Honestly disappointed this time around. I've been here multiple times and the drinks have been too inconsistent, especially the einspanner. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt with 3 stars because when made well, they have one of the best einspanners in Seattle. However, when made poorly, it is very lacking in flavor and has a bitter/unpleasant aftertaste.
Cute little spot! Very chill and perfect for studying. They have outdoor seating too, which is nice. The matcha and hojicha were really good, and the customer service was great.
Yoka Tea took over the former Verite Coffee & Cupcake Royale space in Seattle's Madrona neighborhood. They have been very successful the past year, that they will be opening a second location in Ballard. I had this bookmarked for awhile, but finally had the opportunity to stop in on 5/15/26. I was also amazed at the retail & residential transformation. Efiicient & well staffed. Bright transformation with merch and innovative beverages. Definitely a hub for the cafe laptop crowd and lively meetups. Decent music overhead. All the tables, counter, and shared seating were packed. So I took in the vibe seated on a bench by the entrance. I enjoyed my Hojicha Einspanner. It held up even in traffic driving through Madrona, CD, North CapHill, Montlake onward heading back north. Great spot in Madrona. Looking forward to their second spot in Ballard!
Before my Seattle trip, Yoka Tea was one of the main matcha spots I knew I wanted to hit up and I'm so glad I did!! I stopped by for my matcha fix two days in a row. The staff was so sweet, drinks were ready quick, and the overall vibe of the cafe is perfect for relaxing and studying. I also love the selection of Asian goods and local artist-made stickers they have by the register (I got a totoro sticker)! I first tried the turon matcha which I thought was good but had a mild banana flavor. I was expecting more of a caramelized flavor but I still thought it was good. The next day, I ordered the matcha einspanner. Their housemade yoka whip was so yummy and added the perfect amount of sweetness to the matcha latte. Overall, the matcha here is smooth and both drinks weren't too sweet.
I've been on the hunt for the best Matcha in Seattle and yoka tea is a top contender. It is Korean and Filipino owned, which makes my heart happy and the drinks were truly authentic. I got a Matcha Einspanner which was absolutely amazing. It was creamy and the Matcha flavor was amazing and it is a very large drink for the price compared to other matcha places. I wish I lived in Seattle so that I could come back and try their other tea drinks as they all look delicious and it made me so happy that they have Boba and toppings . The inside is very mid-century modern and beautiful. Lots of spaces to work from and outlets. They also have a little mini market where they sell Matcha among other things. I loved everything about my experience there and would absolutely go back. The employees were also so sweet.
Yoka is seriously one of my favorite cafes in Seattle! The vibes are unmatched super cozy, great aesthetic. I'm honestly obsessed with their Turon Matcha Latte. I don't even usually go for overly sweet drinks, but theirs is just perfect. The banana flavor comes through so clearly without tasting artificial, and the banana jam on the bottom is so yummm. I could drink it every day and not get tired of it. The wait could be awhile because they hand whisk every matcha drink but it's so worth it. Definitely try to Lychee Matcha spritz. (i forgot the actual name of the drink but it was a Lychee Matcha soda) Definitely worth checking out if you're in Seattle and want a cute cafe with unique drinks!
Good neighborhood matcha and hojicha with Anyoung Super merch. Limited seating with many students studying here, but great outdoor views.
I'm actually a matcha hater; the flavor is fine enough, but bad matcha is terrible: horrendously powdery and too strong of a grassy flavor. However, Yoka Tea genuinely does the best version of matcha I've had. Their matcha is smooooooth, not bitter at all, and the cream is fluffy without being overly sweet. We tried both the Turon Matcha and the Matcha Einspanner. Personally, I preferred the turon with the touch of banana flavor, but both are great options! Location wise it's a bit out of the way and street parking only, but if you're going to get matcha, this one is worth going out of your way for. Bonus: there wasn't really a wait on a rainy Saturday afternoon at 2PM.
Yoka Tea is a modern Filipino-Korean cafe with some cool vibes and unique drinks. To get here, there is street parking all around the area. Inside, they have a spacious setup with a good amount of seating. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different coffee and matcha drink to choose from. I ended up trying the Yuzu Matcha-Ade and it was super refreshing! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Come stop by and support!
I got the Turon Matcha - overall, I enjoyed it! The matcha was high quality and they use a reasonable amount of it; they also don't add a ton of ice which is nice. The banana puree at the bottom gave the matcha drink a nice sweet flavor that was enjoyable. My biggest problem with the drink is that there isn't enough banana puree, so towards the end the drink goes back to being bitter. I don't mind too much since I like matcha without sweeteners but I think it would be better if the drink was more consistent with the sweetness. Another downside is that the drink is quite pricey at $9 before tax, but I guess all matcha is just that expensive nowadays. I went around closing on a random weekday but it was still very packed and busy inside. The inside is well lit and there are plenty of places to sit and chat (though it's pretty loud so I personally wouldn't really hang out there). 4.7/5
Pretty cafe with the best creative/flavorful matcha/hojicha drinks! The lychee matcha was sweet and unique and the hojicha with cream was sooo smooth and delicious. Also local business products sold inside as well. Love this place!
The overall setup of this coffee shop was clean and cute. I love that it started as a pop-up and now has a permanent space of its own. They also collaborate with other small businesses that do pop-ups here, which is such a great way to give back to the community, often through pastry pop-ups. I also appreciate that they host a running club of some sort. It really makes the space feel like more than just a coffee shop. Matcha Einspanner - The flavor is absolutely spot on. The matcha tastes high-quality and earthy, and it balances perfectly with the velvety cream top. The only reason this isn't a full 5/5 is the ice-to-drink ratio. There was a bit too much ice in the cup. I'd recommend asking for less ice, I finished the actual drink pretty quickly because there was too little milk and too much ice. Another downside is the cost. It's probably the most expensive matcha I've had in Seattle. Strawberry Matcha - Same situation here. The flavor is on point, but there's too much ice and it's also pricey. I do appreciate that they use a strawberry compote which is a chunky, spoonable fruit mixture that's quickly cooked with sugar (and sometimes a little water). It adds a nice, real-fruit touch.
I loved the super chill vibe of the Yoka Tea. They have a variety of seating for studying and chatting with friends and a little snack/store area before the registers. Since it was my first time visiting, the barista recommended the matcha einspanner which turned out to be so so good. The sweet yoka whip was the perfect balance to the earthy matcha. My friend ordered the hojicha version which was also just as good!
I finally got a chance to come here a second time, and even scored parking on the same block and side as here! 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. read more

