Espresso Vivace South Lake Union

Very disappointing , the pastries looks very simple. The coffee is not better than Macdonald but very expensive.

Stumbled across this cafe and love the coffee I got! I ordered the Nicho latte which is an orange and vanilla latte that was very well balanced as well as not too sweet. Not sure if it was me but next time I would fully stir the latte or possibly add another shot as it became very sweet towards the end. I would definitely come back to try other seasonal as well as my next working spot!!:) I love how they support other local businesses with using their syrups as well as making their sauces in house and they baristas

This is one of the best spots, featuring a beautifully designed blackboard menu with colorful chalk and excellent handwriting. A great place to relax and hang out with friends or family.

On our week long vacation in Seattle we frequently had iced mocha’s and scones every day. The quality is superb!
However the baristas lacked warmth and friendliness.
Surprised and taken aback as two coffees and two scones run about $30.00. We felt like they were doing us a favor to wait on us??

Espresso Vivace has been a Seattle staple for years. The Alley 24 location has cozy vibes, smooth lattes, and is a great place for a coffee break. 👍🏾

I never leave subpar reviews but the 12oz soy milk latte was surprisingly weak. All lattes are double shots but we could barely taste the coffee. Ended up buying another shot and it tasted much better. $12 all-in.

Great vibe and atmosphere + they give a mug for dining-in which is a really nice touch when most cafes have stopped doing that.

Went here because Fodor’s rated this as the best coffee in Seattle- and wow it did NOT disappoint! I had a shot of espeesso by itself- the crema was perfectly smooth and sweet. I also had an iced caffe caramel with hazelnut flavor which was worth every penny and did the job! Highly recommend this place to anyone! The baristas were very friendly and made us feel welcome and offered a shot of soda as a chaser for the espresso too even.

Awesome place to sit and hang out; it has a really cozy atmosphere and a good variety of seating, the coffee is great, and the baristas are always really friendly despite the sometimes huge line.

good, quiet music and a great place to do work! The Coffee and biscotti are very good

Excellent place to spend some winding down time. Highly recommend the white velvet or the caffe nico. The coffee cake is a must if you're able to get it
