There was a line to order, didn't take long though. I ordered a special and it was very good. And the lavender lemon cake. Cool cute location by the hospital read more

I've been to some of the other diva espresso locations and really liked it but today this spot wasn't very good, my first smoothie I've tried for them and it wasn't very good. The chocolate hazelnut cake we had was just alright. Service was nice and quick. When they gave me my smoothie the cap was already broken on it so I was spilling it for a bit which wasn't great but I hadn't even noticied until I sat at a table nearby. Spot is nice. Will try again and get coffee, probs just isn't a smoothie place. It is called diva espresso so makes sense read more

I need to be better about asking for names. After months of working on First Hill, I finally made it in here. I felt like I was in a small town coffee shop because most of the people in line were regulars. The baristas were friendly and excellent at their craft since my Vanilla Oat Milk Latte was delicious on various occasions. Just the right amount of flavor and sweetness, plus a creamy foam on top. I came in once when their Internet was down, yet they still served the customers as they worked through the issue with a "I O U" verbal agreement. I came in the following week to pay my dues, and of course get another latte, and was thanked for coming back in with discount. This diva always leaves happy from Diva Espresso. read more

Can't recommend enough. Just the kind of cafe you want to be a regular at (which im sure is the case if you work at the hospital). They have really fun latte flavor combinations - highly recommend the lavender lemon. Service was excellent, space is smaller (more of a drop in and grab your drink to go type space) but they do have some tables and chairs. Will definitely be back and may try the other locations around the city. read more

Great coffee and fast service, even when busy in the morning. Cool environment to chill and enjoy your drink. Just across the street from Harborview Hospital. Located in the 9th and Jefferson Medical Center. read more

It was right around the corner from my doctor's office. The drip coffee was excellent. Hopefully I have enough time after my next medical appointment at harborview for a mocha... and bring my travel mug read more

The Most Convenient Spot For Me! SITREP Did I really just say that? "The Most Convenient"? It IS when you are bringing dear ole mom to the hospital for a series of appointments and you have to wait a few hours and you do NOT want to do it in a hospital waiting room. THE SETUP And "The Most Convenient" part comes in when you see that this delightful cafe is located with it's outside-entrance back into the first level of the Bayview Hospital building itself. From Coffees, Teas, Pastries, Yogurts, Juices, to many many other breakfast-focused, lunch-focused items, Diva Espresso is a fantastic spot in terms of "the goods": we thoroughly enjoyed our coffees and bagels here enjoyably while waiting for the 1st appointment. THE DIVA KRISTEN Props to Kristen who was my go-to gal here at Diva. In fact, I think of her AS "The Diva" in Diva Espresso! Full of warm laughter, a bright smile, and a sparkling personality. She kept me happy with my beverages and pastries. POSTING Then after escorting mom to her first appointment, I was able to come back here, park my ass, and enjoying a couple hours of peaceful posting with my laptop, getting coffee refills, and warming up to the vibe of this sweet coffee house. THE LOWDOWN Such an ideal find for anyone doing personal hospital-business here at the Bayview Hospital, even MORE so for the employees of the hospital whom I saw in droves over the course of 2-3 hours. read more

A very welcoming space with friendly and helpful staff. The espresso drinks are GREAT, too!! What sealed the deal for me was the pro-diversity vibe of the place, with rainbow signage and a trans flag in the window. I felt seen and supported at this place. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but diva espresso makes some good coffee! I'm not much of a coffee person I usually do mine at home but I had asked of something not too strong and not too sweet and they gave me the perfect one! Customer service is honestly good they always have a positive attitude will definitely recommend trying this spot if you haven't already! read more

Cute little coffee shop hidden in downtown. I wouldn't expect this cozy shop to be located here but it is very welcoming and it gives me drive through coffee stand vibes with their seasonal drink menus and decor. I got a matcha latte it was ok, a bit too much honey which I didn't know was included in a matcha latte? Anyways, friendly and cute spot that I will probably go to often since it's near my work. I love their menu with a lot of options the prices are similar to other coffee ships about $6 for any 16 oz drink. read more

Nice little coffee shop. Is def reliable and nice breakfast sandwich jalapeño and bacon croissant! Nice.