Drinks - I have gotten a few drinks here, but my latest obsession is the turon matcha. i have never tasted anything like it and it is legit a turon taste. like it blows my mind that someone put this in a drink. Service - always super friendly. Ambiance - very chill. meant to hang out here for a while. they also have a ton of other asian goodies inside like my fav hot garlic, the black sesame spread and the SEASONAL pineapple bun spread. read more
With this review is also a review of their signature matcha powder! I ordered my matcha latte with 100% sweetness, which the kind barista said was made with two pumps. Relatively low sweetness, although I think it was right amount. If you want more pumps you can ask for more (I think? They may not recommend it, having worked at a cafe myself, but worth a try if you have a sweet tooth). The color was gorgeous both unblended and blended, the right shade of green. The flavor was rich, well harmonized, delicious. I finished it quickly because I absolutely despise having the ice melt the drink, which speaking of, there was a good amount of ice in it. If you're someone who isn't a fan of ice packed drinks, you may not like it. For me, I'm drinking a MATCHA latte, not a matcha LATTE, so I don't mind. You can always ask for light ice but I don't know if this cafe is the type to compensate with adding more milk or doing the same volume with less ice, leading to a not full drink. In the latter case, you might as well keep the ice. I bought the matcha powder for $34.99. For 30 grams, WOW quite expensive, but I'm far from Yoka and I was thinking this would let me bring the Yoka experience home. I have my own matcha powder but I was curious what their signature blend tasted like. Whisked at home, I still got that rich green top with a dense microfoam (for my matcha, I did 3g matcha to 35g of hot water). I noticed that the powder was REALLY fine, you basically don't need to sift it. It was delicious, not too different from the one made by the Yoka baristas other than the sweetness- I added 27g of my own homemade syrup which idk what that equates to in pumps, but it was splendid. Got a good mouth feel, some mild powdery-ness despite the water ratio + amount of powder used, but perhaps I didn't whisk enough. Was the matcha powder worth it? For sating my curiosity, yes. However, I think it would be best if you went to Nana's and got their matcha powder for 100g priced at $60. Cute location, idk what the ambiance would be like, especially during a busy weekend, but in the morning it was nice and peaceful. I'll probably take my cousins here when they come up to Seattle. read more

