All of them were delicious! Think the biscotti was the best I ever had! I figured this would be a great place to order a Thanksgiving dessert. Last Sunday, I stopped back in. Sunima was absolutely wonderful answering all my questions about the different pies and cakes. I ended up ordering 8 inch fruit tart. (Please see attached photo). It was $52 plus tax. Totally worth the money. On 11/26, I stopped back in to pick up my order. The fruit tart was already. Thank you Mattarello's! The fruit tart was the hit of all Thanksgiving desserts.

The barista was nice and quick with our order. We both got a caramel latte, one with almond milk and with regular one; they were both okay and definitely satisfied our coffee craving. Our total was 13.99 which seemed a bit much for two small coffees. I think it's a nice spot to have if you live nearby.

Vesta Chocolate is one of those places that reminds you how thoughtful food can be…read more We shared a half brownie and a peppermint hot chocolate, and both felt intentional rather than indulgent for indulgence's sake. The brownie was rich without being heavy, balanced, and clearly made with care. But the hot chocolate is where Vesta really shines. The staff is genuinely knowledgeable about the makeup of the drink, not just the menu language. You can choose your preferred milk, and they explain how each option changes the experience. That kind of attentiveness matters. It tells you they know what they're serving and why. And the homemade marshmallows? Soft, pillowy, and quietly perfect. Not an afterthought. A finishing touch that elevates the whole cup. Vesta feels curated without being precious. Warm without being chaotic. A place where craft, knowledge, and comfort meet in a way that feels grounded and human. I'll absolutely be back.

The baristas were really nice. The inside has a cute cozy feel to it. Only thing is parking is very much a pain. It has a small parking lot that fits maybe 6 cars otherwise it's just street parking. I wanted to come in to get work done but since I could only put my car in the 15 minute parking spot in the front, I just took my drink to go. It does seem like a good quiet place to be productive though so I'll have to come back another time

My go-to coffee is usually black and nothing else. Instead I opted to try their "Hot Chai latte"and a choice of oat milk, half/half and milk and other options.
