    Espresso Vivace is that girl you meet at a party. She didn't catch your eye but, as you talk to her, you realize she's really amazing! You hit it off and schedule a date for next week.

    The cappuccinos are both mild and slightly sweet without sugar. Both from the temperature of the milk and the style of pull on the espresso. Possibly the best cappuccino in town.

    Cafe Nico for a little spring in your step. Sitting under the umbrella guarantees a conversation with the regulars.

    Espresso is normally made with Dolce at Brix/Alley, but made with Vita here. It's different, but just as tasty. Have one here, then walk up the street to Brix and compare the two.

    The place where David Schomer started it all. Best lattes out of the three Espresso Vivace cafes.

    I was hesitated about white valvet at first, worried it's like white choc mocha from Sbux. But I'm so glad I did! So smooth & delight!

    Enjoy the beauty of your freshly made mocha, but then ask for some coffee whipped cream. You know you want it!

    Capitol Hill is good. Vivace makes it even better.

    Equal quality to the full café across the street, enjoy a latte or cap to go on your way to work!

    Velvety, creamy, smooth, silky, caffeinated yumminess. The soy cafe caramel went down my throat as nicely as someone slipping and sliding on soft satin sheets.

    Always tip your barista / coffee maestro / coffee artist! Perfection is called a tall velvet. ;)

    You can't really go wrong with an americano, but their blend lends itself well to milk, too.

    White Velvet is white chocolate...which they make themselves. It's money. Get it.

    Can't decide which I love more... the staff, the regulars, the people-watching or their superior coffee.
