- coffeeMy experience at the restaurant was largely positive, with great food and great coffee served quickly. However, there's a significant issue with the lids for the cups; they are impossible to drink out of and barely stay on, which detracts from the overall experience.
- drinksThe Hot Matcha Latte had a stronger milk flavor than matcha, causing the matcha taste to not really stand out. Overall, the drinks were very pretty and the matcha itself is great.
- matchaThe atmosphere was good, and the staff was friendly. I enjoyed my matcha drink, though I agree with other reviewers that the price is reaching. However, the quality of the drink is definitely there, and I hope they stay in business because they’ve done a good job with the space.
- Matcha MatchaMatcha Matcha and Toffee Miso - both were smooth and not too sweet
- toffee misoCustomer service is always top notch and their coffee is great! I recommend any of the cieros and the toffee miso. I will be back for their happy hour and late-night snacks as well!

Frequently criticized

- Macrina pastriesUsing Macrina pastries seemed like an after thought
- Strawberry Matchastrawberry puree was not enough for the drink
- chai teachai tea was very milky and lacking flavor
- coffeethe coffee is pretty mediocre for the price point
- coffee beansMy experience at this establishment was centered around their coffee. If this establishment roasts its own beans, the roaster needs to adjust their curve and ensure the beans are given sufficient 'development time' past the first crack. This is essential to fully mature the flavors, eliminate the raw/grassy notes, and build the required body, transforming the current weak and sour result into a truly drinkable cup.

The atmosphere was rated 4, service 3, and food 3.

- iceI paid extra for the large size today but it seemed about the same size as the regular. When I finished the drink, over half the cup was filled with ice. I wish I could ask for less ice, since this also makes it hard to mix the drink when it's full.
So, should you go? If youre keen on trying unique and delicious drinks like their Toffee Miso or Strawberry Matcha, youll likely be very happy. Just keep in mind that some found the coffee hit-or-miss and watch out for potential ice overload in your cup.

Frequently criticized
- ParkingMy experience at this new cafe in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District was fantastic. Parking can be tricky, so I’d recommend taking the light rail, as it’s just a short walk from the station. Here’s how I’d rank the drinks I tried: Toffee Miso Latte (so unique + my fave) 🥇, Strawberry Matcha 🍓, Matcha Matcha 🍵, and Classic Matcha Latte.

- price to quality ratioI also felt unusually caffeinated after this drink. I'd give the price to quality ratio a personal rating of 4/5, but I want them to succeed, so I'm giving them a five on the review.
- pricesI stopped by this new coffee spot and really enjoyed my experience! The drinks were refreshing and flavorful, not watered down at all, and the prices were very fair. They also offer a good amount of snack options.
Frequently criticized

- parkingParking space:Somewhat difficult to find parking
- priceI don’t think the price is reasonable
- price pointI gave this place a few shots, but the coffee was pretty mediocre for the price point. The caffeine cream Italian soda was giving Panera vibes.
If youre looking for a quick, affordable bite, you might find some fair prices here. However, be mindful that many feel the drinks, especially, dont offer great value for their cost. It's a bit of a gamble, so manage your expectations on drink sizes.
How are the prices at Miero?
You’re looking at roughly 10 per person – reported by 33 diners. That puts it in the $1–$10 category. For a Cafe, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Most diners (23 out of 33) keep their spending within the $1–$10 range. A few venture into the $11–$20 bracket, and just one person spent a bit more. So, while the average is 10, most folks are sticking to the lower end of that.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 33 reviews.
How this Cafe’s value for money stacks up against similar spots in Seattle.
Overall, we think the pricing here feels quite fair for a Cafe. It offers good value for what you get, especially if you’re looking for something quick and tasty without breaking the bank.

Miero: A Gem for Coffee & Community
As a resident living just down the street, Miero has become my absolute GO TO place for coffee since its soft opening in the international district. My personal favorite is the toffee miso, which is absolutely delicious! I especially love when Nani makes my drink; she is phenomenal and consistently ensures my drink tastes amazing.
The atmosphere truly feels like a home away from home, with incredibly helpful and kind people. They also offer Korean skincare, and the staff are true experts, with Bu providing the best advice for achieving that coveted glass skin. My passion for coffee is immense, and after trying many spots in Seattle, Miero definitely takes the cake.
For late-night studying, they offer wine, food, and a full coffee menu. I highly recommend their baked Brie and the fig flat bread pizza. Ciara is fantastic for a late wine night experience!
Thank you, Miero, for letting me grow with you and this community. I hope to see this shop thrive as they bring so much life and joy to the community.
