I stayed at an Airbnb close by during my stay in Seattle. We stopped by this coffee shop in the morning to fuel up for our day exploring the city. It was such a warm and cozy cafe, and they had such a unique menu of offerings. Service was efficient and they were helpful. We all ordered the special latte - pistachio cardamom. It was very well done. It tasted sweet but not too overwhelming. We also ordered a few pastries to share: blueberry cornmeal muffin, raspberry lemon coffee cake, and spinach cheese bun. They had small cups with free samples of a squash bread that we all tried as well. The free bite of squash bread was actually my favorite. The raspberry and blueberry pastries were a bit dry, I probably wouldn't order again. Overall, it was a charming spot and a nice coffee to start our day read more

Caffe Vita Fremont - Pistachio cardamom lattes (2 hot, 1 iced), spinach cheese bun, blueberry cornmeal muffin, raspberry lemon coffee cake. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a true neighborhood spot, with elegance. There's a friendly vibe, the sense of neighbors catching up as they wait in line for their lattes. I also think it has the best coffee in Greater Fremont. (Sorry, Milstead.) They roast their own beans and do a great job. I appreciate the Italian dark-roast style, which is less tart than most. The space is bright, crisp, and clean, with a great corner location and excellent outdoor seating, when sun permits. Fremont Roasters and Vita are both Upper Fremont institutions. This is the fancier one. read more

I come here once or twice a week and the staff are always kind and make an effort to remember my past orders. The coffee is not cheap, but it's excellent quality and I love their unique latte options. They also almost always have a gluten-free pastry or two from Macrina, plus a selection of juices that are great when a vitamin boost is needed. Stopping in here always brightens my day :) read more

Was served a borderline cold latte. Not sure how that happens. When you wait so long for a coffee you expect it to be top notch quality. Quite disappointing. Many better cafes in the area, especially up on the Phinney Ridge! They also don't accept cash. A horrendous policy that businesses seem to be adopting. For the record the only people harmed by this policy are low income people who may not have a bank account but may have a few bucks for a cup of coffee. Will not be returning. read more

First time visiting the Fremont location early Sunday morning. The barista working was an amazing, joyful, cheerful being. They were patient, helpful with recommendations and all-around cool. At 8am on a Sunday? Yes, this is what customer service means/is and it isn't dead, it's alive and well at Vita on Fremont ave. I wish I had gotten their name, but you know who you are. I had a very fruity, crisp brewed coffee which was maybe from Nicaragua. Scone was good, the restaurant is spotless and inviting. Coffee date? Come here. read more

I've been to Caffe Vita Fremont countless times pre Yelp. I'm surprised that I've never posted a review. However, after picking up a book order at nearby Book Larder, I decided to spend some time onsite at this popular indie OG coffee roasting & cafe chain (8/4/24). Great crafted beverages, pastries, light bites, coffee beans, and other merch. Ample seating inside via table or counter and also outdoor sidewalk seating, very popular on sunny days! Lots of natural light and healthy plants while onsite. Upbeat, very friendly barista during this visit and similar experiences recalling several previous visits. Thankfully no bad stereotype of hipster, standoffish types. I've enjoyed that this is also a cafe where one can sit awhile, which I did. I was able to catch up on some Yelp stuff and emails while I enjoyed my iced mocha and Olivia's Chocolate Chip Cookie (from Macrina) - perfect on National Choc Chip Day! I also got to see lots of neighborhood doggos out on walks with their pet parents. Pleasant exchanges overhead with others stopping in with the barista mentioned. Enjoyable detour and recommended when visiting the upper portion of Fremont Ave N's stretch of retail and food businesses. read more

Great code spot. Was in town on vacation and it was nice to go a coffee shop that wasn't Starbucks

What's not to like? Small, local espresso shop with enthusiasts committed to doing it right. Love the chill vibe, and the Fremont locals doing their thing. read more

Caffe Vita Fremont - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm surprised this place has poor reviews. I discovered it since I started going to the yoga tree recently and it turned into a ritual for me to go here after yoga. I love their cappuccino and cortado. I ordered a 8 ounce latte recently which turned out to be more like a 12 ounce and too milky for me, so I asked the main barista and she gladly switched it out for a 6 ounce latte which was perfect! I really appreciated her service and how nice and smiley she was. I will find out her name and update it here:) prices are almost $6 for a cappuccino with tax, which seems to be normal price in Seattle these days unfortunately. Oh I also love all the free and paid events that are advertised on the bulletin board, I discovered an event that I'd love to attend soon:) read more

