"Lovely cafe in the heart of Kirkland waterfront right by the water. Buzzing with activity and lived their coffee roast which is sourced directly from the growers. They also have a few pastry choices but good place to get your coffee fix or just hang out or work."

"Zoka in Kirkland greets you with tons of natural light, plants, and a few art displays—it’s a beautiful sight as you walk in. I tried the mocha, which was good (though not great) and a bit on the pricier side. When I visited on a Sunday morning, the café was busy and filled with chatter. It’s not the quiet Sunday morning vibe some might expect, but more of a lively, social atmosphere. Interestingly, even with the noise, people were still reading, working, or studying—it all felt in harmony. As a local, I grabbed my coffee and walked down to the waterfront to sit by Lake Washington, which was the perfect way to enjoy it. On Sundays, you can usually find free parking in the lot out front or near the waterfront."

"I really love this place in downtown Kirkland. I get a lavender latte and I don't know of any other espresso place that has this on their menu and it's so good! The place has a lot of tables and space . All windows. Free wifi . Ever changing local artwork is on the walls . Worth going to if you are ever in Downtown Kirkland. I highly recommend them for their coffee and the ambiance !"

"A great variety of flavors is offered. We tried hazelnut & pistachio latte - loved both. Looks like table & chairs don’t get cleaned often. We grabbed a table and it was very dirty & messy, and someone who grabbed the table next to us had the same complaint."

"I recently visited this coffee shop, and while the ambiance was undeniably chic and earthy-cute, it was unfortunately let down by the drinks. The coffee was disappointing—weak and lacked the richness I was hoping for. The tea was no better, and the lattes just missed the mark. The portions felt off, and they weren’t hot enough, which really took away from the experience. It’s a great place for a cozy vibe, but if you’re a coffee or tea lover, you might want to pass on the drinks here."
