You would think this is Homegrown part 2, similar vibes, no change in decor really (Kirkland Location) but it looks like it was started by Lisa Nordstrom. Was always a fan of Homegrown, but glad that Sona has replaced them in this location because the meals are more "meals" instead of more for just breakfast or lunch bites. The beef steak hits, the rice, sauce, sweet potato, arugula. I could eat this 4 days a week. Chicken was good too, Salmon not bad. All seemingly thoughtfully cooked. Haven't tried the smoothies yet, can't wait. All the employees were very friendly and prompt. The line to order went quick, but the wait for food did not. I never mind waiting for good tasting food so its not an issue for me. Wish they would open past 4pm!!!!!!!

You have to come and get the steak burrito (with crispy potato!) and fluffy egg omelette. Looking…read morefor something filling and more refreshing? Can't miss with their Acai bowls! Side notes: the chicken sausage sandwich kind of tastes like pizza. Fun! Not into smoothies generally myself (esp at $14-16 a pop), but I've tried a couple and they have an interesting assortment chock full of good ingredients.

Like you can just see and taste how important this establishment is to the owner. You can tell they care about their customers and their business! I really appreciate a good meal! I love the design of the cafe, the dishes they serve their food on, the strong flavor of everything we had. What ever it says in the title on the menu is what you actually taste. Thank you for a wonderful experience! My palette appreciates you! You get to experience the aroma of your food with every bite. It's pretty amazing. I want to try more items on the menu. I was reading the complaints about a server but I might know what is being explained. There was a server that may seem like she doesn't care but that's not the case at all I think it might be a language barrier that's all. The service was great!

I settled on the Mt Olympus toast with an extra slice of the PNW since I couldn't make up my mind. I also ordered the Belldens White Mocha, which was not overly sweet surprisingly. As I sat and ate, the place received plenty of customers who also chose to dine-in. Service was great, atmosphere was beautiful. You are expected to bus your own tables, common at small coffee shops. I street parked on the west side of the building, requiring a slight climb up the hill back to my car. It was free though, so no complaints! I would return to "work from home" or if I was in the area and looking for a cute bite. In total I paid $36, not including tip.

You can tell the ingredients are high quality, and it always feels like a healthy but still satisfying treat. I always get strawberry, almond butter, granola, and honey as my toppings, and it's literally the perfect combo every time. Their empanadas are also sooo good--perfectly warm, flavorful, and honestly underrated. It's such a good spot when you want something light but still filling, and everything I've had there just hits every time. Prices are reasonable for the portion and the employees are so kind.

The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the owners are so nice. If you are looking for a post workout refreshment or just a nice smoothie to enjoy, this is your spot.

We were in the area so I decided to grab some food for our kids…read more The place is pretty spacious and there was plenty of room for dine in. Service was ok. The people were nice but the knowledge of the cashier could be better. I asked what was in the avocado smoothie and he said "milk and avocado". So I asked what would make it sweet since that doesn't sound like it would be sweet at all, and he said that it's just those two ingredients. I ordered it and then I went to the self service kiosk and saw that it came with condensed milk as well... I ended up asking the lady to switch it to honey instead which they did. The smoothie was ok, it was a little too liquidy for it to be a smoothie in my opinion but my kids love it so it's all good. I also got some mini chicken cones and that was standard. Price was a little high imo. The size of the smoothie was small for $9. Overall, it was ok, nothing special.

Got a PB Health Nut (peanut butter, banana, dates, cashewmilk) and customized it with added blueberries and strawberries. Smoothie was freshly made and tasty. Ordering on the app makes it easy to customize the smoothie. The staff were friendly and were able to serve my smoothie in my reusable glass tumbler. Thanks for supporting sustainability and reusable cups! Store is clean and has a few tables and chairs where you can enjoy your smoothie. There's also free wifi and lots of windows, for some sun and natural lighting.

The Toxin Flush is much better than most green drinks (it actually tastes good lol) and we loved the Go Bananas. I'd highly recommend adding coconut whipped cream to them.

I got the Blue Majik to share with my boyfriend and our friend got the Hagrid's Dragon. The quality was phenomenal and they don't skimp out on the smoothie portion in comparison to the toppings. Overall it was evenly distributed and made for delicious bowl! This is one of the greater smoothie bowls I've had and it was made quickly. The worker was quick and efficient in making it. Although, the inside is quite small it is quite good for a to-go if you're around the area taking a walk.

Super generous portion!…read more The bowl overall was okay! The açaí didn't really have any flavor to it, and the foods were all a bit sour. It was a good healthy breakfast option, but I've had better açaí bowls. + If you are allergic to any fruits, they don't do replacements, nor will they be willing to exclude the fruit you're allergic to from your bowl. The staff helping us recommended we just choose another bowl without that specific fruit. It was kinda hard because most of the bowls had the same fruits in them so that limited our choice to one-- the bowl we ended up getting.

We came here last evening to check out this location after stopping in at the downtown Kirkland one…read moreearlier in the evening. This location is in a great place right inside of the LA Fitness Signature Club in the Totem Lake area of Kirkland. They definitely have a captive audience as the inside of the health club is HUGE so there's a lot of potential customers who need a healthy reward after their workouts. At our visit, the club workout machines seemed well occupied and several members stopped by to order after their workouts. We had just finished dinner so my wife and I shared a 32 oz PB&J which was recommended by the super fun and energetic staff and it did not disappoint. We were helped by the trio of Maria, Michelle and Camilla. Each had a ready smile and were very helpful and friendly. We also met the woman who owns this and the downtown Kirkland location. She was super nice as well. Camilla expertly made our smoothie and I am now addicted. I need to return and have another one of these delicious and nutritious beverages! Keep it up Emerald City Smoothie!!
