Caffe Vita really checks all my boxes when it comes to catering to my caffeine addiction. Whether it's a latte or an americano, the Vita coffee flavor is strong and rich, but not overbearing. They have a great selection of milk alternatives, a sweet point system (which is great for a local), friendly baristas who really know their coffee, and a fridge filled with grab-and-go products and items (as I love keeping my fridge stocked with their Big Sip's). Yum! read more

Quick and friendly service! I stopped in twice since my hotel was close. It's a smaller establishment but very clean and chic. Each time I went I got the hazelnut latte with oat milk. Fabulous! Will be returning on my next trip to Seattle read more

Service is good. You should try it's ice latte, which you could really taste the roasted flavor. Note: When you purchase one coffee bean, you could get $2 off on drinks! Ask! read more

Their espresso and their cold brew are exceptional. I like Starbucks, they do a good job, but I'm glad I stopped here. I like the atmosphere and ambiance here. The dimmed lighting really relaxes me. I like the music that plays here. Right now it's a techno/electronics type song. The baristas working here are nice and move quickly. Nice place for a cold brew and some rest in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I'll try to get coffee here next time. I like that they give a separate shot glass of seltzer water to accompany the espresso. 5 stars. read more

Caffe Vita Capitol Hill - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's been a journey trying to understand pricing inconsistencies and refill policies here. The coffee is pretty good, but I get charged random prices for the same drink with the same ingredients and add ons every other day - often dependent on the person who charges me. Sometimes I pay about $6.80 ish for a cold brew with lavender and other days I pay over $8 for the same drink. I've been coming back here because they've always charged me a $1.60ish refill fee for coffee, but today they charged my over $6 for a refill followed by an awkward moment of tension with the cashier after she told me they shouldn't be doing this. I used my last reward and I won't be coming back due to the inconsistent and confusing pricing - consumers are sensitive to $2-8 per day price fluctuations which add up to $60-$240 a month for daily coffee drinkers like myself so yea, it actually is kind of a big deal.... To be clear, I don't necessarily have an issue with the people that work here, just the lack of organization and unclear pricing for drinks and refills. - maybe avoid getting upset with the customers who frequent the location and provide business .... With hundreds of coffee shops in the city, customers will eventually go elsewhere. read more

Work vibes are immaculate. Came here to be productive and had an iced valencia besides me, it was awesome. The iced valencia was what was recommended it was a slightly sweet latte with oat milk oranges, and maybe some vanilla, overall quite orangey, but a fun drink for anyone who likes to try new things! read more

Lavender americano is 10/10. Great coffee shop with lots of seating, open decently late and has really good coffee. Parking super limited but otherwise highly recommend. read more

NO ONE WORE MASK! I felt so uncomfortable around many people without mask. Also the barista was showing a mean attitude because I was wearing my mask pretending they were not listening clear my voice. I don't feel that we are ready for a mask off time. Let's make it easier for clients wearing your masks please. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the art and lighting. Was very productive here and got lots of reading done. The hot chocolate was good but I wish it had a richer chocolate taste, the art was cute though! Lots of seating space inside and outside so it's a great place to come when the other cafes are packed during weekends. read more

A nice little coffee shop in Capitol Hill, with a decent menu of coffee, non caffeinated drinks, and pastries. I really liked their seating area - plenty of tables, chill music playing, free wifi, and folks sitting there were doing all sorts of things quietly (reading, using their laptops, typing on a typewriter!, and coloring/drawing). It was a great place for us to stop by on a rainy weekend afternoon! read more

Delicious espresso, friendly staff, fast service, and very chill vibe. I love coming here in the winter to read a book or just watch Trixie and Katya while I enjoy my drink. Their ice is perfect for cold drinks (cubes that melt slow and don't water the drink down). read more

I love the coffee at Caffé Vita. Lattes made from Vita beans have always been consistently good. With equal credit going to the baristas and the actual coffee beans. This Caffé Vita is located on Capitol Hill. I consider this to be the flagship location in Seattle since a coffee roastery is located on the premises in back of the coffee shop. You can see the roasting being done through the windows. This location has two floors of seating, though I have not gone upstairs. There are also a few tables outside if you prefer street side seating. Interior on the first floor is pretty dark and tavernesque. And yes, free Wi-Fi is offered here. No password needed fortunately. Ordered a medium latte ($3.75) and it was just as expected. Bold tasting with frothy steamed milk at the top. The ambiance inside the coffee shop is alright. Though I did feel a bit out of place as this is quite the hipster coffee shop with a big city vibe going for it. I am not sure this is the greatest spot to visit when it is warm out. I stopped in on a 80 degree day and it was quite warm inside the coffee shop. It did not seem like there were any fans or AC to cool the room. The coffee is good at Vita. If I was in this part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood I would come here for that reason. Though from an ambiance standpoint, I think the Starbucks on Olive Way and the Stumptown on Pine are better in this aspect. read more

Very hip and urban atmosphere. I tried the Kyoto cold brew which was alright but nothing special. Service was a bit helter skelter and they had next to nothing to eat. I ordered a veggie pasty and I finally had to go up and ask for it. Turns out she had forgotten it in the heater. It wasn't really my thing anyway. I went for a walk around the block and passed three other coffee shops. Turns out they all had better reviews. Darn it. read more

