25 Best Coffee Shops in Kirkland

“Love this coffee shop - has an awesome vibe (I think very Euro!) - the friendliness and warmth of the leadership team definitely transcend to the baristas. Undoubtedly the best coffee as well. Keep up the amazing work Sanju and Shalu...“

“Our family loves Five Stones. They’re incredibly nice, fast and the food is delicious. We love their chai.“

“A great variety of flavors is offered. We tried hazelnut & pistachio latte - loved both.
Looks like table & chairs don’t get cleaned often. We grabbed a table and it was very dirty & messy, and someone who grabbed the table next to us had the same complaint.“

“The Customer Service and My White Chocolate Mocha. 🤗“

“The cafe made my experience waiting for my vehicle while in service that much better. The customer service was friendly and helpful, the waiting area was clean and comfortable, and with free wifi along with a ton of food and drink selection will make me come back. Thank you LJ Cafe!“

“Cosy atmosphere Cosy atmosphere 😀😀“

“All the baristas are pleasant and sweet! Coffee is always hot and flavorful! White coffee is the best here! Coffee beans are my fav little touch! You also can’t go wrong with their prices!

Dietary restrictions: Alternative milk options!“

“Their drinks n pastries are unique that you won’t find it anywhere else. Definitely worth the wait!!!“

“Love going to Gourmet Latte. The Kingsgate location is excellent and the people that work there are so kind. They never get my drink wrong and it always tastes delicious. Very easy to enter and exit the drive thru coffee shop. If your ever in the area get a dark chocolate blended Mocha....so delecious!“

“Nobody does the Medici like they do that’s coffee with chocolate and orange peel. I love how they charge based on the size of your drink for your alternative milk versus just a flat amount so when I get a 12 ounce I just paid $.50 for my almond milk. Thank you.

Just as they have done since the first store in Queen Anne, they are supporting local artists. Take a look at my photos to see this talent.

They have a variety of snacks, including vegan muffins“

“A very lovely employee named Tara was walking through the seating area and was so thoughtful and observant that she stopped and asked me if I need any napkins or water. I've never encountered such service at Starbucks, almost made me feel like I was in a cafe. Felt like she actually cared and was looking around her store for a way to make things even better. The small gesture she made really surprised me in such a nice little way. I hope she becomes a manager one day!“

“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!“

“The staff here is exceptional! I was indecisive, and the barista patiently walked me through their seasonal specials with genuine enthusiasm. They were fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Great customer service makes all the difference. Thank you for the wonderful experience!“

“Best coffee in Totem Lake! Everyone here is super nice and they always accommodate my little modifications. I switched to sugar free iced mochas recently. Sugar free at other stands is absolutely disgusting but Libby's sugar free is amazing! Im a little surprised to see one star ratings but im guessing that's from the previous owner.“

“para Mi es Muy agradable ir tomarme una bebida ya que todas son deliciosas el lugar muy agradable su personal joven muy atentos gracias por su atención ❤️“

“Great place! 5 stars - only thing that was weird about today (and maybe it was just me) it was exceptionally hot inside the store today 😆. It was cooler outside than in the store which made it hard to focus. I was wearing shorts so I kept sticking to the chair. Other than that, amazing vibe.“

“The lighting is horrendous in this new store. It is so bright, that I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get a migraine every time I walk in there, but I really like the location. Additionally, the staff has a really hard time working in that space with the lighting the way it is, and I would hope that someone would be thoughtful about making a comfortable workspace for their employees. Anyway, other than that, I love the new location and the staffing and the coffee as always is delicious.“

“One of the only places that have white chocolate powder 😍“

“The most incredible staff and the drinks/food go hard! Make sure to ask for the full menu so you can really immerse in all the possibilities! I will always go out of my way if I'm on the Eastside to get coffee here, run don't walk!“

“Starbucks Totem Lake

What was already good just got even better!

I visited the Starbucks at Totem Lake today, a place I often choose to meet with friends and clients. The service is always impeccable, but today I was pleasantly surprised.

For in-store consumption, we were served with glass cups, porcelain mugs, and plates, which made the experience even more enjoyable. In addition to reducing the use of disposable items, this change made the environment feel more welcoming, cozy, and comfortable.

Small details truly make a big difference.
Congratulations on this initiative and improvement — I absolutely loved it!“

“This former Burger King has been transformed into a spacious and inviting Starbucks, the newest on the Eastside. The staff is comprised of the same great & friendly people who worked at the tiny storefront Starbucks (with no drive-up window) in Totem Lake West that I used to frequent.“

“Huge fan of this place! Great ice cream and drinks, and super comfy shirts too 😁. Extremely friendly owner and staff, definitely would recommend checking them out and supporting a small local business!“

“We are very thankful to Store Manager Zoe and the Starbucks team for their continued support of International Community School event. Our nurses, staff, and volunteers who conducted the annual vision screenings appreciated the refreshments and the thoughtful surprise of Starbucks reusable cups ☕️💚, which made the day extra special! Your generosity and ongoing support of our school are truly appreciated. Thank you for being such a wonderful community partner! 🤝✨“
