Do you believe in magic? Matcha Magic is brewing up expansion in the Seattle area, with three new shops on the horizon.
According to Seattle Met, the matcha-focused cafe will debut in Redmond on Aug. 9 at 7705 168th Ave. NE, followed by planned locations in Capitol Hill and South Lake Union.
Founded by Rachel Barnecut and operated under Conscious Hospitality Group, led by her fiancé Norman Wu, Matcha Magic first opened in Bellevue and has since expanded to New Orleans. The hospitality group focuses on brand concepts rooted in authentic experiences and aims to create a sense of connection and community, according to its website.
Matcha Magic’s menu features a wide range of matcha-based beverages, including creative lattes like the Matcha Horchata and Strawberry Matcha. Signature drinks include the Matcha Colada—made with pineapple and coconut—and the Purple Rain, blending lavender, ube and matcha sweet cream. Tonics include house-made lemonades and the Coconut Matcha Cloud with pink coconut water. Smoothies range from the fruit-forward Berry Magic to the creamy Cloudy Coconut, all topped with coconut cream.
The cafe also serves açaí bowls and toast made with seasonal ingredients. Highlights include the Uncrusta-Bowl and Coco Glow, topped with hemp granola, fresh fruit, nut butters and coconut matcha chia seed pudding. Toast options range from classic avocado to the PB Crunch with banana, blueberries and honey. A toast flight lets customers sample any three half-toasts.
While it’s unclear if the new locations will mirror the Bellevue shop’s hours, that location is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
