During the day, this place is great. I have visited here a few times at night, and for some reason there is always something wrong with my late P.M. coffee, be it taste or temperature.
Great coffee, not so good Wi-Fi network. Come here to talk with friends or read a book. Don't expect to get much done on your computer with the internet dropping in and out.
Andrew FurmanJanuary 28, 2019Tons of seats for enjoying your coffee. Also check out the roasting operation in the back.
Leah LiNovember 4, 2014Huge, delicious selection of coffees, they also have their own roasting plant in the back!
Claudia GonzalezDecember 11, 2016Good pour over and morning glory muffin. Next time I'd ask them to warm up the muffin.
Ray ZambroskiNovember 5, 2012There are two floors: Upstairs for quiet and warmth, downstairs for great music and "access to the weather."
Great coffee is easy to come by in Seattle, but the atmosphere, crew, and location of Vita can't be beat.
Cortado is on point. Do not order any of the baked goods - they’re sub-grocery store quality.

Rick FrielAugust 5, 2010Go to Caffe Vita on Pike and try the drip coffee.It's different drip every day and it is brewed French Press. My favorite is the Ethiopian. See you there!
George TurnerMay 7, 2013I am happy that they fixed their WiFi at long last! Now,I can download stuff and it is much easier to add likes!
Landon HowellSeptember 20, 2011Find a spot on the sidewalk or head to the corner by the windows (upstairs or downstairs) for Capitol Hill people watching.
Michael BowersFebruary 19, 2014The baristas here are really nice and friendly, not the typical Seattle service with a cold shoulder.
Jane AgueroFebruary 24, 2015Sweet atmosphere. Came to study, didn't actually get any coffee but I've heard it's great!- Upstairs provides a front row seat to people watch the madness down in Pike. Keep an eye out for Slats. Rumor says he can still be seen around these parts on foggy nights..
Examiner.comJanuary 4, 2011Get your guilt free cuppa fix...Fair trade coffee from sustainable farms around the world and it's darn good too! Read more- During the summer, keep you eyes peeled for the cold press. Takes 8 hours to brew, and it's worth every second!
Brandon StaniferApril 14, 2013Cute atmosphere, kinda loud though. I got a cafe mocha and I'm not Impressed. Haha, seriously did they put any chocolate in here???
The upstairs area is practically academic and the best place on Capitol Hill to get work done. Just save me a table, please.
Tiko TronikMarch 31, 2011Bring earplugs if you want to get work done. They are fond of distracting music like death metal.- AngieNovember 13, 2011Grab a hot chocolate and relax in the quiet upstairs. Watch the cars whizz by below.
William BaldonJune 23, 2010This place is the best coffee shop I''ve been to in a long time. you will like the mellow atmosphere!!!
Aub DriverJanuary 31, 2010Hipster coffee house. Providing local roasts to other local coffee houses. Great spot to do mindless work for hours on end.
The upstairs is a great place to get a group of people together and have a meeting in a relaxing environment.
- expensive, and too dark downstairs. downstairs gets loud, so if you have to come here, sit upstairs.
Currently: beloved "Seattle Daylight Writers" group upstairs every Friday at 11am. Previously, a string of a million memories since it was Paradisos
These kids need to double down on their slow-brew capacity. They're the only ones in town who do it.
