This a great restaurant to enjoy quiet and work while enjoying great coffee and food. The level of service is great. They also play some solo artists during evenings although I did not attend those but the set up looked very good. Highly recommend for great drinks.

Vegetarian options: Great vegan and vegetarian options.

This is my first time to this place. I was invited by a friend. Atmosphere was great! I love the ambiance/ decor. I love the simplicity of how menu was written on a chalkboard and the affordability of the item. I ordered black tea and chocolate croissant! Both are yummy, such a delicious and delightful experience for my palate and of course my stomach. A jazz band was playing when we were here! Of course we enjoyed that so much too! I highly recommend this place. Visit this place when you get a chance.

I went to Caffe Vivace for one of their jazz shows out of curiosity. I had pretty low standards for what I was expecting, I just didn’t want to fall asleep, and all of that was blown out of the water. Service was super nice, more so than what you’d expect out of obligation. The music was fantastic and you could genuinely hear the craftsmanship and care of their music. Lastly their drinks were amazing, everything I asked for came out at a higher quality than I expected.

Parking: Plenty of street parking that is free on the weekends

2024 was our first time going to Caffe Vivace and we've already had the pleasure of attending two concerts there. On top of the world class musicians they bring in, the coffee was phenomenal. Their barista(s) are highly skilled and they clearly use high quality beans (although I am unsure of the roaster). My wife LOVES their almond croissants.

Just a quick note, they have a pretty limited menu for folks with a gluten intolerance like me. Not a deal breaker by any means. But I wouldn't be upset if they have some gluten free pastries the next time we go ?

We stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed everything. The atmosphere was relaxing and quiet enough to talk, with music playing softly in the background. The coffee, tea, and food were really good, and the service was fast and friendly. It was a great place to get together with friends and looked like a good place for a business/planning meeting, too.
