"Loved the vibe at L Experience, Kirkland! The pastries and croissants are absolutely amazing — flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. The chocolate and white chocolate pastries are a must-try. Such a cozy, aesthetic place to relax and enjoy great bakes. Will definitely be coming back!"

"L’Experience is a great little bakery and pastry shop on the East Side, and they’re consistently solid. Patricia is amazing—always friendly, professional, and really on top of things. Their pastries aren’t your typical coffee-shop pastries. The croissants are super fluffy and chewy inside with a perfect crispy outside—whether it’s the plain, pain au chocolat, almond, or anything else they make. Their Benedicts are also delicious and come with a nice salad and potatoes. Overall, it’s just a really nice spot to come to. A reliable go-to for great pastries and good vibes! (Edited - seems like they have wifi and underground parking as well)"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment I walked in, Melissa made me feel so warm and welcome—it truly felt like I was meeting a new friend. Her kindness set the tone for a wonderful relaxing morning. I ordered the leek and goat cheese quiche, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly flaky, the filling rich and flavorful, and the fresh salad alongside was dressed just right. I couldn’t resist a small chocolate croissant, which was heavenly, and the mimosa turned the whole experience into something extra special. Melissa’s hospitality and the outstanding food made for a dinner that went far above my expectations. I loved it so much. I’ve already been back twice to share it with friends and family. C’est magnifique!"

"I stopped by this morning while out on a cold walk and decided to treat myself to a tea — and wow, what a pleasant experience! I’ve seen this spot for months but never walked in until today, and I’m so glad I finally did. The person who took my order was incredibly kind and welcoming. They even came out and personally handed me my drink — such a thoughtful gesture that made the whole visit feel cozy and personal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I absolutely love the adorable teddy bears — such a cute touch that adds to the charm. I ordered the Fujiyama tea, and it was delicious! I’ve been a regular at their Bellevue location for years, so it’s wonderful to have a Kirkland addition that keeps the same quality and heart. Honestly, after a disappointing experience at Café Hagan recently, this visit completely restored my mood. The service here was everything I hoped for — friendly, genuine, and full of warmth. Can’t wait to come back soon (and maybe try some food next time)!"

"An excellent little spot tucked in the south arm of the Aegis Living. It is well decorated, bright, and neat- and we got there just before any rushes! Patricia was a lovely server, helping us choose what was best from the menu, and helping provide the best cafe experience for me and my partner. The French drinking chocolate was rich and creamy, served at perfect drinking temperature. This was an excellent choice for a little morning treat!"
