Fresh and flavor packed, Kitanda makes the best Açai bowls I've had in Seattle. The Açai base is so smooth and tastes just like Açai berry. The fruit is so fresh and cut into the perfect bite size pieces. I also loved the addition of condensed milk on top. I wish there were add on topping though. The wait for this bowl was around 15 minutes but the cafe worker let me know it would take this long so it was ok. I also think this is a great cafe to sit and do work because the lighting is nice. I'm so excited to go back and try their Brazilian cheese bread. The Açai bowls were also pretty big portions and the container was sturdy to travel with. They also forgave my friend that accidentally took the wrong order and very hospitable. read more

Good açaí and Brazilian treats! I got the Lili acai which had honey, frozen mango, frozen blueberries, and granola. The portion was a little small, but the acai and frozen fruits tasted great. I also got the pao de quejo which was delicious!! Tasted very similar to the bread I've had in Brazil, would highly recommend! I also got some brigaderos and these were okay - not the best I've had but they're difficult to find in Seattle. read more

I used to come a lot during college, but have since stopped, and decided to give it another shot. Got the energy blast açaí bowl and it was pretty good. I definitely think it's best when frozen, but mine was quite melted even though I just got given my order. I enjoyed the granola the most since the fruit didn't seem the best. I'd say this original size is quite a lot and is good for sharing. Having good memories of this spot and thinking it was the best açaí, I've now concluded that it's good but there's probably better else where. read more

As someone with celiac I love these sandwiches!! So tasty and surprisingly filling. The service is always good, it can be pretty crowded from 10am-11am. There is lots of seating and is a chill shot to stop into. The food can take a while to be ready but there is ushally only one or two people working. Imo tho the coffee SUCKSSSS, like so ass I would not buy the coffee here. read more

I got a coffee and an Acai bowl. The Acai bowl was yummy, with fresh fruit and granola on the one I got. The coffee was strong and had a good flavor. This place is on the first floor of what I think is an apartment complex so it's a little tucked away and parking in the area may be hard to find. I walked here while getting my car serviced nearby. If there's a line I think servie would be slow, as there was only one person working. So if you're in a hurry I wouldn't say this is going to be fast. read more

Pretty disappointed in their Brazilian cheese bread. It was crumbly and hard and not airy and chewy like you want. I love Brazilian cheese bread so very sad about this one. Staff was really friendly though. read more

I've been to these guys plenty of times before. Their Kitand bread sandwiches are delicious. Whether you want something sweet or savory, they have a good variety. I went for the Lean Pastrami Kitanda. What I first like about the sandwich is that it is nice and small and not overall stuffed with ingredients. You are able to taste the pastrami, the spinach and the mozzarella on every bite. As for the texture of the bread itself is slightly crunchy at first bite, but once you keep chewing away the texture becomes more soft and chewing. It does not have a big amount of salty taste, but none the less, it is an overall yummy and delicious experience. Oh the young staff (most likely UWS students) are always super friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

Price went up and acai bowl size went down. I used to go three times a week for a long time, now I refuse to go and spend money on it. Not worth paying for what you are getting. It's sad because it used to be good read more

This is a smaller location in the WSECU building. My usual's are the chicken croquettes, the bread, and jasmine tea. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't comment about that, but the jasmine tea is so strong and delicious. If you like sweet stuff then you will like their smoothies. I had one and it was way too much sugar for me. I will say the same for their acai bowls. If they would lay off the sugar on those things then I would eat them. This is a quiet place that never gets too crowded or loud the way a Starbucks would. There are tables available for sitting and there are always lots of students there hanging out and studying. There are also Brazilian products available for sale. What I love is that you can also buy the bread and chicken cones frozen and take them home. The location is only convenient if you are on foot. Whenever doing business nearby, I stop in and grab a treat. read more

Friendly service and good food. The place is nice even though it is in a building, but what would you expect at University Av. Quebra um galho as the Brazilians say. read more

I was actually waiting at the nearby Toyota while servicing my car before I found this place. It was the best option nearby and I wasn't expecting much but I feel like I found a little treasure! This was my first time having all the things I have ordered but her are my first time ratings! Nutella katinda bread sandwich: (5 star!) All I have to say is I wish I ordered more types of katinda bread sandwiches! Fresca acia bowl: (3.5) I rally wish I had received more toppings. It was topped w it j condensed milk and fresh coconut but there just wasn't enough!! Brazilian latte: (4 star) I'm not much of a coffee person so my rating shouldn't mean too much. But the coffee was good, don't remember it that much but I know I had no complaints. read more

