Vibrant hangout spot with a character. But I dont get their coffee.. would go there to catch up with a friend or work on a side project & coffee is just a nice to have..

Rich and smooth, full flavored. The right bitterness, not burnt or sour. Dependably good coffee, always well prepared.

Beautiful atmosphere; the barista had great energy; they use oatley for their oat latte which i prefer; covered outdoor seating so i can sit out in the rain. The espresso is roasted just a tad dark for my personal taste, but overall a great experience. Makes me miss the one on the lower east side!

I’ve had my fair share of coffee related beverages. Especially since Chicago is bathed in coffee shops. But I’ve never officially been to the Coffee capitol of the US. So we came here, and I say, I had a iced mocha, and this mocha, wasn’t like any other, it was rich and smooth, and it was addicting, and apparently they make the mocha in-house. The vibes of this joint is relaxing, inside and outside. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely would come back, and best things the place was clean!

Good coffee caffe but make sure you get what you ordered. . ^^

This place is always cute. Always Fun cold brew specials in the summer! And now they have lattes to go

Excellent coffee and wonderful friendly employees. Cool vibe to just hang out and enjoy a great beverage.

Good coffee, nice staff, and quick service. I love that their hours are pretty early/late compared to many other cafes in the area, and that theres a decent amount of outdoor seating.

Cool coffee shop with the usual coffee and pastry selections and a lot of seating. Good on to work on a laptop at.

Pricy for alright coffee. It isn’t the best but drinkable. Tried a mocha and cappuccino and both were slightly sour and acidic. I would recommend Espresso Vivace and Victrola over this.

Great atmosphere, great drinks and snacks and lastly amazing location.

Nice, comfortable atmosphere with very friendly staff and good coffee.

Fun neighborhood, really delicious latte (and living in New Zealand made me a coffee snob). The lighting is low but the music is good so a nice place to hang out in dim lighting.

This cafe has always been my favorite. Sadly, I no longer live in WA. However, I make sure to visit here to get their latte whenever I visit Seattle. Best latte ever!

Specialized coffee shop.. And they have there own roasting equipment and you can find there coffee in lots of other shops like branded chocolate stores all over Seattle

From Portland, go to coffee and shop vibe, complete with customers with chill indoor dogs and experienced baristas

Campfire Mocha was good

Got the Lavender Latte, one of the Spring offerings. It was more than exceptional! Will definitely come by again.

Great coffee, great outdoor seating, and they have soooo many milk alternatives. I’m from Portland and this is going to be my go to when I’m in town ♥️

I know Ive said before that Olympia Coffee was one of the best, and that may still be true, but Caffe Vita is THE BEST imho. Matter of fact, I go out of my way to buy their beans. Fortunately, they can be found at my local Safeway, but they always run out of my favorite roasts. Cafe Del Sol is my go-to, but every roast there is excellent.

Real delicious latte. Came here while visiting seattle and their coffee beans are real delicious. My son even loved their apparel and bought a jacket for him.

Caffé Vita Coffee Roasting is one of my favorite hipster coffee spots for a chai latte done right and none of that syrupy sh*t! Atmosphere is good but can shift from quiet to noisy at the drop of a hat. Other pluses: dark roast coffee beans, outdoor seating good for watching dogs walk their people, and fast polite service. Bravo!

Great coffee in a great environment!

I loved the vibe of this location. A decent cortado that holds up against the many cafes in the area. The seating and environment are really what makes this stop shine!

Favorite spot on the hill becuase of the coffee and the people that work their.

Good vibes, good music, friendly staff

Good vibes, good coffee and a nice place to sit outside on pike Street on a nice day.

Good spot to people watch. There’s a decent amount of seating but I might have felt that way because it wasn’t very crowded on a Friday afternoon. I saw some people on laptops so it might be fine for working if it’s not crowded but it was a little dark inside which would deter me. I ordered a coffee and a chai tea latte, I thought that both were solid. Service was quick so that was a plus as well.

