Diva Espresso

Rather than go to Greenwood Chocolati last week, I went to Diva - - and I'm glad I did! Diva has friendly and efficient staff, bright and sunny rooms, tasty chocolate milk and quality coffee at reasonable prices (and quite a large range of choices, too), and no violent images on the walls. It's the anti-chocolati! I never liked Chocolati's dark rooms, overpriced and sludgy drinks chocolate (was it chocolate? or mud?) but it was near my daughter's class, we had coupons, all the other reasons that make the mediocre tolerable. Then came the day that I looked up and saw a picture of blood-stained people holding meat cleavers, knives, swords - - really, doesn't anyone at Greenwood Chocolati have any decency or common sense? They're inviting children in with a kids menu, for heaven's sake, but I wouldn't wish a picture like that on my worst enemy, let alone my child. So I was very surprised to discover that right across the street was Diva - - warm, friendly Diva! Even the customers smile and talk to each other - - something that doesn't happen at Chocolati. The staff actually tries to make a drink to order the way the customer wants and doesn't try to arm-twist you into buying more food. Again, all anti-Chocolati, but who cares about that dive? I'm going to Diva from now on! more

Okay, so it's not America's Top Model...quite the opposite. Can America's Top Model make an awesome espresso? Probably not. The drinks here are great from the coffee to the chai and then the bakery items are huge and scrumptious. That's right, I said scrumptious. If you're doing a java crawl, make sure to stop in here on your way down Greenwood. There are other locations but I like this one the best. more

something about this place absolutely makes me feel like a diva when i walk in. maybe its the name, the red paint, or the scent of chocolate mixed with espresso, soy, and raspberry!!!!!!!! ummm, delicious! seating is not as ample as some might like, but that adds to the coziness factor! if you're feeling down, or blue something about this place will pick you right up! more

This is an easy place to swing into and grab a latte' to go or hang out and chat with a friend. It has a nice cozy atmosphere. The staff is friendly and seem to love making a little design in the foam. I personally find the coffee a little bitter, but others probably don't. The pastries always look tempting, even late into the evening. more
