They have an extensive menu that truly offers something for everyone. I tried the Oat 'n Brown…read moreSugar Latte, and it taste little like a warm oatmeal cookie and not overly sweet. My friend ordered the Brass Monkey, a unique blend of banana, caramel, and cinnamon, and loved every sip. The staff is very friendly and happy to offer suggestions if you're not sure what to choose. They also serve food, though I didn't get a chance to try it this time. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a great place to hang out, and I believe it's veteran-owned, which makes supporting it feel even better. A wonderful spot for great coffee!

Sneaky and tasty coffee shop that makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich…read more Not the coziest shop, but a solid spot for a quick drop-in to get some work down. It was the afternoon, so I balked my normal coffee order and went with the sour patch energy soda. This is a watermelon and sour candy mixed drink with Blue Lotus energy base. It was sweet, but I kind of loved it. I ordered a bacon grilled cheese with a dragon spicy sauce and it complemented the sweet drink perfectly! There's a handful of tables and couches here for working or visiting with friends. Support local coffee!

We could wait on the patio, which was cozy and had sun umbrellas which were great since... It's hot and sunny today! The ambiance is a French album and the screens show ai-generated Paris (you can tell because the tree and plants "shift" but the shadows are static - dead giveaway). The food was great and decently priced. She ordered an iced coffee, I got the iced Americano. I ordered "dads breakfast" (French toast!) and she ordered the crossan'wich. Both were great. Parking is simple in the same lot - there's only a couple of covered spots though. The space is huge - the restaurant spans at least three storefronts. Service was generally decent and fast, given how busy it was.

We visited Chez Maryse for the first time on Mother's Day, and while there were definitely some…read morepositives, I don't think we got the full experience because of the holiday menu. The restaurant was extremely busy, so I do recommend making reservations ahead of time. The service could have been a little better, but considering how packed it was, it felt more overwhelmed than rude. One thing to know ahead of time: Diet Cokes come in cans, not fountain drinks, so there are no refills. The biggest disappointment for us was the limited menu selection that day. There were mostly sandwiches and not a lot of variety. I ordered the quiche, which ended up needing extra sauces on the side because it felt a little plain on its own. My husband ordered the French toast, and that was actually very good. Ambiance was alright - a little cramped but the live music gave it a touch of class. Overall, I'd still recommend trying this place, just maybe not on a major holiday when the menu is limited and the restaurant is packed. I'd be willing to give it another shot on a normal weekend because I have a feeling the regular menu probably offers a much better experience.

I love how they blend Middle Eastern flavors with a modern, everyday café menu - it feels unique but still comforting. They even offer free water, which is always appreciated. Since it's located near Fresno State, it's usually buzzing with college students and has a lively, energetic vibe. I also love that their menu is always evolving, so there's always something new to try. Definitely a go-to spot for studying, hanging out, or just grabbing a really good coffee.

You order at the counter and they bring you your food. They missed an item we ordered, and what did come was very meh. The egg skillet thing was very insubstantial for the price. 2 little eggs topped with a bunch of very salty cream sauce with a slice of toasted sourdough. The crowaffle was mid and the lattes we ordered were not great. Not much flavor, just super sweet. Also $1.50 add on for oat milk is pretty ridiculous. You want great flavorful coffee, go to Chez Maryse. My daughter got the chia seed pudding and lavender latte which she said was gross and gave her stomach problems afterwards. She had come here before bc everyone she knew seems to love this place- BUT she thought it wasn't that great but ended up receiving a bunch of gift cards to use. I don't think we will come here again though - there are way better options.

I wasn't planning on stopping by here. I was at WSS when I noticed it, I walked over and just got a cafe de la olla on ice. It came out to $3.25. It tasted good and no cream was needed. It was a tad sweet from the brown sugar. But it was softened by the cinnamon and cloves. Overall it was tasty; I would just prefer it less sweet. No complaints on service. That cashier was kind. Certainly another visit is warranted after seeing pictures of the avocado toast- I think that would pair nicely with a ceremonial matcha.

I recommend trying this place if you're ever in the area or wanted to stop by on your lunch for pick me up!

The food at Valentino's is absolutely scrumptious and truly speaks for itself. The first time I…read morevisited, I was lucky enough to try the lasagna, which was rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. On my second visit, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs--and it did not disappoint. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked, with a hearty, house-made sauce that tasted deeply authentic. The sauce had a beautiful balance of savory tomato flavor, herbs, and just the right amount of richness, as if it had been simmering all day. The meatballs were tender, well-seasoned, and full of flavor, not dry or overly dense, but exactly what you hope for in classic Italian comfort food. Every bite felt homemade and satisfying, the kind of meal that reminds you of a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. Valentino's proves that size isn't everything; the small space is remarkably warm and inviting. The relaxed, cozy atmosphere perfectly mirrors the menu, allowing for a meal that feels unhurried. With its genuine family-run charm, the restaurant feels wonderfully authentic and approachable. Beyond the food, the experience at Valentino's is what truly sets it apart. It's a father-and-daughter business, and their pride shows in everything they do. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel more like a guest in their home than just a customer. If you're looking for authentic Italian food made with heart and tradition in Fresno, Valentino's is a must-try. I'll absolutely be back again.
