Valor Coffee

Valor Coffee is an awesome spot with great coffee and an even better vibe. The quality of the drinks is top-notch, and the atmosphere makes it a perfect place to relax or get some work done. Paul was especially helpful, super friendly, knowledgeable, and great to deal with. You can tell he really cares about the experience and the customers. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Alpharetta. I’ll definitely be back.

Exceptional! Great staff, full of smiles, and the place was packed. We had to stand at the counter to have our coffee and they were so sweet telling us to make ourselves at home! The muffin was out of this world! The cute cube for our order number is a very cute and different way to label! Love it!!

I’d been hearing a lot about this new coffee spot near downtown Alpharetta—and it truly lived up to the hype. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great selection of coffee, teas, and sweet treats that had something for everyone.

Do not visit any other coffee shop before experiencing Valor coffee! - unique, seasonal beverages that change frequently and you will NOT find elsewhere -the friendliest, most helpful staff. If you get coffee-menu intimidation, fear not! They were able to quickly recommend something for me and I love my latte. - beautiful and bright little shop, lots of people working on laptops and a great atmosphere - there is a FREE parking garage by walking three minutes away, plus spots out front if you’re lucky

Very nice coffee house. I usually get their drip decaf. On occasion, I'll have a regular coffee. Either way, it's a great cup of coffee. I've tried the veggie/cheese croissant and the egg, ham, and cheese croissant. Both are great. They have a few other food items, including a scone. I'd recommend trying this coffee house next time you're in the fine small city of Alpharetta.

It’s a small coffee place on a busy street. A bit crowded when I’ve arrived but the service was quick. The coffee is great, and they have a lot of options to choose from. Loved their veggie croissant it was crispy and freshly made. Street parking nearby was full, so finding a spot was a bit difficult.

The fig latte was amazing as well as their seasonal scone. Also, Sam was so dang personable and intentional that it turned my day around just ordering coffee and visiting for a bit. Great little coffee shop!

This coffee shop checks all the boxes for a perfect coffee shop. The coffee options are limitless and the coffee is scrumptious. The food options are great, especially the kimchee croissant! The seating options are great as well, it’s beautiful to sit outside when it’s nice weather. This coffee shop is worth a visit if you’re around town.

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.

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.

This cute little coffee shop was buzzing with people when I walked in for a pick-me-up, which was a great sign! The barista was friendly and the shop itself was clean and inviting. I ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and a shot of lavender vanilla. It was absolutely delicious! The only downside was that it wasn't quite hot enough. Despite the temperature, I'll definitely be back for another try. They clearly know how to craft a delicious drink!

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!

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!

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.

Everything about this place is fabulous. Friendly staff, delicious drinks and pastry, and a fun environment with cute patio.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Cute place, great drink albeit expensive. The space is really open with the big windows! Wish I lived nearby to come and work there.

Great little spot. Music was very upbeat. Their menu is great, however, would love if they could offer sugar free syrups. Service was great, everyone was quick and helpful

Cute little coffee shop with options for pastries as well. Quick and friendly service with ample seating for such a small shop. Quiet and calm morning crowd. High quality matcha latte was ever so slightly sweet and earthy and chai latte was sweet and rich. Highly recommend stopping by here on the way to work.

Freaking delicious!! I hope they open 5 more locations around Alpharetta. Service with a smile, buzzing neighborhood coffee shop with yummy treats. I had the oat milk latte w/Caramel Cardamon Syrup YUM!

I've heard so many good things about valor and i finally had a chance to try it out. The baristas were so friendly and gave us samples of a drink we were interested in. The nitro oat lav was amazing when we sampled it but I ended up getting a caramel cardamom iced latte which was also delicious. We also got a matcha which wasn't sweet enough but was perfect once we added some simple syrup. There's lots of outdoor seating but it's pretty limited indoors since this is such a popular coffee spot. Loved this experience!!

I've been here multiple times and it's always packed and there's no seating. It can get pretty crowded as there's no space to wait for drinks/order so people crowd around the bar. The chai latte is pretty good but nothing else stood out. Lavender matcha latte was not it I barely tasted the lavender. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Stopped here for coffee and pastries before hitting the road for our long drive home. Everything was sooo good and the vibes were so cute it made me wish we had time to sit down and enjoy the space more. There is a disco ball hanging in the center of the room and now I think every coffee shop needs a disco ball! And fresh flowers...each table has a vase of fresh flowers on it. There were also various live green plants hanging around. We ordered cold brews on tap (with some milk added) after hearing the regular customer in front of us order the cold brew. We also got ham, egg, cheese and thyme croissants. YUM!!! My husband said it's the best pastry he's ever had and I have to agree. A bit pricey at $6 each but I would pay it again no questions asked. That's how good it was. It did take maybe 5 mins for them to heated up, but it was worth the wait. They also have lots of other croissant/pastry/muffin/mini flavored bread loaves/etc. options. If you're in Alpharetta, come here!!

