50 Best Cafes near Kirkland

“Update they gave me a refund even though I never asked. The customer service is always good and well done. There was a misunderstanding like I had said. I wouldn't let this I misunderstanding Let me stop coming here, and I still come here even after the incident.

The food is good. I am not gonna lie. That's why I am often getting my food here.

Thank you noon, Cafe.

After carely stating what I wanted and what they claim. The food turned out to not be what I paid for. Total around 40 for just this... after opening this order, I am definitely despointeted. This place is good and the food is good but this order with price is ridiculous. I have been honest, I am very disappointed.

This was 40 int total....! Honeste

Imagin buying a whole goat, and then you see only some parts in your order. You were told the whole goat.“

“Decent coffee joint in the heart of kirkland.
We got two hot beverages. Was decent not the best.
Order was messed up in the first attempt but was quickly replaced.
The food options were limited as well but looked good.
Recommend this place if you are in the neighborhood“

“Ellen and her family are wonderfully friendly. Their food always hits the spot and reminds me of my mom's cooking. I highly recommend the beef scrambled eggs rice bowl and the dry fried green beans. The egg tofu is also delicious. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.“

“Yummmmmmm!... excellent service .. definitely a must!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is hands down the best boba experience I could ask for. Their Tiger Tea is a must try! I dont live in the area but my friend took me here once, so now anytime in the area, I have to get my tiger tea! Its seriously a game changer. I can't help but finish it in under 10 minutes.“

“This self-service concept where we ordered first and then bus to our own cleaned up. Despite this, we returned for a second visit!

The first time, we ordered teh tarik, which unfortunately was rather bland, tasting more like milk than tea. However, the nasi lemak was flavorful with a small portion of sambal, but the sambal had a surprising level of heat. This was unexpectedly good, especially since the cold weather made us crave some warm and comforting food. We also ordered kaya butter brioche toast and Milo.

The second time, we ordered Mamak Mee Goreng, coffee, Mocha bomb and curry meatballs. The Mamak Mee Goreng was good but lacked the expected spiciness. We searched for chilli sauce in the open space, but unfortunately, there was nowhere to be found. The drinks were mediocre.

So overall, it felt like Malaysian fusion, where we did not expect an exact replica of the originals, we hope for a taste closer to 80% of the authentic level.“

“I got a 12 oz latte and a salmon crepe.

I was somewhat disappointed with the latte. It was rather bitter and while the mug might have been a 12 oz one, it was rather far from being filled. I think more milk would have helped on both fronts.

The crepe itself was pretty good. There was a decent amount of salmon in it. However, the tomato chunks were so big and numerous, that they overwhelmed the taste, made the crepe a bit soggy, and also rapidly cooled it down. The plate could have also been bigger - the food barely fit on it, so eating was a bit annoying.

Service was very friendly and quick with the orders. Great job!

The café itself was spacious and pretty quiet with no TVs, which is great. There's also plenty of space between the tables, so it should be easy to navigate with a wheelchair. It could use a bit of renovation, though. The wide open space where you can see and hear everything happening in the kitchen makes it uncozy. The vibe is closer to a student cafeteria, than a quiet café.

Considering the above, the price/quality ratio could be better in my opinion.

Parking: There's plenty of free parking spaces in the library parking across the street.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance and the whole restaurant is flat with plenty of space between the tables.“

“The best Coffee in Totem Lake!!!“

“Such a great coffee shop with friendly staff who know what they're doing. It's beautiful inside, and the selection of ready-to-eat and even hot foods is quite good. My favorite is St. Petersburg tea!“

“Delicious food, perfect tea, and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I love the Edmonds location because I can walk there from my home! Cannot recommend highly enough! Five out five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️“

“I brought a friend with me from out of town to visit this cat cafe- neither of us had been before. The staff were very kind and it was clear how much love is put in to the care and well being of the kitties. I’d recommend coming here, they have cute stickers and cat toys and other merch as well! Bring a few friends, I think the experience would be best with a slightly bigger group of friends (maybe 4-5) just so you have more people you know in the room with you (meaning, fewer strangers in the room) since they do cap the number of people that can be in the room at a time (for the kitties safety and wellbeing!).

