I've gone to Zoka many times over the years. Mostly to the original location by Greenlake. They are a good place when I am in the area. I live on the Eastside and thought I'd try their new Kirkland location. I ordered a triple tall Americano to go. I was a little surprised by the price of $4.36. This drink is usually in the low $3 range. What I was given was a double shot pulled the full 12 oz. in a ceramic cup. It is offensive to be charged for three shots and only receive a long pulled 2 shots. Secondly, an Americano is best with a nice head of creama on the top. This was destroyed by the barista pouring of the Americano into a paper cup from the ceramic cup. Thirdly, the Americao was acidic in taste due to the long pull extraction of the espresso. Long story longer, they will not be receiving $4.36 from me again. more

Thrilled to have this great coffee hangout in Kirkland. Located right by the water area of Kirkland on Lake St and 85th (Central Way). Same great coffee, atmosphere and pastries. Whether you are meeting someone, or there to do homework or simply pass some time and catch your breath, this is the perfect place for it. more
