If you’re a matcha lover or just matcha curious, Nana’s Green Tea in South Lake Union or Bellevue is a must-visit destination. Sometimes referred to as “the Starbucks of Japan,” this Tokyo-based café chain brings its modern Japanese teahouse concept to Seattle with style, serenity, and a whole lot of green goodness.
The star of the show is, of course, premium Uji matcha. From lattes and floats to parfaits and soft-serve, matcha is served in nearly every form imaginable. Each made with high-quality Japanese tea and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness. For a refreshing twist, try the hojicha (roasted green tea) drinks or a matcha cream latte with house-made syrup.
But Nana’s isn’t just a drink spot. The café also offers a thoughtful food menu with savory Japanese-style rice bowls (donburi), miso soup, and light bites that make it a perfect lunch or afternoon break destination. Their matcha anmitsu parfait, layered with jelly, red bean, shiratama mochi, and soft-serve, is a fan favorite and perfect for sharing.
Bright, modern, and calming, the space reflects the brand’s Japanese roots while fitting right into Seattle’s sleek café scene. Whether you’re looking for a quiet solo break or a sweet treat with friends, Nana’s Green Tea is a vibrant blend of tradition and trend.