Parking: May be difficult to find a spot really close, will likely have to park a couple blocks out on the street. Parking was cheap, about 5$ for just over an hour. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but give yourself some extra time and grace to find a spot.“

“Best coffee I have had in Seattle hands down.“

“If I lived in Seattle def would be my go to restaurant. Amazing service and incredible food. Highly recommend the Dutch Baby. Salmon Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup! Do you deliver to Ohio?? 😁“

“Excellent service and good food!“

“We absolutely LOVE the Seattle Meowtropolitan!! My 8 year old and I have been visiting regularly for more than a year now and we‘ve bonded with all the amazing kitties! Everyone who works and volunteers here is so kind as well. The kitty-themed drinks and kitty macaroons are all delicious too! And the cat-inspired decorations—even in the restrooms—are wonderful! It’s a kitty paradise for all the cats and humans who visit. :) We highly recommend everyone who loves cats visits this magical place!“

“Very good coffee nice service“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“We come almost every weekend. Comfort food to the MAX. Would happily give 5 stars if we could, especially given they seem to treat their employees so well (e.g., extended time off after the new year) Almost half the options are vegan, which is much better than most places. They often have a new vegan option of the month as well! Make sure to check the hours before you come; I’ve been absolutely crushed realizing they were closed only once I tried the door 😩😩“

“When I tell you that this was one of the best brunches I've ever had, I'm not exaggerating.

My best friend went to UW and has been raving about Voula for YEARS. When I finally visited Seattle, this was the first place we added to the list and it did not disappoint. We ordered the pinata benedict and the Greek hobo and both were so unique and tasted phenomenal. As a potato lover, I couldn't believe the size of the hashbrowns. It was bigger than my face!! I was so stuffed after and with their low prices, it felt like such a steal. Also, the service was so unbelievably friendly. I ordered coffee and I must have had 4 refills because of how attentive they are. Voula's had such a mom and pop feel and made you feel so cozy. It seemed so many who were dining around us were regulars. I still think about this food and I cannot recommend Voula's enough!“

“Online order for a playershand book 2024 alt cover. Bought one on amazon and came so damaged and shipped in a bubble bag. Searched online and came across your store and you guys actually had a copy everywhere else is out. Got it today all i can say is please open a store here in michigan!!!!! Best packing, fast service and you seem to care about your customers i give you a huge thumbs up!! Highley recomend shopping with this company.. A+ service and prices cant be beat. Thank you guys your team truley rocked this sale.“

“Wonderful food, great ambience and the strawberry smoothie stole the show for us. If you're in the Edmonds area give this place a visit!“

“Vegetarian options: Today was my first visit to Livbud; I found it through Seattle Restaurant Week. The service was great and I enjoyed the mushroom tartine, but the roasted eggplant soup was absolutely delicious. I can't describe the flavor; an unusual kind of pepper might have contributed to it.

There are a lot of other dishes I want to try in future visits. That soup will be hard to resist, though!“

“Excellent breakfast. I had the corned beef hash, which I would recommend.“

“Favorite coffee place in Seattle. Just moved to the area and the first time I had a decent latte in my entire life was here!

They allow dogs, post outdoorsy social events to join, and the drinks are the best around. Trust me I’ve been looking for a proper coffee, and it’s consistently great here.

Shout out to the guy working Thursday evening and Friday morning. He’s very fast, friendly, and relaxed. And makes a great latte 😎“

“I came by daily for my coffee breaks and lunch couple of times. It's a great kitschy coffee place with warm and cozy vibes. Comfortable different type of sofas and chairs scattered around the place. It was a great place to pop in for a break while I was nearby for site training. All of the staff was so helpful and friendly too!!“

“Excellent bakery bagels and some cookies pastries coffee was superb. I got the drip coffee it was made perfect I highly recommend this place. There’s not a lot of food but if you just want something light with your coffee, this is the place.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️Was aimlessly wandering SeaTac and stopped by to try a sample…the sweetest woman introduced me to my new favorite coffee. I was nervous about the taste after attempts to choke down dirt water (other mushroom coffee alternatives), these are SO GOOD! Very smooth. The night time tea is also delicious if you like chamomile ☕️“

