    Smoked Salmon Bagel
    Carolina L.

    Such a cute place to do some work or just sit down and chat with a friend! Stopped by for a quick bite and shared the salmon bagel. It was quite good, exactly what you would expect it to taste like. Love the location!

    Came in for a coconut milk latte. Cute cafe in downtown Kirkland! What a gem, I'll definitely be back. Serving organic coffee, tea, juices and some light bites.

    Pistachio power

    This is a health-conscious place to dine at, with food and drink that caters to everyone from those with dietary restrictions to those without. I came with two of my friends around 6:20pm just before their closing time of 7pm and before grabbing an actual dinner around the area. Inside feels really clean and you can smell certain fruits when you walk in. There's more than enough seating for larger groups, and it was completely empty when we got there. Only one of my friends got a drink here, and waited about 10 minutes or so to get his pistachio powder drink after hearing they were out of cacao to make their cacao cloud, which was his first choice. I managed to get a couple sips of the drink myself, and I gotta say it tasted heavily of both avocado and banana, both of which were ingredients. It was also bitter to the point where I couldn't tell which of the two was overpowering the other, like there was a heavy banana aroma masked by what I could only describe as a metal-like aftertaste from the avocado, perhaps? In general, it wasn't my favorite drink despite it having a ton of healthy ingredients and being protein-heavy, which I would otherwise need for my muscles after a workout. Maybe I need to try their other drinks or even their food sometime, because the price tag and taste of the pistachio powder didn't do well for me.

    I got an iced banana matcha dream and a booster shot here. The matcha was nice! There wasn't as much of a banana flavor as I'd expected, but it was very refreshing and had a pressed juice flavor to it? Not sure how to explain it. Highly recommend, though, it was great! The booster shot was good as well and went down a lot easier than most health shots!

    Menu

    The menu at Sano Kirkland is all about healthy and fresh options, from salads to acai bowls, pressed juices, and smoothies. It is good to see that they are really focused on wellness. I was deciding between the Ginger Sesame and Harvest salads but went with the Ginger Sesame and added marinated tofu. It turned out to be a great choice. Tofu from Sano is not a typica tofu you have seen. It is the "marinated" tofu which I've never tried before but it is definitely a game changer. The marinated tofu paired perfectly with the dressing. I cannot quite describe the flavor, but it was unique and a bit addictive. The portion size was generous, and I felt completely full after finishing it. For someone with a smaller appetite, one salad could easily be two meals. I also tried the Golden Roots pressed juice with pineapple, carrot, golden beet, Fuji apple, lemon, and ginger. It was refreshing and naturally sweet from the fruits. I could taste the freshness in every sip. Parking is mostly street parking, and while there are plenty of spots, it can get a bit tricky during peak hours. I will definitely be back soon to try the Harvest Salad and one of their smoothies. This is such a great addition to the Kirkland downtown area.

    Cesar with tofu
    Alexa D.

    Loved this spot! I headed over after a workout class and was so impressed. I am gluten free and vegetarian and found I could eat just about everything on the menu, which was amazing. I ended up getting the cesar salad with tofu, and my friend got the harvest salad with tofu. The toppings and portion sizes were generous! We also both tried the "pearadise" juices which were great. The servers were awesome! For being so new, they seemed to know the menu really well and our food came out quickly. It looks similar to the previous restaurant that was there. Pretty simple, clean. We sat outside and enjoyed the people-watching, but on a rainy or cold day I would have opted to take my food to-go. Will definitely be back for more juices and to try one of the toasts!

    I came here and tried both a juice and an açaí bowl. The juice was very refreshing and tasted fresh, but since it was the last day before expiration I could not help but wonder if the nutritional benefits were still fully preserved. The açaí bowl was enjoyable but it felt a little underwhelming in terms of toppings. A bit more variety and quantity would have elevated it from being just good to being something I would crave and come back for often. The staff was great, very helpful and efficient, and they made the whole experience pleasant. The space itself is clean and nicely designed, with a welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciated that there is also an outdoor seating area, which makes it a really nice option when the weather is good. Also fruit were still frozen. Overall this place has a lot of potential. With a bit more generosity on the bowls and some assurance about the freshness of the juices, it could easily become a go-to spot for healthy options in Kirkland.

    Açaí bowls and harvest salad

    I was really sad about Homegrown but felt a bit better when Sano opened up in its place. Beautifully arranged açaí bowls, avocado toast, and salads!

    Dining room
    Daria S.

    Great little spot for a healthy, quick breakfast or lunch! The dining room is bright and clean and lively. People are friendly and helpful. My God harvest salad was delicious and felt so healthy! They also have kombucha pressed juices and coffee and espresso.

    We had the salad, with ginger sesame dressing. Greens were fresh, sliced almonds were crunchy. Dressing was perfect. It came on a tidy compostable container. We also had the avocado toast. Nicely toasted slice of bread topped with creamy avocado. I added the chicken, nicely cubed chicken breast that was moist and had good marinade. It was served on one piece of toast. I've had it in other places where I would get 2 pieces of toast that had arugula and cherry tomatoes. Food is served in compostable containers even if you dine in. We drank 2 bottled juices, quite refreshing, but $9 each small bottle is a bit pricey. Some diners ordered the açaí bowl and they look good and seemed like a big serving. There's an order counter, where it's simple enough to place an order. The food came out quick enough. The space has soaring ceilings. The tables are spaced comfortably. There's a large patio outside with a lot of tables. The interior is painted plain white that exudes a clean, healthy vibe which compliments the menu and its mission. This is definitely not a cheap place. I'm thinking that anything nutritious and good for you involves a steep price. That is why I don't think this is a restaurant I would go regularly to. It's good, but I want more for my money.

