Kitanda Espresso & Acai
2202 8th Ave, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Kitanda brings an authentic slice of Brazil to Seattle's coffee scene, with espresso drinks that taste like home and pão de queijo that transports you straight to Rio. The spotless, welcoming space has earned genuine affection from homesick Brazilians and Seattle coffee lovers alike, making it feel less like a café and more like a gathering place where quality ingredients and warm service are non-negotiable.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

I wish I had found this place earlier… a must go when you enjoy good, fresh and less processed food - which was surprisingly hard for me in Seattle. I had a Kitanda bread and an Açaí bowl and both were delicious and freshly made. The Flate White was also pretty good!
