- Nitish MeenaJuly 5, 2015Nico of Espresso Vivace is pure magic. Subtle orange taste with freshly roasted coffee is worth drooling.

- Paul StavropoulosMarch 17, 2014One of the best coffee places in seattle! Great coffee art and rich espresso
- If you're planning to use the wifi, check it before ordering. It can be a bit spotty, especially if the place is packed.
- Also check out their cart on Broadway and Thomas if you need a late night Macchiato on the way out!
- This is the best coffee in Seattle. Get a Nico or, better yet, a Nico soda!

- It doesn't take long to finish a drink, so get it in a nice cup instead of the paper...!

- Get a coffee from Zach. Grab a chair outside and enjoy the scenery
- Best cappuccino I've had in a WHILE. Incredibly rich milk that accentuates caramel notes in the espresso.
