Venture Coffee

The baristas at Venture are unbelievably nice. If you walk in, they gonna give you a damn compliment, regardless of how nice or disheveled you look. They gonna tell you your dog is cute regardless of how sweet or pesky he is. And they're gonna serve you an excellent chai with a delicious pastry (get the Kouign Amann or the cheesy tomato danish-- we forgot what it's called but it's good). If we could give them 6 stars, I would. Thanks, y'all!

I live nearby and it's a nice to have a coffee shop like Venture when I want a little change for breakfast. Both their coffee and pastries are good - staff here don't recommend heating up the pastries with custard in it but they actually taste pretty good warmed up too. There are lots of seats so you can usually find a spot to sit even during busy hours. Staff is usually nice but I've encountered some staff who are kind of standoffish/snobby a few times. Idk, maybe they were moody because it was in the morning. I haven't had bad experiences recently so I'm hoping to keep it that way.

Stopped for coffee before going to the Ballard Farmers Market. BF had drip coffee and I had a Matcha latte with oat milk. Wasn't really impressed with the coffee and latte. Matcha latte was lukewarm and seemed like there was not a lot of matcha in it.

Favorite coffee shop in Ballard! It's welcoming but not presumptuous, and has a great selection of pastries in addition to drinks. My personal favorite is their Seattle Fog tea latte.

Came to this busy spot for coffee. Line out the door and the pastry case is filled with Danish on steroids! Everything came in the size big and bigger! Ordered an Americano and unfortunately the coffee was bitter and sour. Majorly disappointed. If I had time to ask for a redo I would've.

I always seek out coffee shops wherever I go and Venture did not disappoint. Located within the Ballard neighborhood is a cozy shop , a great place to relax or work while enjoying a coffee. I tried a Brown Sugar and Rosemary Latte. It was excellent! The brown sugar added just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee was smooth and not bitter. I highly recommend.

I visited my friend's favorite neighborhood coffee shop and had a delightful experience. I opted for the unique espresso tonic with juniper, a refreshing afternoon alternative to coffee, and the Seattle fog latte, perfect for non-coffee enthusiasts. The cafe offers ample seating, and I noticed someone working on their laptop. A cozy spot for both coffee lovers and those seeking a caffeine-free treat!

Staff was lovely, the breakfast food was fresh and delicious, and.... God damn.They have this mole mocha. It's unlike anything I've ever tasted. It's incredible! Anyone who enjoys various espresso drinks should have this as a required tasting. I wish I could find that in NYC somewhere because damn I'm going to miss that mocha

Been here a handful of times now, and almost every time has been excellent. The off-time was still good. They make delicious coffees as well as matcha lattes that are not too sweet. They offer an assortment of pastries which usually includes a vegan option, and they also have a menu with hot bites like egg & cheese sammies. I've never had bad service. They appear dog friendly. They get bonkers busy on the weekend but the line moves quickly. I like to sit in the big front window and people watch. Good vibes here.

Can't say enough about venture. We stayed with friends in Ballard and they recommended this. We came here 3 times during our stay! We loved it. The Vienna latte is a fan favorite. We absolutely loved their coffee. So much better than the place down the street - by a lot. I hope to return someday. Thank you!!