I'm pretty particular about my acai bowl because I have a favorite spot in Kirkland and I always compare other places to that place. Hearing about kitanda many times and actually trying their yummy cheesy bread before, I decided to try their acai bowl. I just got the traditional bowl which comes with bananas and granola. They are all pretty standard tasting, nothing mind blowing. I like that you can leave them in freezer for a few hours and it taste delicious. I think it's on the pricier end for an acai bowl but it is still good. Overall, glad I tried it but not something I would rave about. read more

Love the healthier breakfast bowls and coffee drinks. The coffee is unbelievable smooth and delicious. The service style isn't overly friendly or overly efficient but it is still good. I usually order from the Joe app and pick up 10-15 mins late. They still wait to make it when I get there, so if your in a rush this is not your spot. I enjoy all of the Brazilian foods and drinks, I always start planning a vacation while waiting. read more

To be honest, So Cal has the best Acai bowls so this is nothing in comparison. Overall it was lackluster. The acai mix itself was awesome--almost too much sugar though like it was premade? Even if they do fresh blend, that's what it tasted like. Bananas were fresh. Granola tasted like stale Nature Valley bar. They have other toppings, but they up the price on an already expensive Acai bowl for what little you get. I'll be continuing my search for a decent Acai bowl in the greater Seattle area! read more

I love acai bowls and Kitanda has been one of my favorite places to go even waaaaaaay back in the day when acai bowl places were far and few. I usually just get the Traditional bowl, but I switched it up and got the Louco bowl (nuts and peanut butter galore). I think the best bowls are more "fruity" that "nutty", but just my preference! They use Sambazon Acai puree packs which is my favorite to use at home (can be found in shop as well). A must try is the "cheesy bread" which come in small and regular sizes. You can also buy some frozen bread to make at home (delicious fresh out of the oven). read more

Very affordable Açai bowls with good proportions of ingredients. I chose the Energy Blast bowl. The peanut butter really helps offset some of the tartness of the acai and makes it more satisfying. I also really like that they leave some room at the top so that you don't spill everything while trying to mix the bowl. Other acai bowls could learn from this place. I love that they sell cheese bread! I've actually been dreaming about cheese bread ever since I went to a Brazilian steakhouse with my family, started eating the bread, and was berated by my parents for "not getting my money's worth". So tasty. I think the mini ones might be better because of the higher surface area : volume ratio, but the bigger one I got was still good. read more

On a nice sunny day, I had to go out & grab myself an açaí bowl. This time, I went to go try Kitanda Espresso & Açaí near University of Washington. I got the Tudo which consists of the açaí base w/ peanut butter, banana, strawberries, coconut, cacao nibs, dried mango, hemp seeds, Brazil nuts, sweetened condensed milk, & honey. I really enjoy peanut butter in my açaí bowls. There's a whole lot of other things added into the bowl that it all goes well together. Each bite was really good & this is probably one of the best açaí bowl I've ever had. Any Kitanda Espresso & Açaí location that I have been to, never disappoints. read more

Went to this Kitanda location to study while waiting for my car to be serviced nearby. It's adjacent and shares the same space as a BECU, so their wifi is BECUs. I ordered a latte and the cheese breads and they were both delicious. The service was also fast. I did overhear the worker saying her co-worker was a no show/cancelled so she was super busy. She seemed stressed and complained that no one tipped her that morning. That's when I realize they don't allow tips on the screen and only cash tips. Hopefully they change that soon because hardly anyone carries cash or small bills these days. I did come here to study, so I was a little disappointed by the lack of outlets. I only saw one in the corner next to the window and "bar" type seating. Wish they had more. Bathrooms were clean and code locked. Overall a good experience, just wish they had more outlets! read more

The acai bowls aren't cheap, but I was in the mood for one. This would definitely make a tasty breakfast, and they are open early. Most of the topping combos have a lot of stuff so it's hard to choose, but it's probably hard to go wrong. It took a bit to get my acai after ordering though. Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to try any of the pao de queijo but I hear it's good. read more

It was good and quick. Would recommend getting the large vs small as the small is good for a quick snack.

Ordered the Brazilian Latte, which had a nice sweet note from the condensed milk without being cloying. Also ordered the bacon egg and cheese Kitanda bread, which had a delicious unconventional texture and taste. Note that these sandwiches are on the small side, smaller than a standard bagel. But with the add ins, it's still filling. A great place to try some unconventional flavors of coffee and sandwiches! read more

I love going to Kitanda for coffee and cheese bread when I'm feeling homesick. I love trying their seasonal lattes.

