Hang out at the Hangar & chat up the Kenmore community. Always a great landing when you need a cuppa, but you may be left with whatever the other sweet toothed divas declined if you arrive after lunch. Pastries go fast! The coffee was so delicious I had to try the mocha too!

The coffee here is so, so great. Delicious without the pretentiousness of your typical Seattle shop. Staff is over-the-top friendly and helpful. I came in a little embarrassed about my necessary specifications, and they were not only accommodating, but actively offered suggestions about what would work best with my drink order. End result was delicious, creamy and smooth (which I havent found at other coffee shops) while still providing a strong hit of espresso.Would 100% recommend to others with dietary restrictions. Diva rocks!

Great atmosphere, good coffee. Nice place to set up shop and work if youre sick of being stuck working at home. Tables are nice and big and there are plenty of outlets all around.

Mix of quality service - cashier was great; barista seemed annoyed at the presence of customers. The 20oz latte I ordered came out as a 16oz. When asking about it, the barista huffed they could add more milk but wouldn’t add the extra shot of espresso. Taking the 16oz that came out, it was easily the worst latte I’ve had. Barley lukewarm, and the faintest note of a burnt roast. Starbucks should be considered gourmet relative to Diva - and you should consider the green mermaid before this shop.

The staff were friendly. The space is beautiful. The ham and cheese croissant was good. They have a meeting room for the community. The city owns the building so they are able to do that. It was a great visit. There is a fireplace and comfortable seatings at the entrance.

Great public hangout space at The Hanger. Espresso quality is consistently good.

They have creative drinks and delicious cookies. As far as the espresso goes though, the shots are inconsistent. I had watery, underextracted shots one time I went here. Then today, I have over extracted, burned-tasting bitter shots. So either theyre not dialing in the espresso throughout the day as the temperature and humidity change, or some of the baristas havent been trained to properly taste espresso. This place could be great; just figure out how to pull a good shot. Are the beans too new or too old? Is your grind too fine or too coarse? Did you add too many or too few grams of espresso to your portafilter? Did you tamp it too much or not enough? Did you whack the side of the portafilter with your tamper, causing cracks in your puck that would cause a bad shot? Are you regularly cleaning your group heads and portafilters? Do you clean the oils out of your grinder hoppers? I have faith in you, Diva, to get it together.

Clean and stylish interior. Currently closed inside eating area due to COVID. They are provided some free cloth masks (limited time?). They have a rewards that you can load up with funds to use. You get a 10% bonus if you load at least $20 worth. Good bakery treats too.

Best baristas north of the lake. Solid selection of sweet and savory pastries, fruits, yogurt, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Limited outdoor seating in an open space, much of which is covered. I find Divas Highland Roasting Co coffee strikes a fine balance of potency and grace.

Review №16

We just recently discovered this place and loved it. Diva Espresso is located in the Hangar, a community gathering space by City of Kenmore. There are two meeting rooms there that can be revesered for free of charge. So, it is convenient for both quick bites and longer stays (such as business meetings and remote work).They have plenty of drink and good amount of baked goods options.During my last two visits, there were Diva Trivias, which I answered both correctly and got discount on my drink ;) Hoping to be luck again during my next visit :)There was a soft live music during my last visit. Not sure whether that happens all time but it was very nice.

Review №17

It may seem like a okay place to get coffee. But go more than once. Very inconsistent, not worth the price, and some of the bariatas are not very good to put it lightly. (especially on Sunday). Ive tried all of the coffee around Kenmore, the more I try others the worse Diva is. Nice building, but that doesnt make up for expensive sub par coffee.

This coffee shop is great! They have a little splash park out front and its located inside a shared Community Building. Theres a box of childrens toys nice comfy chairs next to a fireplace and even a conference room to have meetings. The employees are always nice and the coffee is great.

My favorite coffee shop.Their Americano is delicious, breakfast sandwiches excellent, staff friendly, and space actually spacious.When we moved to Kenmore from Ballard, I was initially a bit sad that we were moving away from such a delightful glut of coffee shops. What I didnt know was that I would love Diva more than any of them. Seriously my favorite Americano ever.We also buy their beans for home brewing.Love this place.

I enjoyed the mocha there. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I was there to study and it was cozy. Some tables were not near sockets to plug up my laptop but most are. Then there are some high top seating with more outlets. I have a lot of books and stuff so I need a table to spread out. I get a bunch of work down here. Staff is always super friendly also.

Review №23

The best space that Kenmore has added in recent years. The staff here is a great group and always very friendly, the coffee is equally as great. The coffee shop is accompanied by free public space that anybody can use for relaxing, meetings, study groups, etc. Theres also a great space outside with a fountain which makes it a perfect summer afternoon spot for families.

