    This is an adorable little coffee shop. They had some fun espresso martinis and it was mostly…read morequiet on a Friday in the early afternoon....until it wasn't! Definitely a hopping place at the end of the workday. It's got a darker ambiance and it's cozy. It has indoor, outdoor, and patio seating, though we chose to stay indoor. Pro tip - the poofs make you sit REALLY low. The food choices around 1pm were dismal, and limited. Maybe they'd sold out, or maybe they just don't have a lot there, but nothing even looked fresh enough to warrant purchase. The other thing that killed me was the service. There was one person on the entire 4 hours I was there, and it made for an incredibly slow experience. It was friendly enough, if not a little dismissive. Prices are reasonable and there is paid parking across the street, but take that with a "for Seattle" caveat.

    I was a regular here for years and in addition to spending thousands of dollars, left this location…read morea glowing, five-star review. The staff at the time were warm (Michael was the best), knew regulars by name, and made every visit feel special. The coffee was excellent and it felt like a true neighborhood gem. Over time, the people who made this place so memorable moved on, and with them went the quality and the warmth. I opted to support other local coffee shops instead. I returned recently to use a reward I had accumulated, excited to see how things had changed since my last visit. When I asked to check my rewards balance before ordering, I was told I could only do so after completing the transaction. Every other coffee shop I frequent allows this beforehand, so I pushed back to clarify. What followed was one of the most unwelcoming interactions I have experienced at any business. The staff member's tone was hostile and dismissive from the moment I asked a simple question, and it did not let up. I felt uncomfortable enough to cancel my order entirely. When I asked for a receipt to confirm my refund, she threw it away in front of me. A colleague had to ask her again on my behalf, and she snapped that she had already discarded it. Another customer standing nearby witnessed this exchange and looked visibly appalled. I reached out to the owner privately before leaving a public review, hoping to have a real conversation. She chose not to follow up with me about my experience. Instead, she wrote back to say she had already spoken with her staff and that a separate customer had contacted her to say I was the problem, and that her team had handled everything with grace. She closed by suggesting I had not met a basic standard of respect. I want to be clear: the customer she referenced appeared to be acquainted with the barista. I will leave readers to draw their own conclusions about whose account was actively sought out. I also want to note that I am not alone in this experience. Other reviewers here have flagged the same pattern of cold, unwelcoming service at this location. That tells me this is not an off day. It is worth reading those reviews before you visit. The refund for items that were never made has still not been processed, four days later, which caused me to have to reach out to an owner again. I have now been refunded. I share all of this because I think people deserve to know what to expect, both at the counter and if something goes wrong. This is not the place I once loved, and the ownership's response confirmed that.

Loved the vibe, friendly & mellow staff, and the seating area space. There are long tables to work at, comfy seating with games, and chairs to enjoy your coffee with friends. I ordered a drip to try out...did not disappoint. My kids ordered some iced coffee - sorry I wasn't paying attention when they ordered - and they were delicious! We did order a few food items to share for a snack but they were gone before I could snap a pictures. The coffee was perfect, no hint of burnt flavor. I heard the food was also good but it was gone before I sat down. The merch was simple but you will want to buy it all!

    The vibes of this place are immaculate. It's so cozy and screams PNW. Our server was also really…read morefriendly and attentive. We got the salmon rice bowl, cauliflower and yodelin broth with shrimp added. The salmon rice bowl was essentially a salad topped on rice and fresh salmon. The quality of the ingredients were fantastic, you could tell how fresh it was but the actual dish itself wasn't anything crazy. The yodelin broth was a bowl of complex flavors. You could taste the fish, and it was very comforting. The mini shrimp in it were surprisingly good and they don't skimp out on the quantity. Finally, their cauliflower dish was delicious. It was a little crisp without being overly hard. The creamy sauces paired so well with the chili crisps. Definitely on the pricier end for the food but so good.

Their coffee is consistently excellent, smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. I usually stop by Redmond location and this was my first time visit at Kirkland location. The baristas are genuinely kind and attentive, and you can feel the community vibe the moment you walk in. It's the perfect spot for a calm break, a little treat, or a cozy catch‑up with a friend.

    I had enjoyed previous visits to Five Stones Coffee Company at their Redmond and Bellevue sites. I…read morewanted to try this Kirkland spot about six weeks ago, but it was closed earlier for a staff event. Thankfully, we were able to stop in 45 minutes before closing time (4/21/26). 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 other members are fantastic, friendly, and fabulous. It's an eclectic mix of businesses and freelancers -- not just tech startup people. Marnee also does a lot of community events including member lunches, happy hours and seasonal celebrations. Also lots of free parking - no need to deal with parking in downtown or SLU.

Let me just lay…read moreit out: 1) Parking is free and so much easier than any of the co-working places downtown. 2) There is an incredible DIVERSITY of people here from all sorts of backgrounds; if you aren't wanting to work exclusively in a tech bubble - this is the place to be! 3) Marnee (who captains the ship) is super friendly and engaging and has really created an excellent, welcoming community here. We have regular happy hours, member events, and there are plenty of opportunities to get to know your co-working neighbor. Alternatively, if you want to huddle behind a desk with your headphones in, you won't be harassed. 4) Rent's high and getting higher! A co-working space is the best way to utilize your business income to marketing and outreach rather than wasting it on hyper-inflated rents and painful long-term contracts. 5) A full kitchen means you don't have to eat out - unless you want to. Note - it's stocked for Happy Hour and also houses private conference rooms and a place to film video. I'm incredibly grateful for Marnee's creativity and initiative in getting Works Progress off the ground and running and keeping it going. I never expected my rent costs to *drop* over the years, but they have! If you are sick of sitting at home staring at the walls come in for a free day trial and meet the gang. They're happy to have visitors!

    The location here is great, being right by a coffee shop and some cafés. The people that run this…read moreplace are really nice and helpful though it sounds like they usually have a waiting list or just a few openings. I compared this location to the Work and Play Lounge in the junction, and neither were right for me right now, but I could see them working for a lot of people. I think they will both work well for somebody that does mostly heads down work, I would always feel like I was disturbing people since my role is more client facing and on a lot of calls consistently. If you're comparing this place to the Work and Play Lounge, this one has monitors you can plug into, two or three rooms for taking calls or a private space, and seems to have some kind of community focus to start meeting people that live near you. Not sure if this changes by season, but there's not great lighting here, whereas work and play has a view and more natural light. unfortunately neither of the co-working spaces in the area where I live we're going to work for me and I ended up taking the water taxi over the WeWork downtown to avoid a Bellevue or Ballard commute in a car. Probably would've went with this business due to its location if they had telephone booths or better call taking options like WeWork does. Great to support local company if this space works for you though.