I came to Kitanda because they're open early in the morning, and they have Acai bowls! It was hard to figure out how to get in, as they share an entrance with the WSECU and we just stared through the window looking at the waitress, like many others. I came pretty early in the morning at 8am, and there were very few people until around 9am, when more people started filtering in. Right off the bat, the seating area, albeit a bit small, is pleasant to sit in. Next to their menu items, they have options to buy their Acai or other products in bulk, which was interesting to see. Festa (6/10). The Acai bowl that I picked was a bit difficult to eat in the beginning, as everything's jammed very tightly into a tight container that made it very difficult to mix. In the end of the bowl, I ended up with mostly Acai and very little topping, since it was simply so thick that I couldn't mix it. As expected from the ending, the beginning was less optimally mixed as well, and I ended up eating basically a spoonful of toppings. There isn't much that's new with this bowl either, I just wish it was a bit easier to eat as it is conveniently located and the portions are a good size. Acai Smoothie (8/10). I would say that this is exactly what I was looking for in a smoothie -- easily drinkable without brain freeze. It's definitely a lot smoother than the bowl, and easy to drink. At that point, it was basically a Jamba Juice. Again, nothing really innovative or striking, just an overall solid drink. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese (8/10). When we received this item, I was a bit miffed by how ordinary it looked, and was glad I got the bowl. But, upon biting into the gluten-free tapioca bread, that's what hit me -- the bread is a mochi consistency due to the tapioca starch, which seems to be their selling factor. Perhaps the inside of the sandwich wasn't impressive and the appearance not much either, but the CHEESE pull was simply so satisfying that even my lactose intolerance couldn't resist. Definitely would get this item again. EDIT: I came here again, and got two other items that interested me. Romeo and Juliet (6/10). I gotta say the guava jam is kind of odd that it's in slices, so it feels like eating fruit leather in warm bread. The sweetness didn't really match the profile of the cheese / bread savory, and overpowered the cheese so just felt like eating jam bread. Nutella Bread (6/10). I didn't think that there was much to say about this nor did I expect much, but the Nutella wasn't satisfying to bite into. I thought would have been piped into the bread, but it was more of a smear with one bite making the other side spill out. It did satisfy the chocolate craving, but there's definitely room for improvement. Brazilian Cream Cheese (8/10). What can you do better in a bread, besides oozing cheese? The fact that the bacon-egg-cheese bread already had oozing cheese had me convinced that their pure cheese bread would be great, and I was right. Definitely a bread I'd come back to. In general, I feel like the tapioca bread's flavor profile matches a lot better with savory food than sweets. Overall, because their prices are fairly cheap for a breakfast sandwich, I come here often just out of convenience, and mainly for the bread read more

I've been here twice for breakfast, specifically for the acai bowl. Bowls and coffe drinks are tasty but prices are crazy high.

These açaí bowls and Pão de queijo will be the death of my credit score (jk mom). I've ordered these more times than I could count, once in person and the rest via UberEats. I love that they're one of the few shops open early during the weekday. Their Brazilian Pão de queijo rolls are the best ones I've had. If you've never had them, it's like bread and mochi textured biscuit that's cheesy tasting?? That sounds horrible but it's so good. I've only ordered the Energy Blast but it has everything I need that I've never explored other bowls. Their Brazilian coffee is great as well but if you're not a fan of "bitter" coffee, don't add more espresso shots than what's already there. Lastly, I recommend adding extra ice if you're getting this for working because the coffee is more dense and the ice melts extra fast and the drink doesn't taste very good afterwards. read more

Walked past the brand new wsecu building a million times and finally found an afternoon to come by and try kitanda. Kitanda, I believe is a Brazilian inspired coffee shop selling favorites like acai. There are few other kitanda locations but this was the first one I've been to. The kitanda in the wsecu building is low key, quaint and fits well in the new buildings aesthetic. We had the traditional acai bowl which was delicious. I have had acai many times and would say this is pretty yummy. We also had the original bread bites, a cream puff looking ball but with cheese. It was really good. We topped it off with a Brazilian latte, which is condensed milk in a latte. Very interesting to see thst combination as it is not very common among western countries. Would definitely come back for another acai run read more

I've never actually dined in or visited this location in person, but I've ordered delivery from them several times -- They are one of my go-to's when I need something delicious and healthy to eat, especially after a great workout! My favorite is their Energy Blast Acai Bowl, which is made of 10 oz. of organic Açaí, topped with a heaping serving of delicious peanut butter, banana slices, strawberries, Brazil nuts, honey and vegan-friendly granola that is both gluten-free and nut-free! Super filling, and it's usually packed really well with amazing taste!
