I've tried Zoka a few different times over a couple years and have never enjoyed the drinks. I've ordered different things each time and they have all tasted overly watery/milky with an odd sugar balance. I think the location is cute and inviting but I think I'll stop coming in hoping for a different experience

Excellent coffee, yummy pastry (glutinous and gluten-free), modern airy design and space to set up a laptop or chat with friends. I love this Zoka location in the heart of downtown Kirkland. It's always in the must-visit list when in the area. Usually a line, but quick service. Try the brown sugar oat latte or the cardamom honey latte!

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.

Highly recommend the "Aztec Mocha" (Hot). It was amazing! It felt like hot chocolate hugging coffee with a hint of cinnamon. Loved the unique flavor and balance of chocolate and coffee! However, the ambience and service was decent. Will definitely go back again to have it to-go

We walked into Zoka hoping for iced tea and a coffee for the honey, and the honey got his coffee.To start, Zoka Coffee Roaster & Tea Company does not currently have AC and quite frankly, it's baseline stuffy, borderline unsafe for their baristas, especially with as many people as were in attendance this last weekend.We got in line and it turns out Zoka (unlike most coffee/tea spots) won't make any tea they have in stock into iced tea. Which is fine, but it took a couple back and forths to understand that as the barista just kept confirming two tea flavors - instead of simply saying, 'we only have two iced teas available'. Since Zoka also doesn't carry coconut milk there wasn't much else on the menu I could drink. I ended up re-downloading the Starbucks app since it's just across the street and I can trust they'll always have my milk option in stock.I do want to say that I really appreciate shops that carry oat, almond, and coconut milk for allergy accessibility and I hope that Zoka looks into carrying other options since I prefer shopping small.That being said, we are unlikely to return.

Popped in here because I was going to get a pedicure at bayside nails, but after waiting 15 minutes + to get seated , I decided to just leave and grab a coffee instead. Have driven by Zola many times and it's always crowded. Surely due to the prime location. But I thought now would be a great time to finally try. The atmosphere is loud and lively. Which I don't mind either way... although I wouldn't come here to get work done or do anything that takes concentration. I ordered an iced lavender white mocha with oat milk. When I paid I was a bit taken aback by the total of 9.87 for one drink. I then hoped my coffee would taste amazing and somehow justify that price.... But it doesn't. She's alright. But I can't taste any lavender which is highly disappointing so I just feel like I'm drinking an okay white mocha. The flavor of the espresso is good. Good enough for a $10 drink? Not to me.

Despite a beautiful interior Zoka was ultimately disappointing in their drinks.We ordered both the iced honey cardamom latte which was borderline flavorless and the iced Aztec mocha which was unpalatable.Would not recommend coming here--drinks were left unfinished.

Such a cute spot. Very spacious on the inside. Various areas to sit & chat or work. Great for small & larger groups. The barista was helpful & kind. The chai's are delicious!

Love the ambience and plants at this coffee shop. Great place to hang out and get some work done too. Not sure about the service though... It would be tremendously helpful if maybe they took our names for the order. It just got really busy and the employees and customers were equally lost, a bit of a mess. Good for coffee (if you get what you asked for) but their food is just okay. Could be improved.

A nice local spot to grab a cup of coffee and take a walk by the Kirkland waterfront.
