Saiichi HashimotoMarch 4, 2015Espresso 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.
SoxinlyMarch 11, 2012I 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!
Jane HudsonOctober 21, 2011Enjoy the beauty of your freshly made mocha, but then ask for some coffee whipped cream. You know you want it!
Equal quality to the full café across the street, enjoy a latte or cap to go on your way to work!
E GAugust 10, 2010Velvety, creamy, smooth, silky, caffeinated yumminess. The soy cafe caramel went down my throat as nicely as someone slipping and sliding on soft satin sheets.
Tracey WalshApril 3, 2012Always tip your barista / coffee maestro / coffee artist! Perfection is called a tall velvet. ;)
Cafe Nico in a for here cup! Espresso on the sidewalk!
You can't really go wrong with an americano, but their blend lends itself well to milk, too.
Chris PendletonJune 29, 2011White 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.

Best damn coffee in Seattle. No drip though, so get an americano if you want that.
In a rush, stop by here for a quick Vivace fix. (via Scoville) Read more