I actually work for Beechers with Caffé Vita and the location on Capitol Hill had a great vibe! Loved the mocha with that orange peel. Staff were very polite and had great customer service.

Good coffee and a good place to sit by the window for people watching. This is a local favorite and always busy no matter what day or time. Id go here to get a cup of coffee, read a book, work or just sit back and enjoy people watching. Easy place to strike a conversation with locals and relax. If you pay $1 more, you can get a refill on your coffee. 👍

This is now my new favorite place. They both have espresso-based coffees and also brewed coffee. Highly recommended!

My absolute favorite espresso in all of Seattle. Its thick, gritty, bitter and strong. Also great service and open late!

The dark decor was really cool. No crowd on Sunday morning so its a perfect way to enjoy a cup of Joe with delicious croissant.

Great coffee, especially for the fruity coffee loving crowd

Exceptional coffee.

Kooooool fast service

Simply the best coffee in Seattle.

The lattes are delicious and the staff are very friendly. The prices are a bit eye-popping, but I guess that’s what it takes to afford rent at this central location.

Very well made carmel latte. I would recommend.

Good coffee and nice interior

Friendly good local chain. Always consistent making a latte.

Very helpful and insightful roasters. Also great advise for places to visit, eat and drink at!

Great coffee, great vibe, great spot!

Coffee is ok, not great. Only one option for pour over. I expect more from any Seattle coffee shop! Music and overall atmosphere is good.

One of my favs!!

Friendly & efficient staff, chill vibe, wifi, and really good cold brew. What more do you want?

Always good latte here.

Cozy little coffee shop with a nice ambiance.

Often imitated, but never duplicated. Best late night espresso on the hill.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! (Thats for great coffee and other products, great and friendly professional service, and great atmosphere including cleanliness). I WAS A PROFESSIONAL COFFEE TASTER FOR MANY YEARS, AND IVE STARTED COFFEE SHOPS THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL. This place roasts their own coffee and theyre EXTREMELY good at it. Their coffee is better than ANY COFFEE SHOP WITH STAR IN THE NAME (WHOM, I MUST SAY, MAKE GREAT COFFEE NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY, BUT NOT THIS GOOD). THERE IS SOME LIMITED SIDEWALK SEATING. FRESH AIR INSIDE (OPEN WINDOWS) PLACES TO CHARGE DEVICES WITH WALL PLUGS (NO WIRELESS CHARGING) AND RESTROOMS FOR CUSTOMERS (KEY, ASK BARISTA).

Good cold brew and central location.

The food is as good as always. As long as they continue with the same quality and service then business will continue to prosper.

Good coffee, nice service and good ambient

Delicious! I actually had an Italian soda, so I didnt end up trying their coffee. Loved the vibe and atmosphere of this place though. Really dimly lit spot, a cool and relaxing place to chill right in the middle of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The music is a bit loud if youre trying to read, but overall, the white noise is what some people prefer, so its doable. Quick service. No line no wait! I would come back again.

Nice place, good drinks and interesting vibe. One of the 2 staff was okay although seems to lack patients she looks tired with bags under her eyes. The other one looks male with a creative outfit have this angry face the whole time. Made it hard to request orders more than once, especially more hot water for my tea. Doesnt seem like he wants to be there and seems like not wanting to help customers. Love to help cafes out but staffs makes it uncomfortable to be there to order a drink.

Tasty coffee from their self roasted coffee beans and excellent baristas.

Excellent customer service, professional adherence to the COVID-19 precautionary measures, and delicious coffee drinks!Their mixed coffee drinks are not overwhelmingly sweet. The flavors of the coffee come through and the mixers add just enough sweetness to complement the flavors. The straight espresso is brewed im such a way that there is no noticeable bitterness and acidity.The customer service is wonderful. I called in with a question and the manager was friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful.While in the shop, I noticed that the employees were all masked and gloved. There was a plastic shield in front of the cash register to protect employees and customers from exposure. They also have markers on the floors to provide visual aids to encourage social distancing.Overall, it was a lovely experience all around.Oh! And be sure to bring card payments as they are not currently accepting cash (to prevent spread of COVID-19).

