Picked up a too good to go box for lunch and it was great! Walking in I was immediately heartened to see the sweetest man manning the counter offering folks to try things and explaining the food options which all smellt incredible. The other staff who was equally as kind and welcoming grabbed my box. It was packed full of mac and cheese, sausage, beans and some cooked cabbage. All very delicious too! There was a chimmichuri type sauce on the sausage that was INCREDIBLE. I will...read full review

Viva Cafe is a hidden gem in the district, known for offering excellent value for its prices. The food is outstanding, with dishes such as the BBQ shredded pork and the breakfast burrito being particular standouts. The owner, known as "V," is friendly and accommodating, showing warmth that is rare in today's world as he prepares meals fresh to order. The café is located inside the HSBC bank building, directly across from the Transamerica Pyramid, which can make it a bit tricky to find due to the lack of visible signage.
Prices start at around $7 for a full box that can make two meals, making it a great deal in the area. Customers have praised the fresh cooked breakfast bowl as a smart choice over typical hotel breakfasts. The café features a small seating area in the lobby, with room for about five people, though only one table is suited for an individual diner. The meal experience is efficient, with options to select items and generous portions provided. The employees create a warm and welcoming vibe, despite the grab-and-go nature of the place.
Recently, customers have shared their delight in the hearty meals offered at great prices, with one reviewer mentioning a generous portion of rice, beans, vegetables, mac & cheese, and salmon that was tender and flavorful. Another guest enjoyed a King Crab Salmon Salad, noting its deliciousness and healthiness. Vegetarian options are also available, ensuring that everyone can find something tasty. Overall, Viva Cafe stands out as a quick and easy spot for a satisfying meal.
