The latter was very good 👍
Super awesome place! So glad for their presence in the neighborhood!
We were trying a new coffee place, and I was excited to try it however, they had different flavored syrups I've never heard of, and there was no brief description of what they were to people unfamiliar with them. I had to make a quick decision since there was a line so I ordered a simple vanilla latte. Also, they don't have a visual of what other flavor syrups they offered, prices were high for a pour-over and an iced vanilla latte and my husband pour over wasn't filled to the top hence the four stars I gave them which would've been a 5 star since my husband loved the flavor of the pour-over and so did I.
Butterfly pea flower matcha latte. Highly recommend
Varraco coffee’s beans, roasting and extraction deliver some of the best espresso I’ve tasted anywhere. Smooth, rich and not over roasted.
Great coffee and pastries! They obviously don't want you to hang out though, the chairs are a foot off the ground and sparse, and there's no bathroom, so uhh, you might have to rush home after your coffee starts working
Best espresso in town! My absolute favorite!!!
Excellent coffee! They are sourcing their beans directly from the farmers, so we are happy to pay a bit more for this artisan/community approach. And the pastry!! I’m now addicted to Ensaymada & Bibingko, delicious!! This really is by far the best coffee in PD. Go treat yourself!
Pandan bibingka was lovely.
Their tagline is “wildly good coffee” but I would suggest “wildly expensive coffee” is more appropriate. The coffee is good, but nothing in particular to warrant the price. They also aren’t particularly friendly. They’ve got some unique drinks and pastries that might be good. What we just prefer unflavored coffee drinks.
Really good quality coffee. I noticed that it was a Filipino owned coffee shop and they have pandan and ube flavored lattes (which I'll have to try next time, if there is a next time). I ended up getting an iced latte with oat milk. I gave it 3 stars because I thought the price was TOO high for a plain iced latte: $7 + oatmilk($1.25) so it came out to be an $8.25 cup of coffee. I would say, charge less for the oatmilk, or less on the latte price, and maybe there will be a bit more happier customers. And yes, a dollar makes a big difference. BUT, in the end, I do believe it was delicious and flavorful.
I found this cafe by accident and I’m glad I did! The service was personal, fast and efficient. And it’s so nice to have a variety of new pastries in the desert! Try them out!
What a great spot for some really good brew! The treats were delicious and the Matcha Latte was a hit with the girls.
New Coffee shop in town … sure let’s try it! I got the Varraco Latte with vanilla and one with vanilla and coconut, we also tried cinnamon apple empanadas. Let’s just say I got a stamp card and we will be a regular here! Great friendly staff as well 🙏
Beautiful people serving delicious food and coffee.
We purchased a bag of whole beans at Varraco and were shocked at the price: $43 per pound. The beans are sold in small bags of 10 oz although this isn’t marked anywhere on the bag, nor is the roasting date or information about the beans. We normally get beans delivered from Portland in 5 lb bags for $19.50/ lb (which lasts us 3 weeks). The roasting date, marked on the bag, is always within 4-5 days of our receipt. This morning we tasted the two coffees side by side and there was virtually no difference in the taste. The Varraco was slightly brighter in flavour and had a longer finish. This difference is not worth 2.25 times the price. We tried Varraco as we like to support local businesses but at these prices we won’t be back.
First time going here , tried the Ube Latte and ham n cheese ensaymada yayyy!!! So good !!! Also the staff are so friendly and very welcoming definitely coming back again.
As soon as you walk in to Varraco Coffee Roasters, you feel like you’re in a coffee shop you’d find in Seattle or San Francisco. The aesthetic is effortlessly cool, urban and minimal. Everyone who works at Varraco is pleasant, knowledgeable and welcoming. It’s easy to cozy up, kick back and have great conversations at this little shop. What I love most about Varraco is the tangible passion the owners have for art and craftsmanship to make a great cup of coffee. They source their beans personally from the Philippines and roast in house. They stay true to honoring their roots while adding a modern approach to their selection of coffee and pastries. Varraco is not a traditional, trendy coffee shop, it’s more than that. They provide an authentic experience into the Filipino culture. Their story and passion is what drew me in and their fantastic coffee is what keeps me coming back from more. I’m personally addicted to their brown sugar latte. I saw reviews discussing price, however a portion of the sales go back to the farmers who provide the coffee beans. So I gladly spend a few extra dollars supporting a business that supports their community, staff and farmers. Needless to say, Varraco is exactly what this desert needed: an effortlessly cool coffee shop with artfully crafted coffee.
The beef emanada was a surprise. It's crack... I asked the batista to surprise me with my coffee (I've never had terrible coffee, so what's the worst that could happen) and he prepared me a hot Ube Coffee. DELICIOUS! And watching the care and love he prepared everyone's coffee with... was a pleasure. Come here! The vibe is awesome. Update: without fail, no matter how much I prepare myself, I have to race home to poop. The coffee is THAT good.
Very good
