    a white frosted cake with pink and yellow flowers
    Madi M.

    Amazing Gluten free and Vegan cake! Wasn't too sweet, the cake wasn't too doughy and it had really good flavor. I got the vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and it was delish! 8" cake is too much for 7 people hahaha

    This picture includes buttercream cakes, pineapple upside down cakes. Small cakes are the coconut trifecta, & vegan/gluten-free.

    My husband and I want to give Sweet Violette the highest rating possible for the absolutely most incredible cake we've ever had and it was for our wedding celebration. They turned out so beautiful how they were decorated them with orchids which created the most beautiful display of the cakes. The taste of the cakes were out of this world and our guest at our wedding are still complimenting them. We had just returned from getting married in Maui so our cake choices were a pineapple upside down cake (which was the best we have ever had), lavender buttercream, coconut buttercream, vanilla buttercream, coconut trifecta, and vegan gluten free vanilla. The buttercreams and the cake was light, fluffy, and absolutely incredible flavor. The only issue is we had was that we had a hard time stopping eating the cake ;) Thank you, Sweet Violette

    Gluten free vanilla rosette wedding cake.

    So delicious! The best gluten free cake I have ever had. I can't eat gluten so it was important to me to have a gluten free cake at our small wedding. My family was so surprised when they found out it was gluten free... everyone absolutely loved it! Viollette did such a great job communicating with us from the time we ordered the cake to the time we picked it up. We had a vanilla cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting. I wish I had a picture of the full cake, but the wedding day got away from us. Here is a quick picture I took after picking it up to give you an idea of the beautiful rosette design. I'll definitely be back in the future!

    Thank you so much Violette! You absolutely made my friend so happy that she was thought of, so you have my extreme gratitude! I called Violette the day before, and she was kind and flexible enough to not only make it for the next day, but also delivered it for me! I am stationed at Nellis AFB, and so I needed someone in Seattle I could trust to carry my request out for me while I couldn't do it personally. Violette did that and more, listening to the details, researching the colors, and creating it. She absolutely loved it! If you need a cake, you couldn't be in any better hands! Again, thank you so much Violette, and know that you really made a difference in someone's life today and brought a smile to them!

    Violette was amazing - extremely communicative and accommodating. I ordered a vegan chocolate cake with vanilla frosting for my husband's birthday and it ended up being the best cake I've ever had, hands down. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was delicious without being too saccharine. Will absolutely be ordering again and couldn't recommend enough!

    Sweet Violette helped to create a wonderful vegan chocolate birthday cake for my 5 year old grandson. It was short notice and Violette was very accommodating, even delivered it perfectly on time. The cake was rich, moist and delicious, and everyone enjoyed it, especially Lucas. I found him sneaking another bite after the party! Thanks again! PS, Lucas loved decorating his cake with his toys! We will definitely be repeat customers now that i know that vegan chocolate cake can taste so good!

They also have these adorable, beautiful fruit sandwiches on display. I also saw they have savoury bento items on the menu. We tried the hojicha soft serve ($6) and it was amazing. It's really just vanilla soft serve with a syrup of a flavor of your choosing - sesame, matcha, hojicha, etc. We were way too full to get the full sundae but we definitely want to get that next. You can have mochi topping too.

The key word here is…read moresyrup, the ice cream itself is vanilla flavored, and the additional flavors come from the syrup options. They currently offer Matcha, Hoji-Tea, Kuro-Goma (black sesame), and Yuzu (Japanese citrus). The shop itself is very small since it's basically a window shop, either renting space from or connected to Tamari Bar. It's more like a little dessert stand located on the restaurant's patio area, with only a few outdoor tables available. The soft serve was okay, but not as creamy as I was hoping for, and it melted pretty quickly. If you decide to add a syrup flavor, I'd recommend asking for only a small amount. Mine came absolutely drowning in syrup, and honestly, the flavor tasted pretty artificial and overpowering.

