Exploring cafes is totally my thing and we found a great one in Alpharetta! We loved everything about this cafe. The interior was adorable but what impressed us the most was their approach to coffee. We had no idea there were so many different ways to process coffee beans so we ended up looking them up while enjoying our drinks. Once we learned more about them, we were so intrigued that we actually ordered some coffee online afterward! It was easy to see why this cafe is so popular. The line kept getting longer and longer the entire time we were there. It's a fairly small cafe so seating was pretty limited as well. I ordered the Latte with Caramel Cardamom and it was delicious! My husband got the Coffee Shot of Chamomile Pink Bourbon from their "Coffee Nerd Drinks" menu. He was especially interested in it because of the brewing method. I'm usually not a black coffee drinker but I tried a sip and was surprised by how much I liked it. There were still so many drinks we wanted to try but since this was only a weekend trip, we didn't have enough time. We'll definitely be visiting again the next time we're in the area! read more

I rarely get up to Alpharetta and when I was I had to know if they played lived up to the hype. It certainly does! I usually get a vanilla latte as my litmus test but I just had to try the girls breakfast. Which was fabulous. The cinny cold foam was A+. Also the baristas were very friendly! I'm only sad that I probably won't be up in the area for a long time but if I do come up there I will def be shopping by again. read more

Excellent customer service, they use your name when speaking to you and do attempt to chat (so it is not too transactional). The space is quite small inside and this place is popular in downtown Alpharetta. They have some cute drink ideas. I went with a boring decaf latte and it was good, but I wished they had simple syrup for me to add myself. Parking available in parking garage nearby. read more

Valor Coffee - Chai Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Valor Coffee is a great little coffee spot in Downtown Alpharetta. The location of this shop is off of Milton Ave, around the corner from all the hustle and bustle of true Downtown Alpharetta - especially on Farmers Market days. The interior is the bottom level of a Thrive | Co-Working space. It is clean and sleek and offers a decent amount of interior and exterior seating. When this place gets busy, it can definitely interfere with the interior seating due to people standing in line. The exterior is dog-friendly. The coffee is awesome, and they offer seasonal specialty options and flavors which is nice. While they don't offer full breakfast options, they do offer small bites that are quite good. read more

Valor Coffee - Iced Chai and Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

First and foremost, EVERYONE WORKING HERE IS AN ABSOLUTE TREAT! They are so nice! They are all smiles and have actual conversations with you, which I appreciate. Second, their coffee is top notch. They gave me a sample of the popular nitro lavender oat milk latte, and wowie. It was perfectly balanced with flavors. A little sweet, creamy, and you can taste the smooth coffee. I ended up getting a nitro with the caramel cardamom flavor. I honestly couldn't taste the flavor at all. I'm not sure if they even put it in there, but the nitro by itself is very good. It's not too acidic. It's perfectly balanced and bright. It really can be enjoyed black, but as a girlie who loves a slightly sweet treat, I ended up asking for a splash of the caramel cardamom and I'm glad I did. It is my new favorite flavor. I love this cute, kitschy spot. Come prepped to wait. There was a solid 10+ person line. It moves pretty quickly though, and it's definitely worth it. read more

Valor Coffee - They have pastries, boxes of coffee, and merch too! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Umm, the line out the door on a Sunday raised by expectations which were then lowered once I received my beverages. I had to request more espresso in my latte, otherwise, it was tasteless. Hubby's coffee was weak too. Friendly staff, like the outdoor seating so our pups could sit with us. Seriously, the winners were the French pastries that they are selling. Kouigan -amann are my all time favorite and one of the few temptations for me to indulge in something so rich and full of butter! These were delicious as were the croissants. It seems that a wholesale only bakery provides them . I sure wish that bakery would open to the public!! read more

The baristas are great, and the line is often out the door. While my drinks haven't always been consistent, I really love the energy and atmosphere of this place. It's a great spot to study, though finding a seat inside can be tough. Thankfully, there's plenty of outdoor seating. Overall, it's a fun place to grab a cup of coffee with friends. read more

Super cute coffee shop in downtown Alpharetta! I visited here with my boyfriend to grab a quick coffee while we were waiting for a brunch reservation nearby. Valor isn't super big, but it was definitely a popular place with lots of people studying or hanging out. Service was quick and they had a lot of options. I got a hot chocolate while my boyfriend got a cortado. The hot chocolate was so rich and yummy and my boyfriend liked his cortado a lot as well. I can't wait to go back and try some of their pastries next time! read more

I have tried valor's beans before but never went into the shop myself until today. The shop was so cute and it was Valentine's Day themed with a vday menu. The coffee here is super good. I ordered a latte and a drip coffee and it was really great and floral. The staff here are all so cute and nice, the service was fast despite it being super busy! Overall, my favorite coffee shop so far in Alpharetta. read more

