I love how strong the matcha flavor was in the matcha einspanner! Creamy and just the right amount of sweetness! Came in on a Thursday afternoon and only waited around 20 minutes to order and get my drink! The matcha is made to order, hence, very authentic and fresh. I also appreciate that they have a complimentary syrup dispenser for customers who may like their drinks a tad bit sweeter. Friendly workers and very nice aesthetic decor inside! Lots of chairs and tables; a louder atmosphere, but still spacious enough to study and hangout with friends. Only downside is that the drinks are expensiveeeee!! I'm used to getting my matchas in LA for ~$6 so this was a big surprise to me to be charged $10 for a cup. read more

Phe - matcha einspanner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best matcha in Seattle? I think so! Phe is a Vietnamese cafe with phenomenal matcha, coffee, and food. Located in Cap Hill, parking is non-existent but in a very walkable area. I came when they first opened and the line was out the door but I think that since then, the hype has died down a bit but it can still be pretty busy. There are tables where you can sit and enjoy your drinks and food- but you might have to get lucky to get a seat. The ambiance is amazing here, with a bit of a wabi sabi vibe and I really liked the playlist they were playing too. Banana pudding matcha is the newest trendy drink and they way they do it here so almost like a matcha affogato- the banana cream is so thick that they give you a spoon. Super delicious but more like a dessert than a drink. I'm a big fan of sesame lattes and I loved the strong coffee mixed with the creamy nutty sesame. If you're a coffee lover, I don't think you'd be disappointed with the quality of coffee here. Don't miss out on their food items! I can't wait to come back read more

I've been here probably 10+ times already - hands down the best matcha latte in Seattle. I've tried all of the matcha latte flavors here, including Hoa (more floral) and Rau (more bitter) and they were all amazing. It is on the pricier side per cup, but the quality shows (compared to the other places in Seattle). I've tried working here a few times; there's plenty of seating, but it does get quite loud with the music and overall ambiance, and it fills up quickly. I'd recommend coming on a weekday, as weekend lines can get very long. read more

Really cute coffee/matcha place in Seattle! My friend highly recommended Phe, and it did not disappoint. On the weekend, there was a line out the door and the inside was buzzing with lots of people. The interior was clean, well-decorated, and minimalistic. It was pretty loud inside. The menu had a lot of delicious looking options. I ordered the Banana Pudding Matcha and tried their C3 Vietnamese coffee. Generally their drinks were on the more expensive side, but both were delicious! The banana pudding was a sweet creamy scoop on top of the drink. It had little chunks of fresh banana and crunchy toffee sprinkled on top. The matcha itself was not too bitter and not too sweet. I'd recommend eating a bite of the banana pudding and then sipping the matcha to enjoy all the flavors. The C3 Vietnamese coffee was strong, rich, and well-balanced. Very solid staple and flavor. Overall, I really liked this place and its vibe. I would definitely come back to try more of their creative drinks. read more

I had the phe me (black sesame cream foam) and the matcha einspanner, the phe me was absolutely phenomenal. I have had so many black sesame drinks back in LA but Seattle is where it's at. This black sesame is so creamy and mixed with the coffee is just such a great complimenting taste. 5/5 for sure, must try. However, the matcha is alright, it's not as good as others I have tried before but it is quite decent. The service is quick and the aesthetics of the cafe is very nice. read more

It was my second time at Phe. We got the honeycomb coffee, which was really good, and the seasonal crème brûlée coffee. I ordered both drinks less sweet and they were perfect. We also tried the banana pudding matcha, which was delicious -- it had real chunks of banana and was super creamy and decadent. The line was pretty long when we got there, and we waited about 10 minutes for our drinks. I think it was worth the wait, but I probably wouldn't wait much longer than that. Overall, the coffee is strong and tasty, but it's definitely on the pricier side. I'd come here once in a while for a fun treat, but it's not somewhere I'd go every day. read more

Waited for about 20 minutes to order, and unfortunately by the time we got to the front of the line they ran out of the matcha banana pudding (tragic). I ended up getting a matcha earl gray latte, which I was pleasantly surprised by. The early gray was pretty strong- initially the floral taste hits you and you finish with a matcha aftertaste. My friend got a matcha latte with oat milk and we were both very happy with the quality of our drinks. It can be challenging to find a good matcha latte, especially since most taste either bitter, grassy, or milky. Probably wouldn't wait in that long of a line again but I didn't regret it. There seems to be a decent amount of seating inside, but it does get busy so would prepare to just take your drinks to go. read more

Lives up to the hype! I've been to Phê probably 5 times by now, and they never disappoint. My favorite drink is the Matcha Einspanner. I love my matcha rich, dark green and vegetal, and Phê always satisfies. It's always strong enough, and it's never too sweet. The staff are always helpful in answering questions about the menu. This time (7/20/2026) I ordered the Itsumi matcha latte, recommended to me because of my preference for a stronger matcha. It was very delicious, and since the Itsumi is served unsweetened I could add syrup to my liking from the provided pump. I also ordered their vegan banh mi (with housemade vegan pâté!) which was excellent. I will be coming back as long as this café still exists. Please never leave me, Phê! read more

