Kirkland iRepair Opening in Downtown Kirkland

Kirkland iRepair
13 Central Way, Kirkland

Need your iPhone fixed but can’t live without it for several days?  Get quick repair turnaround (they claim under an hour in most cases) while supporting a new downtown Kirkland business.  They pretty much do it all, including Glass/LCD repair, speaker, camera, USB charging port, buttons, and water damage repair in case you’ve dropped it in the toilet (you’ll need to retrieve it yourself, though).  They can even change the color of your iPhone!  Save the hassle of spray paint and masking tape–Let them transform it for you.  They’re right on the corner where Central Way meets Market Street.

Watercress Vietnamese Bistro Opening in Kirkland

Watercress Vietnamese Bistro
89 Kirkland Avenue, Kirkland

With one location already in Seattle on Rainer Ave South, Watercress Vietnamese Bistro is crossing to the Eastside to one of the prime summertime outdoor dining locations.  The location has a large outdoor patio to attract tourists on sunny summer days.  Hopefully they’ll be open in time to capture some summer business.

Chainline Brewing Company Opening in Kirkland

Chainline Brewing Company
503 5th Street South, Kirkland

Just north of the downtown core next to the Google campus in Kirkland will be the home of Chainline Brewing.  As the second brewery in Kirkland (following the opening of FlyCaster Brewing in Totem Lake in May), Chainline Brewing will be adjacent to the Cross Kirkland Corridor, and they plan to have a deck which will overlook the trail.  The grand opening may still be a few months away, but once Google starts slurring its search results, we’ll know they’re open for business!

Top Pot Doughnuts & Coffee Opening in Juanita Village

Top Pot Doughnuts & Coffee
Juanita Village, Kirkland

Adding to their several Seattle and Eastside locations, Top Pot Doughnuts & Coffee will be opening their first Kirkland location in Juanita Village.  So this apparently answers the question of whether there are enough coffee shops in Juanita Village yet.  Or maybe Top Pot should be classified a doughnut shop that also serves coffee.  You decide.  The sign is up, but they’re still working on the interior, so the opening date hasn’t been set yet.  See you there when it opens!

Bottle and Bull Opening in Kirkland

Bottle and Bull
105 Lake Street, Kirkland

Scheduled to open in August in the downtown Kirkland location previously occupied by Tervelli UltraLounge across from Hector’s, Bottle and Bull will share the flavors of the places that Ernest Hemingway loved most.  In their own words, “Experience the travels of Ernest Hemingway through your palette, eating and drinking your way through the cities that Hemingway loved to frequent; Havana, Paris, Florence and Pamplona (where Hemingway discovered his love of bullfighting!) to name a few.”

 

Paisley Cupboard Closing Its Doors

Paisley Cupboard in the heart of Downtown Kirkland at 141 Park Lane has announced that they will be closing their doors after 20 years in business.

They’ll be missed by many, and there’s still time to stop by and take advantage of some great discounts as they clear out the store.  Stop by to say goodbye and benefit from the discounts on antiques, gifts, and home accessories.

Time to do some recruiting to get some new businesses to fill the empty space on this strip.