I've been happy to see that Yoka Tea has a brick & mortar. I still remember the days that they started off as a pop-up along Airport Way. One of the drinks that I've been excited to try is the Moonrock, which is black sesame paste with your choice of milk. It is a drink from their old pop-up days, which I never had a chance to try. It's currently their seasonal winter menu, so I'm not sure how long it lasts. You can get it as-is or add matcha. Another drink that I love is their Saigon Cinnamon as a hot drink. I love how this place always does pop-ups and collaborations. In the summer, they hosted COVRY, an Asian-owned eyewear company based in California. I love that brand and it was their first time ever in Seattle. In December, they hosted twenty2bakes and her salt bread which sold out immediately. Yoka Tea also regularly hosts a run club. Along with pop-ups, they like to support other Asian-owned businesses. Yoka Tea has a variety of Asian snacks and crafts that you can browse and purchase in-store. Rooted Fare's Crunchy Black Sesame Butter is one of my favorites and there's not many places you can get it in-store here, so I was impressed to see it on the shelf! This place is always bustling and many people like to co-work here, meaning you might not be able to find a seat. Parking can also be challenging, but not impossible. If you get a chance, I recommend checking this place out! read more

Hands down my favorite neighborhood coffee/matcha spot in Seattle. If you're looking for a really sweet coffee and like banana the banana bread latte is the way to go. Otherwise for a less sweet experience the yoka einspanner is excellent. Other people I've been with vouch for the matcha being tasty, however I'm not a big matcha fan so can't personally say anything about it. They do have a few pastries from The French Guys and some Onigiri for purchase. And there is seating available however if you go on the weekend or mid morning it might be packed, it's a hot spot for sure. Something I most appreciate about Yoka is how community focused they are, there's usually events posted that are happening in the area and they also host a run club! read more
My matcha bestie and I ventured out to Yoka Tea to get their limited Moonrock Matcha (black sesame matcha) all the way in Madrona. This was my first time trying Yoka, but my friend has been at least two or three times and said that "Yoka is one of the very few places I am willing to go and spend my money on matcha". Yoka has a fairly small interior, but my friend and I were able to snag a couple of seats at the window counter. There were lots of people studying, chatting, and working when we went on a Saturday afternoon. Yoka also sells lots of cool Asian products such as corgi keychains, black sesame paste, ube-flavored popcorn, rice cooker totes, etc.. They also recently selling their own matcha for $32.99 per canister (50g I think) and have free logo stickers next to the register. The MOONROCK MATCHA ($8.99 including choice of milk) was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. They hand whisk all matcha drinks and I was SHOCKED at how vibrantly green the matcha was (you can tell the quality of the ceremonial matcha they use). The black sesame was sweet and nutty and perfectly complemented the earthy matcha notes. It was by far, one of the BEST matcha lattes I've had in a long time and I savored every sip. Next time, I hope to try their Banana Bread matcha which my friend says is her absolute fav! Parking is street only, but I had no problem finding a spot. There are also lots of cute boutique stores to walk around nearby and so highly recommend taking your matcha to go and support some other local businesses too. Service was great and the baristas were very friendly. We had our drinks in less than 10 minutes after ordering. The interior is clean and modern. Bathroom is spacious and clean too. Overall: 5/5 for drinks, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere read more