Love, love, love. The best coffee shop I've been to in the Atlanta area since moving here 6 months ago. The staff is amazing. They introduce themselves by name, ask yours, and spend thoughtful time conversing while you order. Joey in particular is a national treasure. The friendly vibes are enough to visit, but their drinks and food are delicious as well! Win-win-win. Just a note: if you're sticking around, order your drink/food "for here," that way we can save the planet one single-use plastic cup at a time.

Love this place in Alpharetta. Absolutely an amazing place. The ambiance, atmosphere and music playing is incredible. Live this people and the place. Inside seating as well as outside seating. I don't drink coffee which is stupid but the hot chocolate is very good. A great place for meetings.

Absolutely the best coffee in the city! I came to Alpharetta for a week and crew in this cafe just saved my life by "coffeenating me" with an amazing coffee everyday! Absolutely must visit place!

I just love this place! I occasionally stop in for a hot chai when i'm out walking with my dog, or will sit with the laptop & work for a bit. They are always consistently so friendly. Several tasty-looking baked goods. I've yet to try the coffee. Love the atmosphere & location.

This place does not need my measly little review/opinions but watever. I'm gonna give it to em anyways bc the deserve all the praise I can muster in the next 6 minutes as I write this review. The service : always kind and energetic (prob from all that coffee coursin threw em ha! ) The shoppe : so hip ! And decorated cutely The coffee is rich and delish - I tried some of that lavender vanilla syrup - so good!!!! The prices !!! You would expect them to be through the roof at this little local shoppe in a nice area like Alpharetta - but no need to break the bank here!! At any other local place - hubby and I woulda paid 16+ for two lattes Here ? Cost us around $13 WITH tip and y'all better tip em bc they are doin awesome! Bye

Appealing location. Attractive esthetic. Alluring selection. Attentive service. They hit all the marks. Things you should know: I. PARKING Street parking is EVERYWHERE. Parallel and non-parallel. It's all FREE on Sundays and set with limited parking times on weekdays. II. SERVICE Friendlier than your average cafe ~ you'll catch the staff giving you authentic feedback and conversation. III. QUALITY I like my coffee dense and acidic ~ Valor Coffee didn't disappoint. If you want something less strong, peak at their milk & alternatives. Their menu is detailed. IV. CAPACITY Holy cow, I picked the worsttt time to camp out. Sunday at mid-morning is terribly crowded and it is nonstop for hours. Business is thriving.

Fantastic. Great coffee and great food. Super friendly staff too! Loved it. Visited on a Wednesday late morning, there was a wait/line, but it moved fairly quickly. I would wait again. excellent

This coffee shop is so cute! I had wanted to come in a long time, but don't usually go up to Alpharetta. I tacked this on to a trip to try BB's Bagels (previously reviewed). I ordered one of the matcha drinks and likely a croissant or other savory pastry. Everything I had was so good! I found a seat at the high table near the back of the shop, and was pretty productive. Valor doesn't get too loud. It was also nice to walk there from a downtown parking lot and walk back to my garage after my afternoon.

This spot is in a bit of a crowded area, but I have never had issues finding seating! The staff are probably some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Coffee is very good, love the lavender syrup and seasonal options! Great place to meet friends or study/do work!

Valor is always a great spot to visit. I have visited Georgia many times over the last couple years and one thing that always holds true is the amazing service you get at valor. They always start off with a friendly hello and welcoming conversation. The people working always take time to fill empty space with conversation and even get to know you a little if they have the time for it. They were all very nice and friendly. Not to mention the incredible baked good they have for sale. I really recommend the ham, egg, and cheese croissant. It is insanely good. They have fun drinks and good coffee as well. Especially if you enjoy lighter roasts, which is always served on the espresso. Consistency and friendliness is key here I don't think I've ever had a bad experience. Definitely a five-star experience. Thanks!

Very good quality coffee. Friendly and fast service. Nice indoor and outdoor seating for studying and working, though it is usually crowded and a little loud during the work week.

So cute. Friendly staff, nice ambiance. Good coffee. Cute mugs. Fast service. Going back next weekend!

Great coffee shop. I got the drip coffee and the blackened chicken salad croissant. Both were excellent. High quality coffee, and I really liked the fact that the 8 oz. dine in mug option comes with refills! It said one refill on the menu, but the cashier guy pretty much said you can get more if you want. And the croissant was super crispy. Very busy on a Friday morning, but worth it.

Overall: their banana bread is a must! This coffee shop is located in downtown Alpharetta. We went on a Monday right before 2/14 for the first time. There was a long line at 2:00pm, but it moved quickly. By the time it was our turn, even though there were many people behind us, we didn't feel rushed. The cashier was super friendly and helpful walking us through seasonal items. We ended up getting stickers and flowers. BTC (by the cup): we got the Ethiopian one. The aroma was bitter, but tasted smoothly. Cappuccino: This is not sweet, but milky and balanced with the amount of coffee. Banana Bread: This was the best banana bread I've ever had! It was crispy on the outside. The middle was also crispy due to the sprinkle of suger on the top. The inside has the mushy banana texture. There weren't much bread/flour texture, but it was very good. There were also chocolate chips inside. I don't think I can find this banana br re ad anywhere else.

