. It was just a regular matcha with banana pudding on top so the banana flavor was lost. *Potato Truffle Donut - They had a piece of prosciutto on top and that was the best bite. They should have prosciutto throughout the donut as it came off a bit bland. *Matcha Cream Donut - Not too sweet. Good earthy matcha flavor! Overall, I'd come back for the matcha, but have had better brioche donuts elsewhere.

    As a Bay Area/LA native, I had to try since I saw this is the community goods dupe but located in WA! the shop is located in downtown Redmond conveniently near the link/public transit. The store itself is well lit and has a sleek modern design but be aware there's not much table seating if you're trying to get work done. some 2 hour street parking outside but could get busy during peak hours. I visited around 2pm on a Friday afternoon and there were still plenty of donuts left but they sold out around 3pm. Not too long of a wait during this time. I ordered the strawberry matcha and the matcha cream donut. The matcha was very umami and the strawberry paired well with the drink but the syrup was a bit too sweet for my liking. The donut was very fluffy and not too sweet and the matcha cream was just perfect! Reasonably priced (~$15 for drink+ matcha) A bit overhyped on social media but the matcha wasn't bad! The strawberry skin glow (Hailey Bieber smoothie dupe) looked really interesting though and I would love to come back to try!

    Plain and vanilla custard
    Iris H.

    Tried the plain and vanilla cream donuts today. Luckily the line wasn't too long. We arrived about 15 min before opening and there were only 6 people ahead of us. We were a little disappointed that the donuts weren't that warm. It's understandable that the cream needs to be kept cold but the plain one was also cool to the touch. I will say the vanilla custard was pretty good. The vanilla tasted like real vanilla and you could see the specks in the cream. The donut itself was a little small but nice and fluffy. Overall, a decent donut, not sure if it's worth a long wait.

    Strawberry skin glow smoothie
    Thaila N.

    I came for the Erewhon dupe "strawberry skin glow" smoothie. The texture was really good and it wasn't too sweet (in a good way). I think it was worth the price and a try! I also want to revisit to try the donuts. By 3pm on a weekday, the donuts were completely sold out. The matcha latte was also pretty good. TIP: Try to avoid peak times. I came around 1pm and the line was sooo long so I left and came back around 3pm and I didn't wait in a line at all. Parking is pretty bad because there's limited street parking which fills up during busy times. Otherwise, hourly parking in the garage is $10/hour (which is crazy) and I saw someone giving out tickets for people who didn't pay so make sure you actually pay!!!

    Black sesame

    I heard about this place and decided to give it a try. Of note: didn't expect a coffee and donut place to open at 11 and not earlier. We got there at around 1055 an there was already a long line -- advice: go on weekdays is probably best. It's right next to the light rail so pretty convenient. The place has some seatings which is nice. I wish they had more non caffeinated options though for drinks. The only option they had was 2-3x as much as their matcha and caffeinated drink.... I ended up just getting the donuts: Plain and black sesame. My kids love it so a bonus point! The texture was soft and surprisingly it wasn't greasy at all. It was a good balance of sweetness as well. I probably would come back when I'm in the area on a weekday haha. Weekend waits are not for me.

    Food and service were great. The café is very quaint and adorable. My only grip is the parking. It's pretty difficult to find street parking, especially during peak hours and if you park in the parking garage, I believe you do need to pay unless you get a validated. The match was everything I wanted it to be not too sweet, especially if you do their recommend recommended and sweetness level. Price was decent on part with what you would typically get out of the Matcha café. Highly recommend you get the donuts they are delightful, creamy, pillowy, and yummy

    Banana Pudding Matcha
    Jacques I.

    3.5 Stars My friend who lives in Redmond told me about MOWOOD, which recently opened near the Downtown Redmond light rail station, and overall, it was fine. I can't say it's my favorite matcha, by any means. But it's satisfactory and quite frankly, I think it's one of the few options for matcha in Redmond, so that's a win. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and the place was pretty busy, with most of the seats taken inside. They do have outdoor seating, but not much, but at least it's a place where you can take your dog. I liked that they had a dog bowl out for the fur babies, especially on such a sunny day. After asking the staff member what her favorite drink was, she recommended the banana pudding and the strawberry matcha ones. I ended up ordering the banana pudding, but was not given an option to adjust sugar level, which is a shame since I don't like my drinks sweet, especially matcha. And unfortunately, that was the case with mine. It was on the sweeter side, so I didn't taste the abundance of the matcha that I was really hoping for. I'd come back to give it another shot, especially since it's so close to the light rail station and is an area I frequent. Maybe I'll have better luck then and the donuts won't be sold out on my next visit, which I hear is fantastic. TBD.

    I was recently introduced to TOUS les JOURS by an office colleague, and it has quickly become one…read moreof my favorite spots. If you haven't been yet, the entire bakery setup is amazing, but their cakes are the absolute crown jewel. Here is what makes this place stand out: Perfectly Balanced Cakes: As you can see from the beautiful mango cake ,their desserts are a work of art. The best part? They use high-quality ingredients and have significantly less sugar than typical American bakeries. It's light, airy, and not overwhelmingly sweet. Excellent Savory Selection: Beyond the sweets, their savory pastries and baked goods are top-tier and always fresh. Great Service & Cozy Atmosphere: The service here is exceptionally welcoming and efficient. While it's a popular spot, they do have a few seats inside if you want to sit down and enjoy your treat on the spot. Whether you're picking up a signature cake box for a birthday or just grabbing a morning pastry, this place completely delivers on quality. Highly recommended!

    recieved this cake for my birthday as a surprise & WOW - as much as i love this bakery, i love this…read morecake just as much ! i received a cloud cake that was very light & airy ! not as heavy as the usual cake or cupcake you'd get. the frosting was light & sweet - like a cloud ! - & tasted of whipped cream. the various fruit on it - my favorite being strawberries of course - tasted all sweet & fresh, even being out of season. the inside layer of the strawberry wasn't even soggy, even a few days after. the cake itself was very soft & almost spongey, almost like angel food cake, but better. if you can get your hands on a cake - even just a slice they sell individually - i reccomend ! this bakery has so many delightful pastries of both sweet & savory (along with coffee & other drinks!) - i always enjoy whatever small treat i decide to choose from them !
