Came around 11:15 AM on a Thursday. The parking lot which is tiny was full, we took the last spot, but there's probably some street parking within a 5 min walk easy to find. The shop itself is smaller, but had plenty of seating. There were a good number of patrons there at the time. I ordered one of their seasonal iced matcha drinks, along with a cookie. They apparently had 50% off day old cookies, which I didn't realize (if there was a label on these I didn't notice), but I love the idea. Drink and cookie were good! They were made quickly and were a decent price especially compared to other local places. I don't drink coffee but my friends love their espresso too. Definitely a decent place to stop by! read more

I admittedly only came into Diva Espresso as it was a block away from my Airbnb, what a gem in plain sight! I ended up coming back a second time on my weekend trip. The baristas were kind, and the service was fast! The café was decorated for pride month, and the overall decor was whimsical and fun. I didn't have a chance to try any of the food, but would love to come back at some point to do so. I would definitely recommend! read more

Diva Espresso - The barista called her "the original diva". - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

How I heard of this place: About fifteen years ago, a friend of mine started working at Diva as a barista. We often met for coffee there, but only recently have I set foot back in a Diva establishment. Type of cuisine: Coffee shop fare with well-crafted espresso beverages, an overflowing pastry case, and fun questions of the day to save you a few cents off of your final bill. Ambiance: Warm, welcoming and cozy, this cafe has only a few places to sit, including a bar-height table and stools for two at the front corner window, looking out onto Greenwood Avenue. Windows along two sides face the main street and allow for some natural light to come through, even on darker, grey days. A few tables are also available to the right upon entry, where people on laptops are often found enjoying beverages and pastries in solitude. Baristas are often smiling and offer a warm greeting as patrons enter. What I ordered: A mocha, my usual. What I loved: The mocha was smooth, the coffee full and lacking in the sour notes of acidity. Their roast is quite nice, and the creaminess of the velvety steamed milk created the perfect cup. Why I loved it: The questions of the day are fun, interesting, and educational! The beans are prepared to perfection, giving a truly splendid cup of joe. Cost: Average read more

Diva Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stopped by here mid morning on a weekend and both the gal who rung me up as well as the barista were barely civil. It was sad because I was friendly and ordered a simple iced mocha and tipped well. I saw them be unfriendly to other customers so it wasn't personal but I always walk away after paying for a $7 drink feeling bad if the service is also not worth it. Three stars for a great mocha! read more

Great coffee, wonderful service, good pastries, this is a good location and a cute little spot to meet up.

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. read more

Good spot for grab and go. Espresso here is a little too strong/bitter for me, but I keep coming back just for the pastries! Cute cozy vibe, pretty small with limited seating. read more

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. read more

Diva Espresso - a hand holding a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

such a classic seattle spot. consistently good, especially the orange zest mocha drink which is to die for! also they give you a big free drink on your birthday. such a vibe read more

Very nice baristas and you can tell by the conversations that this is a place frequenter by neighbors who they've built a relationship with (love that). Wide variety of baked good to choose from that are from local places as well. The inside has a few tables so if the weather is bad and you need to get work done, you may or may not have a spot inside to work. Unfortunately for me the coffee was just not good. I ordered their smallest cappuccino size and just couldn't taste any espresso. It was just all milk. read more

So far they are my favorite local chain, I have three fairly close to me but only one has decent parking. The baristas are super helpful, I ordered something with oat milk and they let me know my drink had dairy. Much appreciated. read more

Diva's are pretty consistent and always a good stop. This location has some extra space and we'll laid out. Holiday options are good with festive drinks......Peppermint Bark Latte is yum! I just wish they'd use coffee with a bit more character. I like a dark roast with a bit of a nutty/toasty flavor. Staff here is always pleasant and accommodating. read more

They have a very nice chai tea - just enough spice t make me feel warm and cozy (all-year long). I also like they have hemp milk to bring out the flavor just a touch more than almond or regular milk. My only negative about this place is the prices feel steep. A 16 oz cuppa is close to $10.00. I started making my own chai tea lattes at home, however sometimes I'm out of hemp and chai tea so... read more

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. read more

Diva Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had the most basic drink there is, Pumpkin Chai Latte, and it was 100% delicious -- I'll own that. Order was made real quick, no one really there on a Thursday before closing. Parking in the rear for customers. Small place, coffee prices are about the same as other local chains or independent cafes. I need to come back and try some actual coffee :D but the fall drinks alone are worth it read more