Best matcha/coffee spot in Seattle! The lines aren't too long before 10 AM on the weekends or when it's raining! There's a lot of seating inside and you are usually able to find a table or quickly wait for one. There's drinks are super delicious and beautiful. Highly recommend the drinks special to phe (hot chocolate coffee, banana pudding matcha). read more

I found Phê while scrolling through Instagram for good matcha in Seattle. I read that Phê has been so popular that earlier this summer they ran out of matcha powder! Phê has a beautiful space and really honors the process of whisking and making the matcha drinks. The service is quick and kind and I took the recommendation of the cashier and got the Matcha Einspanner. The deep, vibrant green color of my matcha drink was exactly what you want to see and a sign of a high quality matcha powder. Would highly recommend! read more

Don't be deterred by the line. It moves quickly. Got the strong Vietnamese coffee (Phe Nau) and the banana pudding matcha. Both are best we've ever had!! Hand whisked matcha means no chalk or weird aftertaste. Yum!! Egg rolls delish and spam musubi a fun thing to try. read more

Seattle TikTok raves about this place and I was looking forward to trying their banana pudding matcha, but unfortunately got here at closing so they were out. Instead I got the strawberry matcha with sweet cream top that the cashier recommended, it was ok. Nothing special compared to the other matcha spot I tried during my visit. The baristas do care about the presentation, they were working diligently to get orders out. read more

I had this place on my itinerary when I visited Seattle. I kept seeing this place on TikTok, so I definitely had high expectations for their matcha. We came on a Friday, and boyyy was this place crowded. It was difficult to even stand inside while waiting for our drinks. We got the banana pudding matcha and the matcha Einspanner. Given that the banana pudding matcha was $11 (), I had VERY high expectations. Unfortunately, I didn't think the drink was worth the price. This was the most I've ever spent on a matcha, and I felt it was just alright. The place is very aesthetic and it's nice how you can watch them make your drinks, but I probably won't be revisiting. read more

Tried this stand for the first time and really enjoyed it! The matcha was really good, especially for a first-timer--it wasn't too sweet or too bitter, which I loved. The only downside is that the space is pretty small, so having a little more seating/room would make the experience even better. Overall, definitely worth trying! read more

- street parking, we got lucky and found a spot pretty quick along the college side! - spacious cafe with lots of seating that extends to the back - loved the variety of drinks and even food - there were vietnamnese coffee drinks, matcha, hojicha, and fruit teas - you can see them freshly whisk and make all the drinks in front of you - loved the yuzu honey tea (there was a yuzu jelly that was so silky and tasty) and the matcha specifically! (matcha quality was top tier, so smooth and slightly vegetal which balanced perfectly with the sweet homemade strawberry jam) read more

WOW, WOW, WOW. I walked by this spot and saw them making their matcha and knew I had to stop by. The matcha was professional grade, not bitter at all and soooo refreshing! The crème brûlée (Phê crème brûlée) and honeycomb toffee (Phê keo) drinks were sweet and strong. I loved the creativity of the drinks. It certainly matched the cool aesthetic of the cafe. Unfortunately, the banana pudding was all out. I would be back to check it out! The staff were very friendly and patient considering the insane line today. Overall a win! read more

I finally visited Phe after hearing all the rave about it. I try to avoid going up to Seattle as traffic and parking sucks. Fortunately when I decided to go there, parking was not an issue as I parked right across the street. The line was a little long, it took around 30 minutes total, waiting in line then waiting for your drink all in all. I ordered the strawberry matcha and got a spam musubi as I was starving. Musubi was good. Matcha was good as well, I would say the matcha was super strong as I had a hard time falling asleep the following night and I also felt a little dizzy. All in all, I don't think I'll come back mainly because I don't want to wait 20-30 minutes for a drink and find parking as well. Also, seating is limited here as well as it gets pretty crowded. read more

I fear this place is worth the hype guys... the price tag on it is insane (the banana pudding was $11), but it's worth it and definitely a treat yourself.

I was able to try their limited edition egg brûlée coffee and it was pretty good! It still had their authentic Vietnamese coffee flavor and the edition of the egg brûlée. Those two went well together. The service was good. The coffee didn't take long to make and the employees answered any questions we had. The ambiance is good. There's a good amount of seating, however, since it's so popular, it was filled up. There's great lighting as well, but it can be a bit loud in here. read more

Seen this coffee shop all over Instagram and had to see it for myself. Primarily known for its matcha, they offer funky and unique drinks for coffee and matcha lattes. Their coffee isn't your regular coffee, there's different types and the one I got tasted like hot cocoa. The lines are long but they go by quick. The layout is great in the sense that they offer seating while you wait and the music adds to the vibe. The drinks are a little pricy but for the craft of the drinks I think it's understandable. The matcha was too bitter for me, but I like the fake stuff. This matcha is the authentic kind and my friend who loves the matcha in Japan enjoyed this matcha thoroughly. It's a great place to visit and your feed will love it. It wouldn't be my monthly stop but it's a cute place to visit once in a while. read more

Super trendy cafe with a tonn of people. Lines are always out the door and when I finally decided to bite the bullet and visit, I was glad I did!