Since I live nearby, it's a place that's convenient to go to in the mornings when I don't feel like making my own caffeine fix. The staff here is super friendly. The coffee quality is consistent with other Caffe Vita's - I'm personally fine with the roasts and beans, but I come mainly for the friendly staff and ample seating in the morning. I like that Vita has rotating seasonal drinks too! read more

Fast Wi-Fi, light, airy interior with huge south-facing windows. Nicely finished woodwork throughout. Tried their new Goldenmilk latte = oat milk, maple syrup, turmeric, cinnamon. Ginger, mushroom extract, Himalayan salt (un-caffeinated) which might be my new favorite. read more

A cute corner cafe in a good strip of Fremont! The beverages are expensive but it's a nice treat once in a while. We came in the morning and there were some people sitting (but we just got to go). I tried a seasonal beverage (the earl grey fog - it had earl grey tea, lavender bitter bits, coconut cream, and oat milk). This was DELISH!! It was a little sweet so actually I diluted it with extra water (because I didn't have milk) when I got home where I finished the drink. The tea bag actually had a few more rounds of tea before it lost flavor so arguably good bang for buck! The buck being $6.50 for a 12oz (which is technically still $$) My partner got a regular latte and the latte art on this was quite nice! Overall, we'd definitely swing by again if we're feeling another treat but there are also so many other good coffee shops near-ish that I also want to try other shops! read more

Caffe Vita Fremont - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Your average neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is decently acidic which I don't like. I do appreciate their creative concoctions, however miso caramel latte was not my cup of tea. The miso was overpowering but I can see how some might like it. read more

-1. Accomodations & Ambience. -1. Options. -1. Food +1. Price. +1. Customer Service. Background. As part of visiting roaster cafes, I stopped into the Fremont neighborhood Cafe Vita. First, let's state that this is a space geared towards getting in and out and doesn't want you to spend time there. There is limited seating, and the overall floor plan is more geared as a takeout spot. So, reconsider if you're looking for a casual spot to relax and read, meetup for a conversation, or other pursuits that need a lot of room. Arriving, I was too early for the 7 am start time, which is a bummer. I mean, sure, most people aren't until 8 or 9. Still, it would be nice for those who rise with the sun to have a place to get coffee. Entering is also a bit of a mess with only one entrance, and it will fill up quickly at the counter. Reviewing the drink menu, I asked if they offered pour over, french press, or other on-demand brew options of their coffee. They do not. Odd, since this, after all, a roaster cafe. Instead, it was more of same I've experienced at other roaster cafes, drip of the day (two in this case) or espresso-infused drink recipes. So, I settled, and it wasn't what I wanted. Food options? Nah, apparently their supplier was late, so donuts. Sitting down, I sat at 1 (maybe) two person space, and it felt confined. Looking around, I saw tall ceilings and a large table in the back. My drink over, I walked out and decided this wasn't the place for me. So, if you're someone who wakes up after 7 am, is not asking much how your coffee tastes or its origins, then this is your place. If you're like me, one who wants to try a roaster's coffee before spending $25 per bag, then this isn't your roaster. Go elsewhere. As always, your individual experience will vary. read more

Everything I want in a neighborhood cafe. The latte is delicious and people are friendly especially Amy who is always warm and welcoming. The coziness of the shop helps me relax and unwind. Starting this month they are hosting the Silent Book Club once a month. Next one will be 7/25 and I will definitely be there again. read more

When in Seattle.... Fremont is always one of my faves!! A couple years ago I was in Seattle for my favorite band, The 1975, but i was waiting for the meet & greet. Caffe Vita was across the street from the little place I was at. I can't remember what I got but i loved it. We got there very early so i had for a hot drink first & later in the day got an iced latte which was also wonderful! Planning a trip soon, can't wait to come back! read more

Great mocha, friendly service, cute interior. We really liked this spot. They even do individual coffee art on top, not just the same design for every order- which I don't require but was a nice touch. Will visit again! read more

There were only a few folks there (it was a nice sunny day on July 5, so maybe people were out celebrating the end of pandemic restrictions) so the service was pretty fast. Several tables were free so we plopped down to wait for my drink to cool down. Drinks: we got a cold brew and a pacnor. The cold brew was above average but nothing spectacular. I say this only because we were using Eater's June 16 list of Seattle shops for cold brew, and Caffe Vita was on it. Don't be like us and plan a trip around this drink. But if you happen to be in the area (like checking out the awesome Book Larder across the street), the cold brew ain't bad. I ordered the pacnor as I had no idea what it was. It's definitely like a cortado (so less milky than a latte) but with some half-and-half instead. The barista gave me a heads up that it's only a 6oz, which I liked as anything bigger might've felt too heavy. It was good, with a strong espresso flavor note and enough dairy to remove the bitterness without sticking to the tongue. They had some a few outdoor seating options, and wifi! I can see this place being popular with those that might bring in their laptop and hog a table for hours, but right now that doesn't appear to be happening yet. read more

