Best in Seattle

The Vivace kiosk may be the best people watching spot in Seattle. From gay boys strutting by after their cardio class, to wannabe hipsters trying to pose with their messenger bags, you'll see all of Seattle's finest here. I especially enjoy watching the Broadway street locals who tend to congregate here, and the awkward SU students who try to ignore them.

The drinks at Vivace may be the best in Seattle as well. Vivace is worthy of a beautiful written review. If I was a poet, I'd write some poetry about how good the white velvet with espresso whip cream is. But I'm not a poet, I'm just a realist who dosn't like paying $3.80 for a junk latte. Biggups to Vivace, even though your baristas are snobs.

World's Best Coffee!

I have traveled the world asa Pro Paintball Player and during these trips I search out the best coffees.
Sad to say but 27 countries and numerous cups of java later I find the WORLD BEST COFFEE in my back yard.
I personally roast my own beans and buy the raw beans from Vivace. Whenever I go Downtown I stop for a fresh mocha. They just make the best. The coffee art, the snobby service (the deserve to be snobby) and the delectable nectar of the God's.

You havn't lived until you have tasted their fare.
Peace

BEST SOY LATTE

I LOVE this coffee shop! It's got a great atmosphere and it's definitely not Starbucks. You can taste the difference. Trust me.

Snotty barista, no internet service from 8AM to 6PM

Wow. After hearing how great this place is, I decided to try it out. My favorite coffee shops in LA are Urth Cafe on Melrose, and the Coffee Bean. Visiting Seattle, I went with my laptop, as I looked online before hand that there WAS internet. I place my order from the SNOTTY barista and paid nearly $5.00 for a latte. She tells me, "Oh if you've never been here before, we're more expensive but worth it.

NOT so much.

I try to get online, and nothing. I go back and ask, and she says, We do not have internet on the weekends from 8AM to 6PM.

Um, this wasn't posted anywhere, and I really needed to get online!
The coffee was fine, but it really bothered me how rude the barista was, and there was no internet. I will never come back, and make sure that everyone in Seattle knows this snotty place is not worth it.

Extremely Rude Staff, Mediocre Latte

Espresso Vivace is a probably not going to last in Seattle if the staff remains rude (I have read other reviews commenting on this) and the espresso remains mediocre and over priced. Seattle is a place where people are typically very nice and there is an air of happiness and equality. But on a recent trip to Vivace I was met with the most condescending barista I ever hope to encounter. Taking your job seriously is great, but being rude is never in style or professional. His attitude was so humiliating that I walked out of the store and 1/4 mile to the next coffee shop. I have been to Vivace a few other times because it is very close to my house. The latte's are mediocre. Needless to say, I do not recommend Vivace.