Valor Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Valor is all around 5 stars! The aesthetic is so cute and lively. They usually decorate the place during any holiday and have seasonal drinks accordingly. This location has a disco ball in the middle-- what a vibe! Though it seems small inside, I think it can seat ~23 people. This location is located in downtown Alpharetta, so I grabbed my coffee and walked around to enjoy. Every time I visit Valor coffee shops, the staff has always been so friendly and personable. My short 2-minute interactions make me feel like I've known them for years. The drinks are always solid. I usually order a Caramel Cardamom Latte, which is a little sweet and earthy. I've also tried the Vanilla Lavender Latte, which I think was sweet and did not have an overpowering lavender taste. All of the pastries looked delicious! Very tempting, but I had to save my appetite for lunch with a friend. I regretted it, so I will try a pastry next time I visit :) read more

I feel bad leaving a two-star review, but Yelp's descriptor for two stars is "Could've been better" and that was my experience. I came here because I really wanted a good latte. I am staying at the Hamilton across the street, and although they have Illy Espresso machines in the rooms (amazing!) I wanted more. I saw that Valor is highly rated on Yelp, so although the pics show a really brightly lit and decorated coffee shop, which doesn't really scream "coffee heaven" to me, I gave it a shot. Sadly, my latte was somewhat weak, had a nutty flavour that I don't particularly like (I know some people do, so maybe it's a local preference), and most of all, lukewarm. My veggie croissant on the other hand was amazing. Fluffy and flaky, with a big sprig of broccoli inside, that met expectations. read more

The cutest coffee shop right smack in the middle of downtown Alpharetta (and conveniently next to Thrive Coworking). I love this place so much! The energy every single employee brings to this tiny little haven goes unmatched. Every one is so lovely and inviting, and the coffee and matcha is also top quality. They always decorate for the different seasons, and also offer seasonal syrups and specialty menus. Seating is limited inside, but there is plenty of outdoor seating on a nice day. I frequent this place weekly, and don't plan on changing that any time soon! read more

JOEY was the Crème de la crème of my visit. This was my first time at this location and he was absolutely wonderful. I happened to be in the area and had not been to Valor since they moved. It's been many years ago. I was able to find a decent parking spot just steps from Valor. Upon entering the shop to the right is a sitting area with a few tables and a bar along the wall. I also saw seating outside to the right of the entrance. To the left is the counter for ordering, pastries, the menu above and retail items. The iPad at the counter where you order that is used to show the "currently brewing" is a great idea. I ordered a cappuccino and an iced caramel cardamom latte. When I asked about the pastries Joey told me the one I was asking about was a zucchini cheese croissant. The croissant was delicious as was the coffee. It made me wonder who bakes their pastries. I chose the Summer Blend (50% Ethiopia and 50% Kenya) in my drinks. Perfect choice for the cappuccino. read more

Adorable, inviting, and delicious! What more could you ask for in a coffee shop experience? The barista who took our order was super kind and friendly.

This has been one of my favorite coffee shops to go to recently due to their variety and quality of drinks. I love that they offer a number of non-coffee drinks, including drinks made with matcha and hojicha. The espresso used in their coffee drinks is excellent, with rich and nuanced flavor that you just can't find at Starbucks. The staff is incredibly friendly. They have gone out of their way to learn my name and ensure that my drinks are made right every time. The only reason I take a star off is for the food. I love the chicken salad croissant, but just about every other pastry I've had here has been overbaked and dry, which is a shame because they offer pastries in unique flavors that I'd otherwise love. read more

Valor Coffee - Chai lattes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

This cafe highlights the small town downtown area which had some street closures for an event when I visited. People were nonetheless crowded into this cafe, and I don't struggle to see why. An intriguing beverage selection included an option for matcha with rose flavored soda. Their savory pastry wasn't for me, but a chocolate banana bread definitely was. There were plenty of other worthy choices, and I was in and out with reasonable speed despite the other who stayed to work. read more

Quaint spot. Great folks. I needed something that was NOT Starbucks and Yelpers said this was the way to go, and boy were they correct! It's located in a really cute area with street only parking. The place is really quaint and it was pretty packed, so it required a wait in the outdoor cold for a few moments. Once inside, the magic happened! I had the most friendly service ever. Everyone was so cheerful and just happy to help. The decor, the people, the drink options just made you feel full of holiday cheer! I didn't get to try any of the food, but the cardamon syrup was dreaming in my chai latte. I'd 10/10 recommend checking this spot out. It's probably super awesome n a nice weather day! read more

