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.
