Matcha Magic Bellevue

This is probably my favorite matcha place in the Bellevue area! The environment was super cozy and aesthetic and quiet. I ordered a strawberry matcha and I was very satisfied! I could taste the house-made strawberry puree as well as the rich matcha flavor. They also had a lot of matcha options on their menu, so there’s something for everyone here! Loved this place and definitely recommend you visit.

So many different options if you are into matcha. They also have other drinks if you don’t like matcha. The lavender ube one I got was delicious. Just make sure you mix it well! Otherwise you will have just matcha leftover and it’s fairly bitter.

Matcha was either lower grade or not executed very well. The employees were dismissive from the moment we stepped in and seemed to barely make an effort to properly whisk the matcha prior to serving. They did ask awkwardly if I cared what kind of milk I’d like which should have been done when taking the order or made to standard if unspecified. The end product was a chalky, clumpy yellow green matcha that could have been made at home using Costco matcha. Experience could have been better if: 1 - employees taking order looked like they wanted to take the order 2 - if we set a standard milk choice and or ask for preference during order 3 - use a better quality matcha that doesn’t have a gritty mouthfeel 4 - use proper whisking technique or ditch the show and just blend it like Starbucks.