    This review is for their drink only. I ordered the Banana Matcha Cloud (iced only) and their matcha is surprisingly so good! The drink is not too sweet and topped with real banana mixture. An unexpected place for a great matcha drink.

    Harvest salad

    My husband and I happened to walk by this place and decided to stop in since the menu looked interesting. I ordered the Harvest Salad, and he got the salmon bagel. His dish looked great and he enjoyed it. As for my salad, it had an interesting concept--especially the combination of sweet potato and fruit, which was quite tasty. Unfortunately, a large portion of the greens were wilted, and I had to pick through them, which was disappointing. Overall, it was edible, but not something I'd order again. I think the quality could definitely be improved.

    Just had an amazing brunch at Sano in Kirkland Everything's organic and grass-fed, served in compostable green containers. The avocado toast, egg toast, and chia pudding were all delicious--and the Mexican vanilla bean latte + matcha latte ...Incredible. Fast, friendly service too. Highly recommend!

    I ordered the steak plate! It tasted as good as it smelled!!

    Smoothie Heaven here!…read more I was greeted warmly with an engaging smile by the sole employee there (Camilla) and felt very welcomed. There are so many yummy choices here on the large menu and even a special seasonal Pumpkin flavored smoothie offered. The menu breaks out the drinks by what you might be looking for in a smoothie (weight loss/gain, nutritional boost, etc.). I didn't know what to get so upon a recommendation of Camilla, I ordered the smoothie called the Emerald with extra protein powder. The Emerald is a fairly low-calorie smoothie for what you're getting and it tasted great! The strawberries added a nice sweetness to the otherwise non-sweet vegetables in it such as kale and spinach. The banana added some nutrients my body didn't know it needed. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit to Emerald City Smoothie and the value I received in my delicious smoothie drink. I highly recommend stopping here as they have many additional product offerings on the counter and about the store and even serve up Acai bowls! Thank you to Emerald City Smoothie and Camilla for making my visit wonderful and wanting to come again!

    Cute little restaurant right across from Juanita Beach!…read moreWe've been here a couple of times, usually after dropping off my little one at school. It's always quiet inside, which makes it a perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy breakfast. The servers are genuinely friendly and easy to talk to. We love their veggie sandwich -- it's loaded with roasted vegetables and hummus, and you can really taste the freshness. My husband tried the beet sandwich and enjoyed it as well. The only thing I'd say is that the bread can be a bit on the dry side. I'm also a big fan of their coffee! Overall, it's a lovely place to unwind and have a peaceful breakfast.

I ordered the Veggie and Hummus Sandwich. Based on my current body condition, I couldn't eat anything cold, so I confirmed with the counter that this dish was not cold before ordering. However, after I paid for the order, they told me the hummus was frozen, so I had to choose an alternative option, and I went with avocado instead. There were free water bottles on the tables for self-service; you just needed to ask for a cup at the counter. We had to bus our own table by putting the finished plates onto the trays. Parking was easy, as there was a parking lot in the back.

    My friend and I walked over to Emerald City Smoothie in Downtown Bellevue after doing barre class…read morenearby. This was my first time at Emerald City Smoothie in ten years and my first time at the Downtown Bellevue location. The interior is fairly small with only a few tables to sit/stand at and so it's mostly a takeout place rather than a place to meet with friends. Emerald City Smoothie has a wide menu and categorize their menu into five categories based on health goals: "Boost My Immune System", "Help Me Lose Weight", "Go Green", "Bulk Me Up" and "Nourish My Body". They also have a menu just for "Boosters" which cost extra and include everything from antioxidants to bees pollen to creatine and fat burner. Lastly, they have a Secret Menu which includes Banana Creme Pie, Matcha Green Tea, Maui Paradise, Mountain Berry Blast, Orange Creamsicle, Piña Colada, and Peanut Butter Cup. I'm pretty sure their secret menu is just drinks that don't fit into the other categories (or ran out of room for), because they had these same drinks on their menu ten years ago. I ordered the MATCHA GREEN TEA (16-oz) off the secret menu. This smoothie has soy milk, matcha, non-fat milk, and whey. For $7.44 (including tax), this was pretty pricey for a "healthified" matcha Frappucinno. They obviously don't use high quality matcha as the matcha color was on the yellow side and the taste was quite diluted and bland. It mostly just tasted like sugary blended milk with little to no matcha flavor; I was honestly disappointed, but drank it anyway. My friend got her favorite NUTTY BANANA (sub vegan protein) which has banana, peanut butter, protein, and nonfat milk, which is probably what I should've gotten instead. She also ordered a PB&J and MANGO MANIA for her family members which are also supposed to be decent. Lesson learned, stick with the fruit smoothies. Service was good- the baristas are friendly and efficient and we got our drinks within 10 minutes after ordering. Overall: 2/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere
