This coffee shop is in a beautiful building with an amazing roof and their breakfast sandwiches and their bowls are delicious, we went for two days in a row and had the exact same thing. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside for me was that their cappuccino has a double shot of espresso in a 12 oz cup, so it was more like a latte, not what I would expect for a specialty coffee shop. read more

Vita has open seating,Solid fresh breakfast options, good service and pretty good lattes and matcha. For sure one of the better breakfast and coffee spots in Sandusky. Prices are fair, overall solid read more

Once again, Yelp came to the rescue while visiting Sandusky from Columbus over the holidays. I was near the water on an early morning and I was not going to make the drive home without some caffeine. After a quick search, I found Vita, not too far away. Score! I arrived to find a super unique building right off Columbus Ave and free parking out front. When I walked in I discovered that not only does Vita offer coffee, but they also serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, have a small market, a bar, tons of great seating options (love the lounge area) for coworking and during my visit, there were Christmas decorations everywhere. It was rather magical and unexpected. Very cool. While the service was a bit slow, the ladies behind the counter were busting butt. I ordered two lattes with almond milk to-go and both were thoroughly enjoyed (no they weren't both for me, lol). It was also surprising how long my latte stayed warm. Their eco-friendly to-go cups are solid. I definitely anticipate another visit to Sandusky in my future and when that day comes, I might just have to swing by for a drink. *Wink wink* read more

This place was so spectacular. We went here to close out our Sandusky trip with a quick breakfast and it exceeded our expectations. Their coffee list was extensive, and we all love our coffee so we were excited. We all ordered different things and tried it all - it was some of the best coffee we'd ever had! The flavors were perfect and so creative, the coffee itself was also tasty. The service from every single person there was above and beyond. They took their time to give recommendations and explain things and we felt very comfortable asking questions. We ordered 4 breakfast sandwiches, 2 danishes, biscuits and gravy, beignets, and the coffees, and the total was still under $80. It was truly such a beautiful place and we are so happy we stopped in. The food was good, none of it was anything super wowing but still very yummy and worth it. The bagel sandwich was my personal favorite, as well as the danishes. The croissant sandwich was good, although a bit oddly sweet, same for the biscuits and gravy. The beignets were just okay. Overall we enjoyed it here and are sad we aren't locals so that we could come more! read more

It's lovely inside. There are plants. They sell grocery store items like milk and whole cartons of soy milk. But there was nothing good to eat or drink at all. And it was warm inside. And the staff member was indifferent and couldn't answer questions about the food. read more

Vita - Mmmm, sodium benzoate. Mmm, high fructose corn syrup. Mmm, artificial flavoring. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Quality and Atmosphere: The salted caramel latte I got with oat milk is delicious!!!! The atmosphere of the coffee shop is beautiful! The ceiling and lounging areas looked like something out of a movie! Price: For a medium it was $6.01 so a little pricey but that is honestly the normal price for a latte right now (ya inflation!!). Service: The person who served me was kind and was helpful when I was ordering!!! I was impressed with how quickly I was served. read more

So disappointed! I have recommend Vita to friends both local, domestic and international. Yesterday, based on my recommendation, a friend took her granddaughter to lunch at Vita. I joined them, but just for a coffee. The waitress asked us to seat ourselves and said she would bring water. I went to the coffee bar for my coffee. The young lady talked to another worker the entire time her only break from talking to the other worker was to talk on the phone. After 15 minutes, she got my order wrong. I just took it as I didn't want to try again for another 15 minutes of being ignored. When I got back to the table my friend and her granddaughter were still waiting for water even though people who came in later had their water. The staff talkers continued to talk to themselves and my friends food order was wrong. It was a very disappointing experience all the way around. So sad as this is a fabulous venue with so much potential. Unfortunately it's staffed with people who don't understand customer service. Absolutely bummed. Ambiance continues to be amazing. read more

What a beautiful place an old bank turned into a restaurant. The food was spot on. The waitress was new so she did forget a couple of things like silverware napkins, and one of our guest food. When we asked for the above she got it fast. Some more training would be helpful for this young lady. read more

This place is very aesthetic and the coffee is really good! Also the staff are very sweet and the service is fast!

Their strawberry oat milk milk tea was amazing the waitress was really nice over all the service was great. My sandwich was good overall.

The first thing you'll notice when you walk into Vita is the absolute beauty of the physical building. The space is huge, with soaring ceilings, enormous windows with lots of light, beautiful chandeliers and evidence of touches of real elegance from days gone by. Vita is a coffee shop, market, full bar bistro, and restaurant in one, and while in some environments this would all feel disjointed or confusing, in this particular space, it works. I ordered the Vegan Taco Flatbread, essentially vegan meat & cheese, romaine, onion, tomato, and salsa atop a flatbread. Despite its seeming simplicity, the dish was really tasty. The bread used for the flatbread was out of this world, equal parts soft & pillowy while crisp & crunchy, the vegan meat & cheese added a bit of an indulgent factor that created texture and flavor, and the veggies on top were incredibly fresh and bright, with the salsa bringing everything together, adding some acidity and mild heat. I was pleasantly pleased, to say the least. read more

We had an amazing lunch with great service. This was my 2nd visit and now my official favorite restaurant in Sandusky. I ordered the Beef Wellington soup: the meat was tender and just right for a soup and the broth was layered with flavors. I had for main course the prosciutto flatbread which has puréed flatbread, bleu cheese, prosciutto and arugula. If you like a variety of flavors, this flatbread is for you. If you like a variety of textures with your food, this flatbread is for you. For a beverage, I had water and Irish Crème mule. The mule was mixed just right, not too strong not too light. read more

The chicken caesar wraps, croissant sandwiches (delicious sauce) & the hamburger flat bread were delicious. The ambiance was great, along w/ our server! read more

This is a cute little restaurant! It has like a 3 in 1 type of deal. Coffee shop, artisan market and bistro. I mean you could get a cup of coffee, glass of wine, and some food. Whatever you pleasure is! It's downtown, very spacious, and the customer service is great. Very warm and welcoming. I ordered a glass of moscato wine and the charcuterie board which has been voted the best in town for the past several weeks. The look is very chic and the atmosphere is casual. I recommend stopping here if you're ever in Sandusky, OH. read more

An old bank turned into bar, convince store, coffee shop and more. For the locals or anyone visiting the Sandusky area this place is amazing. Our bartender was funny and kept the drinks flowing. We enjoyed light appetizers and their dessert special. The next day we stopped by for morning breakfast bagel sandwiches and coffees. We grabbed beers Togo and checked out their wine selection. read more

When I first found Vita a couple of summers ago, I loved it! Great coffee, nice people, and a really cool location. However, recently quality has gone down. The people are still nice but the coffee just isn't good. There is a lot of variety, but have been disappointed with my simple coffee orders. read more

So much promise when we walked in yet ended in disaster. When we entered this place we thought it was a really cool looking place. Maybe a former bank building or something. That's where the promise ended... TLDR was we ordered about $400 in food which were mains, salads, and a few appetizers. Fast forward an hour and a half later and still no food. The server never even came back to check on us to ask if we wanted more water, drinks etc. Finally received our apps at the 1:45 hour mark which ended up being frozen pretzels. Then at the 2 hour mark we received our salads, but only some of us while others didnt arrive. This followed by some dinner rolls that literally were frozen in the middle. At about 2:15 hours we finally told them we were done and leaving. Never saw the mains and at this point we were done. The wait staff was inattentive and frankly rude. If you come to Sandusky do yourself a favor and don't go here. What a joke. Shame on you Vita. We ended up going to the grocery store for $1.29 frozen burritos since we wasted so much time at Vita that we were starving at that point and missed the window to go to other nearby restaurants. read more

The coffee and breakfast sandwiches are amazing! And the cocktails are delicious. Make sure to try their homemade lavender lemonade! My favorite food is the prosciutto Mac and cheese! Staff is always friendly and the ambiance is a great vibe. This used to be an old bank and the restoration is beautiful with a gorgeous high ceiling! read more

Vita - There's a full bar and menu and also a little grocery store with fun snacks and drinks you can buy! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Delicious food. The mixed mushroom flatbread is the best I've found. The service is wonderful and the ambiance couldn't be more charming. It's a gorgeous building and worth the visit just to see how beautiful it is. But don't just stop with looking at the building. Sit down and enjoy the food! Great drink options, too! read more

I am newer to the Sandusky area and happened to stumble upon Vita as I was walking downtown. Their coffee is always hot and fresh and their breakfast sandwiches are delicious! If you're looking for the most refreshing drink, then you MUST get their lavender lemonade! The building was formerly a bank, so the ceilings give you a piece of the building's history! read more

Vita - Full bar where you can have their famous lavender lemonade! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Gorgeous space and all the food is delicious. I especially love their mushroom flatbread!!

Just a building alone is worth making a stop. It's a converted bank building and has beautiful ceilings! You can get coffee beverages or head to the bar for a craft drink. They also have some food items to order and then also local gifts and quick pick up convince pantry items. The Lavender Lemonade is delish!! Worth a stop if you are downtown for a beverage! read more

Stopped by here a few times for coffee drinks (pretty average...), but they are open later than typical coffee shops...finally decided to grab lunch. 45 minutes for a single to go sandwich. 1 sandwich. During the business lunch hour. Of the 4 tables actually sitting, every order waited, lots of looking at watches and it was uncomfortable. I realize staffing is an issue everywhere, but I actually asked how long when I ordered and she said just a few minutes - she never acknowledged I was sitting for almost an hour - a refill? A cookie? Anyways, the sandwich was fine. But not great and certainly not worth the wait. Also, 3rd time I've been there and the credit card machine was down. Make sure you take cash! read more

A Great place for medium or small gatherings. A renovated historic building in downtown Sandusky. This spot is great for those who like a quiet "low key" spot. Great for early risers who like coffee or night owls who like a good night cap. Try the food on the menu for lunch. Whatever you do just make sure you enjoy the Atmosphere. The staff is always great and willing to deliver a pleasant experience plus conversation. read more

Had a group (14) luncheon in the "vault" as it is located in an old bank. The bank was converted into a coffee shop, bar/restaurant. Food was very good. Service was a bit slow due to only having 2 servers but they were very attentive. Would recommend. read more

food and service are both outstanding. the place is very comfortable and drink menu is al som different.

Visited last Friday for a drink with a friend. The atmosphere was nice. The staff was under enthused but attentive. Ordered 1 wine and one Kahlua and cream. Their credit machine was down - so I used cash. 34.00 worth of cash for 2 drinks and tip. Over the top for two drinks. read more

Very accommodating and friendly staff. The flat breads are amazing and I already want more. It is a cute building, very clean. I recommend visiting if you are in Sandusky! read more

This place seriously puts so much care into their menu. Every dish sources rich, vibrant ingredients. I've had lunch and breakfast at Vita, and both meals were insanely good. Plus, the atmosphere is just incredible. Not to mention that their coffee is delicious!! I've been in Sandusky for 12 years and this place absolutely blows some of the competition out of the water. You've got to give it a try!! read more

Very cool ambience in an old bank. I took my mom here for a glass of wine after dinner and we loved it as soon as week walked in. The young lady at the coffee counter was absolutely lovely; thank you! However, Austin should not be in the service industry. Simply rude and unwelcoming. I understand these are trying times, but his rudeness happened even before our drinks were poured. With that being said, yes, I WILL be back to this place. The food that we (saw) served looked amazing and hopefully the service will be from the welcoming young lady behind the coffee counter next time. I want to give 5 stars for the feeling of this place and 2 stars for service, but I can only click above. Sometimes, it only takes one glitch to make people not want to come back and hopefully this doesn't happen here again. I would love to see this establishment flourish for quite some time in this beautiful town. read more

Great atmosphere! Great food! Good coffee. Good place to relax and get some work done or meet a friend to catch up.

I'm giving this a 3 stars experience but would go back under the circumstances. We had a table of 7, most of us have been here recently, my first time. The building and architecture is incredible with dramatic ceilings, marble walls and the old bank vault in the back is facinating. The coffee shop is in the front, the bar and tables towards the back with a market environment on the center with some cool things you would normally not find. I bought the strawberry basil jam. We ordered a variety of drinks to include a bottle of wine personally selected from the wall. Beware of the $10.00 cork fee. The Wed flat bread special of your choice with a bottle of champagne for only $20.00 was a great deal. The 4 orders of flat bread was excellent and all served at the same time, impressive. I ordered the turkey avocado panini that was great, the ciabatta bread was soft and tasty. My freinds came back in specifically for the procuttio mac and cheese that was very disappointing. The dish had zero procuttio and very watery and bland, they sent it back. The final order was the chicken advacado salad, overall good but the kitchen forgot the advacado. Our server was nice, polite and did remove the mac and cheese from our bill. Overall I would give it a second chance. read more
