10/10 would recommend a delicious afternoon frappe at Val's. Stopped with a friend and she got the caramel frappe, I had the Monkey Mocha frappe. Both were delicious substitutes for our post-lunch ice cream cravings. And the ladies at the counter were incredibly helpful and friendly.

On my continuing quest to Try Something New (TSN) around town and now including an Acai bowl tour, I stopped by the highly suggested Val's Coffee Corner to try their Acai bowl offering. Val’s Corner is located on Cable (it shares an alley with Kilowatt). My timing was perfect because Val herself made a special guest appearance. Their bowl comes with organic Acai sorbet topped with granola, toasted coconut, white coconut, banana, strawberry, blueberry, honey, and chia seeds. I asked if people order peanut butter in the bowls, and the friendly person working smiled and said, “Americans, yes. In Brazil, no.” Wanting it authentic, I humorously said, “Then absolutely no peanut butter in mine this time.” What I was then served was a beautiful work of art. The base was smooth and creamy with a deep berry flavor, and the toppings gave it the perfect crunch and sweetness. EVERY SINGLE BITE was mouth meltingly good!!! I will definitely recommend this delicious Acai bowl! I already want another one. ——— Update: second visit Yesterday I skipped breakfast and for lunch I was craving a green smoothie drink and had just remembered Val’s Coffee Corner had a great looking Green Bowl that I’ve been wanting to try. So instead of a drink I stopped Val’s and grabbed their amazing Green Bowl of kale, spinach, mango, pineapples & bananas blended with almond milk and topped with fresh bananas, blueberries, avocado, goji berries, pecans, chia seeds & honey. From the moment this vibrant Green Bowl was set before me, I knew I was in for something special. Wow! The blended ingredients in were the perfect base for the toppings that truly elevated this bowl into a symphony of flavors and textures. It was the perfect brain food that I was needing. By the time I reached the bottom, I honestly felt a genuine sense of happiness—a mood boost that lasted long after the last spoonful was gone. If you're looking for the perfect blend of health, taste, and happiness, this bowl is it.

I was at the chilli cook off yesterday and I kept seeing people walk around with this beautiful bowls but I wasn't seeing that at any of the main street vendors. We were on the way home and I ended up asking someone who walked by where they got that. They pointed us to a coffee shop on one of the side streets. My girlfriend and I decided to go check it out, and we are glad we did! That was the best acai I have ever had and the girls working there, seriously the best customer service we got the entire day. I kid you not, it was almost 5 in the afternoon and their line was so long I considered not staying but that acai looked so refreshing. The ladies did not miss a bit, everyone had a smile on their face, the lady at the register explained to us the options very patiently and not letting the line scare her and later another lady brought us two beautiful acai bowl, seriously they were pieces of art. We were lucky enough to get a table so we decided to enjoy our food there and the atmosphere was so good, don't get me wrong, the place was popping, but people seem to get calmer while they were there, like we were in a bubble and we could rest from the sun and the craziness of the cook off. We will definitely return. Great place, great service, great vibe.

I got a medium size acai bowl with extra powder mill and condensed milk. Strong recommend the place and staff was very helpfull.

My friend and I had a fantastic time at this outdoor coffee shop! She introduced me to it as one of her favorite spots for acai bowls and coffee and I can see why! I had the pitaya bowl with protein powder and it was delicious. The honey cinnamon latte was perfect. I love that they offer gluten- and dairy-free options. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy great food and coffee!

I came here based on the good reviews, and I’m very satisfied. The acai bowl was even better than what I had at a famous place in Waikiki, and the espresso was wonderfully strong. I'm impressed by the quality, especially considering the very reasonable prices. The staff are also very friendly. Highly recommend!"

I have been faithfully visiting Val’s for some time now, and it has truly become a special place for me. From the moment I first walked in, I felt an incredible sense of warmth and welcome. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. One of the standout aspects of Val’s is their unwavering acceptance and hospitality towards me and my service dog. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that we always feel comfortable and accommodated. Their genuine kindness and attention to detail make each visit a delightful experience. The coffee is, of course, exceptional. Every cup is brewed to perfection, capturing the rich and vibrant flavors that Brazilian coffee is known for. The selection of pastries and snacks is equally impressive, offering a variety of delicious treats that complement the coffee beautifully. I highly recommend Val’s to anyone looking for a welcoming and inclusive coffee shop experience. Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a friendly place to unwind, this gem of a coffee shop has it all. Thank you to the wonderful staff for creating such a positive and safe space!

Heyyy! I’d like to share why I try to come here very often. First of all, the workers are so nice and friendly. We do not know each other, but they are always so kind and nice. And I see how clean they work. Second of all, there is a play area for kids , which is amazing for me since I’m a nanny and I can bring the kid with me. Third of all, as a black coffee drinker I started with black coffee, but after a while I wanted to try their latte and it was amazing , that’s why im getting latte since then. Their bowls are also so yummy. As a cold bowl lover , their bowls are kind of smoothie with lots of fruits and nuts Thank you so much for having me and the kid I’m nannying. We love you guys’s place
