11 Best Cafes in Kirkland

“The chicken kebab plate is OUT OF THE WORLD. I used to have this favorite Persian place in nyc and was worried I won’t find something similar. I can safely say I’ve found a BETTER place. I think the portion size and quality of food totally justify the price. So happy I found my new go-to place! :)“

“This place holds a special place in my heart! A coffee shop open until 9 PM right in the heart of downtown Kirkland where everyone comes together for coffee, music and good company. I’ve spent so many hours here studying and working and it has truly been an integral part of my life. I love their mochas and the club sandwich! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Kirkland!!“

“Cute homey space with flavorful food and unique Xinjiang dishes, and warm service. You feel the care in the food. Large variety of dishes makes it great for a group lunch outing. Standouts are the spiced lamb meat pie, and cilantro beef appetizer. I bought their green pepper chili oil to take home, and it's seriously good on everything! Mala numbing feeling and depth of flavor.“

“This place truly serves the best Turkish food in the area. Their Donor is absolutely the best. Great customer service and wonderful staff. Their Chef and kitchen staff are all Turkish so you will get an authentic Turkish Food. I tried everything there with many if my friends and it's always great. Also they serve delicious Turkish coffee a d Turkish Tea. The homemade desserts are also amazing.“

“DELICIOUS! People need to start reviewing. I came here after 7 clients recommended them! So nice and friendly. Always willing to explain the flavors in such a cute place!“

“Solid work or study spot. The atmosphere is a little dingy, but I don't need much to be productive. There are several outlets (consider bringing a long cord, some are a little far from the table).
Also they forgot about my drink and I had to inquire about it, but I didn't mind much.“

“I’ve been coming to Sano pretty regularly since they opened, and I really love the concept and the healthy food options. The smoothies, salads, chocolate bars, and chicken and steak boxes are some of my favorites.

One thing I’ve noticed almost every time I visit is that the tables are often dirty, both inside and outside. I think having someone check and clean the dining area every 30–45 minutes would make a big difference. Cleanliness really affects the overall experience.

I’ve also noticed that the meat portions have gotten noticeably smaller compared to 3–4 months ago.

Overall, I really like this place and keep coming back. I’d just love to see a little more consistency with cleanliness and portions. And please bring back the Orange Sunrise!“

“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.“

“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!“

“WOW!!!!
We went in “just to look” which my wife and I know is trouble! Lol - I started talking with a nice younger woman behind the counter and she was so knowledgeable - turns out Anne is the owner! Just people experience was exceptional and the treats, the best I’ve ever had! We end up with 3 different cakes, and 6/7 pastries - every one was a different experience and SO Good!

I’ve owned multiple businesses and people experience is my #1 then the product.

Both were incredible! Can’t wait to visit my mother in law again! Yes, I said that!

Let’s Go!“
