I stopped by Val’s Coffee Corner’s newest location, right on the corner of Voltaire and Ebers, to check out their soft opening. They’re still fine-tuning some of the small details, but the place is fully up and running.
Owner Val Fiorini already has a well-loved spot on Cable Street, just half a block south of Newport Avenue, sharing an alley with Kilowatt Brewing. She brings together strong Brazilian roots and easygoing San Diego vibes, creating a space that blends the best of both worlds. She’s the kind of person who remembers your go-to order, your name, and yep, probably your dog’s, too.
For Val, it’s never just about what’s in the cup or bowl. It’s about the moment, the connection, and those small sparks of joy that come with every visit. She and her crew serve up organic, feel good favorites that leave people smiling whether it be a hot coffee, a smooth açaí blend, or a cheesy pão de queijo.