I was only in Alpharetta for a weekend, but anytime I go anywhere out of town I have to visit a good, local coffee shop. This is a non-negotiable. I came across Valor Coffee while searching and thought it looked cute so I decided to give it a shot. I'll be honest, I've been to many coffee shops that leave me a little disappointed but Valor is not one of those. When you walk in, you're instantly drawn to the cute aesthetic of the place. It is small, but they have a few tables, as well as fresh flowers on each, AND a disco ball on the ceiling. What's not to like? I was getting my coffee to go, but I did notice that those dining in had glass cups and ceramic coffee mugs. Not only is that great for the planet but also adds to the vibe. Ordering was such a great experienced. We asked a few questions before deciding on what we wanted and were received wonderful customer service. When the guy taking our order realized were weren't from the area, we were met with a nice convo about our travels and where we were all from, and vice versa. It was a nice change from some other coffee shops that just want to get you in and out. I ended up going with an iced vanilla lavender latte with oat milk. I loveee lavender so I was excited to see it on the menu and of course it was delicious. My only suggestion is to maybe add a sugar free option or two. I don't live nearby so I probably won't be back for a while, but I usually go for sugar free if it's offered. Either way, I would recommend stopping by Valor Coffee if you're ever in the area. read more

Visited on a Sunday @10:30am. Compared to the Dunwoody location, this location is much smaller. It's in downtown Alpharetta and surrounded by other great food options. The latte and the assortment of baked goods we ordered were great--not dried out at all! Unfortunately, they'd didn't have coconut milk as an option so my husband opted for SBs coffee. They did have oat and almond milk available as dairy substitutes. The service was warm and inviting. The music consists of soft rock and perfect background volume. Plenty of outdoor seating. Will def be back. read more

I do not understand the hype of this place!? Waited for half an hour in a crowded not so clean shop. When we FINALLY got our overpriced drinks they were HALF WAY FULL and that's halfway full of the equivalent of half a tall at Starbucks! Like a literal shot of expresso. On top of being absolutely ridiculously overpriced for the amount ($12.00) BOTH drinks were DISGUSTING and tasted like cat pee and the packaging is absolutely CHEAP and AWFUL so it broke open and spilled all over my brand new shirt and jeans. I'm livid right now! read more

This place is in a great spot with tons of shops near by, but be prepared to walk and look for parking if it is a weekend. I am so happy I found it as I do hope to go back another time I am in Alpharetta. Let's talk about vibe. First off the baristas were so nice! They let me try their matcha drink on tap, talked to me about their espresso machine (which is actually super neat and I hope to learn more about/maybe get to use one day). As for the inside, they don't have a lot of space for standing in a line, but they do have a great open space for the main espresso bar, and large seating area. The only issue we had with inside, was there was some funky smell that we could not figure out, and it didn't make us want to stay; even though the inside is inviting and a great color scheme. As for the coffee itself it was a really nicely done cortado, good enough for me to go back, as long as it isn't out of my way, even if the funky smell isn't quite gone next time. I do hope to try one of their specialty lattes when I force my boyfriend to come with me (since I don't like getting sweet drinks but he will). I think this place has a lot of potential and could be a great place to remote work. It overall has a great vibe, and cute merchandise/branding so it's worth a visit. read more

A really cool spot with the best staff!! ***LOCATION*** Came here the other day and parked pretty far away since the downtown area was crowded, but it was nice and I wanted to walk a bit. I didn't really pay attention to see if there were free spots right out front, but the whole area is pretty crowded in general so I would count on walking maybe 5 minutes if you want a free spot at least. But it is right by so many other restaurants and shops, so super nice area to walk around, with a really cool park and fountain just down the street. ***EXPERIENCE*** Amazing! As soon as you walk in you're greeted. The staff is so nice! They're all young and have a really cool vibe. When I went to the restroom I saw a sign that they have a podcast. It looks like the staff were the owners if I am not mistaken, based on the podcast photo. Super cool if they are! They were all really awesome! I ordered a green tea with honey and it was a hot day. I hadn't even thought about getting it Iced, because I didn't really think that was a thing with honey. They asked hot or iced and I was like oh it can be iced with honey? And they said yeah for sure! So I really appreciated them asking. I thoroughly enjoyed my iced tea :) I sat down and they brought the tea out to me and gave me the wifi password. I didn't even have to ask. They are just very attentive and overall just great service! ***FOOD*** Didn't try anything this time other than my tea but they had some pastries that looked good! ***BATHROOM*** Gender neutral and cool vibe inside haha we love a fun bathroom. Also love the attention to detail with the feminine hygiene products available for those that may need. ***CONCLUSION*** Overall great spot with plenty of seats and outlets for working. Friendly staff that will make you feel instantly welcomed and great tea! Will definitely be back! read more

Valor = great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle, according to the dictionary. Although you won't face any danger from Valor coffee, you may receive a little courage from their coffee and matcha lattes.

She is very genuine and even welcomed us as first time guests with a "Valor 1st timer" sticker.
