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

Urban Coffee lounge has been a neighborhood staple for years and years. I'm obsessed with the fact that 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! read more

There was a long line when I arrived around 10am on a Thursday. So if you're in a hurry either take advantage 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. read more

urban COFFEE lounge - Strawberry Matcha and a spinach and feta quiche - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Minimal seating, and when you finally get a seat all the tables are so wobbly. Pictured is my $9 coffee 10 secs after sitting down, make sure not to touch your table or risk wasting ur drink. Parking in the area is also $4/hr. The Coffee tasted fine but I was still bitter from only having half Also there key system for there bathrooms sucks. There was a wait of 3 ppl for the bathroom when I got there and took about 30min. It was the perfect storm to make me never want to come back read more

urban COFFEE lounge - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Coffee shop located in a neighborhood with other business and a lot of apartments. There is free parking for two hours and then you use an app to pay. There was exterior and interior seating, but definitely was crowded when we arrived at 10am. They were transparent that they were short staffed for the holiday and it took about 20 mins to receive our Americano and latte. They sell out of pastries quickly, they had two gluten free options available but no more inventory when we ordered. read more

They pull a very nice espresso. And yes, I mean they actually "pull" one, and they don't push a button like the Starbucks across the street do. So that means, you can ask for a longer extraction time etc. And yes, if you are a bit high picky when it come to creama, that's cool. The pasties are excellent and sourced from Macrina, who are world class. The staff are friendly, even at 630am! I recommend. It gets pretty loud in there during the day though, so bring your headphones... read more

urban COFFEE lounge - My Capuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

We have been good customers here the last 8 years but 2 years ago the drinks got overpriced compared to other neighborhood coffee places. Today we decided to give Urban another try and was met with a very rude 'barista' standing around doing nothing while two other servers were preparing our drinks. It took 15 minutes in wait time. I asked if they could bring the drinks outside for us since it took forever and the 'barista' said this is not Starbucks! read more

The positives: I like this place very much-the vibe is good and chill. The staff here is cheerful, helpful and professional and the coffee is yummy. I also have tried their quiche and it is also good. People come and sit here with their laptops for quite a while and no one seems to mind. The negatives: Parking is really expensive unless you park down by the public park. They also usually close early because of the number of employees. Big improvements could also be made on their wine selections. read more

Coffee and treats really great. My americano was perfect! 2 hour free parking now. :) Thx!!

Very good coffee, they have a lot of options. I would suggest to order ahead via the Joe app cause sometimes you have a lot of waiting. The place is cute and they a lot of seating. They is 2hours free parking nearby. read more

Loved the environment, and loved the coffee! I got a salted maple latte and it was delicious. I also love that there's a lot of patio seating (would be great for a sunny day). The inside is spacious and cozy and was a perfect place to read my book read more

Lovely little coffee shop with amazing seasonal specials (and even alcohol-infused drinks!), ample indoor and outdoor seating, free parking, and free wifi. Easy in-person or mobile ordering through the app "Joe". They even have discounts for first-time mobile orderers (check their website!) I tried their seasonal iced peppermint truffle mocha (oat milk substitute +$0.75). It was so delicious that I demolished it before taking a picture! With chocolate truffle pieces and peppermint chunks, it was the perfect holiday treat. They even have a hot version and a blended version. The other holiday drinks like the eggnog and salted maple also looked amazing, but I can't have that much caffeine in a day! With free wifi, self-serve water, and outlets, I sat and worked on my laptop in the cafe happily for hours. There are clean, gendered restrooms down the hall outside of the coffee shop. The staff were very friendly and mobile order pickup is very easy. Highly recommend checking this place out if you need some caffeine while in Kirkland! read more

Got a fresh fade at my old school barber early this morning and realized I was under caffeinated. I stopped by Urban Coffee in Kirkland, a place I've been to many times. Lots of uncovered outdoor seating, and maybe seating for about 15 inside. Good selection of baked goods and all of the coffee options. On this particular day, the young barista had an infectious smile and it was just a really good interaction. I got a pour over and sat outside in the sun. The coffee had no bitterness or burnt flavor and was pretty tasty. Definitely helped with the "fix" I needed. The complex this shop is located in has plenty of options for restaurants, Top Pot doughnuts, and a short walk to Juanita Beach Park on Lake Washington. This is a place that I've met friends at multiple times, just a good all around coffee shop! 4.6 overall! read more

Service is friendly, helpful; tea was loose leaf and tasty as recommended by the server, other drinks I've had were good in the past; ambiance is warm, various tables and chair arrangements outside and inside were well-placed and inviting. Pastries available. A Kirkland gem! read more

Love that they call themselves a lounge - the vibe certainly fits. It's a cozy space, great for catching up with friends. I decided to try the chai-der from the fall menu. It was warm and delicious, which is exactly what I needed. I also got a bacon and cheddar croissant. It wasn't toasted all the way through, so the bottom was a bit cold but it was still very tasty. If you order food, I'd recommend checking the temp just in case you need to ask them to put it back in. I was just too hungry to worry about it. All in all, great spot. I'll definitely be returning if I'm back in the area. read more

Beautiful setting and great coffee. we'd love to hang out here every day. but it's a little too far from where we live in California.

