    Joy Q.

    Came here for coffee. Ordered one hot espresso drink and one cold espresso drink with oat milk. Both were okay. Convenient dt Kirkland location with some seating.

    Ordered a mocha...got a white chocolate latte. Told them that was not what I ordered and they said sorry. I handed it to the barista and said I cannot drink this and they said sorry. No offer to correct the drink, zero customer service=zero customer satisfaction. Horrible experience. I used to love this place but doubt I'll come back again.

    Thruline Coffee, nestled in the heart of downtown Kirkland, offers fantastic brewed coffee and lattes. We were greeted by a very friendly barista who took our order promptly and had our drinks ready in no time. They also offer baked goods and a refrigerated section with deli options. The drip coffee is served from a thermos and is decent--I tried the dark roast. On another visit I had an oat milk latte, which was delicious. My husband ordered the spiced cider and thought it was a bit tart. I visited once on a weekend evening and again on a Saturday afternoon, and both times the place was hopping! Prices are affordable, especially compared to neighboring cafés. The walls are adorned with photos of people--presumably notable visitors--though I didn't recognize any of them. Still, it's fun to take in the diverse collection of faces. Parking can be tough, so I recommend parking near the Kirkland Women's Club and walking about 10 minutes. Otherwise, expect to pay quite a bit for parking.

    Come for the coffee, stay for the latte art? Amazing coffee, great working environment, and super staff, led by Adam, Kate and Craig! If you're really lucky, Olivia will make you lattes that look like Mickey Mouse. That's Mickey Mouse, right? And they advertise their sandwiches don't contain rats right on the box (see image). Unconventional, but very reassuring. Thruline is great!

    Decaf americano, carrot cake
    Hanna K.

    Cozy atmosphere, friendly service! The carrot cake and cheesecake are yummy, and the decaf americano was solid - not too acidic and the perfect temperature. Love that this place is open until 9pm, which is so rare for a coffee shop. The only thing I'd point out is that the leather on the wall seating is cracked/old - I was wearing shorts and it was quite uncomfortable. The only matcha option here is sweet, which I was a little bummed about. There is ample seating, and free street parking nearby.

    Iced matcha latte
    Taylor M.

    I ordered an iced matcha lattee with almond milk and it was sooo sweet. I personally like a matcha latte with just the matcha and milk without the added sweetness, but the menu did not indicate any added syrups or sweeteners. But if you prefer really sweet matcha, then it is perfect for you. I would give it another try but would ask what they put in it first. All the sandwich and pastry options were nice though!

    Honey Lavender Seasonal Latte ($6ish)
    Wendi K.

    4.5 Stars Cozy coffee shop in downtown Kirkland with plentiful seating and yummy drinks with beautiful microfoam ^___^ The pastry case had so many tantalizing looking sweets - cakes, pastries, bars, scones.... and the cold case had egg bites, acai bowls, parfaits, juices. Honey Lavender Latte ($6ish) and Vanilla Latte ($5ish) were both wonderful. I think the owner was there (kind looking gentleman with oval glasses) and he seems to really care about his business :)

    Amazing coffee

    Very quaint and cozy space to grab a drink. Their chai is very good! Definitely need to try their sandwiches, as they look very appetizing.

    Great coffee, location, and service! Seating is a bit tight in the weekend, but otherwise a great spot to meet a friend for coffee or tea

    This is a very accessible and friendly place if you're a tea beginner to expert levels. They sell…read moreteas and tea accessories, as well as loose leaf teas and ready to drink hot/cold teas, lattes, etc. I attended one of the tea classes and I think it was a good experience for beginners. We got to sample five teas and several pieces of chocolate, as well as snacks to clear the palate between teas. We learned about tea and how its harvested, as well as the processing of tea. We also learned about the tea flavor wheel and identified tea tasting notes in the sampled teas. I do wish there was more of a compare and contrast between the teas - it would have been cool to try the same teas but early vs late season, or tea processed similarly but from different regions. If you're new to tea though, the classes are perfect for you!

    We visited LizzyKate as we were interested in taking one of their tea classes. We had seen several…read morepop up in the past, but hadn't seen anything interesting in the past few months, so we dropped in to ask about them. Apparently rather than being prescheduled most of the time, they are held on demand. We asked for an Oolong tasting session and was able to get one penciled in a couple of weeks later. The store itself is appropriately decorated for a modern and trendy tea shop. There's a bit of an overpowering perfume that lingers throughout the store. It's not the best setting for a tea tasting, especially when trying to differentiate tasting notes when the olfactory glands are already completely saturated with perfume. LizzyKate has a decent selection of true tea, nothing super unique or rare, but I think they lean towards the more accessible blends and tisanes in the first place. Oolong Tasting Class ($35/per person) - Tasting sessions are held in the bar area, brewed mostly using gaiwan with carefully measured water temperature and volume. The class provides some educational material including laminated papers describing the tea production process, growing regions, anatomy, etc. More importantly, unlike some other tasting sessions I've attended, they actually provide pencil and paper, along with brewing instructions, to write down cupping and tasting notes. It certainly beats taking notes on my phone as I usually do. For this course, we tasted a white tea and four different oolongs. My personal tasting notes as follows (for future reference for myself): Bai Mu Dan - Mild, mellow, sweet and slightly astringent flavor with notes of honey and hay. Light golden liquid that's very easy to drink. Tie Guan Yin - Caramelized sweetness, vegetal leafy with a tiny earthy element. Darker golden color with more astringency and round lingering taste. The leaves smell smoky and roasted. Baihao - The smell is distinctively roasty and earthy, approaching the fermented smell of puerh. It has a brownish color and tastes smoky and earthy like peat. Formosa Oolong - It tastes of malt and molasses, with a certain oxidized toastiness. The color is more dark brown although it's not very astringent given the color. Osmanthus Oolong - This smells more malty and surprisingly not that flowery in aroma. The mouthfeel is extremely creamy and silky, almost like milk with the balanced taste of barley and hops with only a slight osmanthus flowery taste in the background. I think the base used is Jin Xuan given the milkiness. With the tasting also comes some treats including mini muffins and some tea infused bars from a chocolatier in Singapore, Fossa Chocolate. I think LizzyKate is more geared towards people who don't have much experience with tea and want a place that's extremely welcoming and modern. They have lattes and plenty of herbal and fruity infusions to help beginners ease into the complexities of tea, While this shop isn't for me, more tea shops are always welcome in the area. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who want to dip their toes into the world of tea. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

    Such iconic coffee! Got a cappuccino!! Great service! Very nice atmosphere and quality drinks!read more

    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!
