I was visiting with friends for a morning coffee, and what can I say? I loveddd this place soooo much. I ordered a small Latte and it was beyond my expectations. The place has its own unique vibes. I was served by nice people. I'll definitely be back.

Its a great place with many outlets for you to plug and work away. Coffee here a great, we have come here several times now. This time we got sweet treat and free hot chocolate for kids (you get one free for each purchase you make) I do wish that the picture frames are move to a higher place. It was uncomfortable when you have a picture frame on your back.

Really enjoyed their Affogato, both food and drinks taste fantastic ! Offers free wi-fi for 3 hours and fantastic vibe for working on your laptop or hanging out. Will definitely be back.

Good vibes for working & studying out of. Fair amount of food & non-alcohol beverage options. Wifi was a little interesting to connect but it seems to be working just fine.

I love sitting in the little booths next to the windows, I think those are the best seats. I enjoy coming here, it’s a very nice location just a short walk from the Kirkland waterfront. I think the AC was down last time I was here, so it was really hot inside, but they have outdoor seating too which was great!

That’s espresso! Take it neat and enjoy what coffee snobs love. This place has been making excellent coffee for at least the last 15 years. And the tradition continues. It’s always important to have a straight espresso to see how the coffee is in a coffee shop. And this place crushes it. And the location is great. The service - exceptional. The atmosphere is the same as always - chill, fun, and quiet.

Such a cozy little coffee shop and an absolute dream spot for getting work done. The atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfect for settling in with your laptop and letting the creative ideas flow. Even better? The coffee is to die for. I tried their lavender latte (which I didn’t even realize they had!), and it was beyond delicious. They have so many unique flavors, and I already can’t wait to go back and try more. It can get pretty packed at times, which honestly just shows how loved this place is, but the staff is wonderful—so friendly, welcoming, and kind, which makes the experience even better. As a blogger, this felt like the perfect space to write, create, and really get into my creative zone. My thoughts flowed so naturally here. Easily one of my new favorite coffee shops in Kirkland. I’ll definitely be working from here much more often

I used to live in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland. Now that I live in Shoreline, I don't get over much. If I need a latte or a place to write, I don't think about driving around the lake. The other day, I got an invitation to come over and meet someone. When I turned up Central, I remembered how much fun downtown Kirkland is. So many interesting places to visit and nary a chain retail business in sight. One of the downsides of Kirkland is parking. I considered one of the bijillion paid spots, but I managed to find a 2 hour free spot not too far away from the coffee shop. I'm told that these spots have monitoring equipment to enforce the time limit. I was there for a little over the 2 hours with no ticket, so I don't know how true that is. Thruline was busy, but not full. We found a table where we put our things to claim it while we went to the counter to order. I was happy to pay $11 for a latte and a breve. Many of the customers are loyal regulars. My friend was greeted by name and several folks matched pictures on the wall. I asked how much coffee you had to drink to get a picture. Apparently, that information is a secret, as I was given vague non-responses. When our name was called, I went up to fetch our drinks. They came in real mugs. I think coffee tastes better in a mug than in a cup. I like to think it is better for the environment too. I admired the little heart in the foam and took a sip. Pretty tasty. I have a hard time hearing in a crowded coffee shop. The noise level was not terrible, but I did miss a bit of our conversation. People seem to like to hang out. During the couple of hours we were there, I did not notice the people around us changing. Several folks had their laptops out, so it might be a good place to get some writing done. If I ever move back to Kirkland, I'd enjoy being a regular here.
