Valentine Coffee Roasters is definitely a great local coffee chain--better than Colectivo for sure. I appreciate that their fall specials are more creative than a PSL and a maple latte, like many spots will default to. While they do have a pumpkin spice latte, they also have a borgia mocha and a pistachio sage latte (what I ordered, which funnily enough has the same abbreviation for pumpkin spice latte). Consistently across locations (I've been to the West Allis spot and the Historic Third Ward shop in addition to Washington Heights) the coffee is always high quality and never too sweet.

Chill coffee place, with a private parking lot. Enjoy your coffee in a ceramic cup of 12oz or get your cup to go. I got the Kenya drip and killed some time while sipping some good roast.

I ordered a hazelnut iced latte with soy milk when I came to valentine coffee roasters. I thought it tasted very delicious. It was quite sweet which is to my liking. I ordered it to go on a Thursday early afternoon. The shop was relatively empty so it looked like a nice place to do work. There was low lighting, dark wood tables, medium loud angsty music and a LOT of greenery/plants. I thought it was very well decorated. It was nice how they had several alternate options other than regular plain coffee (rishi tea, alcohol coffee, sweet treats, coffee specials, flavored coffees). They had a water dispenser at the front of the shop which I love to see as it shows they care for the customers and welcome their stay. There was a large rack with several items for sale such as coffees, alcohol, cups and coffee brewing tools. My one word of constructive criticism is that there were no sugar free coffee flavors. It would be a nice option to have for those who are diabetic and would like to enjoy a fun sweet flavor or for those working on weight loss. Most places have some sort of sugar free vanilla or version of simple syrup. I would've been really happy to see that.

I truly can't speak more highly of Valentine - definitely my favorite coffee spot in Milwaukee. Their Bering Sea blend is by far my favorite drip coffee. I love the lattes too - super smooth. Service is always friendly and speedy.

(From September 2021)Probably one of my favorite coffee shops that I've visited. High quality coffee beverages combined with a passionate staff and a neighborly location make this an awesome spot for that pick-me-up.I love their vanilla bean latte; it had the right amount of consistency and flavor. The smell of the beans and vanilla taste will put smiles on your face and excite your tastebuds. Paired with their biscotti it's the breakfast of champions.The shop is small and they've made adjustments to handle COVID. There is seating outside if you want to enjoy your beverage. Don't forget to pick up a bag of roast for your home brewery as they've sell roasts from all over the world. If you don't believe me, the signs say it all in the shop!

We stopped by here after lunch at the Milwaukee Public Market (which was delicious seafood from St. Paul's!). The interior was smaller than we expected; seating was only along the window, and this made for odd, silhouetted lighting.Anyway, my wife ordered a caramel latte and I ordered a cappuccino. We also got a pecan scone on the side.The pecan scone was pretty good. My wife's drink was very good. We liked that it wasn't cloying like the flavored drinks elsewhere. My cappuccino was just okay. This is my go-to drink, so I always order it whenever I try a new coffee place. Unfortunately the foam was sad. A good foam is what makes a good cappuccino. Sparrow Coffee has a very thick, rich, creamy foam on their capp. It comes down to having a good machine and a skilled barista to work the wand.I'd say 3.5 stars overall.

Beautiful little shop and friendly atmosphere. I'm not a coffee drinker but I stopped to get a gift for my mom. I was offered a free coffee or espresso shot with my bag purchase but I declined. I love that they sell whole brand but will grind for no charge and it barely takes a minute to do so.All the coffee bags are marked as to the type of roast and acidity level. That made it easier to find what I was sent to purchase. There's also some baked goods and merchandise available for purchase.The shop is very tidy and aesthetically pleasing, cozy. I believe there would be more indoor seating if not for the pandemic still creating a need for distancing. But, if you need coffee beans or a cup to go, I can attest that it smells great. Coffee drinkers will need to weigh in on the taste!

So this review may be a tad bias since we live 3 blocks away from their Washington Heights location, however after sampling all the wonderful local coffee shops Milwaukee has to offer, I can say with confidence that Valentine is the best of them all! The Heights is the original location but they recently opened a new location in the Third Ward which also serves a full menu of breakfast and lunch options. They are in the midst of transitioning the roastery to this location and the original location will convert that space into a kitchen! Stoked to be able to order breakfast, sandwiches, soups, and salads in addition to baked goods in the Heights.

Valentine is one of my favorite coffee shops in Milwaukee and is my go-to for buying beans. They also offer a cup of coffee to go with a bag of beans purchase, which is nice. The service is always quick and baristas are kind. It's a cool little local coffee shop and it's worrying giving a try!

Greatest coffee shop in Milwaukee. So thankful I live in Wauwatosa now so I don't have to drive 20 min out of my way.... Which I would do because it's so worth it. Customer service is great, always playing good music, Grebe's bakery items, on top of phenomenal coffee? You won't find a better spot. I'll never get over how great this specific location is.