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. read more

Diva Espresso - Nicely done Divas! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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! read more

Diva Espresso - Double Generro (that's a Machiatto with orange twist) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

Went here unexpectedly. They have a small parking lot that could fit about 6 cars - but we found street parking quite easily down the street since the lot was pretty full. Walking in - they have bar stools looking out onto the streets. They also have ample table and chairs so this place could hold more people than I expected. They have two bathrooms that are easily accessible as well. Along with coffee - they have teas & Italian sodas. I ordered peppermint tea - it was much needed after an already coffee-filled day. Sat by the window and people-watch. You bus your own tables & the bus cart is right by the bathroom. After passing by this place so many times - glad I gave them a try. I will be back to try their coffee. read more

Diva Espresso - Hot Peppermint Tea. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love this funky little coffee shop! Nice baristas and their coffee is the best I've had in Seattle. Sorry, Starbucks, it's been awhile--Diva on 80th and Greenwood keeps me out of Starbucks. read more

I love how cozy this coffee shop feels! The decor and styling of the interior is on the old-fashioned side, but coffee shops like these are a breath of fresh air from all the usual modern hipster coffee places. The noise level is perfect for both small talk and productive work. The barista was super nice and patient. He answered all of my questions (it was my first time there) and gave recommendations. We didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. I ordered the chestnut praline, one of their special flavors they were promoting, and really loved it. The flavors were rich but the coffee didn't feel heavy or overly sweet. I also tried my friend's chai latte and thought it was pretty good as well. Would definitely come back for more! read more

Made a quick stop here to grab coffee and something to eat on our way to downtown. They have so many flavor for coffees and some options for tea. We got the hazelnut and baklava latte. It was amazing! Friendly staff and good location. Bus to downtown right outside the cafe across the street. read more

Good amount of parking in the lot in an area that has plenty of street parking, super cute inside, great baristas, good coffee and WOW! Very impressed by the pastry offerings AND cold case of more hearty breakfast and lunch options. I had a pesto egg muffin with cheddar this morning, which they heated up for me. Crisp on the outside, flavorful and melty on the inside... And the best part it was barely over $4, if at all. $9 for an almond milk latte and perfect on-the-go breakfast? Yes, please! Their day old basket looks well stocked, too, which a cheap jerk like me always appreciates. read more

The nutty chai latte is delicious. I'm so glad this place is right in my neighborhood.

I used to love coming to a Diva, but lately the quality just hasn't been the same. I just get a simple Americano and the past two times have been terrible. I won't be back to this location for my coffee when there are so many great coffee shops in the area. read more

Before I moved to Seattle, I had a romantic notion of what a neighbourhood coffeehouse would be. I imagined a sophisticated affair appointed perfectly with clean modern furniture or something like a comfortable creaky home converted with mismatched chairs, tables and music that I'd play at home over their speakers. I found the latter, the first time I entered here, score! There's no wi-fi offered but the library is literally a block away. You might be able to hop on their bandwidth but I've not tested out this theory. The pastries are pretty good. Near the biscotti cabinet there is a "day-old" basket for goodies if funds are tight. The items are still tasty and cheaper! My current favourite drink is an off menu concoction. It's an iced double short cherry non-fat mocha... and it's GOOD! If you order this, tell them Kristine from Yelp suggested it! It can never take the place of my non-fat mocha Chumley but few things can - that drink is like crack. Sweet sweet dessert crack. read more

i was in greenwood visiting from california, and was on a mission to try as many coffee shops within walking distance as i possibly could. and yet the one that stuck with me the most overall was diva espresso, i ended up coming here every single day i was there! the staff was very welcoming and helpful when i couldn't decide on what to order. i love myself a good iced oatmilk latte, i ordered mine with the english toffee flavoring and it was delicious! espresso was really nice and smooth and gave me that extra boost of energy i needed throughout my trip! it's been a few weeks since i left washington but i still have diva espresso on my mind and i can't wait until i get a chance to go back. definitely check it out if you're in the area! read more

With the West Seattle location opening years ago, I've been a fan of Diva from the start. The coffees are simply delicious.

