Urban Coffee lounge has been a neighborhood staple for years and years. I'm obsessed with the fact…read morethat they make their own syrups, with the exception of a few. I absolutely love their specialty drinks like honey cardamom, and a shakerato. The vibe and atmosphere is wonderful. It's usually social and low-key but never too loud. They have excellent food, matcha with option to remove sugar (not all coffee shops have this!). Generally, I feel like their staff is really great! Love the location minus the issues with parking being tricky for a quick stop, sometimes need to pay. I keep coming back here! With gas prices over six dollars and budgets getting tighter for so many the one thing that hinders me is their prices. Their baseline drinks are an average of $5.75 + tip. Quiche slice is $8 two hard boiled eggs near $4. Typical typically if I'm gonna spend almost $10 I'd rather buy a fancy drink like a bubble tea or go out for an appetizer and food. When you own your own espresso machine and Matcha at home it's hard to justify getting such expensive drinks unless there is that "I can't make this at home" appeal - housemade syrups, Boba, etc I do love that urban coffee lounge has pour over options which can be time-consuming and cold brew, which is delicious and also more time-consuming. I appreciate their presence in the neighborhood. Having lived in Seattle for so long with so much access to incredible coffee I appreciate urban coffee lounges level of expertise with coffee. It is more rare on the east side. (Zoka is great of course!) And I will keep coming back, but sparingly due to prices. (Am I the only one who feels this way? Let me know!) Thanks for being here, urban coffee lounge!

There was a long line when I arrived around 10am on a Thursday. So if you're in a hurry either take…read moreadvantage of their online ordering or plan a head. They do have a restroom, plenty of seating outside, kinda limited seating inside. They do have a wide array of offerings. I got the spinach and feta quiche with a strawberry matcha. The spinach quiche was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed that. My strawberry matcha was not too sweet (I usually ask for everything half sweet and did not this time). The staff were friendly. Prices are reasonable for this day and age. I sat outside and enjoyed the sun! It's a great place to hang out, probably not great for groups unless you sit outside. Dogs are not allowed inside, so tie them up or have a buddy watch them while you go inside. Parking is street or under an apartment complex near by. Not sure if you pay or validate inside those apartment retail parking garages because I parked along the side streets. Park Mobile is the app you use to pay for parking. I paid about $4 ish for an hour. Overall, if I'm in the area and got the time to hangout, it's a cute place to do so.

Amazing coffee, very nice staff, and great atmosphere for a coffee shop. One of my favorites!read more

Everywhere, someone has a variation of ube something. The ube flavor here was very pronounced. Growing up in the Philippines, I know all too well the labor of love that goes into turning the unassuming purple root vegetable into a savory purple yam. This latte combines the best of both worlds: earthy notes from the matcha mesh well with the savory essence of ube. It was happiness in a cup.

Café Hagen is my go-to in downtown Kirkland, and I've been enough times, big groups, quiet family…read moremornings, to know it holds up. The seating is the main draw for me: an open interior with booths inside, plus patio tables when the weather cooperates. There's room either way, so it works whether I'm with a crowd or just family wanting something low-key. It gets busy, which makes sense given how popular it is and where it sits downtown, but the wait is always shorter than I'd expect. Service is fast and friendly even on weekends. The food backs it up. It's a Copenhagen-inspired spot with coffee roasted in-house, and everything I've had has been solid, the almond croissant especially. Reliably good, and that's why I keep going back.

Anything not in the fridge is absolutely disgusting, completely ridden with flies. They were still selling these pasties that had soooo many flies all over them, It's disturbing. Definitely only get the refrigerated ones. The domos were ok but over priced. The coffee: vanilla latte was ok. Tasted very acidic/under extracted. The cold brew was also bleh. It's an interesting experience, I think we would be back for the pastries if they weren't so covered in flies, but seeing as they are, probably won't be back.

