Just rating their drip coffee — way too weak. dumped it out and went to Starbucks… seriously. And why serve bubble tea without tapioca? If you like mochas it may be worth a shot. They have one with orange zest that sounds interesting.

I like my coffee richly flavorful and unadulterated. Divas Americano — regular and iced– gives the best coffee experience at Seatac.

Best coffee I’ve had at an airport. ‘Nuff said.

Becoming my Monday morning ritual. Check in for my flight and grab a mocha on the way for the last smoke before heading to security. The sweet lady behind the counter even remembers me now. Lol. She makes a great Mocha!

Diva Espresso is actually pretty solid when it comes to getting food and drinks in an airport. I got an Egg Salad Sandwich which was pretty good but a little bit muted on the flavor. The sandwich was fresh and that in of itself deserves high marks because when you are traveling that is an element with dining that we often have to give up. The coffee was not bad either. Again, pretty solid but not the best I have had either. The staff was friendly and helpful too! Since Diva Espresso does sell sandwiches and such it would be useful if they had tables to sit at. I realize that space limitations are involved which may explain why they do not have any tables there. There are airport seats nearby where you can sit and eat but they were dirty with crumbs and there was a small table to set stuff there but it was very dirty too. At one point I got a passing odor of mold. Ew. Despite the dirty seats and nasty odors I realize that that is something that the janitors at the airport need to stay on top of and not Diva Espresso.

That retro doll of a gal on the pillar is a nice welcome! *tips invisible bowling hat to you, madame* It’s for sure a nice twist away from the usual guesses of airport coffeeshops. Does it have the«diva» of the local«Divas»? Maybe. A little bit. Up to you. I do sort of dig their red with the silver and stuff. The gals are friendly enough; they could probably care less about what name they’re working under but, ehh. I think I had a latte, chai or DC; my drink was good! Definitely worth a visit if you’re tired of The Rest.

The aesthetic of this place isn’t the best and with a name like Diva Espresso, I expect high heels, pearls, satin, the works. Therefore the humble blue & white sign greeting me at the airport was less than inviting. However, getting of the airplane into cold, wet, sad Seattle, coffee is very much the first order of business. Despite the stale look of the place, the menu board is anything but. Generra: mocha with orange zest. WHAT?!? Double take! Seriously? YUM!!! As a chocolate/orange lover this was a MUST try. The girl behind the counter was ADORABLE and super friendly and nice. I watched and smell her zest the orange directly into my cup — YUM-O! The coffee and orange flavor were delicious, but I did suck up what measured about a 12″ orange rind by the time we reached the first garbage can on the way to the light rail. I sucked it through the hole in the to-go cup and dangled it into the garbage can as my hands were full of luggage. Gross? Maybe. I thought of it more as a vacation perk and did a bit of self-congratulations on the maneuvering. It was completely worth it and I will totally stop there again if I ever find myself in Seattle again! Hooray!

Decent coffee. Locally roasted. Barista was uninspired and couldn’t confirm if the beans were fair trade.

Great coffee and super convenient. I was actually surprised that being the Starbucks snob I am that I didn’t have a complaint — LOL. Fast, courtious service. Loved that I could get a coffee before having to go through security.

If you absolutely need coffee, take the time and head to baggage claim. Tucked away here is a Diva Espresso, a local chain with stores around Seattle. The baristas are fast and friendly, I imagine you’d have to be to work in an airport setting. Once I met a friend here during her layover and we ate some of their food outside — it was better than I expected. Their coffee is fair trade and priced lower than SBUX or other options nearer the gates upstairs. I’m definitely a fan of Diva and it’s the place to get your caffeine fix at Seatac.

A quick spot in the arrivals terminal(domestic) where you can grab coffee. The baristas are friendly, and the service is quick and efficient. The coffee itself is pretty standard, but I am not going to complain since it is the airport after all. For a place which appears to be very randomly situated instead of being part of a cluster of shops/stores, I was pleasantly surprised. Overall, a good place to get some coffee before heading into town or up across the border.

When I am in SEA airport. I will veer away from Sbux. Because in my times I have become a bit of a espresso snob like most Seattle-ites. I will always remember how I started drinking coffee in Seattle when based here with an airline and not being a morning person. That was years ago. AND since then I lost the FA15 and moved on to more grown up coffee drinks beyond mochas. I have never had a bad experience here. The baristas are on it. Fast on it. They carry Viennese chocolate in a non fat form to shoot into your espresso. Yeah baby. So much for that mocha taste. Well, I am a girl and I can be a Diva and go back on my word. At least when I am in Seattle.

In the epicenter of coffee snobbery, err, I mean lovers, it’s at least a nice departure from the overly-commercialized mediocrity of SBUX.(Ironic that the motherland of SBUX has also become one of the more hated entities of locals, but that’s another conversation.) The baristas are friendly and pump out drinks at a pace fit for the traveler who just grabbed her luggage and is looking to dash out to get her day started. Their espresso drinks will(temporarily, anyway) patch up the harm that 6am flight just did to your body.

The coffee is solid and the ladies working here are always friendly. They are cheery. The pricing is right inline with most coffee shops. It is in a great location by the baggage claim.

If you want to try something different than your average Starbucks at Seatac Airport, head downstairs across from Baggage Carousel #15 you will find Diva Espresso! They make a nice flavorful White Chocolate Mocha! All the pastries are fresh daily… and always tasty! #Hand Crafted Artisan Coffee & Fair Trade too! :D It’s nice that they are located downstairs baggage claim! Order a drink or snack and next thing you know your bags are ready to pick up! #Happy Jetsetter! Yay! I’m a fan.

Diva Espresso is a great pick-me-up at the SeaTac airport near baggage claim aisle 16. Their coffee is decent and has a good flavor and the prices aren’t absurd like inside the security gates. It’s a great way to wake up on your red eye! Do get a drip coffee or espresso drink
