I recently stumbled upon LizzyKate, a cute tea house nestled in downtown Kirkland - and I'm glad I did! It's a bright, welcoming shop with cans of aromatic tea displayed on their back wall. I ordered a hot Chai, consisting of masala chai tea, honey and vanilla almond milk. It wasn't too sweet, which was perfect for my taste! My mom ordered a hot Cinful, which had cinnamon spice tea (using 3 different types of cinnamon), vanilla and 2 percent milk. It was quite sweet, but nonetheless, delicious! With over 100 varieties of tea to choose from, I'll definitely come back to try their other options! LizzyKate has something for everyone - whether you prefer a fruitier, floral tea or a strong herbal tea. You can choose to have your tea iced or hot, or made into a tea latte with different milk alternatives! And for those of you that aren't tea drinkers, not to worry - they have house-made kombucha, as well! read more

For anyone who loves tea - then you MUST visit LizzyKate! They have every kind of flavor you'd ever want, as staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help you find a concoction you'll love. All of the flavors are listed on the canisters, which are all placed on the back wall and staff is happy to get any of the canisters down so you can first smell the tea leaves before committing to one. All of the drinks can be made hot or iced and they do have an option for tea lattes, with regular milk or milk alternatives. They also have tea tastings and special events, like tea pairings with cheese or Girl Scout cookies! The website has a calendar of all the events listed. (I gotta start going to these!) I should also mention that the best part of LizzyKate is that it's dog-friendly! It's one of the few places in Kirkland that allow you to bring your dog inside, which is always a huge plus for dog parents. There are a few tables inside, but space is small - so can get full if busy. However, it's great to have LizzyKate as an option for whenever I wanna just hang out and read a book with a cuppa tea that's incredibly flavorful. Sounds like a good day to me! read more

We recently lost our dog and have been trying to get out of the house more. We found Lizzy Kate during the snow storm in late December 2021 after we ventured out trying to distract ourselves. Not much was open, but they were! Since then, we've gone at least five times. I've always been intrigued by loose leaf tea, but not going to lie, a bit too lazy to use it. At Lizzy Kate they have just about every type and flavor under the sun. On the back wall where you can get loose leaf, they also have small vials to smell all the offerings. The main reason I like to go is the offerings they have for their tea bar. It's essentially like a coffee shop, but all tea! They have lots of different offerings and various lattes. As we are creatures of habit, we order the same thing every time. One of these days I'll try for something else, but hey, it's hard to go wrong with something you know you'll like! I get the 16oz London Fog with oat milk (also has vanilla added), and my husband gets a 16oz Dublin Draught which is Irish breakfast with oatmilk and caramel. We've both tried each other's and love each one, I just prefer mine since it's a tad less sweet (you could always ask for less sweetener though). They have several different options for vegan milk as well- including soy, almond and oat (oatly! The best). Ive always found the staff to be really nice and friendly as well, and if you ask, they'll share their favorites and suggestions. They recommended I try matcha (I've been wanting to) as a matcha latte so that's on my list for next time. With having a hard few weeks, Lizzy Kate has been just what we needed and super comforting. read more

Visited with my friend while walking in Kirkland - I got a Vanilla Butterscotch Latte and it was lovely! They have a whole wall of teas and one of those sliding library ladders to go around and pull down whatever tea you might want. Their Lattes appear to be all tea based (makes sense!) and it's a nice change to see so many non-coffee options at a cafe like this. Seems like an ok place to work with a laptop, I saw one person working there and it stayed pretty quiet throughout our visit. The staff was helpful and friendly and I gotta say, it's very cute and colorful in this shop! read more

This is a fantastic little tea shop that has great vibes for studying. We stayed for a while here to chat then go down to the water. Their drinks were great and you can even order the tea to make it yourself at home! read more

This is one of kind tea shop. From European to Asian, they sell teas that you might like. Also, watching their $40,000 (estimated) tea brewing machine is just a joy. This modernized machine can brew teas in way faster time and taste is just right (does not leave the bitter taste). They provide friendly service and explain about teas they carry. You can even ask how they started their business (from online to a physical store). Only thing I know people might complain is the price. To me, if we pay for a cup of coffee for $3 to $5, why having to pay for a tea for a similar price is a problem? Here are the information: Restroom: Don't have one Parking: They don't provide and Kirkland downtown street parking is like a lottery ticket. Best luck to you. Service: friendly and attentive Seating: None Other items beside of teas: Baking good such as cookies read more