“Great food! Strawberry Basil was amazing! (The one with the bite out of it. It was mine lol) and The vibe inside is awesome. Super friendly. Definitely stopping by whenever in the area. Thank you!“

“I am a regular customer of DeLaurenti since early 2000s.The products they sell are of top quality; the sandwiches and everything you can find in this store is delicious. However, I was not feeling well lately and could not drive down there to do my regular biweekly charcuterie and chese shopping for months. I hesitated to use their delivery service because of the perishable items, but I still wanted to give it a try. The same day delivery worked like a charm. Everything was well packaged and labeled clearly. I’m glad they offer this option for those who cannot travel there, and I would certainly recommend the delivery service to everyone.“

“Love this place and its so cute!“

“Delicious custard taiyaki and toffee coffee. I did a last minute order from here, and wow; both things were amazing. ❤️“

“We stumbled upon this little Cafe while waiting for a train to come in. we had the Bánh mi drip! Absolutly amazing,so much flavor!!! the broth to dip in was so yummy! I'd drive the 4 hrs to eat here again!“

“Bang Bang Cafe had friendly staff and super yummy drinks! My daughter said the Strawberry Matcha was the best she's ever tasted.“

“Have been wanting to come here for a while and finally came by for a pre-work coffee. The barista made my espresso perfectly and was great to chat with. The vibes in here are spectacular, not too loud, free Wi-Fi, and I love the upstairs seating area!

There weren’t many food options left but I think I just visited too late in the day!

Will definitely be back here very soon.“

“I came here to plug in for a few hours one Sunday and loved it! They have a very lovable seasonal drink menu and the pastry case looked great. They also have breakfast and lunch bites, with lighter and heavier options that change by season. I had their smoked salmon tartine -- super good flavors (loved the touch of olive oil), fresh salmon, high-quality bread, large portion, and excellent overall. I also had their autumn latte (half sweet with oat milk) -- the espresso was good quality and the spices came through, even though it was half sweet (full sweet probably wouldn't be overwhelming for most people, I'm just not a sweet drink person, so I tend to be cautious when ordering drinks like that). They have WiFi, a couple of outlets, and indoor and outdoor seating. I'd say the vibe is slightly more suitable to socialize or have a quick bite, but people sitting at the bar were plugged in for a while. Oh, and they have plenty of wine bottles on display, so there's lots to explore here! I'm thinking you'll find something to love about this place!“

“This was a great experience. Probably the highlight of our trip for my 11 year old. The pastries were super fresh and flakes. The coffee was smooth and delicious. The atmosphere was great but it was pretty slow when we were there. I think it would get really loud with event moderate amount of people.“

“I have lived in Redmond for 8 years and have somehow never visited River Trail Roasters. I finally broke the streak today, and I'm glad I did! They are so, so nice there - and reviews are not kidding when they say the coffee is strong, lol. My Americano was great, super deep, roasted flavor and not acidic. It also smells great in there. Prices aren't too bad for Redmond either, I was pleasantly surprised.“

“The staff at this cafe should teach classes on customer service and kindness. The most lovely staff. To top it off, the coffee and food was great. I sat in the Cafe for about an hour and listened to the staff, talk to customers, give out hugs, and genuinely care about the regular customers.

My sister is blind and when we meet up for coffee, lunch, or shopping, I am always hopeful the staff will recognize the white cane and adjust appropriately. This place again was above the mark. The staff helped guide her to the front counter. Helped with the card transaction and brought the food and beverage to her when it was ready.

One of the hardest parts of going out is hearing someone say to her it's right there and point. It's so frustrating... the barista at this cafe explained what was on the screen and made the selections for her.

Thank you for making my day and giving me hope. ?“

“Customer service is great. The owner was serving us and she's as so nice! She told us how the shop opened in June during the pandemic. There isn't seating inside but just across the street is a cute open public seating area. We got the chocolate chunk salted cookie, the vegan triple chocolate cupcake, mocha, and chia with oat milk. I recommend all of it! The vegans triple chocolate cupcake was perfect, moist and light.“

“Stone Way Cafe was one of those spots I followed on Instagram long before I finally got the chance to visit. Known for their breakfast burritos, I made my way there on a sunny Saturday morning around 9:30 a.m. It was easy to find free street parking just a few blocks away, but as expected, there was already a line of 15+ people out the door. It’s clear the staff have a solid process down, because we only had to wait about 15 mins for our order.