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.

Maybe it was my fault for getting a matcha drink at a coffee place but I felt so disappointed by my drink here. Valor Coffee has everything else going for it though - the customer service is awesome, the seating area/interior decor is so cute and nice, they have environmentally friendly straws, and the location is a prime space (downtown Alpharetta). The prices are comparable to other coffee shops. My matcha latte had a very light matcha flavor (as if only a little bit of matcha was used) and wasn't memorable. I will have to give this place another try but get coffee and a pastry instead.

Such a cute coffee shop in downtown Alpharetta! I liked my iced latte!!! Service was great as well.

Coffee was terrible. To much extra stuff not enough coffee bean. Service was great though amazing staff. If it weren't for the staff it'd be getting a one star because that coffee was terrible. I got the "dark roast". Not a normal dark roast that's for sure. Waste of money for such a poor cup of coffee. Also not cheap for a 16 oz cup of coffee, coming in at a whopping 5 dollars.

I've never felt this way about a coffee shop before. I am not usually a coffee drinker, but the drinks at Valor are so exceptional that it has got me hooked. I tried the nitro oat lavender latte and it was crazy good, refreshing and creamy, pleasant like a Guinness. I'm not a fan of lavender flavors, but this was so subtle and worked with all the other flavors so well. It was so good that I came back 3x in a row during my trip to get it again. I also tried the seasonal Tokyo Drift cortado and that was lovely with hints of orange blossom. Loved the friendly folks who work there. Each person was attentive and helpful, made me feel welcome and easy to strike up a conversation with. A huge shout out to Beembie for going above and beyond, and also to Gavin for making my visit so wonderful. Highly recommend this spot. The ambiance is super cute and clean. I like sitting outside along the window with the pretty flowers.

This coffee shop is so darn cute!! Parking could be difficult but it's totally worth it! It was our first time coming here and we got some great recommendations. We even got a sticker stating "Valor 1st Timer" to wear. Everyone working here is super nice. I ordered the Iced Matcha Tea with almond milk and really enjoyed it! This place was packed even on a rainy day in December. In fact, the line was almost out the door. There's some seating inside but not a lot. My beverage was very tasty and I look forward to coming back again soon!

I was really impressed with the reviews here. After leaving the dealership to have my car looked at, I found this place on Yelp, since I was wanting a caffeine fix. I found a spot easily, but then it was a Tuesday morning in downtown Alpharetta, which is just such a charming area in itself. The cafe is cute and small, with some outdoor seating as well. I ordered the recommended lavender vanilla latte, which came with oat milk since I asked. It was good, not great. Prices are comparable to Starbucks. The service however was on point. The barista who gave me my latte did that extra step of asking how my day was going, which ended up being a full conversation with her. She came across so genuine and even travels quite a distance just to work there. She was truly the shining star of this cafe. I'm glad I checked it out!

The ambiance of the coffee shop was cute. There isn't much seating inside but they have large long green tables outside for when the weather is nice. I ordered a large matcha latte. It came in a skull mug which I thought was interesting. The overall taste was very good and I chugged the whole thing so quickly.

one of my favorite coffee shops in the Atlanta MSA! Love this coffee shop and the different techniques they have to make their coffee for bean lovers as well. The staff is always so kind and friendly. Location is very aesthetic .

Excellent customer service, latte quality, and quick service. Very loud here overall! Seems to be more of a hangout than a study spot. Worth the trip!

It's our first time here and we already can't wait to come back next time. The staffs are super friendly. We ordered a matcha latte and a iced lavender latte. The drinks are high quality and go so well with the veggies croissant. We would love to try the other pastries. Love this place. Highly recommended!

Didn't get a chance to try the coffee. The cashier was more interested in an extensive small talk conversation with another customer than she was in taking my order. I'd love to give it another shot at some point, but that was just a really bad customer service experience.

Friendly & attentive service! Delicious drinks! Yummy sandwiches! Would HIGHLY recommend and will DEFINITELY be back!

My go-to here is a latte with their caramel cardamom syrup! Super delicious. The staff is also so, so friendly and the service is quick. The inside is so cute, too! My favorite coffee spot in Alpharetta!

Stopped by as I was passing through, parked in the nearby parking deck because parking seems crazy in the area. Wonderful service, great atmosphere to meet or read/relax. Had a delicious fall spice scone and a matcha. Definitely want to come here again!

This place has everything a good coffee shop needs! Delicious coffee, nicest people that serve it, scrumptious pastries and cozy atmosphere!

Amazing coffee and the vibes are immaculate. Staff is super friendly, asks about your day and always has a smile on their face - great place to stop in if you're in the are. Outdoor seating also looked solid. From a coffee snob who loves a good local spot, Highly recommend.

A cute coffee shop in the downtown area. I was new to the area and the staff were very friendly. They recommended places to see in downtown Atlanta. My coffee wasn't strong enough, so they were sweet enough to add an extra shot for free. Coffee was great, could have been hotter.