I go to cafe vita every weekend and each time I love it. The service is great and same with the food. And when it's a hot day they have air conditioning. Highly recommend this place to others. Otis, age 7 read more

I really enjoy Caffe Vita. They have a great walk up window, which is very helpful in Covid times, and they have great online ordering as well! Their coffee is tasty. The reason for deducting one star is that sometimes when we've ordered, their drip coffee has been cold or only mildly warm. It really should be hot. And another dedication for their pastries not being very good or fresh. Overall I'd recommend the coffee or Americano but skip the pastry! read more

Caffe Vita Fremont - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here for their tea after having Paseos right across the street. My friend and I were pretty full so we needed something to help us digest. Of course I had to order a green tea. Fusion mint green tea - very refreshing. Body felt refreshed and cool. Tangerine tea - wasn't too overpowering. Sweetness from the tangerine was just right. Kinda disappointed how they didn't have cup sleeves. We had to ask for two cups to layer the cup of tea with because it was HOT. Didn't try their coffee, but will definitely come back to try it next time I come visit, but all I can tell you is the tea here is not bad at all. read more

Overall: A solid cafe to work from in a surprisingly sparse part of Fremont (cafe wise). The good: The kind of cafe that welcomes workers and allows you to stay for hours on end, which is amplified by their free WiFi and plenty of outlets while still having a local charm. The coffee is good and the baked goods are fresh and delicious (even though they don't seem to be made in-house, but I could be wrong). The staff is friendly and the place is clean and artsy. We came multiple days in a row and got a ton of work done! The not-so-good: The music was too loud on both days that we worked there. It wasn't bad music, but it certainly didn't help when we had to be on work-related calls. Food/drink: 8.5/10 Atmosphere: 8.5/10 Service: 8.5/10 read more

Don't get turned off by the rating for Vita, those reviews are super old. This place consistently makes great coffee and has great service! I get a drip/light roast usually but their mochas are the best - not too sweet! And if you're lucky they'll practice their latte art skills on your drink (see photo) read more

One of my favorite coffee shops to work from! It's not a very "central" location, but it's in a nice part of Fremont and surrounded by quite a few nice lunch/dinner spots. It's a small(ish) space, but I usually have luck finding a table or a window seat in the bar-like seating area. The other great thing is that you can frequently see cute dogs in the coffee line. I haven't interacted with the baristas much, but they all seem to be pretty nice... and they make delicious drinks! They also carry DRY Soda (love!) and kombucha, so I don't always end up getting coffee drinks here. They have some good pastries, but my favorite item is the eggplant piadina. I fell in love with it when I worked near the Queen Anne Caffe Vita, and I love getting it here whenever I'm hungry. read more

Smooth Americano -- and a mega chill vibe. Loved the welcoming and relaxed vibe the baristas have here. Casual spread of shortbread and filled cookie samples certainly helped ease me into the coffee mood. Coffee was served piping hot in two cups so my hands wouldn't burn--greatly appreciated! It's the little things dude! read more

This was a pretty average coffee shop. Its aesthetic is pretty legit as a café. What makes the corner cafe stand out is how its walls are taken up by its windows. I visited around 3-4PM and the place was welly-lit by natural lighting. They also have an assortment of French presses sold at the front as well as other caffeine-oriented gadgets. My order of caffeine was just okay. I had a latte and it wasn't anything special. read more

tldr: Solid neighborhood coffee shop. Standard drink menu and fresh baked goods. Personable baristas. Caffe Vita is a convenient coffee shop for those in North Fremont. The drinks are standard. Fresh baked goods in the showcase every morning. Sitting area is limited, but lots of light. No loud music makes this a nice spot to hunker down for work. read more

Great just the way it is hip hop playing right now however a few couples and solos hanging out here on their computers other than that not much chatting happening in here. So you can get work done and the Clinking from the baristas is like added sounds to the beats. The gals were friendly however they should be given more smiles too this is what I think would brighten the expressions on all the customers faces. Come in with Curiosity, a smile and leave Open and lifted. read more
