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. Unfortunate. Doner Sandwich with lavash bread, beef and lamb, $15 - 3 Stars Doner Plate, beef and lamb, $19 - 3 Stars

Excellent customer service! Cleanliness: the store is very clean including all wall and room decor, trash, tables, and chairs. The food prep area is visible from the counter and was neat clean and organized including the floors. There was stuff out, as expected for a working business, but clean none the less! Set up: this pastry shop is veryyyyyyy cozy atmosphere! I can see myself sitting here enjoying coffee with friends, or studying here! Love the lighting, the stained glass windows.. ADORABLE!!! Order: Black Sesame Kouign Ammans. The black sesame was mixed into the dough. I have previously only had them where the filling is black sesame. I love this pastry because of the buttery salty caramelization of the pastry dough as it cooks in the solid metal pan with the proper heat. Having it mixed into the dough was a solid 4/5 stars. My personal preference would be to have it as a filling so you can taste more of the caramelization on the dough and not coupled with the black sesame. I was definitely missing that aspect. It was still an ABOVE average pastry! Pastry filled with Ube cream. Yall I had to sit on face time while my boyfriend and his nephew enjoyed this pastry! I was so jealous, they weren't even talking. I'm asking questions while they were shoveling their pastries and moaning with sheer delight! WOULD I ORDER AGAIN: ABSOLUTELY!!!! Black Sean's enjoying Ammans are hard to come by!!! And now I feel like I need to try this Ube pastry that causes ungodly noises!

After waiting in line we were up next, the cashier said they were no longer serving breakfast, it was 11:02 by the time it was our turn to order. Leaving this review since it was a poor customer experience to not have been told when we called about the breakfast hours and not been served when we were in line before they stopped breakfast. That being said the establishment is nice and cozy, the staff were friendly, and they seemed to have a good selection on their menu.

It didn't enhance the flavor, so I scraped it off. He ordered the breakfast platter and said it was okay. The potatoes with mama lil's peppers were great. The eggs tasted like powdered eggs, tho. Our drinks and the banana bread we got were all good. I'd go back!

Located on the lower level of Redmond Town Center, Creperie de Paris is a minority owned creperie…read moreoffering savory crepes, sweet crepes, and even baklava (these actually look good). The interior is small, though they have additional seating outside. Many diners got to-go orders, which is surprising since crepes get soggy easily. Anyway, service was fine. The guy tried to be courteous but failed; I won't go into details. Prices are a touch higher than the nearby place; they include a salad to differentiate for the savory crepes. I wish creperies differentiate how they make the base crepe depending on savory vs. sweet. Savory ones benefit from more oil to enhance the seared flavor, while sweet ones don't. Their base crepe is good, not great. The Food: Merguez, $20 - 2.5 Stars This crepe has spicy Moroccan lamb sausage with onions, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and peppers. The overall size is modest. Hubby orders lamb often but was disappointed with these lamb sausages. He said they mostly taste like little smokies. Not a complimentary description. Norvegienne, $21 - 3.5 Stars This crepe has smoked salmon, spinach, capers, red onion, and crème fraiche. The salmon didn't taste as smoked as I would like. They are similar to the plain lox variety that might be on a bagel, which is not as flavorful. On the plus side, I thought this is a well-stuffed crepe. The included salad for both is a mixed greens with tomatoes, feta, parmesan, olives, tomatoes, and range dressing. I wish restaurants spill out their ingredients on menus. I don't like cold cheese; I could have saved them some money and tell them to skip it on mine.

Kitanda is a chain coffee store with currently 13 locations mostly in Washington. The ambiance is typical of the majority of all coffee shops with wood tones and muted colors, small wood tables, and seats that are slightly comfortable. It is a tried and true format. They carry a variety of coffee beverages but unlike most coffee shops have very few non-coffee beverages that aren't their açaí shakes, a small selection of bagged teas, or mass produced drinks in the cooler. As I don't drink coffee this is a considerable drawback. My friend who drinks coffee enjoys theirs quite a bit. The food is okay. If you love bread heavy food, Kitanda has you covered. I ordered the coxinha which is a deep-fried coquette filled with shredded chicken - at least that's what Google described it as which made me excited. It was savory, crispy on the outside, mushy on the inside with a thick bready shell that clung to the roof of my mouth. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything I'd get again. The awkward part came in the form of their young employees openly discussing a very natural biological challenge most women routinely experience, loudly. I could hear every word from where they were standing behind the counter to where I was sitting by the double doors. While part of me envied the comfort they demonstrated with each other the rest of me couldn't quite think that this was appropriate discussion to have in front of people eating. And I also didn't need to know the intimate details of strangers' biological functions. If I don't go back I'll be fine.