Came in for a popup they did with a small independent baker! Their seasonal drinks were amazing - especially the banana bread latte for the fall. The cafe is super aesthetic with a great mix of seating with tables and on couches. They also have a cute area selling snacks, onigiri, and stationary. Service is super friendly as well- highly recommend! read more

This place has just opened, so I'm hoping they will improve. Service was very slow. We came in around 3pm three hours before closing, and they were running out of a lot of ingredients for drinks. We got the last of the boba, and it seemed they wouldn't be able to make some of the shakes. They have a lot of seating options, but everything was taken. Luckily we were getting our drinks to go. Their prices are very high, so I won't be back often. read more
Super cute cafe! It's absolutely bumping in here and has a very trendy/young energy. I like the asian snacks that they have near the front although they seem kinda expensive. Don't sleep on the hojicha einspanner it's so good! It's very roasty and chocolatey with a rich tea flavor and sooo creamy! The matcha one was also quite tasty. read more
One of the newer matcha spots on the scene but easily one of the best in their craft. All workers are giving off performative male/female energy in the best way possible. That and the blue haired baristas are the only ones i would trust making my drinks. Summary: all the lattes are good out of the 2 i tried but hojicha is def top 5 I've ever had. Bulk approved cause it's actually a full cup. read more

The drinks are well made, balanced and pretty But they also taste good! The turon matcha could taste a lot more turonish, though. It was at the bottom of the cup, but once you mixed it the flavor was lost. Maybe sprinkle a little turon on top for a placebo effect? The croissants are fresh and good. It's a nice shop, nice corner location, bright and sunny with enough seating for work or study or social. Will definitely be back. Regularly read more
It wasn't too busy around 9am on a Wednesday during my visit! Easily found street parking across the way. Ordering was easy and service was friendly. We ordered 1 matcha latte in the smallest size. The matcha was a bit too subtle for my preference and had a slight vanilla taste. Overall, pretty satisfied with the latte and would come back to try other things. The interior has lots of space for hanging out or working. They also have a ton of Asian products/snacks for sale! I noticed a black sesame butter (like peanut butter but black sesame), chips, and more! Such a good idea and love that they make access to these items so convenient for the community. read more
My new fave matcha place!!! There's been so many new places opening up in Seattle and this one is so good. There's lots of street parking around the neighborhood which is a must for me! The drink itself was sweet and a good matcha flavor. Definitely want to come back and try their other drinks The place is pretty small so there's limited seats. And not the best place to work or study since it can get pretty loud. But it does have wifi and lots of power outlets read more

A new coffee shop to try! I had their seasonal banana bread latte and it was pretty good! It was sweet, and there were bits of banana bread that were in the drink. I enjoy my coffee sweet so I was glad that this drink met my standards. The service was good/standard. Nothing out of the ordinary. They only have their laminated menu laid out on their ordering desk. It definitely would've been nice if they had their menu laid out better. Also, their current menu didn't include their seasonal drinks, which I heard about over their social media account. The ambiance is great! It's nicely organized and decorated. There is a decent amount of seating and it gives an aesthetic environment. Definitely a good place to get some work done or relax. read more

The ambience is very very nice, sort of similar to AOU in LA! The cashier was very informative and helpful, I'm excited for their official opening! Overall, the matcha is on the less sweet side but I think their matcha flavor is very fresh and stands right up there with Taz and Phe! read more

I really enjoyed Yoka tea; both the atmosphere and the drink. I really appreciate the products they carry from other Asian businesses, they carry Gochiso which is my favorite line of PNW Asian snacks! I opted for the Hojicha Einspanner which was really nice. It was the perfect amount of sweetness to tide me over, and the hojicha taste was strong. A little pricey at $9, I would come back for it but not too often. read more

