white chocolate macadamia nut iced
ThuyVy N.

Went here in the morning on a wedneday at around 8/9 and it was fairly busy with 2 busy in front of us in line and all the tables inside were filled, with half the outside tables full. The service was very nice and fast and the overall vibe of the place is super nice and cute with cute outdoor seating. It also has like 5 parking spots which was really nice. Overall I thought my drink was pretty good, I had been to a diff location when they had summer drinks which I preferred but it just might be that I enjoy summer flavors more. I thought my drink was good tho but not the best, overall this time it was a 3.5 but I'll round up since I really enjoyed last time and the parking was great and it was so cute.

Chai

The chai was a good balance of sweet and spicy and was well made. The barista was also helpful and kind. She offered to make me something else if I didn't like it, but it was lovely! It's a small spot near the bus so not too many spots to sit, but pretty chill.

My new favorite coffee shop. We moved from South Lake Union to Ballard. Although we have quite a few local coffee shops to us, this is a frequent stop due to its location on my route to work. The staff are always very pleasant and greet you as you come in. They appear to have decent options for varieties of coffees and syrups. Seasonal drinks seem like fun choices! Pastries always look delicious, but I have yet to try any. This location in particular has ample seating- indoor and outdoor. Located on what can be quite a busy street, but provides parking in the lot or street. I got their ice princess- a blended coffee with vanilla. So delicious!!! Can't wait to venture through the entire menu.

Tumblers and coffee beans (12/14/22)

Can't believe I have not posted for indie Diva Espresso at 80th and Greenwood. I have been stopping in well before I was a Yelper! It is perfectly situated along Greenwood Ave N: this one at 80th, another near 105th, and also at 145th. They have many other Seattle locations and also one up in Kenmore. They also roast their own beans featuring quite a variety for purchase. I was awaiting a nearby restaurant takeout order, so I decided to walk over to Diva and warm up with a tasty mocha. Popular site in the neighborhood, as I had to queue with others in line, but this gave me an opportunity to consider the shelves of merch and the baked goods in the pastry case. This tiny cafe has limited onsite seating. A plus is that they have an adjacent parking lot and street parking. Friendly and efficient counter and barista staff. Beautiful coffee art and filled to the brim. Spot on crafted mocha, perfect temp, balanced flavors of coffee and chocolate.

Today was pretty chill and decided come for teas. Ordered blueberry bergamot tea 16 oz,like for tea pretty pricey,but was good. Nice worker,fast service. Cool atmosphere.

Super decent coffee in a great location. Service was quick and handcrafted beverages were delish. In a town where everyone thinks they can make espresso happen, Diva, really takes the cake. Lots of pastries available, RTE items and retail. Would for sure come here again.

Nicely done Divas!
Don K.

Another local coffee shop that I've driven by so many times and never stopped in. Parking is the usual limiting factor here. Fortunately, I snagged the last parking spot in their small lot. After a not so good espresso earlier in the morning, I had to get something good to replace it. Their dopio is just what I needed. Just enough crema, just smooth enough with a bit of a bite at the end. Whew. I know, first world espresso snob problems. The pastry with spinach and feta was just ok and thus the 4 stars. Cute place with decent wifi. I'm glad I stopped by.

Double Generro (that's a Machiatto with orange twist)
Matthew M.

Par Excellence in Coffee Houses! Freshly roasted and ground beans, the Chumley, and the Generro are among the specialty items--not to mention those in the bakery case--that set Diva apart from Starbuck's. Diva, again, gives off what I call a "dollhouse" feel to it, meant the quaint a cozy factor is off the charts. I prefer Diva, Van Gogh Dolce Vita and the local coffee shacks to the corporate, cookie-cutter conglomerates (the exception being Tully's). Diva Greenwood is perfectly situated in the middle of one of the best areas in the city, although parking is a bit tricky (you have to make a left turn from EB NW 80th Street right past the Greenwood Ave. N traffic light), or you can park along Greenwood Ave. N without much fear of getting a parking ticket. This place almost has a surreal coziness about it, especially on a fall or winter morning or twilight. I mean, you could almost film a movie here for a great cameo!