Diva Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is such a cute little coffee shop. I feel like I am in someone's quaint living room or something. I usually do not care much for a coffee shop decor/ambiance (I am more concerned about the coffee) but I do like the feel of this shop. I got an 8oz vanilla latte. The total came out to be $3.11 which I thought was reasonable - some places charges upwards of $4 for the same size latte. My first impressions of the latte was that the foam was not as heavily microfoamed as some of the other local coffeeshops but it was still rather tasty. And the espresso blended quite nicely with the milk. The vanilla syrup was not bad (a hair too sweet), but it blended rather well with the espresso and the milk. I am a fan! I live rather far away though so I might not go out of my way for this coffee shop but if I am in the area, I will stop by for sure. read more

Great Coffee. It's easy to fall into the trap of being devoted to one or two of the many great coffee shops around Seattle. On one side, you have the standard fare of Starbucks, and on the other, the unique flavors for the many roasters around Seattle. With that said, Diva falls into one of the unique flavors around Seattle. Their coffee is full flavored, the staff there are attentive, and absolutely willing to start a conversation, while they make your coffee. This location isn't large, a few tables and a couple parking spots, but what it lacks in space, it makes up, in a clean, delicious cup of coffee. There is a line in the morning, about 5-10 people deep, but it's worth the wait. =) read more

Don't get me wrong the coffee here is good but the service is horrible. I was in there with my 2 year old daughter having coffee and chocolate milk after going to the library. We ordered our drinks and sat by the windows in the front. I decided I was hungry and wanted to get a burrito to go with my coffee. I got in line behind a single customer to pay. The barista and customer got into a long conversation. In that time another customer had come in. Finally the barista wrapped up her conversation looked at me and told me rudely she was going to serve the other man, because he standing in the "right" place to order and I should have read the sign, (which was poorly placed). This after having already purchased coffee and standing patiently for at least 5 minutes wrangling a 2 year old while she was chatting. The gentleman was kind and seeing I had my hands full and had been there first insisted I go ahead. At that point I was upset at being treated so unexpectedly rudely that I decided to skip the burrito all together. My daughter and I love going to Seattle coffee shops on our adventures out. Usually staff in Seattle are wonderful and offer you a bit of grace when they see you have a well-behaved but lively kiddo in tow. This barista was not only dismissive but rude. Diva will not be on our list of places to go back to. read more

Recently I went to Diva to work on some writing, as I live nearby and I love the homey feel of this place. I ordered a drink that was displayed as a speciality seasonal drink. The Bautista, a tall guy, asked me "what is that?" I told him it was written on the sign in front of the espresso machine. He said "oh I don't look at that thing. What's in it?" At which point I described the nutty chai (chai with almond). There were a couple moments with him and another barista where I made a request ("not too sweet") and was met with defensiveness ("our drinks aren't too sweet here") and then of course I thought the drink was very sweet. I love sitting and relaxing at Diva, and in general I like the drinks, but the staff feels indifferent and at times callous toward customers. Not in love with that. read more

Excellent service and very good coffee. I got the drip - 3 types available with a well stocked self help counter for milk, sugar etc My partner got the mocha chumly- fantastic coffee and chocolate flavor. Quite different from the canned hersheys syrup they use jn most places. We were able to find indoor seating on a sunday afternoon and stayed for a few hours getting work done. Free wifi. 2 free drip coffee refills if you stay in the store the whole time. Am sure this includes outside seating Parking lot in the back makes it easy to stay here longer.

Good espresso, no nonsense, good vibes inside. Would be 4 stars but didn't see options for anything but take out paper cups. I'd enjoy a nice ceramic or glass mug when I'm drinking it in house. Businesses need to embrace an environmental ethic and produce less trash. Would happily upgrade this rating when this option is promoted for customers. Let's reduce the trash we make. read more

Great first impression here. The first thing I noticed was the large parking lot situated behind the building. The place has an older coffeehouse charm, with gold framed classical art, gaudy chandeliers, and old wooden tables. The large windows are perfect for staring out of. The service was really friendly. The cold brew was one of the best I've had. Tasted like some of the nitro cold brews I like. The seating is a bit limited, about six tables and 3 bar stools at a small table, but at 3pm on a weekday afternoon, it was not very busy. They tables are large and perfect for spreading some work out on, and there is free wifi to also aid in getting that work done (or distracting you terribly!). This is the kind of coffee shop that I wish was in walking distance from my place. read more