If you want something close to a European style, a French bakery in this sense, this is the place to go on the eastside. All their products are simply delicious! read more

All I can say is WOW! We got their London fog and chai latte. If you want a place that really cares about their tea quality and flavor, come here! This isn't a place for you if you like really sweet drinks. The sweetness is settle and perfect enough to enhance the strong tea flavor. Give it a try, you won't regret it read more

I like the atmosphere a lot! Delicious and wide selection of tea, great service, and a very clean seating area and bathroom. 4 stars instead of 5 because I believe it's slightly overpriced, but definitely worth going to. read more

The best matcha tea latte. Both warm and cold. I have to get this whenever I am here. Their other teas are pretty good too. Love their small bite sized scones. Cute place, and dare I say, the pride of Kirkland ? read more

Wonderful tea spot with the most amazing brewing machine. I don't know how to explain it, but it percolates the tea I think? All I know is it turns out wonderful and I wish I had one at home. They also have some little snacks and tea themed gifts for purchase. Their tea selection varies a little, but they have an amazing array of white, black, green and herbal teas. On friday and saturday evenings they do a $5 tea flight. There is usually a theme and you can drink as much as you like of those 5 or so varieties. Only reason I marked down a star is it is kinda pricey, but the teas a high quality so you get what you pay for. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out for a tea fan. read more

Their Bkon (pronounced like 'beacon') tea machine looks cool, it better look cool considering its price tag, but the tea tastes about average. *dear yelp, we don't have time for long reviews, we just want to know if we'll get food poisoning or not. read more

Lizzie Kate is a brand new tea shop run by Will and Amy in downtown Kirkland. It has a very modern and minimalist design to it which really caught my eye. It is a bright, modern welcoming tea shop with a very large selection of teas. I liked the arrangement of the tiles on the floor and how they added to atmosphere of the shop. There are easily over 100 different types of tea including white, green, black, oolong and flavored teas. Each section of teas on the wall is color coated which adds a nice splash of color to the shop. I decided to get the Jasmine pearls and was surprised when will started to prepare my tea with a very interesting gadget. The machine Will used is a Bkon Reverse Atmospheric Infuser (RAIN) which creates a vacuum to speed up the extraction process so you will not have to wait too long for your tea. This simple yet powerful invention uses a vacuum to remove air trapped in the cellular structure of organic material like tea. The result is an infusion process different from the typical process you find at most tea houses. It extracts a significantly greater number of compounds from the tea which some say produces a more complex, full bodied and balanced cup of tea. I think my Jasmine Pearls tasted pretty good! It was $5.75 for a 16oz cup of rare tea so including tax it was $6.29. They have both hot and cold teas available. Besides ordering tea in the shop you can also purchase bags of tea to take home. They had bags, tins and even test tubes filled with tea. I thought the test tubes were a really cute idea. It reminded me of a store I was at in Tokyo. They also have decanters and thermos type cups with lids for taking your tea on the road. They had some cute teapot sugar cookies available for free which are shaped like the tea pot in their logo. They looked like they were professionally made. The service was excellent and Will was friendly and very eager to help. Amy was also very friendly and I really appreciated their knowledge about the teas they have in Lizzie Kate. I am excited to come back and try some different teas next time. Thank you for great service and being so friendly and helpful. read more

It is an amazingly clean, bright and calming tea and coffeeshop. The staff are polite, courteous, super helpful. As a matter of fact, I had no idea what to order and the barista helped a lot. I wanted a Latte and you can order it with whatever type of tea that you like. I chose Paris Blend and it had this lovely aroma of vanilla in it. She asked if 2% milk would be ok and I loved that I was given an option. The tea was nothing extraordinary, but overall, it was ok. Super super clean!!!! Loved it! They also have tea flights on Fridays apparently and they happened to have it on the Saturday I went there. Tea flights are $5. Probably could have done something to make the space look more cozy. read more