My friend and I each ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, a side of potatoes, a matcha oat milk latte, and their special coconut cold brew. The burritos were generously sized and packed with flavor. We didn't realize they already came with potatoes inside, so the extra side of potatoes ended up being a bit much which was good to know for next time. Towards the end, my burrito was pretty oily but that makes sense since it was sausage. Both drinks were solid, but nothing to write home about.

I really appreciated that the restaurant offered a variety of hot sauces -- sriracha, Valentino's, and Tapatío -- which is essential for me when it comes to breakfast. Prices were fair for Seattle, especially considering the portion sizes and quality. The cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot year-round.

Next time I'm in the area, I'd love to swing by for lunch -- their other food and drink items looked just as tempting!“

“I live in the university district and I frequent this cafe’ and I brought my Russian girlfriend here and she and I have enjoyed many of are desserts from this location.“

“The young gentleman who helped us was very kind, patient and helpful with answering questions related to our allergies. The food was wonderful! This place is a real gem!“

“Such a lovely and convenient location. Helpful, friendly service. A simple yet elegant atmosphere ♥️☕️“

“Monorail Espresso - A Beacon of Warmth in Downtown Seattle
If you're in Seattle and looking for more than just a caffeine fix, Monorail Espresso is the place to go. With multiple locations nestled in the heart of downtown, this gem has become my favorite spot, especially during the challenging times we've all faced in recent years.

Monorail Espresso has been a constant source of comfort and energy. Throughout the long, quiet months when downtown was nearly deserted, their stands stood open, and their baristas continued to serve with a smile. They provided more than just coffee; they offered a sense of normalcy and connection that was deeply needed.

Their friendly faces and warm interactions make every visit special. Whether you're a regular or a newcomer, you're greeted with genuine kindness that makes you feel welcome and appreciated. It's this unique blend of excellent coffee and heartfelt service that sets Monorail Espresso apart.

As we all step back into the hustle and bustle of daily life, Monorail Espresso stands as a beacon of hope and community. I'm incredibly thankful for their presence and the joy they bring to each day. If you haven't experienced it yet, do yourself a favor and drop by. You'll find more than just a cup of coffee; you'll find good, strong coffee and good, kind people that make you feel at ease.“

“Supporting a family business has never been as enjoyable as at this hole-in-the wall cafe. You can tell the place is beloved by regulars and makes you want to become one. You immediately feel welcomed the moment you enter and the service and food quality is impeccable.

Kid-friendliness: A quiet, casual spot where you know a child could find something to eat they will enjoy.“

“We love this neighborhood spot! Amazing food and great wine & cocktails. Above all, the staff are so welcoming and great. I highly recommend their dinner service and their happy hour (currently 3-5). Recommendations: any of their specials, their (vegetarian) lasagna, chicken pot pie, savory cheesecake, all the apps. They also have a wine club you can look up on their website. Definitely recommend this place for a date, after work to wait for traffic to die down, a special occasion or family meal. They have some cute outdoor seating and are family friendly. I would recommend reservations or at least looking but they also have a small bar you can sit at. On weekends I recommend a reservation as they are in a smaller space (don't let the location across from the Newcastle library in the shopping plaza fool you-this is a great gem). You will feel comfortable as you are, or dressed up here too. The friendly owner is often around to welcome you and make sure you are having a great experience! Parking is easy, it's friendly to persons with a disability, and there are vegetarian options. I am sure you can ask about other dietary restrictions. They have a great vibe and lovely art.“

“kind and welcoming staff and the food was delicious“

“Best Mac n Cheese in the city!“

“Great products and excellent customer service. Love their coffee!! Specially “” their cappuccinos “ 😊“

“Shawn’s bakery is simply the best! Mouthwatering sandwiches, soups and don’t get me started on his pretzel roles. The Artichoke and Pesto sandwich is amazing and the Fig sandwich is over the top! Thank you Shawn for delighting our taste buds.“