    If only every matcha spot was like this. Nana's has just about everything matcha you could want (or…read morethink of). From matcha lattes, to dessert options, to pastries and made-to-order meals. They also have other matcha / green tea options and hojicha drinks if you're looking for something different. The staff is great. I had a few questions because I couldn't decide what to order, and everyone was friendly and helpful - I was even able to add corn flakes to my matcha soft serve (which isn't listed on the menu), so it was nice to know I could customize it to my liking! The matcha tiramisu was the best I've had, and the hojicha latte with oat milk was just right. The flavor was nice and strong without being overpowering. Everything I had here truly stood out! I liked the variety on the menu and all of the different options. - it's extensive and you could find anything for everyone. It's one of the more memorable matcha spots I've been to, and I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Seattle. If you love matcha like I do, definitely add this place to your list. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    I hadn't been back to Nana's Green Tea in about two years, so I was excited to stop by again during…read moremy Seattle trip. Thankfully they are open today on the Fourth of July (they will just close a little earlier for the holiday), and I was happy to see that not much has changed since my last visit. Without even realizing it, I ended up ordering the exact same drink I got the first time: a Matcha Float with mochi. I guess you really can't go wrong with it because it's still just as creamy and satisfying as I remembered. The only tiny downside is that it only comes with three small mochi balls, so for almost $9 I wish there were a few more. However, the quality of the matcha is consistently excellent, sooo I don't regret coming back. They have wonderful customer service too! The employee helping me at the register was incredibly patient while I stood there trying to decide what to order. As an awkward introvert, I always feel a little flustered when ordering, but she never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. She asked my sweetness preference for the Matcha Float, whether I wanted to dine in or take everything to go, and even carefully packed up my yuzu green tea packet with the rest of my order. She was very kind and thoughtful so just wanna say I really appreciate how welcoming she was. Even from my last Seattle visit two years ago, I still remember the employees being helpful and friendly here. I also have to recommend their desserts from my previous visit. (I skipped the sweets this time due to my budget but I still suggest picking up some of their sweets!). The Matcha Basque Cheesecake and the Matcha Tiramisu were both absolutely delicious, and I still remember how amazing they tasted even two years later. The tiramisu is only around $7 and is definitely worth trying if you're a matcha lover. This visit, I picked up their yuzu green tea packet to take home (last time, I got the hojicha). Each packet contains 15 individual tea bags and costs about $10 (not bad for how much tea is in each tea bag). They also sell matcha powder and other tea goodies. I'm looking forward to brewing the yuzu green tea at home since a good cup of hot tea is always comforting, especially when I'm sick (I've been recovering from a cold so tea has been a lifesaver to warm me up!). I actually stopped by for lunch since I didn't eat breakfast, and ordered the Sukiyaki Don (it was much more satisfying than I expected). I was craving a beef bowl and Nana's was one of the few places in the area within walking distance from my work, that was actually open for the holiday today, lucky me! It came with miso soup and a soft-boiled egg, and I was pleasantly surprised to find tofu and mushrooms in the bowl alongside the beef. It left me FULL, my tummy happy, heck yeah. Costs almost $20 but worth satisfying a craving. I won't lie.. I somehow managed to spend about $40 today between my meal, drink, and tea to take home. More than I intended to spend but no regrets, because everything was delicious and the quality has remained consistently high over the years. The only thing that made my visit a little uncomfortable wasn't the café itself. There were quite a few homeless individuals lingering around the front of the building, so I decided against dining out front like I had originally planned since I wanted to enjoy the nice weather, but one of them was panhandling me so I promptly left (thankfully I asked for my order to be packaged for takeout). That's obviously outside of the café's control, and it didn't affect the food or service at all. They still had many seats available inside but probably because it's the holiday. If I recall, the place was packed during the afternoon when I last visited on a weekday. I will still say that Nana's Green Tea continues to be one of my favorite matcha spots whenever I'm in Seattle. Between the consistently high-quality matcha, delicious meals and desserts, excellent selection of teas to bring home, and genuinely exemplary customer service, it's a place I'll happily keep returning to whenever I'm back in town and have the time to visit.

They lean into forward thinking flavors, and present it without pretension. The vibes are laid back, but when it's busy you are reminded that you live in a city. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but it will get busy out of nowhere. My biggest complaint is that people don't respect the outdoor space. We live in such a beautiful place and people just throw their trash on the ground or leave the area they ate at outside messy. This slows down seating for the next person amongst other things. I'll save the cultural critiques embedded into my "food" reviews in our city for restaurants that aren't doing well. They keep things fun by rotating seasonal soft serve flavors. A lot of the sandwiches are fully loaded and you'll have to use both hands to keep the spillage in check. This place is proof that you can spend still $40-50 for two people to eat in Seattle and enjoy it. The perfect place to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon in the city.

The leaves were cut way too big (or maybe not even cut at all) which made it difficult to eat as well.