Came here with my friends today because I usually love the matcha here. We were met with the first barista who said barely five words to us with a dirty attitude. After receiving my drink, it didn't taste the same as normal so I asked nicely if there was anything they could do to fix it. Although my drink was remade and tasted better, after saying thank you I got no response and the cold shoulder. Didn't enjoy my experience here, won't be back anytime soon. read more

This is my go to latte place. Their holiday lattes are TOP NOTCH for sure. I love their PSL. They currently have a sugar plum fairy latte which is caramel and marshmallow which packs great flavor without being too sweet. Devine! They will heat up a great selection of sandwiches for lunch as well. Staff is always friendly. Worth a stop if you're on first hill or even just because read more

Diva Espresso - Sugar plum fairy latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love Diva for a few reasons. Firstly, it's hard to find good coffee at Harborview, and Diva is conveniently across the street. I've had their drips a few times and think they are perfect light-medium roast, not too much acid and not to0 smokey dark, so you can hit a lot of flavors with each sip. The staff are always happy and quick to take care of long lines, I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to put in my order. Lastly, they have vegan pastries that are clearly labeled and some local brand vegan sandwiches and burritos. I bought a few Hangry Vegan burritos to chomp on while I walked up and down miles of hill of James St and really liked how they held up in my coat pocket. The barista also toasted up a breakfast sandwich for me that tasted like beyond sausage, just egg, and a slice of violife on an English Muffin, and you can't really go wrong with that combo. I also like that I can feed myself with good food and beverage for a reasonable price, which isn't that easy these days in Seattle. read more

I was excited to try their coffee and finally came in early Saturday morning to this location. The service was friendly although the gentleman at the front decided to ring up the couple he knew who came after me, before me. I sort of stood there waiting for my turn to pay even though my drink was ready. I thought it was inconsiderate, almost like letting people cut the line. The least they could have done was ask. Anyways, coffee was okay but the second thing I would say is NOT to order pastries off the shelf. As I was standing there patiently waiting ahemmm, I noticed there were hella fruit flies (decent size swarm) flying in and out of the food which wasn't wrapped. There is no door behind on that display counter to keep bugs out, so gross. I was going to order a scone but settled for the packaged sandwich instead. Sorry but I would never return here, maybe still try their Bothell location if it's more sanitary! Very disappointing because this a local coffee spot I've been dying to try. Head up - They do have an app and rewards program tho. read more

In a surprising black hole of coffee shops near Harborview, it is remarkable that Diva has a monopoly on the 9th & Jefferson intersection. Yet I'm so glad that the corner is not dominated by a certain green-colored coffee establishment. Delightful, quick and friendly service. Delicious espresso, local pastries that are fresh every morning, great music, and a really fun staff. I'm here a bit too often but there are few other coffee shops I would gladly give my money to. Pro tip: Load a gift card and get bonus $. Use it like cash. read more

I am in love with the generra, I get the largest size, quad shot, breve, with whip. The generra is a latte with a little orange zest and is my favorite drink in general, but theirs is extra yummy! Place is dog friendly, spacious, good place to set up and work and I love the inclusive staffing. This could easily become my favorite neighborhood cafe! read more

This is the perfect little coffee shop! Location: accessible and on Harbourview campus. Easy to find and convenient for hospital workers/ visitors. Quality: fantastic and delicious. I've never had an order with an error, and as a frequenter, the baristas know my order. Environment: a true Seattle quirky coffee shop with delicious roasted coffee and drinks. Food: pastries are yummy and the food they sell is local. Price: about equal to Starbucks in pricing. If I could change something: the whipped cream is just literally whipped cream. I'd prefer a sweeter whipped cream. I'd keep being a regular here. read more

I come here every day I work at the hospital. Since the manager Christina left a few weeks ago, I've noticed this place has changed in a not so good way. The lines are longer, the wait times have increased quite a bit, and the place is not as clean. And the food displays are not as nice and not stocked well, e.g. the breakfast burrito I used to get is out. I hope things get better. read more

Not a spot I'll return too, which is a bummer as it's close to work and I live near the Greenwood location and go there often. I purchase client gifts regularly and stopped in to get a tumbler and a gift card as well as a drink for myself. The space was pretty dirty already at 8:30am, and both employees were less than friendly. As I picked up my quad shot with extra ice (after a longer wait than I'm use to) I added about an inch of cream over the extra ice and the barista sneered at me "you should have told me you wanted a latte". When I initially ordered my drink I asked for a quad shot with extra ice and extra cream. If they want to charge for a little extra cream they should do so! Critiquing my beverage choice or being passive aggressive about it is no way to run a business. I explained that I had asked for extra ice and added an inch, to which she rolled her eyes and walked away. I'll be less likely to go to my usual location after today. If the barista was concerned about product inventory or profit they could have said "we charge for extra cream so just let us know next time" - then she would have found out that is what I had ordered and take the time to train the employee that didn't charge me instead of taking out her bad morning on me. read more

