Sitting there watching how the experience was different for people based in how they looked was so obvious it was comical, but also very sad. There was a cashier who seemed lovely that was taking people's orders but the moment I got to the front the older manager pushed them aside to take my order. Then switched back with the cashier after my order. I asked for my drink to be in a mug so I can enjoy it there and sat down at a table where I planned to enjoy my coffee. I saw them hand delivering drinks to everyone, but they called my drink to be picked up at the counter and noticed it was in a to go cup. Just to make a few things. The coffee was also awful, but that could have been served to me poorly by design based on what I look like. Not only have I rated this coffee as the worst in the Seattle area, but possibly the worst I've ever had in my life.

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!

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.

Their coffee is consistently excellent, smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. I usually stop by Redmond location and this was my first time visit at Kirkland location.

I…read morewanted to try this Kirkland spot about six weeks ago, but it was closed earlier for a staff event. Thankfully, we were able to stop in 45 minutes before closing time (4/21/26). A very welcoming barista crafted a pair of 16oz mochas with really nice coffee art. Note that cash payment is not accepted. Points can be accrued via Toast by signing up with your phone number. Nice clean cafe with plentiful natural light, healthy plants, and mirrors. There's merch and coffee roasts also available for purchase. I can't speak to pastries and other menu items since we were there towards the end of the business day. Majority of the folks seated along the counter were taking advantage of natural light while working on their respective laptops. Counter seating, as well as, table seating are available onsite. Pleasant, brief visit to their Kirkland indie cafe location. Appreciated the tasty mochas.

Café Hagen is my go-to in downtown Kirkland, and I've been enough times, big groups, quiet family…read moremornings, to know it holds up. The seating is the main draw for me: an open interior with booths inside, plus patio tables when the weather cooperates. There's room either way, so it works whether I'm with a crowd or just family wanting something low-key. It gets busy, which makes sense given how popular it is and where it sits downtown, but the wait is always shorter than I'd expect. Service is fast and friendly even on weekends. The food backs it up. It's a Copenhagen-inspired spot with coffee roasted in-house, and everything I've had has been solid, the almond croissant especially. Reliably good, and that's why I keep going back.

Anything not in the fridge is absolutely disgusting, completely ridden with flies. They were still selling these pasties that had soooo many flies all over them, It's disturbing. Definitely only get the refrigerated ones. The domos were ok but over priced. The coffee: vanilla latte was ok. Tasted very acidic/under extracted. The cold brew was also bleh. It's an interesting experience, I think we would be back for the pastries if they weren't so covered in flies, but seeing as they are, probably won't be back.

Everywhere, someone has a variation of ube something. The ube flavor here was very pronounced. Growing up in the Philippines, I know all too well the labor of love that goes into turning the unassuming purple root vegetable into a savory purple yam. This latte combines the best of both worlds: earthy notes from the matcha mesh well with the savory essence of ube. It was happiness in a cup.

I ordered a flat white. It was prepared to perfection with beautiful foam art to finish the serving. I was meeting a friend for coffee, so I was eager to re-join my company. The Coffee Shop was quiet so I asked the barrista if she wouldn't mind bringing me my coffee when it was ready. I was just sitting at the first table past the serving area. The young person looked at me like I was speaking in tongues. She politely said, "I don't know but we can call you when you're coffee is ready and it will be over there" pointing to the serving area. Okay whatever, a missed opportunity for sure. Regardless of my personal experience, The Art of Coffee was a nice, clean, airy place to enjoy coffee with friends.

Located near the Kirkland waterfront, they are a small-ish eatery with a few tables inside and two-ish outside on nice days. I really wish I like them more. I have tried them twice. We reacted both times with a shoulder-shrug kind of "it's ok", not great, not horrible, either. Their Turkish type of beef and lamb doner meat is the meatier variant. It looks like actual meat, less processed than some Mediterranean doner/gyro meats, but also oilier. We must have arrived during a slow period because our meat pieces were chewier and drier with a deeper brown on most pieces, which mean the meat have been rotating for a longer time, in between orders.
