Kitanda

First time in and it was an awesome experience. Clean establishment, tidy display cases, friendly and prompt service, and delicious food! The brownie was so tasty I almost forgot a picture, the sandwich was a delight with the chewy bread texture and fresh spinach, and the mocha was great with very smooth espresso! The only reason I didn't give it a perfect five star is because the mocha wasn't all the was stirred/mixed and for me it could have used a bit more chocolate (but I'm a chocoholic ) I highly recommend this place for a coffee, snack, or sweet... they even have a cold case for you to take home your own bags of Kitanda!

Glad to see that Kitanda had opened up at Alderwood mall! They are located right outside the food court near Jamba Juice. I really enjoy their smoothies and Kitanda bread! The space is open and clean however there is limited seating inside.

Great açaí bowls, yummy good, quick service, and great ambiance with modern feel. A wonderful addition to Lynnwood!

Update! I had a friend go back to Kitanda in Lynnwood to see if anything has changed... she had a good experience and let me know that there was new staff there who were very attentive so I decided to give them another try!I was greeted upon my arrival they double checked to make sure my order was correct and they were very kind and polite to me and that really really made my day! Thank you for taking the necessary measures to improve your service! I can finally enjoy going to my favorite spot without any drama!

We've become frequent flyers at Alderwood Mall's Kitanda. Their snacks and sweets are quite delicious and they also offer a small variety of Brazilian chocolates, juices, and frozen foods. We always get their frozen bag of pão de queijo to take home. So good! We've also tried their Açaí, packed with fruits, delicious! Their pão de queijo sandwiches are a hit, with sweet and savory fillings. These are my husband's go-tos. Their coffee is the best. We always prefer Kitanda when we new hungry at the mall. It never disappoints!

Really disappointed with this coffee shop. Wanted to try something new at this Lynwood location and was severely upset. Me and my husband came in and ordered one iced white chocolate mocha and kitanda bread. We had our newborn baby and toddler with us and what seemed like would be a quick trip took over 30 minutes. The girl working was taking forever on everyone's order and then would just stand around while the other worker was making Acai bowls and trying to get her to work. I made eye contact with her mutiple times so I would think she wouldn't forget my order but after standing there for so long holding my baby my husband came in. He asked what was going on with our order and the girl said "she threw away our number" the man apparently threw away the our drink because they messed up. They then had to look up our drink to remake it. He then had to throw it away again because he messed up. When we finally got the drink it was more caramel in there than white chocolate. The bread bites were stale as rocks. I worked as a barista at a very high rated bakery for over 5 years and never experienced this slow and crappy of service and drink. You'd have better coffee at McDonald's or any other food place in the food court. Don't recommend Kitanda at all.

Customer service very poor. The store was pretty much empty but the employees took almost 5 min to take my order. After they got my order I waited another 10min and went to inquire about my order and then they started preparing. Kitanda in Kirkland is way better in all ways possible.

The ambiance is really gloomy and the guy working the counter was really dismissive and didn't seem like he was happy to be there. There was another customer that walked in after I ordered and he completely ignored her until he was done with my smoothie. I mean wouldn't even look at her. I ordered a 16oz smoothie and cheese bread that cost me a whopping $13, and the cup wasn't even full. There was about an inch of space from the lid. When I'm paying for a smoothie that costs $10 for 16oz, I at least want the cup to be full. The smoothie and bread themselves were good but not worth the price or attitude. The guy handed my items to me very dismissively and didn't say anything except the items I ordered. No "thank you," "have a nice day." I recommend Emerald City Smoothie in the mall. Better prices and better attitudes for way more product.
