    My hubs with his mom! We all enjoyed our brunch.
    Peg C.

    My hubs and I took his mom to DERU Market to celebrate Mother's Day the day before (Saturday). Even though not everything went well, it was such a great experience that we will for sure come back again. I signed up for the waitlist at 11:15am before we left for the restaurant. When we got there at 11:40am, we checked in and the staffer said it would be approximately an hour to hour and a half wait on top of our already 25 minute wait. Whoa! We didn't know these were typical weekend waiting times. My MIL was willing to wait so we took off and came back in an hour. At that time, they were able to seat our party of three at a table outside. So, it took us about 90 minutes total to get seated. Note to future diners to get on the waitlist early if you're coming for weekend brunch!!! You use a QR code to order from an online menu. Liked how detailed the menu was and how we could remove or add ingredients. With my dairy and eggs intolerance, this comes in handy. My MIL ordered Eggs Benedict, I got the smoked turkey sandwich on focaccia, and my hubs got the chicken sandwich on focaccia. Our sandwiches were packed with lots of deliciousness, but my MIL's English muffin was toasted so hard she couldn't even cut through it with a steak knife. So she sent it back and she also asked for her poached eggs to be cooked harder. The staff member was apologetic and said no problem. It took a while to cook it, but when she got her remade Eggs Benedict, she really liked it. We split a slice of apple bread which was delicious. So happy it was dairy free! My hubs also enjoyed his London Fog. My MIL got a huge slice of coconut cake to go and loved eating it later, telling us it was very moist and coconutty. It was a bright day with nice weather and was a perfect time to try out DERU Market. Even though it was very busy, all of the staff were friendly and attentive. They worked like a well-oiled machine. We definitely want to come back and try more of their dishes, pizza, and desserts.

    Wow, this spot is popular! Reasonable prices and delicious food. I visited on a sunny Wednesday for lunch and the restaurant is thriving. It's very lively, has indoor & outdoor seating, and even a busy curbside pickup. Parking is limited but there is plenty on the surrounding streets. For the food - The salad was amazing and fresh, pizza was great too. DERU Market is known for their delicious cakes, so save room (and time) for dessert! Pro tip, there is an online wait list you can join ahead of time, but it doesn't give a wait estimate unfortunately, so you will have to ask up front.

    Update: I've been back a couple more times and ordered a lot better. I like their fries, pizza, and pasta. They have interesting fresh juice drinks when they aren't sold out. I would avoid the cake (way too big, sweet and dry when I got it) and matcha, and I think their brunch is better than their lunch/dinner. Service is always pretty friendly and it's a nice vibe especially on a sunny day.

    I have been trying out food from DERU( mostly pickups) since 2021 and it has never disappointment me. Their salads, pizza and sandwiches are amazing! Matcha was ok. Their cake slices are huge! So one is more than enough for the table.

    First time here and heard great reviews! We don't come to Kirkland much but I am definitely adding this to my list! We got a beef pizza and French fries. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. I see that they have a different menu for lunch and dinner I really wanted to try the carbonara but I guess it's on the lunch menu. Sandwiches looked good so I will be back to try that too!

    Farm salad
    Sarah J.

    The farm salad here is always sooo good! I tired a different type of pizza this time than what I normally get and I wasn't a fan. The pizza was dry and so was the chicken. Service, as always, was ok.

    Scramble
    Maxine L.

    A lot of hype around a spot means a long wait and that's what we definitely had. For a table for 2, we waited ~1 hr for a counter seat outdoors. Parking is also kinda crazy since DERU's dedicated parking area is pretty limited. I ordered a matcha latte and the market scramble. Matcha latte was okay, color was not super bright, and the flavor itself was watery and not creamy. The scramble on the other hand was super creamy and delicious. I loved the variety of herbs and the crispy bits of potato. Would've been even better with some sourdough toast to go with it though. Overall, a pretty good experience. Ingredients were super fresh which I enjoyed, and the flavors were pretty spot on.

