“ My favorite coffee joint in all of Washington! The ambience is just buzzing and full of life and feel good feelings. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating as well. They are clean and there's a lot of seating inside as well as some chairs for outdoor seating. They also have complimentary water, which is great! They have a good selection of pastry items and pastries are half off after 2 pm! They also hang art from local artists so I love the support for the community as well. This coffee shop will always have a place in my heart when visiting Washington ”
“ Was meeting a friend I hadn't seen for a couple of years and we agreed to meet at Zoka. Parking is all paid nearby and it is a little hard to get to since it's in Downtown Kirkland. I love that the coffee shop is on the corner of the building! It is so great seeing its fun interior and greenery. The service was nice and friendly. Walking inside it was wowza to see the amount of people there studying. I was worried we wouldn't find a good seat but we got lucky. Coffee was great! Not a lot of food options. Mainly breakfast/ pastries and at 3pm on a weekend they were out of most pastries. Overall I'd go again, but having to pay for parking and looking for a seat is a little intimidating so I'd probably only go if I'm in the area! ”
“ Wow I love them! They have various locations around Seattle plus this one on the Eastside yaay! They are very good. Their coffee is deep but not bitter. I like it warm personally but cold can also be a good option on a warm day. Two people from my party like their expresso warm and sipped at once because they tell "that's the way" :D I love the one under This place has almost same options always. It has changed from when I first came. I remember some sofas on the left side. It felt cozy drinking coffee with a Lady Yum macaroon from next door. This time it felt more like an open cafeteria were single parties occupy a whole table with just one cup of coffee and work all day long. It felt like an office. There was no space just to hang out and drink coffee in a cozy way. Could there be individual spots for working people and other options for other customers to talk? I noticed also the art wall changed. Nice! ”
“ I enjoyed spending time here today. It has a nice atmosphere with lots of greenery! The baristas are friendly and my drink was made with good time. They were moderately busy. My latte was good, the espresso was nice, but the microfoam was thicker like a cappuccino v latte. The zucchini bread was great! ”
“ This was an amazing place to coffee! The coffee was good and so was the last cookie there(snickerdoodle). Although the line was long, our coffe came quickly! Would recommend. ”
“ Such a cute coffee shop!! I LOVE all the big windows and how aesthetic Zoka is. Their coffee is always really great, and it's a perfect place to stop by and work for a bit or just grab a quite bite/drink and walk down to the waterfront. We ordered the Honey Cardamom Latté & Brown Sugar Oat Milk Latté (which we liked a little better). Both were really good though! Will definitely be back to try some of their teas and pastries. ”