Love their coffee! The staff are friendly and always helpful! I recommend having family members visit the local coffee locations other than Starbucks. Even some local businesses serve their coffee.Ive tried to find a spot to sit here a few times and since its in a prime location. I usually have a hard time finding an outlet to plug my laptop because there are others relaxing and working here. Also open late!

Well its pretty decent. Could be cleaner. I like going here, since it doesnt get as crowded as the other coffee shops in the vicinity.Better than Starbucks though.

One of the best coffee places in Seattle! Their espresso is top notch and the ambiance is what you probably envision when you think Seattle cafe (not Starbucks obviously). They have basically every alternative milk option you can imagine. I will say their pastries are not very good, compared to some other cafes, but I cant discredit them for that because its not at all the focus.

So pretentious, but coffee ao good

One of the strongest cold brews I’ve ever had, lightning in a bottle literally. Taste was good but nothing special. Very alternative vibe if that’s what you are looking for

Used to go here in the 90s when it was Cafe Paradiso -- they had the second floor you could walk up to & there was live music with such a great view. Please bring it back! People love the upstairs room. I give this place 3 stars without it -- 8 stars with that super-cool room upstairs.

Coziest atmosphere ever. I dont come here for the coffee, I come here for the upstairs. Its a cozy attic-like room with street-view windows, dim lighting, and old fashioned wooden chairs and tables. The perfect place for meetings and reading when you want to hole yourself away.

HUGE Vita lover! I love this spot for many reasons- the best tasting coffee, people watching, place to be productive with work or meetings, meet with friends or read a book. Always something cool and interesting going on in Cap Hill and I always feel at home here!

Coffee shop in the heart of Cap Hill. Coffee is delicious, building is unique, and staff are very friendly!

It’s quite dark in here, and gives off more of a bar vibe, which is some people’s thing! My only qualm with this shop is that I paid $4 for a cup of tea, and it didn’t come with a pot. It was put in a disposable cup, making it difficult to control steeping. I’d really love to come back if they would change how they served their tea!

Great coffee and good service. The inside is pretty dark and has limited seating but its still a nice place to chat or do low key work. Might not be the best place to get serious work done since the cafe seems quite busy most of the time.

Caffe Vita, I tried your cold pressed coffee on the Bremerton to Seattle ferry today... Was not impressed... I actually thought it tasted not very good. There was a chalk feel to the coffee that was unpleasant, I will have to try your other coffee to correct this review.

Probably one of the most well known cafés on Capitol Hill. They have good coffee and pastries and this is a great spot to hang out with a laptop to get work done. Some complain that the music is too loud but its typically not annoying to me. I recommend stopping in if you havent been. This is also a great place in summertime as their cold brew is fantastic.

I was really excited when I saw that they had French Press made coffee. But I was really disappointed when I saw the barista pour the drink from a premade batch, I asked if that was really French press coffee and he gave a simple answer of yes, with no other explanation. The coffee didnt taste right, and was uncharacteristically bitter. The vibe of the place was refreshing, slightly dark but all the meanwhile cozy. But I dont feel that the ambiance is enough to make up for the coffee and the service.

A cool place to grab a lovely cup of coffee and do some work or chat with a friend. Easy to connect to wifi and there are several places to plug in.It offers a selection of different brew methods. The atmosphere is a bit darker than some of the other white-walled, modern coffee shops opening up, which makes it different.

Took a coffee tour here and learned so much! I really appreciated the background on the company and their beans. There were also so many samples we had trouble finishing it all!

Always friendly staff and good, strong coffee. A great location to people watch.

