My new FAVORITE breakfast & lunch spot -- Café ViVi is an absolute hidden gem!!…read more I actually discovered Café ViVi while visiting the Games Workshop next door, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like family. They go out of their way to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back again and again. The food is unreal. If you're a chili fan, this place is a MUST-visit -- they have FOUR different house-made chili options that increase in spice level, and each one is fantastic. And if you love French toast, do yourself a favor and order the flaked French toast... you will not regret it. Pro tip: try the off-menu chili tater tots at least once. Get the second-hottest chili and load up the toppings -- seriously incredible. The décor has a great local farm-to-table vibe, there's a full bar, and TVs to catch games while you eat. It somehow feels cozy and lively at the same time. Honestly, this might be the best-kept secret in the county -- but it shouldn't stay a secret. More people need Café ViVi in their lives. Go check it out!

I've been to a few cat cafes, but this one was different from the rest--much more calm, and the staff member in the cat area was great about letting us know factoids about each cat my wife and I interacted with. They were also gentle but firm reminding people about the rules that keep the cats safe, which I really appreciated because I really don't like to see parents letting their little ones smack cats with toys or chase them around. Plus this cafe is affiliated with Best Friends, which is a great rescue organization.

You can make an appointment to mingle with the cats and get some much needed cuteness with or without committing to taking one home with you. We decided to just watch from the lounge since our toddler is still a bit young and we wanted to keep the cats safe. Service was really friendly and helpful when selecting drinks. I got a banana matcha that was one of the best I've had in the area. Great flavor and not too sweet. My husband loved his cappuccino as well. We got my son a vanilla bean donut and he really enjoyed it. As a momma, I appreciated that it wasn't sweet. Loved this place for the great drinks and super cute experience. Will definitely be going back when I'm in town.

We both ordered a soy cappuccino and it was delicious. I am guessing it was a light roast because I didn't have to add any sugar! Really cute place. Lots of comfortable places to sit inside and outside. Clean bathroom for customers. Only thing worth mentioning is it got a little warm and stuffy inside while we were there, but I survived. :) I will definitely go back again. Really interested to try their ice desserts, pictures look yummy!

It's just a lil hidden in the corner. I'm glad bc it's def gonna become one of my go-to's now. Ive been here twice and it def gets busy around lunch time, not many seats were available when we went here around 12pm. But I'm glad business seems to be doing well bc it's a cute place. Cozy little spot with great food and bingsu! They absolutely nail the fluffy snow-like texture of Korean shaved ice. Portions are pretty big so I'd say stick to either getting food or shaved ice bc I have a pretty big appetite but couldn't finish either! And it's a lil hard to store bingsu in the freezer since it's prone to becoming completely frozen if you leave it in there too long. It won't have the fluffy melt in your mouth texture anymore. So eat as soon as your can even if you take it to-go (they pack them in drink cups with lids if you order to-go). I've had the matcha, Oreo, mango, and original flavors. They're all good but I'd rank original last bc I was expecting a lore more injeolmi powder like ive seen in pics + the flavors were too subtle for me (I did order with oat milk however so that can be where I went wrong). I'd say Oreo was my fave of all that ive tried. Only the ones with a white base are available with dairy-free options btw, so matcha and Oreo can't be made dairy-free. They appear to have seasonal flavors as well. The panini was very good. My partner called it prob the best smelling sandwich he's had LOL. I'm excited to try their drinks and other sandwiches next time!

They also have amazing matcha imported from Japan. There is truly nothing here you can go wrong with. I would give it six stars if I could.

My wife got a bagel breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and spinach, and really enjoyed it. The coffee was tasty and really hit the spot. The staff was really friendly and always smiling. What really stood out was the patrons. I saw college students, construction workers, and people in suits all coming in here. Some greeted the staff, offering a clue that they were likely regulars. To me, that's a great sign of a solid establishment. If there are people from all walks of life coming in here regularly to get their breakfast fix, you've got to be doing something right.

Burrito had lots of potatoes which I had to remove and hardly any bacon. Basically used the potatoes to stuff the burrito. Also had a Chai latte. Was good, but most of the cup was the foam, so only just under 3/4 of the drink was actual liquid. My personal experience was pretty mediocre, which saddens me as this seems to be a mom and pop establishment. I hope others have a better experience than I do.

The location makes it easy to grab coffee and breakfast without having to go far, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The pastries were surprisingly amazing and definitely a highlight. I also ordered a latte, which was smooth, creamy, and well made. The only downside is the pricing, as items are noticeably more expensive compared to most local coffee shops. That said, the quality and convenience make it a solid choice, particularly for hotel guests.

The cups were what sold me, but I forgot to get the cute sleeves, which was a little disappointing. However, the line was insanely long, and it took us over an hour just to pick up our coffee. I tried the Banana Cloud Latte because I've heard good things. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it surprised me and I really enjoyed the flavor. We also got the La La Latte and the Upside Down Latte, which were both equally good and tasted more like caramel. We tried a couple croissants as well. They were decent, not the best I've had. The almond croissant was definitely better than the chocolate one. The almond filling was really buttery and soft, but the chocolate croissant was a bit too crunchy. Overall, the drinks were decent. However this place feels more like an aesthetic experience than anything else. I'd love to come back on a less busy day (if that exists) and try their matcha!
