Valori Espresso Lounge And Gallery

Valori offers good tasting iced chocolate and coffee at a shore-​front location with lavish interior furnishing and art.
However, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth because of the determinedly disinterested service from the baristas.

Situated across the road from the picturesque Scarborough beach front and accompanying children’s parks, Valori is one of many café’s on offer along this stretch of road. The barista’s are friendly, humorous, knowledgeable and speedy at getting that vital caffeine shot to you.
A caramelatte and two babycino’s with marshmallows only set me back $ 5, a pleasant surprise considering what you can expect to pay at some of the more popular, common coffee franchises around. The coffee was standard fare, just average, certainly nothing to Unilocal about, and my girls were happy with their babycino’s.
The café has a lovely aspect out onto the street overlooking the road. The chairs are comfortable and well spaced between clients so you certainly don’t get that cramped feeling. Grab a seat outside if you can. Inside can get quite loud with the constant smashing at the coffee machine.
Would I return? With the plentiful café offerings along the stretch, I would be inclined to test some of the others first before making a final decision, purely based on the quality of my coffee. But if you’re looking for a cheap, quick hit of caffeine, stop in and try it for yourself.