I wish I didn't have to take two buses to get there, but it's worth dropping by every time I find myself in Greenwood. I remember the first time I went, it was during the November '18 writing workshops organized by the library and its convenient location and cozy interior enticed me. I regret not learning her name, but the barista who was there that day was amazing. She was working alone, but she cleared the line in less than five minutes. She made me a delicious, foamy latte, and later on a big cup of rooibos tea. I must have stayed there for 4+ hours working. At one point, shortly before closing, the barista offered us some free snacks, which was a nice touch. I chose a bagel and she warmed it up for me - it was delicious, but the gesture really stayed with me! I don't usually buy food in cafes, but I know a portion of it goes to waste at closing. It just seemed to nice that she was willing to offer it to the customers instead. Not to mention, everyone seemed to love chatting with her. It does get a bit cold as the evening progresses and people come and go, but I still think it's a nice place to sit down with a cuppa and do some work. I also disagree with other reviewers who implied the baristas don't clean it - when I was there, the whole place got wiped down and vacuumed even shortly before closing for the night. The barista was attentive despite the steady stream of people coming in and made sure to chat with everyone. I got the impression she was a favourite with the regulars. I'll probably add more to this review once I've gone back.

Iced English toffee latte
Shaquala D.

Both of the mask wearing baristas were super friendly and they made me an awesome iced English toffee latte. The cookies look really good too, but I didn't get to try one!

See all

They have a couple outside tables with chairs, so we opted to sit outside. The staff was kind and efficient and the service was quick! Especially appreciated since I had my dog with me. To eat, I got the spicy bacon breakfast sandwich. It definitely has a kick! I would recommend it warmed; they get the bread extra toasty which made the sandwich even better! To drink, I got the seasonal Slice of Heaven iced. It's a vanilla latte with lavender and lemon, with the prominent flavors being the vanilla and lavender. It's creamy and not too sweet, a perfect coffee drink to start the day.

I order something different almost every time I come here, and every cup has been perfect. Everything tastes very well balanced. If there isn't a location near you, it is 100% worth it to purchase beans when you visit. Just let them know how you prepare your coffee and they can grind it for you. Even when there's a line I feel like it's never a long wait. There's also lots of seating here at this location. Nice staff, pleasant atmosphere, and the best coffee. If you love coffee, you must try this place.

Good menu with rotating seasonals. Pastries & snacks sold. CONS: Shockingly overpriced for what it is! Makes no sense. They've turned a $3.50 drink into a $10 extravaganza. Nothing you get in this store is unique, all of the add ons are very common all over Seattle. You'll get cheaper & proper Viet coffee in International District. Everything tastes like a milkshake. If you want a thick fancy shake with overpriced toppings go for it. Servers are not always friendly. Pastries look tired and stale. I'm sure they are good I haven't eaten one from the looks of it. Bad parking - you have to pay some random person to park now for what used to be a nice community pedestrian area with free parking. If you're local and can walk down, no problem. If you're driving, look for street parking behind the shop. Overall I bring tourists and out of town folks for a milkshake experience. If I'm pressed for time I go for a drink here and then curse myself every time for doing so. I never get caffeinated no matter what I order and it's always $10 gone. I expected this store to have some parking options for their customers but they don't even do that.

Sometimes I come here while my car is across the street in the shop…read more I have always thought that their food items were HELLU overpriced. Their breakfast sandwich is literally $13 for a $5 sandwich. Today I had a simple drip coffee. This was $5.77 Then, you notice a jar for tips, and it has a sign that says, "You have already tipped, but jar is for more tips if you want to" So, yeah.... This means already damn expensive items having tipping built on top of the pricing, and the biggest issue is that you are tipping without your own choice, AND it is done before you have even received ANY service. Wait a minute.. there actually IS NO SERVICE. You order at counter. You operate the card reader yourself. The woman behind counter lifts a coffee pot, and pours it into your cup. That is literally all she does. Then you... go to the other counter to add your own cream. Nobody has come to my table to ask me if I want anything else, or how is everything, etc. Don't correct to clear your own table, because they have it set up for you to do that to. I forgot to mention the creamer was spoiled, so the coffee was not drinkable.

The cold wind and…read moregrey skies made everything on the menu pop out as comforting and delicious and the staff was friendly and patient while I looked at their display of baked goods and finally decided on the ham biscuit. It's a decent amount of biscuit with large chunks of ham and there plenty of seating to relax and enjoy the morning that isn't hustle and bustling like in downtown. I walked further to the metro bus stop down the street and was tempted to check the local dispensary on the next block but ran out of time. Will come back with friends, plenty of coffee dates and conversation were happening within but this solo adventure was just as enjoyable.