I came on a sunday afternoon and there was no seating in the cafe, but the line wasn't too bad and the service was fast. The interior is well decorated and clean. I was debating between the turon and the einspanner, but opted for the turon bc the cashier said it was less sweet and was her favorite. I'm not sure if my drink had extra syrup, but it was way too sweet. Something about the starchiness of the banana and the oat milk mixed with the nuttiness of the oat milk made this drink taste like soymilk (almost no matcha flavor at all). I don't think i'd recommend this drink to a friend. read more
My favorite matcha spot in Seattle! I went on a Friday at 8 am and had no line. The employee took a bit to make the drinks, but the results were worth it. The aesthetic of the shop was 10/10. Both the matcha einspanner and strawberry matcha were 10/10. The matcha quality was evident and the strawberry puree was delicious. Parking was easy but I can see it being difficult later in the day. read more

Worst part about Yoka is the location! While it's in Seattle, it's definitely a bit out of the way. I was very pleased by the service as the workers were so inviting and helpful. Cozy interior and exterior (outdoor seating available). Definitely interested in trying their milk tea and boba in the future. What stands out is the good vibes here. They have a run club which is pretty sweet, promote local entrepreneurs so they support local, and ultimately have cultivated an amazing community with the vibes. That's in addition to serving high quality drinks. Matcha Latte - as with all matcha, a bit pricey right now, but I'm happy to support local as they give back themselves. Smooth and rich, the matcha here is pretty pure. I believe I asked to lower sugar and they did support that but it's not reflected on the menu. The earthy roots and grassy undertones shone and matcha was not bitter. The matcha here is definitely for matcha enjoyers (less for the performative that like super sweet drinks, but still solid for that audience). Hojicha Latte - on the sweeter end with a caramel-like toasting but not overwhelming. The hojicha is smooth, rich, and nutty. It's roasted well so no burnt taste. Super great low caffeine option compared to matcha. read more
Great drinks at this tea shop! I came here for a DJ event and got a hojicha latte with less sugar and oat milk. It tasted high quality and their matcha looks good too, so I'll be sure to try that next time. Service was really fast even with a large crowd, and there's lots of space and seats available. read more

I really love the vibe here! This is a great space to hang out or catch up with a friend, and I even saw a few people studying. I really like how they decorated the place - makes it super welcoming for people to want to spend time there. Their matcha is also very very good! I enjoyed the matcha einspanner a lot. It's sweet, but not too sweet, and the perfect amount of creaminess. You can also taste the matcha as well. I saw some people order the matcha einspanner but with ube foam so I will definitely be back to try that. Highly recommend this place! read more

Oh my goodness, Sandra — you really are an elite reviewer! We can’t…
Located in a leafy part of Madrona near the lake, this spot is a solid new spot for matcha d rinks! There was a running event happening when we visited so it was a bit loud, but on normal days, Yoka seems like it would be a nice, chill hangout spot. My friend got the mango slushie which wasn't anything mindblowing, but it was refreshing on a warm day. The Turon matcha I got was a matcha latte with a jam-like banana topping, and I loved that the banana part wasn't too sweet, and that I could still taste the matcha through the milk and jam. Would happily get this drink again. Service was friendly, and my turon drink took ~10 minutes to come out - they hand-whisk all the matcha drinks! Parking was easy on a nearby street, and it was nice to be able to walk down to the water to enjoy our drinks (though there are a lot of stairs involved). read more
Loved everything about this place! Went for matcha and got a whole experience! The Turon matcha was food! Banana flavor but better! We happened to come when they had a popup of Covry - love they support other small businesses! Definitely will go back when in the area! Such an adorable neighborhood! read more
The turon matcha is sooo good! They took a very viral drink and made it better!! It's crazy it actually tastes like turon loll. Strawb matcha is good but I think I've been having strawb matcha so often lately that they are starting to taste the same to me hahaha. Great space inside with nice furniture and lots of people studying/working. Also very friendly owners! read more