THRULINE COFFEE @ DOWNTOWN KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available along the street, and there are also multiple parking lots throughout downtown Kirkland. I ended up parking near the small plaza with the UPS Store and Nothing Bundt Cakes, and it was only about a 3-minute walk to get there. When I walked in around 9:30 AM on a Tuesday, it was already pretty packed. There were a lot of people on their laptops, grabbing coffee, and just hanging out, it felt super lively. I love the overall environment of downtown Kirkland, so I was really excited to finally try this spot since it's been on my radar for a while. I was also meeting a friend, which made the experience even better. I ordered their pizza scone, and it looked so good, and it definitely delivered. It was warm, crusty, and had such a unique flavor combination. I've honestly never had anything like it before, and it just felt perfect for a spring morning. I also got a hot chocolate, which wasn't my favorite. It leaned more on the watery side. The space itself is really nice and spacious. They have plenty of seating in both the front and back, which is great whether you're meeting friends or getting work done. Their menu is also pretty extensive, with options like sandwiches, pastries, drip coffee, matcha, vanilla lattes pretty much everything you'd expect from a café. One thing I appreciated was how fast the service was. Our order came out in less than two minutes, which was impressive, especially given how busy it was. The staff were also super friendly, which always makes a difference. Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe here. Even though the hot chocolate could've been better, I'd still definitely come back and try more items.

Noon Café is a casual family diner offering traditional grilled kababs (aka kebab), appetizers, sandwiches, and pizzas - all Persian/Iranian style. The interior is basic, decorated with photos of Iranian landmarks (I assume). Currently, they have a memorial due to the ongoing war. (Peace to all...) Service is warm and friendly. Be sure to ask questions if the dish names are unfamiliar. The Food: Soltani, $32.99 - 4 Stars Soltani includes one skewer of Koobideh (ground beef) and one skew of Barg (flank steak). Both are well-seasoned with excellent flavor. We ordered the flank steak medium rare, but it was medium with no pink inside. The steak was tolerable, not as tender as it could have be. This dish was served with rice per the menu. After I saw another table has their kabab served with a bread, I asked the server. She said other than rice, there is a choice of Persian bread (flat bread with sesame) and salad. Curious that wasn't in the menu nor did she say it. Not a dealbreaker. Her reply did raise my eyebrow. Zaboon, $16.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Veal tongue, simmered and fried, tomato, pickles, parsley Based on the description, the texture completely threw me off. The meat is mushy to the point of spreadable. The flavor is light with minimum seasoning. I applied hot sauce liberally to the sandwich. Portion size is large. I ate only half. Fries, $6.99 - 3 Stars Menu: Golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside Some pieces aren't crispy enough. Some pieces are too thick such that the inside has the potato gritty texture. The sauce is a house-created flavor. We like the sauce more than we like the fries. The food is closer to 3.5 Stars. I like the family vibe and am rounding up to 4 Stars for the overall rating.

A very welcoming barista crafted a pair of 16oz mochas with really nice coffee art. Note that cash payment is not accepted. Points can be accrued via Toast by signing up with your phone number. Nice clean cafe with plentiful natural light, healthy plants, and mirrors. There's merch and coffee roasts also available for purchase. I can't speak to pastries and other menu items since we were there towards the end of the business day. Majority of the folks seated along the counter were taking advantage of natural light while working on their respective laptops. Counter seating, as well as, table seating are available onsite. Pleasant, brief visit to their Kirkland indie cafe location. Appreciated the tasty mochas.

The parking lot can be quite busy or filled during day time hours but easy to park during dinner time. This café is eatery style where you order at the counter, and they bring you the food. Three screens behind the counter show the menu; there are no paper menus. On the Friday night when we went with two friends, this little eatery was packed with plenty more for takeouts and deliveries. The clientele suggests many are regulars. We were lucky to score two pairs of small tables to make a table for four. Service was basic; everyone was busy in the kitchen or at the counter. We were offered a complimentary hot cup of Turkish tea on a cold night. Thank you. This little place is neat and clean but not a place to linger. The value is good with sizable portions. All four of us were happy with our dinners. The Food: Beyti Doner, $22.50 - 4.5 Stars Doner meat, wrapped in lavash bread, covered with tomato sauce, served with tzatziki sauce. Very delicious with a good combination of textures and flavors. Their doner meat has a discernible meaty texture without being greasy. We like their doner meat much better than A.D. also in Kirkland. This is a sizeable meal, and I brought half home. Iskender Doner Kebab Plate, $22.75 - 4.5 Stars Sliced doner meat is topped with hot tomato sauce and melted butter over pieces of pita bread. This is a rich and very filling dish that my hubby happily finished. Lahmacun, $8.95 - 4.5 Stars We shared this crispy lavish bread with minced ground lamb/beef, their version of flatbread, with our friends. All four of us like it. It's a smaller bite and sufficient as a meal for a smaller appetite. A must try. This place is 4.5 stars overall. I rounded up due to reasonable cost (for Eastside) and portion size.
