    Valentina's is a little jewel of a coffee shop with very special coffee options featuring Mexican chocolate and spices from all over! The atmosphere is sparkling with chandeliers and is quiet enough to socialize or work, flower arrangements on each table, and even the restroom is fire!(go... and you will understand)...check them out!

    Love the vibe in here! All the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling make it so cool. Even the bathrooms are pretty and I regret not having my phone with me in the bathroom to snap some pics. Didn't have any food while here because we stopped in before the farmers market but everything looked good.

    Mocha (orange)

    What a cute gem! The interior is elegant and has beautiful high and low tables. Drinks are also classics but also some with a twist! I love that they offer their drinks in 4 oz as well. Matcha: strawberries were like jam, but slightly tart. This is pretty great considering it's not actually strawberry season. Kind of reminded me of the sweetness of a freeze dried strawberry. It was a bit creamier than I expected, but not in a bad way. I felt like I was drinking strawberry matcha clouds. Mocha with orange: this was fun! The slight citrus zing gave it a more refreshing taste than your usual coffee. Would get again and would also like to try the other fun flavors. Saw some people doing work, saw some people catching up with others. Barista was kind and seemed to be the only one working. However, she didn't rush me to order and was communicative about needing some time before taking my order because she was working on somebody else's drink. I appreciated that!

    First, the barista was friendly and helpful. She not only helped me make a very difficult decision, but also gave us ideas for what to do around Seattle. Valentina's menu has some incredibly delicious sounding options making it very challenging to not walk away with 14 drinks. The specialties drink menu is fire -fresas con crema matcha, Tulum latte, Catalan latte, mazapan latte.... What's a girl to-do?? Even a flight option! Unfortunately, the flight cannot be customized as this would have solved some of my decision making troubles. Eventually I settled on the Valencia mocha and got the strawberry concha. To start with, the concha game in the Pacific NW is unbelievable. This concha was soft and chewy with just a hint of vanilla on the lightly sweetened bread. The burst of fresh strawberries was a delightful addition to the pastry. I could smell the orange oils in the Valencia mocha as I walked my coffee to the table. It was vibrant and exciting! I couldn't wait to get into it and it was worth every penny. It reminded me of the holidays with chocolate covered oranges. It was so good-rich dark chocolate with the essence of orange. Highly recommend!

    We randomly stumble upon this coffee shop and I'm so glad we did! I remember walking in and thinking how cute it was but I couldn't locate a menu. It turns out their menu was on the counter, which caused (what I felt) me to hold up the line trying to figure out what I wanted to order. By the time we arrived, it was later in the day so understandably they were low on pastry options. I ended up choosing a couple and was not disappointed. The vibes in the cafe were tranquil and cozy. I haven't been back to Seattle but when I go back, I am going to make sure I stop by! I quickly picked up on the fact that it's most likely a family owned business because I saw small children running around behind the counter. I wouldn't say it bothered me but it was something I noticed.

    A beautiful little Cafe right next door to Olympic athletic club. They have some great big goods and other food options and a bunch of Mexican specialty coffees. Their drinks were fantastic and a little different than what I've been able to find from other coffee areas, so I'll definitely be back again. The cafe itself has some really interesting decor and is a great place to sit down and get some work done or catch up with friends. It's one of the few coffee spots open until later in the day as well, so it's definitely going to be a regular spot for me. Service was super fast and friendly and they have water out if you're going to be there for a longer period of time

    Very good Mexican Specialty coffee shop! Went on a weekday afternoon and was very calming and quiet for studying. Plenty of tables and variety in seating. Gorgeous design details everywhere and staff is friendly. I just got the Valentina's Latte so very simple and can't rate the menu too much yet but great study or work space all the way.

    Mazapan Latte
    Tyler T.

    Every time I visit Seattle, I have way too many Mazapan lattes. It's SO delicious. In my opinion, one of my favorite cups of coffee in Seattle, I know there are so many to choose from, but this shop has a great vibe, unique menu, and friendly staff. Always a must visit for me :)

    Habanero Mocha
    Michelle C.

    A wonderful remote work spot or a spot to chat. It's so cozy and the art is so whimsical in here. All there drinks are such awesome flavor combos that kinda never fail. I've tried the orange one and spicy one. The coconut one is pretty damn good as well. brilliant late art. Top it off with a pastry and it's a perfect cozy cafe day. Definitely a top Seattle cafe for me.

    I needed a place to meet a friend before dinner in Ballard that stayed open a little later and discovered this and it was super cute and spacious. I ordered the mazapan latte in 8 oz and it was so delicious I regretted not ordering a bigger cup! Barista was very nice too.

    First of all this place is absolutely adorable and let me enjoy my coffee with my pup (love!) Plenty of seating, super friendly staff and absolutely delicious mochas. More gritty chocolate, so good! Had the habanero mocha and can't recommend it enough

    Condensed Milk Latte & Apricot Danish

    I love their rich coffees, luxe decor, and delicious baked goods at Valentina's Mexican Cafè that's located at the old Caffe Fiore in Old Ballard. Their Lotus Biscoff Basque Cheesecake is creamy, decadent, and is perfectly not too sweet. The same goes for their Condensed Milk Coffee that sounds like it would taste super sweet, but it's not... It's so good!!! Check them out when in the area.

    My favorite Seattle coffee shop! As a Mexican American, it was so fun to stumble upon this Mexican coffee shop in Seattle. I had a latte with Mexican caramel and it was delicious. I do wish the caramel was mixed with the espresso a bit more before adding the ice and milk, but it was still tasty. The decor was my favorite part. It is a truly beautiful shop that had plenty of space to feel comfortable in. My friend and I read our books for a little in one of the nice booths and it was the perfect place to do that. The servers were also very kind and speedy.

I tried the fall seasonal Medici mocha with an apple cinnamon pull apart and my husband tried the cortado and a latte. The quality is great and it's one of those places that doesn't make overly sweet drinks so if you like a mocha that is very coffee forward in flavor, this is a great option. They also have vegan friendly breakfast pastries and burritos so you can accommodate multiple people of varying diets. Baristas are friendly and make conversation while you wait, even when it's a little busy. It has a few tables and the typical noise of a cafe, so feel free to if into their WiFi if you want to work from somewhere other than home if that's your style. Overall great experience and I think the seasonal specials are worth a trip if you're looking for a little more fun!

And a shoutout to the server for toasting my scone. It came out warm, not dry, not too cheesy, just how I like it. Matcha latte w/ almond milk was alright, knowing this can't be compared to what I can get at tea cafes. I love how they make this place green w/ all sorts of indoor plants. Plants do light up the area and mood given that Seattle can be so gloomy around this time. Def coming back if I'm in the area again.

It almost feels like they're in the middle of a move-out. Even the seating was reduced to tiny little stools. Our coffee was also incredibly disappointing. My partner and I both got hot Sesame latte's and when we got them the cups were only filled up maybe 3/4 of the way! Not to mention barely ANY sesame foam. And to add to all of that, the workers kept playing the same song repeatedly with horrible language and laughing about it every time it restarted. I don't mind if a cafe plays a few songs with the occasional bad word, but this was like a parody song of the "f-word." Not a great look guys.
