Venture Coffee Co

During 2nd shut down servers were upbeat, friendly, personable and made us the best sandwiches I've had in years. PUmpkin spice latte was perfect too. A great experience in Ballard.

I went in this morning. There was one person working and one person seated. I accidentally went to the pickup line first, then realized my mistake and moved to the order line. It was obvious I'd never been there before. I'm new to working in the neighborhood. The person working didn't acknowledge me. He proceeded to go to the fridge and get prep work. He cut and scooped out three avocados, then stirred them while I waited for 3 minutes. Three more people came in. He never acknowledged any of us. I finally left so I wouldn't be late to work. I'll never go back.

Love this place! Great neighborhood cafe with delicious small bites and creative drinks. I’m also a big fan of the the plant decor — sometimes I like to peek in just to see how they’re doing :).

I chose this cafe over the highly rated bakeries next door as I was craving egg with my breakfast coffee. Coffee was great, bagel great, eggs a bit disappointing. 'Scrambled' comes sliced in same size slices as the cheese. All felt a bit prefab to me. For the rest, i had a relaxed visit.

Coffee was lukewarm, Barrister was indifferent, service I give them a three out of 10.

If the most important thing in your life is being safe from COVID-19 then you should go there because that’s all they care about. Quality of coffee and service out the window. And as soon as they have your money you’re going to be out the window As well!

Friendly place with wonderful coffee, signature drinks and pastries. The owner and baristas are always there to say “good morning” and know most of their costumers by name. Great place to meet somebody as it isn’t loud and the regular groups who meet there are always very respectful. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a monastery but you can hear yourself think while others go about their socializing and coffee business. Cozy, warm place...love it.

Comfortable atmosphere, wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable staff, and delicious drinks have made Venture one of my favorite coffee places. A wonderful spot to read, work, or simply enjoy a nice cup of artisan espresso!

Best cafe in Ballard. They get pastries fresh from their bakery every morning. Baristas are super friendly and welcoming. Try the Chi Chai, they also sell it by the bottle to make at home.

This place is a great place to eat food and drink a cup of joe with a friend. If you need to get a quick bite or take you time, then check this place out.

One of the better coffee spots in the area. Always superb coffee, a nice selection of pastries, and friendly staff. You really can't go wrong here.
