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.