Uhhhhh where's Christina???? I had the WORST service today.... Like who are these random people who are clearly not very well trained..... and can we bring back the tapatío???? Hands down the best barista and now she's gone. :( read more

Our first time at Diva Espresso, super impressed. Coffee was great and selection of baked desserts was amazing. Friendly atmosphere and very accessible and staff was super nice. Thank You. read more

I will never spend my money at Diva Expresso ever again and am appalled by their lack of compassion. This morning I went to Diva Expresso and a woman who was obviously homeless walked into the cafe and asked for a black coffee. Instead of charging her for the coffee or simply giving it to her because the woman was obviously suffering, the worker almost instinctively looked the woman in the eye, and said, "you have to have shoes to be in here. Go get your shoes." The woman who didn't have shoes and obviously didn't have any hidden begged the worker several times for a coffee. From this point the situation escalated and the woman began taking food, and I in no way blame this woman because she is hungry and powerless, and this worker is denying her humanity without an ounce of remorse. Eventually, two cops walk in and following the escort of the homeless woman, the worker goes on to feel sorry for herself, claiming that she is the victim in this situation. I believe that if this worker had treated the woman with the same respect as she would a middle class citizen then the situation would've ended much better. And to the cop who told me not to give her my Breakfest Burrito because I might encourage her. Withholding food is not a punishment and attempting to punish a hungry person by withholding food is cruel. read more

Ok, so I've been visiting this coffee shop for quite some time now and the atmosphere is always positive and friendly! Specifically, today the staff are exceptional and I was thinking to myself that I hope the owner of the business recognizes these three employees for delivering excellent customer service with a smile. The team here knows their customers and work very hard. I also think the everything bagel I had was the absolute best bagel I've ever tasted, and the coffee, well, I'd say it's the best in Seattle. Highly recommend. read more

Honestly, the best chai latte with oak milk I've ever had. Why? Nice spice to the chai and the oat milk was perfectly foamed. Nice selection of pastries and a very pleasant seating area. Fun to sit by the window and watch the the world go by. read more

As many people have stated this is a busy place, but they make sure that your items are hot, fresh, ready and correct when you get them. The manager and staff members are all very friendly, get to know you and willing to do whatever they can to make sure the consumer is satisfied. They offer a very wide range of items and they really do have service with a smile. The staff is kind & also compassionate, and that type of engagement that makes a person want to keep coming back. When/If an issue arises (Which is rare) The manager Christina is very quick about addressing whatever it may be and very good at finding a resolution. The entire staff knows how to brighten up the days of the many people that come through there each day. read more

Very good service in early civid-19 years. One of their staff made wonderful mango smoothies.

most of the staff here are super nice, but when it comes to coffee they need a LOT of training. No one seems to know how to make any drinks correctly (they put all the ingredients in there, but espresso and frothed milks are always done really poorly). When you don't know what's good quality control is impossible. They have been terrible for years, and really need some training on how to make coffee, and maybe some staff that cares about good coffee, a least just a little bit. read more

I haven't gotten the coffee here yet, but the tea, italian soda and pastries are delicious.

Will definitely be returning again. read more

Diva Espresso next to Harborview was a haven for me while a family member was in the ICU from an accident during the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April 2020. The cappuccinos were perfect every time, service was friendly and quick - and it was easy to bring extra drinks to some of the nursing staff in the hospital. The baked goods were delish - and really provided that extra bit of comfort and food enjoyment during a really difficult time. Cheers to the staff, management and those on the front lines making us coffee to get through the extra hard times. read more

I have never been so impressed with an espresso joint in Seattle!!! Not only is my coffee order always done right. My drink is always great. It isn't your watered down Starbucks, or overroasted beans like I see too often in Seattle. It is quality espresso. More importantly the group of baristas that work there are friendly efficient and know what the heck they are doing. They work great as a team and make the whole experience complete. The manager works hard to keep this amazing shop running smoothly. I would also like to add that they treat everyone like they are the only one there. Which I imagine is hard to do, due to the busy location. Thank you Diva espresso for making every work day a better day read more

Diva has great coffee, staff, and environment. Christina the manager is friendly and fun. The seasonal decorations are creative and they always have a fun daily question or fact to think about :) thanks for being a great start to my day read more

This place is a godsend for the staff of Harborview. The drinks are well crafted, thoughtful and rotate seasonally. The pastries are delicious. But it really is Christina that makes Diva what it is. She remembers everyone's name and drink of choice. She's a master multitasker, moving patrons through with ease. She sets aside your favorite pastry for you in the morning and she makes a gingerbread latte that is so good I will come in from Bellevue on my day off for. read more