Trying for the first time, and the tea is DELICIOUS!! I tried the Cinnamon Spice (unsweetened & hot). I was very impressed by the perfect balance of sweet & spice - naturally sweetened so no added sugar necessary. Very impressed by the tea quality & quick brewing method, customer service, Wi-Fi, and the clean modern look of this place. I have only a few things missing that would have made this a five star rating for me... * No Cozy Chairs. This is often a a deal breaker when I'm thinking of where I'd like to enjoy a tea or coffee for a long book reading session or talk with a friend. Not one seat here is cushioned & there is too much competing places around to not have this element. I'd LOVE to see couches or at least cushioned chairs. * I'd love to see more food/snack pairings (I only noticed 2). Loved that they had a Gluten Free option, but again- too much competing cafés around who do offer this. (Vegan/Gf always a plus!) * Music could be a tad louder to drown out conversations...I heard every detail & couldn't focus on my book. Not your fault though. I think if these changes were made come fall, this place will really have some devoted tea addicts! read more

LizzyKate - Cinnamon Spice - So good!! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I came here for the second time last weekend after several years. I saw a sign for the rare green tea flight while on a walk with my baby and was intrigued. The variety of green teas was very interesting. I did not know that they could have so many flavors for green tea. The owners were wonderful and explaining the background of the teas and were very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed trying the different kinds and learning about that as well. I actually ended up stopping by today as well after trying the flight over the weekend to get one of the teas again. I am going to come here more often now, and wish I had come here sooner rather than later! There are other teas that intrigue me such as the butterscotch. Can't wait to explore all the teas! read more

A large selection of teas that they welcome you to smell on request, in addition to vials of tea leaves readily available in front of prepackaged tea for sale. They also have a unique menu of tea latte combos that go way past the typical london fog or chai tea latte. My favorite latte prepared hot is the Chestnut peppermint, and the cinful latte is absolutely killer iced. And I must mention the Dublin latte and the matcha latte, which I like both hot or iced. Those are always available, but when they have speciality lattes I usually try them out to and it's always great! What makes LizzyKate really stand out are their events and partnerships. They host tea flights where you get to try a variety of their teas, tea workshops, fun events such as teas & tattoos, and my favorite is when they have guest bakeries prepare sweets. They regularly have wagashi (I think every other Friday? Or maybe one Friday a month?) that look like those found in Tokyo! Overall LizzyKate is an awesome tea shop, but what makes them a Kirkland staple and worth returning to again and again is that you never know what you'll find! Recommend signing up for their email if you're local to the area so that you catch all their fun events and specials. read more

Me and my partner love coming to LizzyKate. The prices are reasonable and the staff are very friendly. We enjoy sitting at a table with a nice green tea and just staring out the window. Very peaceful. Much healthier than Starbucks too! read more

Lizzy Kate is my go-to tea shop. Their website is easy to use when I want to order online. They are great people and for us tea drinkers we need a place that has great selection and we might even learn a thing or two along the way. Big fan! read more

Thank you so much LizzyKate Tea for not only being my favorite Kirkland hangout, but for caring about your customers and staff. Thank you for keeping us all safe by requiring a vaccine to sit inside and drink your fabulous tea. My favorite right now is a Chocolate Lavender latte - I love it both hot and cold - yum! read more

Since Smacha closed, this is the only boutique tea place in the area. The employees care about the tea and have a great knowledge base. I was surprised how serious they were about tea, since the interior decor is so playful. I plan to settle into one of their tea drinking clubs and make this my new usual place. read more

Great tea cafe owned by a very knowledgeable and friendly local family. They have a large selection and wide variety of loose leaf teas, tea accessories, and snacks. They also have the coolest tea brewing machine ever - you have to see it to belive it. They have two iced teas available for tasting at all times in addition to special flight tastings most weekends. Great people, great tea, great service - what's not to love? read more

I don't usually go out for tea and frequently stay at Zoka's before work since I love coffee. But after seeing Lizzy Kate's large selection of teas and tea lattes, I had to give this place a try. Absolutely loved the coconut cream latte, the staff went further into customizing the sweetness level to my liking. The staff overall were incredibly friendly and patient in explaining the menu and different selections they had. Very quiet space and not too crowded, perfect spot for getting your work done read more

LizzyKate is such an amazing teahouse. They have a wall filled with loose leaf teas that you can buy and take home, and they have wonderful samples and conversation. They go above and beyond for incredible service-the staff are very knowledgeable and can be relied on for recommendations. Thank you for some wonderful memories. I cannot wait to return. read more

Colorful, cozy, quaint... what more can you ask for from a tea house? The owners are knowledgable and passionate about their teas. They have a fast brewing system that doesn't compromise the flavor of the tea, and they have an excellent selection! Today I enjoyed an iced Dragonwell but I've also had other herbal and black tea pots that were lovely. This place is good for working or sitting down to chat with a friend. It is also great if you are in a hurry, since their fancy modern tea brewing systems work like magic! Thank you for creating such a welcoming space for tea lovers. read more

