Stopped in while I had to wait for my boyfriend to get off work. Around 3:30pm. Pretty quiet in the store, the barista was very helpful and cheery. Recommended some drinks and pastry's. I went with a latte and a rum soaked almond croissant. I was so happy. It was so tasty. While I was waiting a few more customers came in and she attended everyone and got our drinks/pastries in a very efficient time. The store itself opens up to the lobby area of a Kirkland urban building. There are public restrooms across the way and besides the tables and seating in Cafe Ladro there are comfy chairs right outside of it as well as patio seating for outdoors! Great place to sit and sip for a bit.

Service. Always friendly. Ambiance. Calm and relaxing. It's nice because the space is attached to the bottom floor of a Google Campus so a very nice spacious area to sit and enjoy coffee. The baked goods don't go as far as creating a WOW factor but still good food overall. Yet we all come for the coffee. I'm not a coffee expert but like wine, I know what I like. Cafe Ladro isn't terrible by any means but it misses for my taste buds. The coffee is either very light roast and light in flavor profile as well or other roasts can be rather acidic which isn't my cup of tea. What's nice is that it's a very easy coffee to drink but if you're expecting robust flavors/aromas and/or bold coffee or sweet drinks this isn't the place to go. Again not a knock by any means but not my cup of... Joe. But works well in a pinch as I'd much rather support Cafe Ladro over Starbucks across the way

Don't sleep on the drip coffee here, it's great! Also, the medici tastes great as well?

Compliments to this location, as they are incredibly clean, and the service that I was given exceeded my expectations. I am giving them three stars, because the parking isn't usually that convenient, the prices are a little bit higher than they should be in my opinion, at all of the locations, and the café itself is rather small. I will say that if you go to this location, there is some really cool study environments that I believe actually belong to the apartment complex that it's a part of, but nevertheless, it is a unique environment.

Delicious preparation of all personalized drinks! I loved the fresh bakery and it was super delicious.

The coffee was good and the staff was nice. Service wasn't the fastest as only one person was behind the counter. There isn't much space inside Caffe Ladro but the Kirkland Urban offers great outdoor seating and there is some building seating.

I am a fan of ladro at other locations and have enjoyed coming to this location as an (expensive) treat, but during my latest visit there were small ants everywhere, including on the counter near the cash register, pretty close to where drinks are made. Not very appetizing. Hopefully they get it under control soon.

Cute coffee shop with ample seating and a friendly barista. Tried the cold brew with cold foam topping which was perfect for a hot day.

Neither impressed nor disappointed- with coffee, food or service. The store has industrial chic decor and a cool place to hang out. Tried the cold brew and some baked goods - both were ok. Of course these days a small coffee is $6+ with tips. Want to try their espresso before I judge further.

Ladron coffee shop is absolutely outrageous with their pricing, charging a whopping $7.44 for a simple latte is daylight robbery. Save your money for a more reasonably priced caffeine fix.
On a nice sunny day, went in to get an iced Macchiato. Noticed that there was only one person working and actually felt bad. It wasn't very busy but enough that it would have been better to have one cashier and one barista. Coffee was nice and sitting outside was a great. Will be back if I'm shopping in the area.

Food and beverage always great, however service is not. I did a mobile order a few days ago when picking up, one item was out of stock, I'd already paid for items of course , but barista was rude and just said they didn't have it, and when trying to choose a substitute was even trying to argue what I chose was more than I originally paid when it was the same price, and I was never offered a refund either. I understand that the system is not always accurate but to treat customers rude when it was the companies error is uncalled for.

I love this place, always have for well over a decade now. But the prices have just gotten too absurd! I'd love to come more often, but not at $8+ for a cup of coffee!
