Kitanda is a Brazilian coffee shop, and their Kirkland location is large, roomy, with a…read moreBrazilian-focused grocery store plus snacks and sweets. Two staff members were busy making drinks. I ordered my drink via the tablet off to one side. Truth is if the staff greeted me, I very likely would have bought some pastries from their bakery case. Since I didn't have anyone to ask questions, I skipped it. Mocha Shake, 20oz, $6.99 - 4.5 Stars Each drink allows an impressive array of choices - milk type, whipped y/n, shot type, sweetness. It's almost like ordering at a bubble tea shop. The Mocha shake was pretty and yummy, even though a bit watery. It might be because I chose 2% milk. Not dinging them for that. Guaraná Antarctica Zero, ~$2.50 - 3 Stars I should have looked it up before purchasing. I was curious because the store has cases and cases of them. It is a Brazilian soda created in 1921 made from the guaraná berry native to the Amazon rainforest. There is a natural caffeine content for a mild energy boost. I actually thought the image is cherries (stupid, I know). The zero-version tasted mega-sweet. I'm sure many will like it, just not me.

Kitanda has been one of the worst customer service I ever had in Seattle…read more Staff rather talk to each other and avoid customers waiting than offer help. Waited for 20 min to literally have someone grab something from the warm stove they display food and when asked for help, just got a "you got wait for you number" in a not welcoming tone. They do not represent Brazil, unfortunately.

We really liked this place. It's a bit hard to find tucked away in sort of an industrial area but…read moreupside is plenty of easy parking! It's got the vibes of a small family run business which we really liked and want to support; and everyone we talked to was super friendly and helpful. The inside has a few tables but overall isn't really a cafe you'd post up and do work in. Feels more like a grab and go kinda place or just eat your stuff quickly and be on your way - luckily we came for the food not the ambiance. The churro concha was excellent (filled with dulce de leche) and overall not too sweet. The classic chocolate concha was good too, fluffy pillowy and the right amount of sweetness. We got a guava rose iced tea as well. Good selection of flavors like guava, hibiscus, mango :) yum. Lastly we tried the tamales. One green and one red and both were excellent as well. Would definitely considering catering them from this place if we host a big event in the future or picking up a bunch of morning pastries when people are in town!!

The location is a little hidden in the back of an industrial complex, but it has close access to the river trail. On a sunny day, it's nice to take the food outside and eat by the river. Service is quick and there's seating inside with a few tables and some games. They're trying to make it a community space.