Absolutely a 5 star place!!! My daughter and I have been going to Lizzy Kate's since it opened. We have explored a lot of different tea places in the Seattle area and where ever we happen to be at the time. I can say that the personal service and selection of teas is the best we have found in the area. The owners are super nice, as are all of the employees there. You are always greeted with a smile and a bit of warm wisdom for the day. My daughter has tried every tea and really enjoys knowing that they will think of her when they get in something in that she may like. read more

Enjoyed a lovely ceremonial matcha whisked by the owner, Will, who was a former tech entrepreneur who opened up the tea shop after selling his company. Great space, large selection of teas (including two from Tealet), and friendly staff. read more

I love this place! They serve great tea. Really nice quality and interesting combinations. Everyone there is so welcoming and friendly. They also have really cool tea brewing machines that are fun to watch and brew tea really quickly! I particularly enjoy the tea flights in the weekends. For just $5 you can try 5 different teas and compare them side-by-side. It's a great way to get to know different types of teas and try new things. I wish they started a little earlier because sometimes the afternoon caffeine keeps me awake later. But they are really fun! At first I didn't actually realise they sell food - it is further along the counter. They have some very tasty local baking! I would suggest putting the food closer to the register as I bet some people don't notice it (myself included). Overall, highly recommended for a nice cup of tea and a lovely atmosphere :) read more

Awesome tea selections and friendly service! I had a coconut white tea latte and it tasted like melted ice cream (yum!). They have a variety of teas and there's something for everyone. read more

I tried their brandy kombucha and it was delicious! It's sweet because there's honey in it. My friend said it tastes like mead, I've never had mead before but if you have that's what it tastes like. The cafe is clean, a lot of bright light, but it's a pretty small space. read more

This is the best tea shop in town! They have a huge selection of loose leaf teas. We stock up for our house on a monthly basis. The leak-proof, infuser / ice tea pitchers we purchased there are the best we have ever owned. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. The decor is modern & comfortable. read more

Best tea in Seattle/possibly the world. Love yourself and get the butterscotch tea iced!! It's gorgeous.

I usually go out for coffee, but tried this place last summer and keep coming back. Here's why: 1. Their teas are delicious, whether you want something hot to warm you up or something cold to cool you off. 2. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. 3. The staff are so knowledgeable, they will help you find a tea you love. 4. The machines they use to brew your tea are really cool! Give them a try. You'll love it! read more

I finally ran out if all my favorite Teavana loose tea and headed to LizzyKate to see if they could help me restock. And they did. They have a wide variety of black, green, and herbal teas to buy from in 2, 4 and 8 ounce packages. I even purchased an iced fruity tea that was good too. Will be going back. read more

I really enjoyed meeting the friendly owners. They are both full of great Information about the teas they offer and other tea related products! They cold brew 3 different teas each day and have a ton of other options for on demand. I may have gone a little crazy in here, but it's worth it. They have free wifi and their cafe is a quiet space for working remote. read more

LizzyKate - Front counter & menu. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Kombucha on tap is amazing! I love the ginger flavor! I'm not a tea drinker but it seems they have every type of tea that exists.

Wow.. searched downtown Kirkland for a place to work and have a coffee/tea. The shops I visited were either too darkly lit or noisy or crowded for my taste. LizzyKate is perfect. And their matcha latte is delicious and not overly sweet! So glad I stumbled upon this tea shop. They seem to have a good selection and know what they're selling. read more

I love LizzyKate! Massive selection of tea to take home or enjoy on the spot. Hot or cold they always have something to hit the spot. Super friendly and patient, letting you sniff the different teas, on my last visit I might have checked out 10 different teas. Left with a stocking stuffer gift stash and a few things for myself. Their early gray is amazing -- and makes for an even more amazing London Fog. The Sleepy in Seattle herbal blend has become an evening ritual at home. Mint, lemongrass, rose petals, and strawberry leaves, soothing and refreshing. I can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommended. read more

Really nice tea shop in the heart of downtown Kirkland! Their varieties are really yummy and everyone will be able to find something they like. The orange almond sencha is my fave. Watching their fancy brewing machine is so fun too! It would be nice if there were dedicated parking, but parking trouble seems to be a necessary evil for Kirkland. read more
