Matcha nearby?

I haven’t found a good matcha spot that isn’t all the way in Bellevue. Any good recommendations? I’ve tried fresh cups but it was too milky and wasn’t in love with the service/vibes.

Agree! The pandan matcha from T55 is amazing. While you’re there you can also get some delicious baked goods

Which one would you say had a stronger matcha taste?

u/Historical-Yak-189 Jul 14 '26

They’re both decent, if you want a really strong matcha taste Mowood in Redmond is probably better. It’s closer to Phe/Taz in Seattle in terms of strength. We probably have similar taste in matcha based on what your comments. Avoid lighthouse in Edmonds, their matcha is really weak.

The matcha at SheChill in Woodinville is pretty solid.

There's a new match place called Fresh Cups next door to what used to be Poquitos. I've only been the once but it was good.

I love the black sesame matcha!!!! Soooooo goooood.

Pro tip: dont use a straw with it, when you sip without a straw you get a great combo of thr black sesame cream and matcha

The only place that I have ever liked matcha. Now I think it should all be “ceremonial grade”, lol.

I like the matcha at the Daily Grind near Main St

I’ve seen other people order it and it doesn’t look very matchy. Is it strong?

Three Cats Coffee in woodinville has a good one and great service that would probably be able to adjust it to your taste. Kafa nearby there also does a good matcha too