    You guys by now know I love Deru especially with how amazing their menu items have been of late. Unfortunately for this instance it didn't go as well which is why I'm docking the star. So I come in after work and I'm very aware of how limited items are so I order my delicious coffee cake to go. We sat, had delicious decaf coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. One of my colleagues ordered a peanut butter cookie and OMG was soooo delicious (this is different than the gluten free one they've had for a while, which is also delicious) Now it took an ungodly long time to get anyone's attention to get our to go orders out, which was unacceptable when I could see the two young ladies talking behind the bar. I get the comradery but 20min of none stop, I will not look at you, got to be a bit much. So when we flagged someone who wasn't our waitress finally and asked for our to go orders, well... they hadn't packed it I don't even think they knew we had ordered till we mentioned and by then the cake was gone... Uh the sadness... Anyway, yes the food is good, yes the ambiance is pretty but service needs an little more attention

    Nice little spot for a casual breakfast/lunch. The wait can get pretty long, so be prepared for that. I went during lunch time and the menu was mainly pizzas and sandwiches. My partner got a pizza and I got the roasted chicken & goat cheese sandwich. The bread on the sandwich was kind of like a focaccia and was so good. The sandwich was well balanced in flavors too. The "vegetable soup" that came with it turned out to be butternut squash, which was a bit of a surprise and I was kind of disappointed as it's lower on the soup tier list for me. The pizza was good, but nothing super outstanding. We also got garlic knots for the table and those were tasty with the marinara sauce they came with. Drinks were decent. Our table got a latte, an Americano and a matcha latte. My matcha latte seemed to be lacking sweetness and the taste of honey was not there even though it said it came with it. Service wasn't bad, but the food (and drinks) did take a while to come out.

    I've been wanting to go to Deru for a while. I've heard nothing but great reviews and now I know why. The place is pretty popular, and don't have a lot of seating. So, highly recommend planning before your visit. They do have a waitlist, if that helps. The lady who helped us was extremely sweet. She was just too kind throughout. And coming to the food, we had the mushroom pizza, the garlic knots, sweet potato fries and a coffee cake. Everything was so fresh and tasted absolutely delicious. The pizza though had a weird smell to it. Don't think I'll get it again but LOVED everything else. Highly recommend the place!

    sweet potato fries

    Curbside ordered the sweet potato fries, blueberry brioche, and the cold brew. The take out experience has you pull out front and the staff greets you immediately! The servings were huge! The food was so fresh , every dollar is worth it. The coffee was pretty great too and I need to come back, great outdoor seating for a warm day too.

    Signature Salted Peanut Butter Cake
    Kimmy L.

    After many years, I finally had the opportunity to visit DERU Market with friends for brunch on a chilly Sunday morning. DERU is known for their sandwiches, pastries, and huge cakes (at least 16' rounds) including their signature Salted Peanut Butter Cake. A friend bought me a slice of their peanut butter cake years back, and if you like chocolate and peanut butter, this is the cake for you! I was surprised that DERU is tucked away in a neighborhood and are located near some automobile repair places and not off the main Kirkland drag. They have a small parking lot and limited street parking- I get why many people opt to do takeout here instead of fight for a spot. My friends and I arrived at DERU at 9:40am, but there was already a 45-minute wait for seating indoors (note that the restaurant is super small with only a handful of tables and some coffee bar seating). However, they had outdoor seating available immediately and so we opted to brace the cold and sit outside. The waitress offered blankets, but they DO NOT have any outdoor heating lamps for the colder fall and winter months. So make sure to bring your puffer coat and gloves! TIP: While DERU does not take reservations, they do apparently have a waiting list online. Next time, I will get on the waiting list while I am driving to save time and hopefully get a table indoors next time. DERU starts serving their lunch menu at 10am, but breakfast options are available from 8am-3pm on weekends. I ordered the: - 12-OZ 1/2 CAF LATTE ($4.50) with CINNAMON GINGER SYRUP (+$0.50) and OAT MILK (+$1.50): this might have been the BEST LATTE I've had in a long time. The milk was super creamy, the espresso was smooth, and the cinnamon ginger syrup added the perfect sweetness and spice (I didn't even have to ask for half sweet!). It was steaming hot and served in a cute bowl. - SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH COMBO WITH SALAD ($17.50): the sandwich was toasted to perfection. It came with an abundance of greens, layers of smoked turkey, thinly sliced apple, and cheese on toasted focaccia bread. The salad was fantastic too and was a pile of different greens mixed with herbs like dill which added a nice unique twist to your typical salad. It was lightly dressed in a vinaigrette and served with roasted carrots and feta or goat cheese. My total with tax and tip came out to just over $30, which is definitely on the pricey side for a sandwich and drink. They were also out of many items including hot soup (which i would've opted for instead of the salad to stay warm) and vegetarian sandwiches. Service was great and the servers are very friendly. You can order and pay through the QR code on the table or you can ask them for a paper menu and order with the server instead. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere (please invest in heat lamps!)