Cool music, hip and trendy vibe. It might be a little bit loud and distracting for working, but that atmosphere is part of the draw. Theres outdoor seating reserved for smoking. I dont drink coffee, but their chai tea latte was great. Its definitely a cool place to sit and take in the Capitol Hill feeling. Easy to get to via public transit. Its close to buses, the streetcar, and the light rail station.

I tagged along with a friend who loves their coffee. To be fair, Im not a big coffee person, and I dont think their vibe really gels with me. Feels a bit more like a nightclub than a cafe (very dim lighting with red neon lights). Also got a tea, and the tea bag ripped so I was just casually spitting out bits of Earl Grey every sip.BUT if you love coffee and youre into more funky atmospheres, Im sure Vita is for you. Also their lids are very cool.

Great cozy coffee shop. They feature local artists every month and do a really good job selecting artists. They coffee is really hood, too

This is my new favorite coffee shop in Seattle. The shots were perfect, staff friendly and the artwork/ambience all made my visit a happy one. I love this place and will return!

After some 30(?) years still the best coffee in Seattle

Awesome coffee shop! Really love the vibe here, the coffee is great, the music selection is very relaxing and fitting. Its a good place to have a chat without having to raise your voice.

Coffee is good. Location is great. Hours are convenient. Annoying thrasher speed metal music not so great. Go some place else to study.

Cozy coffee shop in the heart of cap hill. Espresso and drip is excellent! Tea options are average. I had the oolong and it was good but quality but nothing special. They have both indoor tables and a few sidewalk tables.

Very good coffee. Great coffee taste but not strong or bitter . Friendly service and nice atmosphere. Plenty of room to sit.

This is a good solid coffee spot. The coffee was excellent. The server was appropriately aloof. I had a yummy pastry. The seating is limited. It seems like a good spot for coffee lovers.

Great place to grab a quick coffee or hang out all day getting work done

Sometimes you want to go to a cafe to read / work / have peace. Other times, you want to go to a cafe to people watch and socialize. Go here for the latter. Do not expect the former here.That is, the tables are close, and generally spaced to encourage socializing. The music also tends to be louder than other cafes.

Wonderful espresso, wonderful ambiance, homey, cozy, not stuffy. A casual joint with a lot of class. I enjoy this place, enjoy the coffee, and Im happy to support it with my patronage.

Good coffee, interior is a little dark for my preferred cafe vibe. Also they served our coffee in a takeaway cup even though we were dining in. Just an FYI as I got the feeling that was the default and you had to ask for it in a mug. This method also obviously produces more waste.

Great local coffee shop with a global reach. They just sent a guy to Paris to help train a team there in the Vita way. Always great service, and they get an extra star from me just for being open late. Tip well!

Excellent coffee and service. Its also pet friendly. Everybody is really friendly in this neighborhood.

Excellent coffee and tea (I usually go for the tea). The cafe has a low-key vibe with competent employees.

Delicious flavour in their beans. A little dim inside but the warm staff make up for that.

Fun place to chill and meet up with friends! Their coffee was great and the staff was friendly! They roast their coffee on site so you can watch it happen on certain days!

Good house blend. No single origin on espresso only press. Bit dark inside. Open till late so an extra star

Vita world best coffee ^^

AMAZING! IVE BEEN A COFFEE TASTER FOR A VERY LONG TIME. EXCELLENT COFFEE! (MUCH BETTER THAN THAT STAR PLACE, THAT PLACE OF BUCKS) GREAT SERVICE!

Fantastic alternative atmosphere. Plenty of seating, and the customer service was fantastic. A good place to do schoolwork, if you dont mind the loud music.

Great coffee shop. The americano I had was great. The service was pretty fast although I may have been there at an off time. Ive walked past before and seen some ridiculously long lines.

Good environment, staff. Decent drinks. Maybe a little pricey...

New owners, friendly staff and they no longer close early. Enjoying a night time cold brew.