We got the coffee cake (couldn't taste the coffee in it), Caramel Latte (more milk than to my liking) and a Peppermint Latte (good). Small cozy place in Kirkland, good for a chit chat /coffee date.. follow it by walking to the Juanita Beach Park..good winter date setting! We were served quickly and could find a space to sit as well (considering it was a weekend) read more

urban COFFEE lounge - Pistachio cardamom latte and spinach quiche. Yummy - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Great place to grab a coffee/tea or some food! Good spot to sit and work on your laptop too. I love that this coffee shop opens early. I believe they open at 6:30am M-F. Their pistachio croissant is soooo good! I've never tasted anything like it. If you're adventurous and wanting to try something special, you have to give it a try. I promise you it's worth it. I'm a fan of London fog tea and they do it really well. During the holiday, they make mulled wine (haven't tried but seen this on the menu). Service can sometimes be a little slow if it's busy but that's expected. read more

Went for the famous pumpkin pie latte! It's the season! This place had lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Staff was friendly. We wanted to drink our coffee at the tables and thought we'd get proper drink ware, but instead we got paper cups. It was fine because then we were able to leave with our drinks. There's plenty of parking for 2 hours free of charge. I'll be back to try some of the other seasonal drinks they offer. read more

Really great coffee! I came during fall and tried their seasonal pumpkin pie latte, which is made with pumpkin puree and homemade syrups. It was very rich and tasted like pumpkin pie filling in the best way. The staff was friendly and greeted me when I arrived. The place was very busy, which made finding a seat a bit difficult, but I was able to find a chair after a couple minutes of waiting. The price was pretty expensive, around $9 for a coffee after a tip and adding oat milk, but they do make their syrups homemade and the coffee quality is great. But still an expensive latte. Overall a really great and cozy place to get some work done and have a unique, seasonal coffee drink. read more

Finally came to this coffee spot. I had learned of them when visiting their Kirkland space (now known as Visible) which was acquired by another coffee shop. We got our customary soy chai latte and a cup of coffee. We added a Morning Glory muffin (a favorite of mine) to our order. It was all very good and delicious. Coffee was what you want from a cup of joe. Smooth and comforting. The chai wasn't "spicy" enough. But that comes with more visits and "adjustments". Recommend? Yes I recommend. read more

Under new ownership. Completely ruined. 1 star I hate it when this happens. A community classic, a staple, the go-to, the hangout, the corner cafe - ownership changes hands and it's never the same. Urban Coffee Lounge has been a Kirkland favorite since 2012. With its popular Slater and Juanita village locations, UCL won our hearts with handmade syrups and care in every cup. Today, the products are undrinkable, the staff are not familiar and the charm is all but gone. read more

Such a lovely, cool, real "neighborhood" coffee shop. The workers are always so friendly when you enter and they make such quality beautiful espresso drinks. I have so much to say about all the things I love here. Let's start with... the food and drink! Quite the variety of drinks that they serve: espresso to lattes to shakeratos to matcha and chai teas to even alcoholic drinks. When you get a drink for dine in, they give you delicious little chocolate covered espresso beans as a little treat to go along with it. You can ask them to adjust sweetness and other aspects of your drink to a T. They carefully select food from quality local vendors. Everything looks so enticing and prices are reasonable. Quiches, burritos, scones, cookies, rice Krispy bars, muffins, sweet bread, bagels. And they even have versions for those following gluten free or vegan diets. Their outdoor patio is dog friendly and perfectly placed to capture all the sun in the afternoon. They always have filled water bowls for the dogs that hang out or walk by. Every weekday afternoon they have a happy hour with discounts on alcohol and on Wednesdays half off bottles of wine. Love that they open late. Love that you can order on Joe coffee and they have promos on there every now and then. Love the art featured inside. Just much love for this place. Come by. Make this your new "third place." read more

I was in Juanita yesterday and needed (1) caffeine and (2) a laptop-friendly place to get a little work done. Another Yelper had recommended Urban Coffee Lounge and it turned out they were just around the corner - yay. The day was sunny and warm, so I grabbed an iced coconut latte with oat milk to quench my thirst while simultaneously fulfilling my need for a PNW-style mid-day energy burst. This coffee delivered on both fronts. First, I've never had a coconut latte before. It just sounded good, and "kinda" tropical, so I figured why not. I'm SO glad I did! It was creamy, smooth and delicious, with just the right balance of coffee and coconut without being too overwhelming in either direction. I'm embarrassed to say how quickly I slurped it down. In fact, I considered going back for another! Huge shoutout, too, to the fabulous Austin who made my drink. He was so friendly and outgoing, really made me want to go back and become a regular at this place. Oh and bonus that they have fantastic outdoor seating! read more