Walked by this place today and decided to stop in for an afternoon coffee. The inside is so cute and somewhat fancy vibes. The staff were so polite and helpful. I got 2 iced mochas for me and my boyfriend and we both agreed it tasted like real quality coffee, we absolutely loved it! read more

I had Valentia - Was very subtle, could hardly feel any flavor, I was told its supposed to be spicy & orange hints - could taste none. I asked for extra hot, but could get only default one :( All in all had a SB experience! read more

Cappuccino: meh. The milk was not well steamed. Lots of warm milk like a latte on the bottom and a lot of dry foam on top. Space/seating: excellent. Outdoor patio, bike racks (limited space), lots of tables to sit at. Open later than most cafes here. If I was trying to get the best coffee in cap hill there are plenty of spots for that. I come here for the space. RE: space. The one critique I would offer right now would be that they use one speaker in the corner rather than several throughout the cafe and that one speaker is a little bit /too/ bumpin. Every vibration was advancing the contents of my colon to their final destination. Left me hard to focus. read more

Amazing drink! The VALENCIA! Orange + vanilla + oat milk latte. Lovely flavor. Plenty of tables. Quite music. read more

Caffe Vita Capitol Hill - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Their drip coffee is some of the worst in the city. It's acidic and often stale. The expresso is solid but does not have the soft subtlety of say Vivace. Prices, even for Cap Hill, are high. Service is hit or miss. You can do better on the Hill for caffeine. At this point it's more of a brand than a legit good place for coffee. read more

It always amazes me that even though they are smack dab in the middle of Capitol Hill, there is always seating room here, even on weekend afternoons. I really like the atmosphere of this caffe vita. It's not too quiet and empty, but also not bustling or loud. The drinks are always made how I order them and have the cute heart design or leaf design. read more

Excellent service. Staff was pleasant and the coffee was fantastic. Theme was a bit dark and goth for my liking, but I can see the appeal for others. If just looking for a coffee to go, this place is perfect! Setting might appeal to you, just wasn't my cup of tea, but can't knock em for that. Their service and product were top notch. read more

everything is so good -- the matcha, the chai, the coffee, the pastries. things don't tend to be too sweet or, conversely, too bitter. i don't know anyone who doesn't think this place is great! read more

The coffee is great, the service is stellar! Nice, welcoming atmosphere, pretty fair amount of seating

This is my new go-to coffee place. Proximity and also very good drinks. I really like the Lattes. All of the specialty drinks are slightly more bitter (less sweet) than most other coffee places I know. I've only tried a handful of the drinks, but I think they're good. One of the few times I have a sweet tooth is when it comes to coffee beverages. But I'd say there is a bitterness to the beans. Then again, I'm no connoisseur so sue me. The inside space feels a little cramped downstairs. There's also an upstairs and if you're lucky to get the coveted window seats then you've got it made. Against the wall isn't terrible either, but it feels sort of charmless up there and of course because it's the second floor, it's a little hot (especially during summer!) But the seating outside is also very cool. Work won't get done, and people watching will occur, but it's nice on the busy street. People there are friendly and hip. Surprise! read more

Central location on Cap Hill (by the streetcar station), opens later than other coffee shops in the area, lots of outlets for charging phones and laptops, and solid dirty chai lattes. What more can you ask for? Baristas are friendly and yes, Caffe Vita is a little hipster but I'm not sure what you expect for a coffee spot on Capitol Hill. I've heard good things about Caffe Vita's Cold Brew so try that instead of the dirty chai latte if you want a chilled beverage! read more

The guy working tonight made me the wrong drink and when I asked for a new one he rolled his eyes and said FINE I'll make you a fuc*ing new one then slammed it down and said have a nice day.

Bad matcha. Unfriendly service. No one smiles anymore? Super intimidating environment.

Terrible latte and terrible service. I ordered the seasonal lavender latte and it just tasted off. It wasn't smooth and light like I was expecting, and I binned it after a couple of sips. I also asked the barista when they would be rotating out the seasonal drinks and she replied with a scoff "um, next season". I followed up asking when that would be and the reply was "like, summer probably. It's just seasons - fall, winter, spring, summer". Considering the latte was awful, the employee was quite rude, and I still don't know when new drinks will be out, I definitely won't be coming back. read more

Listen. The girl who took our order was probably one of the most downright rude humans to walk this Earth. First, we waited in line for what seemed like an eternity...I mean. You have 28 people working and I need coffee, so I'll wait. Second, when I got up to order...I tell her that I'd like a cold brew with a splash of cream. She said, hemp? I said...cream. From that point forward, I received the worst service I have ever had at ANY coffee/restaurant establishment. She literally stormed and slammed the cup down to put the ice in the cup and said 'cream is on the counter.' My assumption is she's probably vegan and was pissed I ordered cream? I mean. Why else can a human be SO freaking downright rude. OH. My husband wanted coffee too, but the minute she threw that little fit...we decided to NOT support this business a second longer. Looking back, I should have walked out the minute she had her little meltdown. SO. Moral of story. Spend your $ elsewhere. This place doesn't deserve ANYONE'S service. read more
