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!

Chicken

A "pet project" by the Nordstrom family, I certainly approve. Simple, healthy, tasty, fair cost food in nice locations = 5 Stars. 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!!!!!!!

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
Vinh M.

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
In Y.

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
Sarah H.

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.

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!

Bellden Cafe has it all, we've already gone several times I'm obsessed with the ube mochi waffle, it is soooo delicious (not too sweet, incredible texture and flavor). Their matcha is also lovely, I got matcha with rose syrup both times I went (so immaculate). I've turned into a bit of a matcha snob, so always looking for some good options and they hit the spot. The service is incredible, literally the people working there are the nicest people everrrr. Even on a super busy weekend morning, they were so accommodating, so friendly and even remembered us from just one visit! Really fantastic team, they really make the whole experience even MORE lovely. And the interior is jussssst so gorg!!!

When we walked in, most of the indoor tables were taken, but we got lucky and snagged one right as a couple was leaving. They have a pretty extensive drink menu of coffees, teas and smoothies alongside a food selection of açaí and yogurt bowls, breakfast sandwiches, waffles, toasts and salads. Prices do seem rather steep for food (particularly for the waffles), however, this business has a great philanthropic mindset that helps explain the price points. Whenever someone orders a specialty drink, they donate some of the proceeds to a charity. + LATTE w/ MISO MAPLE syrup ($5 for 12 oz. + $1 for syrup): The coffee itself was so good - robust, with a perfect balance between the espresso and milk. I was so excited to try this unique syrup flavor, but sadly, I didn't taste it at all. No umami from the miso and not even a hint of maple. I'm not sure if this syrup is just extremely subtle, or if it was simply forgotten. I really hope it's not the latter, since I paid extra for it. + MATCHA CHIA PUDDING ($13): The bowl may look small, but it was deep and the portion turned out to be filling. A Greek yogurt base was beautifully layered with matcha chia pudding, a strawberry-rhubarb compote, granola and rose. I loved the compote which had the perfect sweetness of ripe strawberries and a little tang from the rhubarb. The matcha pudding was on the milder side, but smooth in consistency, contrasting nicely with the crunchy granola. My friend ordered the Açaí Bowl and really enjoyed it. The serving looked reasonable for the price as well. Overall, the two of us had a wonderful time here catching up over a healthy brunch! Tip: They have two small rooms available to reserve for parties of 4-6 if you're looking to secure seating for a group.

Their acai is just perfect level of sweetness, but I've seen some variation in the texture from extremely thick to a bit runnier. They are super generous with the amount of peanut butter, which is super nutty and fragrant. Also hard to find a place that throws in Brazil nuts as well. I think at one point I came 3x in one week during the heat wave and getting this as a little pick me up is just undefeated. They also had some seasonal drinks the past few months and their dragonfruit smoothie is a bit on the sweeter side, but you can definitely taste the pitaya! Parking is easy and I've never seen too large of a line, but service isn't the fastest if you're in a rush. No bathroom from what I can tell, but plenty of seating to try your snacks immediately.