I've been here several times before and have always had a great experience. My visit today has lead to me say that I won't be returning. Apparently the ownership has changed and it's just not what it was - lines are long, they are understaffed, drinks are overpriced, the cool vibe is gone. Such a bummer. read more

Amazing place to sit. The furniture is sure to keep your stay to under 5 minutes. A backrest that is pushing you forward. A cute couch with a backrest big enough for a small animal. There are a couple of tables and chairs but they are guarded carefully. Marvels in architechtural design. Coffee good. Gotta go. Five minutes is up. read more

We were visiting the Juanita Bay Park when we decided to checkout a new coffee place. Urban coffee lounge sounded interesting so we decided to drop by. The coffee shop is a short walk from the park, so if you can't find parking, you can park there instead. Ordered the Cardamom Vanilla Latte. It tasted good, just the right amount of sweet. The cardamom taste wasn't noticeable though, so I might try other drinks next time. I didn't know the shop has a rewards system, so the employees could let customers know. Prices are reasonable, little lower than Starbucks read more

This cafe is surrounded by paid parking, but if you follow the road a little further, there is a street with free parking so you can sit in the cafe and relax without worrying about what time you need to leave, or pay for more time. After that, the cafe is easily accessible, plenty of seating, nice ambiance, not too loud, so I could get my work done. There were plenty of drinks on the menu and food to choose from. What struck me as unusual and exciting is that they have locally brewed Kombucha on tap. That's what I went with. It was pretty mild, but still good. read more

Delicious cappuccino breve and Cortados, wouldn't opt for the London fogs here. Quick services, extremely dog friendly

I used to love Urban--it was my go-to spot for years. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff were friendly and welcoming. It felt like a hidden gem. Unfortunately, over the past few days, everything has changed, and not for the better. The atmosphere, has shifted significantly. It's less cozy and more chaotic. You can tell how overworked and burnt out the staff is. It used to be a place where you could relax and work for hours, but now it feels rushed and uncomfortable. I don't know what happened, but this coffee shop went from a neighborhood favorite to just another disappointing spot. It's heartbreaking because it used to be amazing. read more

As someone who's been to many cafes, this is my favorite coffee spot! The cafe itself has such a cozy vibe, it's perfect for studying/work or even for a date. They also have outdoor seating which is really nice for sunny days. They have seasonal flavors so I love coming every month to try. So far, every single seasonal flavor has been delicious. The truffle mocha is such a rich and smooth flavor, probably the best mocha I've ever had. I would highly recommend to anyone who's a coffee lover to try it! They also have solid food options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. read more

Not Urban, okay Coffee, and not sure how it's a lounge. The best thing going for this place is the location and space. With 4 people behind the counter, they still take 10 minutes to make a drink. I felt bad for the guy who had to wait in line for 13 minutes to get a coffee refill. The cappuccino was okay. Avoid the pastries and cookies. The cookies are undercooked and for a cookie that includes the word Strawberry in the title you would expect to taste strawberry. As for the empanadas, they aren't empanadas. I was also annoyed to not get the one I order and the staff were unhelpful. read more

Owners just sold and now the coffee tastes horrible (though they say they haven't changed it something is most definitely different), also just now I went in to get a coffee and 3 people behind the bar, each of them staring around twiddling their thumbs waiting for the other person to make the coffee. They all just kept looking at each other with a blank stare on their face with not a care in the world, didn't put any of the vanilla in my coffee that I asked for and it took them no less than 10 mins to make me one latte smh, hopefully this changes soon read more

I visited on a Sunday afternoon, lots of parking available and there was no line. I got a iced caramel latte, which itself was just alright. What left a bad impression, was the fact they don't accept cash... oh but don't worry, they still accept cash tips. Make that make sense. read more

Completed a cathartic sennin-so shiatsu session and needed a boost, so thanks to Yelp decided to check out Urban Coffee Lounge (12/8/19). Juanita Village has grown and feels like an insta mini community / urban village without feeling like a soulless mixed use strip mall. Very busy at this indie coffee shop, ahem pardon, lounge. I like the vibe with the live actual convo crowd outnumbering the laptop patrons. From the welcoming guy at the register stand to the female barista with a million dollar smile...no snotty, faux hipster attitude here. The holiday tunes, wood tones, art work, plants, light fixtures, and natural light from large windows felt just right. It felt good to be amongst humanity here. My 16 oz mocha was spot on delicious, beautiful latte art, creamy, hot, balanced. And there shortbread half was as expected being McTavish. The chocolate half will be for The Homie. When I inquired, turns out they have been in business this coming February 2020 for 11 years. Obviously, I have been under a rock. Very nice to discover a well established indie spot, Urban Coffee Lounge in Juanita Village! read more
