I come here with my son a couple days a week. Very neighborhood coffee shop vibe. We love the baristas and they all recognize us now which feels good.Caffe vita is one of my favorite coffees in town. Definitely known to be one of the best craft coffee purveyors around.

I stopped in to get a mocha. Price seemed a bit high, but it tasted excellent. Not much wait to take or fulfill order. Staff was friendly and polite. Nice looking place with a number of tables, though we were just taking out. I recommend it if youre in the area.

What a perfect neighborhood coffee shop! The tree-lined sidewalk really sets the tone for this place: the interior is spacious and air conditioned, there are plenty of window seats, and all of the tables are large enough for you to get some work done. I love coming here and tapping away on my laptop.

Simple coffee menu with tons of great pastries to choose from. However, my bagel did NOT come with enough cream cheese, it was half whats needed for the oversized bagel. Good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Nice and cool inside on a hot day. Large, clean bathrooms.

Staff is awesome and friendly, the coffee used is some of the best out there. Americano is always on point. Location is close enough to the lake getting a cup and walking down is a good idea.

Comfortable place with diverse clientele and awesome coffee. Limited parking but welcome to Seattle LOL. Try the Batch 206, bourbon aged coffee as a cold brew. Am I at a bar?!? Nope! Its a cafe. They also know a cortado from a latte. Plus one in my book.

Larger space, decent coffee that’s priced on the high end. The most notable thing about this shop among the sea of coffee shops in town is the remarkably slow service. Do not expect to see any hustle even during peak hours; do expect a slow moving line out the door. Only go if you have lots of time. Good for working.

So I go in there. They just stared at me. There was one other person there ordering but talking most of the time. Didnt get welcomed so I didnt even know if I was supposed to order. And they look at me like uh hello..? I pick out one of their sandwiches Cuban melt most pathetic sandwich ever. Like 3 slices of ham, couple pickles, a slide of cheese and barely any Dijon mustard on a really dry piece of bread. Saddest thing ever. And the drink I got was a chai tea latte. It tastes like it was drowned in ginger. Didnt ask what size I wanted or anything. Very unprepared. This was on September 2,2020. Make coffee and converse later. Waste of $15

This place gets an A+ for expert preparation, equipment, service, and beans. Big, airy space with lots of seating. Incredibly knowledgeable staff with no Seattle espresso snobbery. Love, love, love.

With the outdoor seating option, you can almost forget about the pandemic. Ive always liked their espresso and baked goods.

Very chill atmosphere for doing work. Staff was the right amount of friendly (courteous but not nosy). My French press and croissant were reasonably priced (8 bucks), delicious, and served in a timely fashion. My new favorite place for trudging through grad school reading.

Amazing espresso, even delicious decaf! Kind staff, cool location (across from a book store and pub!), and nice space. They have alternative milks, too, including oat!

Nice place to study or relax in for a few hours. However, the coffee customizations are quite limited, I wish they had a larger variety of flavors/syrups. Thankfully I’m not picky, but others in my group were a tad disappointed.

Review №35

Its weird, Ive had two completely different experiences at this location. One where they were super friendly, the other where the staff took a really long time to even acknowledge me and when the barista came up she seemed spacey...Like she was still thinking about the conversation her and her buddy behind her were having. Not a big deal, I just kind of felt like I was interrupting or bothering them.

Review №38

This place seemed to be the type of coffee shop Almost Live! wouldve lampooned. Decent coffee, I guess. Maybe I didnt have the proper knowledge of where my coffee was sourced from, what the pickers name was, or why his right hand picking the coffee is superior to left handedness. Not super friendly, wasnt sure where I could find a lid for my coffee... Lots of people sitting silently on laptops, so they must have been locals!

Review №39

Ive met a friend here a few times for coffee and it is amazing! Almost the best coffee in Seattle (Ive got one place ahead of them). The atmosphere is typical Seattle coffee house and it isnt too busy usually. I havent had to wait for my coffee for more than about 5 minutes, so thats a big plus.

I usually stop here on bike rides to south Lake Washington. Its a good place to stop for coffee and sometimes for pastries, but they run out in the afternoon. Then you are stuck with overly sweet yogurt options. The coffee is great though and the service, while slow, is excellent.

It is part of my job to help businesses with certain building repair, many places have proven to be quite rude to my industry, this place was very friendly, treated me like a human, and the atmosphere was very cozy, I get to see the kitchens in these places, this Cafe has an enormous kitchen witch also proved to be very clean, I was quite impressed

Coffee is good. However, Ive experienced bad service from one specific woman working there. Asked if they served iced espresso, and got a snarky response: well yeah, its just espresso and ice. Ive had multiple sarcastic responses from her. Will not be coming back.

This is a great place to get work done. It feels big and open, unlike the typical claustrophobic Seattle coffee shops. For non-coffee-drinkers, Vita has a selection of delicious local kombucha.
