Crema's Take
“Zoka has become de facto Amazon employee cafe in South Lake Union, which means weekday mornings are crowded with free-drink perks that make it feel unwelcoming to walk-in customers—and the baristas' attitude often reflects that hierarchy. Quality is inconsistent (some say the coffee is below par), and you'll encounter frustrating operational quirks like staff refusing to sell display beans because they're not in the POS system yet. If you're an Amazon employee or visiting on a quiet weekday afternoon, you might find decent specialty drinks and friendly service; otherwise, there are better neighborhood options.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

Below par coffee. And Baristas are so rude. Dont know how amazon allows them to operate. I ordered a drink and asked them instead of 2 pistachio shots add only one. the barista is like i cant do that i requested still No. they are never be nice on cashier table too.
Nice place to get coffee and specialty beverages in South Lake Union. Coffee and chai are good and hit the mark. Staff is generally friendly but may not be welcoming during rush hours due to crowd from socialization/coffee chats of employees on campus. Limited selection of…
I might be biased because I work in the building and I get free coffee here as an employee. But these guys are great. The staff is super friendly and nice. They have so many options to choose from, they have different kinds of milk, coffee, tea and matcha as well. They carry a…