Really friendly staff. Great selection of drinks and sweets. Also has beer/wine/cider. Not too noisy - a lot of room with tables to spread out. Wish they had more lounge chairs. Free wifi through city of Kenmore.

Very elegant interior. Very cozy seating arrangement. Very nice coffee. We went to this place in a rainy day in winter and it looked beautiful at that time as well. I bet that in summer this is the most happening place around this area. With fountains for children and open seating space. This place just became my favourite coffee house in Kenmore.

One of the greatest caramel lattes Ive ever had. Im in town visiting for Thanksgiving and Ive gone every day since I got here. Delicious drinks and their egg omelet sandwiches are great too. Very good selection of baked goods as well. I will be a regular here when I move into the area.

Lovely shop! My coffee was smooth and SO CREAMY. Foam like a silky little cloud. Staff was very friendly and helpful with deciding between which alternative milk would work best in my cappuccino. Also a really nice selection of vegan pastries and even a few vegan lunch options, which has been hard to find in this area. The space is airy and bright (perhaps a bit too bright in some spots, but Im not one to complain about sunshine), they were rocking some fun 80s jams, and Ill definitely be back. Apparently theres even a fun little water feature out front for kids to play in during the warmer months! Really nice addition to the community.

What a great addition to Kenmore! The iced coffee was delicious. I wasnt sure what to order so the manager (who was making coffee) gave me a sample of their drip. Great service. My kids liked the maple bar (donuts from a local bakery delivered daily). There were a number of vegan baked goods I noticed in a separate case too. Lots of good choices and good coffee.

Nice, clean, and padded bike rack right out front on the sidewalk. Clean, modern, specious building (shared with the city?) With the big doors facing the fountains open, lots of fresh air comes through.The staff is always friendly and tries hard, despite being bombarded by sudden lines often. Coffee is on brand, which means their iced drinks are my favorites.Location is just over a block from the bike trail, making this a nice spot for a break.

Review №41

This is a nice coffee place, the only problem is government is involved with it and the government over spray has a detrimental effect on the success of the business. For example, if you want to reserve a meeting room you have to go online and can book 72 hours into the future...fine. If you want to book today and the the room is wide open the Diva staff doesnt know what to do. When you call the Diva number you get city hall and that person doesnt know what to do but refer you to the website. Whatever the relationship is with city hall it is not working...you go out of business one customer at a time.

This has quickly become my favorite spot to come to. It’s open and spacious. I never have trouble finding a table. They have great food options and the coffee is fantastic. I highly recommend their Mexico blend. The coffee shop is located within the Hangar and city center space for Kenmore. The space is a great space for the community and it’s fun to watch people come in for tutoring, meetings, tutoring, guitar lessons, etc. Although they have a lot going on it does not feel busy or cramped just a nice, peaceful spot for community gathering.

Great coffee, fantastic space indoor and outdoor, excellent and large sandwiches. Also have desserts, cookies, scones, coffee cakes Etc. with free parking.outside a huge area that kids can run around with tables and chairs covered and not covered and fountains, lots of green and flowers. Inside a big place with tables and chairs and big screen TV and fireplace. Plenty of space to also take your laptop and quietly sit for a whileFor bikes does a bike station including the pump and ability to put your bike on it and repair it if needed.

Review №47

The brewed coffee is too bitter! Like, inexplicably, crazy-levels bitter. My dad and I are used to enjoying our coffee black and we cannot stand it. I recommend avoiding the coffee and getting tea instead, their matcha latte is really good, especially with almond milk. The coffee shop itself and the Hangar adjacent are great for hanging out, relaxing, and getting some work done on your computer.

Great new cafe & lounge area in Kenmore. Diva Espresso inside has nibbles and coffee. Large open space (The Otter Room) with 4 large tables, a few lounge chairs and a fireplace make it cozy. Semi-private meeting room called The Beaver Room . Both are available to rent out for free.

Diva Espresso is a great little coffee shop in the heart of Kenmore. This location is very new, but there is at least one other Diva Espresso location in Seattle.They serve coffee, wine, and beer, and the venue is cozy and convenient. There are several meeting spaces you can reserve from the city of Kenmore, too, which could be really great if you want to have a Meetup or just need a space for an event youre hosting.

I wish i could gove this place a 4.5. Its a large beautiful open space with high ceilings. The crossaint was pretty good and the coffe was excellent but it was not quite as strong as i prefer. (Perhaps a bit too much cream) but i think I might just be a bit too particular. Anyhow i would definitely recommend and i plan on coming back!Edit: I changed it to 5 stars because the restrooms were very clean