    Been enjoying DERU for nearly a decade (?) now! This is such a great place to eat. Tucked away in an unsuspecting neighborhood in Kirkland. The turkey sandwich with salad combo is my favorite. Also love their fries! Can't go wrong with their coffee or matcha either. And the baked goods - OFF THE CHARTS! As a huge cookie lover, I love their cookies but their cake is also a huge hit. Expect a LONG wait - usually 60+ minutes. Parking is also super limited and they only have a single toilet restroom so the wait for the toilet can be awhile too. I think they've out grown this spot, but it's worth the wait. They have indoor and outdoor seating year-round. Bring a blanket in case you're willing to sit outside!

    Ask the Community - DERU Market

    Are they ever going to reopen the dining room? This seems to be permanently changed to take out only which is very disappointing. I've just stopped going bc I'm tired of going in hopes they are open only to find out it's take out only.

    They open for dining now and you can join the waitlist on their website. It always says 5-10 mins wait on the waitlist but I usually give 20-30 estimate wait time during peak hours. It works out well.

    Are they still take out only?

    Nope! Eating here right now!

    Do they serve breakfast all day?

    Breakfast is served until 2pm on weekends, and 11am on weekdays

    Was wondering if anyone knows what the brunch menu is like?

    If you're talking about breakfast, they have a chalkboard with the daily menu. As for lunch, they have a printed menu that reflects what is on their website with some additional daily specials on their chalkboard.

    Is this place allergen friendly? Want to go for breakfast but have gluten and milk allergies?

    Yes they are, I have the same allergies and it definitely dwindles your options down, but they're always very accommodating. If cross contamination is an issue I would ask them about how much of the equipment is shared.

I had the kitchen breakfast that comes with scrambled eggs, smoked bacon or sausage, and fingerling potatoes. The eggs were scrambled perfectly, and the flavor of the potatoes were delicious. One of my favorites is the Woodmark breakfast wrap, which is vegan. It comes with salsa, eggs, avocado, caramelized onions, peppers, potatoes and cheese. I think it was wrapped in a tortilla. There was a slight kick. If you're hungry, add a protein for $3, I did and did not regret it. It was yummy! Service/Ambiance: It is an order, sit down and the food will be brought out to you type of restaurant. The food was prepared in a timely manner and the servers are helpful. They are highchairs for the young ones and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. Overall, I will return and look forward to dining here again if I ever visit back. The food is good quality, and freshness is enjoyed in every bite.

I have no clue what Buddha's belly seasoning is, but I can tell you it is tasty. Fried green tomatoes is a perfect southern dish (and I will always think about the movie). Wings, Jerk seasoning, $18 - 5 Stars Like many, we're suckers for wings. Even better if the seasoning is different. Jerk wings is rightfully popular, here. The sauce is generously applied, and every bit is delicious. The flavorful foods will have me returning for sure!