If you're a coffee/matcha addict like me, this is the go to spot in Seattle! Recommended by a friend that said this is one of the best matcha and viet coffee spots in seattle. I got there around 11AM on a Sunday and the line was out the door! There's seating inside but because it's so busy it's hard to find a table or seats with bigger groups. We ordered the banana matcha and phe muoi. The flavor is very rich and creamy!! I loved that the staff made it right in front of you. Despite being so busy I felt like the drinks came out fairly quickly! I waited in line for maybe 30mins and drinks came out in about 10 mins. I also loved that there's a small seating area in front while waiting for drinks. I did think the drinks were on the pricier side given the size, but I'd still come again to try their other drinks and food items! read more

One the best "banana" (pudding) latte drinks I've had, both the hojicha and matcha. All 3 drinks we tried had a pleasantly strong/bold tea flavor, a nice rich texture, and are perfectly lightly sweetened. It's not pudding in the traditional sense, more like a very thick whipped cream or mousse, but doesn't feel greasy I find some whipped creams or cold foams have. It's really good! They give you a cute wooden spoon to eat the pudding with/stir your drink. The shape of the cups are also well thought-out where the wide mouth and stout cup it makes it easier to manage the large scoop of "pudding" floating on top. There were some real banana chunks at the bottom of the cup, which are a fun treat to eat at the end. The person who took our drink order, wasn't particularly nice, but wasn't rude either. It just seemed like she didn't want to be there. We ordered food and drink. They call your number on your receipt when your drink is ready to pick up at the counter, but it was hard to hear/listen for our order from our table. You get a separate number marker to place on your table for them to bring the food out to you when it's ready. Mì Trộn Saté * 2/5 * Very bland. There wasn't much of a sauce, more of a red oil that sits at the bottom of the bowl, and doesn't even coat the noodles that well when mixed up. The meat mixture was under-seasoned. The noodles were more on the al dente side. Just not good overall, especially for $18. Banana Pudding Matcha Latte * 5/5 * Good strong matcha, not too bitter with a nice rich texture, pairs great with the banana. Love the banana pudding on top! Banana Pudding Hojicha Latte * 5/5 * Smooth and strong hojicha flavor, pleasantly roasted and nutty. Nice rich texture. Goes great with banana flavor. Earl Grey Matcha * 5/5 * Very floral tasting and a perfect balance of Earl Grey and Macha flavors with a rich texture. Excellent drinks, okay service, not so good food (although only tried 1 food item). The place is clean and minimally elegant. There's quite a few tables to sit if you're able to score one. read more

Phê offers artisan matcha drinks on the pricey side. It is worth a try, but be prepared for a 30-minute queue to get in and about a 15-minute wait after ordering. The staff here are super friendly and approachable, taking time to walk you through the menu if you're not familiar with the different teas or flavor profiles. It makes the whole process feel welcoming even for first-time visitors. I tried both the Matcha Einspanner and the Hojicha Einspanner, and they were excellent in their own ways. The matcha was mild, smooth, and fragrant, while the hojicha leaned more earthy and grain-rich, giving it a deeper, roasted profile. Both drinks were topped with a lightly salted milk foam that tied everything together. Creamy, balanced, and not overly sweet. read more

Visited this cafe twice during a trip to Seattle. I loved the variety of matcha drinks they offer. We tried both flavors of the matcha lattes (hoa and rau) and we enjoyed them but like rau more. On our second visit, we tried the mango matcha and the matcha einspanner. The matcha flavor wasn't as strong as we prefer in both drinks, but the mango was good and fresh, and the einspanner was very creamy. Service is friendly. The space is really nicely decorated with a variety of seating. There are small tables and chairs in front if you just want to hang and chat with friends, and there are larger tables in the back if you want to work. If they have spam musubis available, I highly recommend you try them! For $4.50 it's a standard size with egg and avocado. read more

I'm convinced that this place has the best matcha latte in the city. The matcha is vibrant and great quality, and they use a good amount in the latte. I got the cloud matcha which they said was the most popular option after the banana options sold out. The earl grey matcha is amazing too. They hand whisk everything so it is an experience to watch. The space is nice, big and luxurious (reminds me of New York matcha places). It's not cheap at around $10 per latte, but if you're a matcha fan you need to try it! read more

Hands down one of the best matchas I've ever had. My friend and I stopped in on a rainy Sunday afternoon and everyone else definitely had the same idea as there was a bit of a line but it moved fairly quickly. The inside is clean, fairly spacious and although there's limited seating (there's some REALLY tiny chairs and tables), tables do turn over relatively quickly and we were able to grab a seat and enjoy. The vibes were just super cool and aesthetically pleasing. It was also cool to watch the baristas prepare the matcha, they showed so much care to their craft. I got the Strawberry matcha (banana pudding was already sold out) and my friend got the matcha einspanner. Our drinks were so good and refreshing! They were earthy and I loved how fresh the strawberry puree in mine was. Really cool trendy spot and I can see why it's so hyped! read more
