    Great coffee. Always my first stop when I get into Seattle. So happy they have branches in NYC. Bushwick branch is really cool spot. The roast the beans right next door to the cafe. Service is awesome and they have a great selection of snacks to go with your coffee. I had this ginger and strawberry muffin, it was amazing. There's plenty of seating if need a spot to rest. There's plenty of charging stations as well. Along with the coffee and snacks they sell their swag merchandise. I kinda want their VITA cap. You can also pick up beans to go. It's located a bit away from the major strips like Knickerbocker. It's in a warehouse area. Super cool to walk around and look at the graffiti art. Thanks Caffe Vita for bring a bit of Seattle to NYC.

    I really love Caffè Vita, the service is always great, super friendly staff and the coffee and espresso drinks are fantastic. Latte is very smooth yet has a good espresso kick . I really like the fact that you can watch the process of roasting the coffee beans while you are waiting for your order. Highly recommend place.

    Caffe Vita’s Bushwick outpost is a rather excellent spot to sip a finely-made coffee, grab a baked treat, catch up with a friend, or just catch your breath after a non-stop paced day in the city. have been to Caffe Vita a couple of times and ordered a “Sevilla” each time…and both times hit the spot on particularly cold days. the quality coffee is quite flavorful with a touch of orange zest and finished with some coffee art. sometimes the simplest of coffee drinks is fills in the gaps of your day. the interior is pleasant and superclean—a decent amount of seating in the front and back; filled with various Vita merch; and dominated by a modern coffee bar where the brew magic happens. the service is pleasant and friendly. totally enjoyed chatting with the barista while deciding upon my first drink at Vita. while Caffe Vita is a Seattle transplant, the local vibe embodies that NYC spirit without any gruffness or aloofness. Vita has a charm of its own in Bushwick and i am glad this part of a Brooklyn is still on the rise.

    The place is great. Coffee is very good, but charging $1.25 for alternative milk in 2024 is crazy to me. A bunch of coffee shops stopped doing this or reduced the price for alternative milk price, not Caffe Vita apparently.

    Two blocks away from one of my favorite places for street art this is a true coffee shop. Got the camp fire mocha which was amazing.

    It's my first time and it definitely won't be the last, my husband and I bought a cappuccino and a hot apple cider, both were amazingly tasty, delicious, the flavor of the coffee was strong but mild, rich and easy to savor all the flavors in the cappuccino. 5 stars.

    Love this place. Hailey is such a delight, always very friendly and welcoming and professional. When I was at Vita earlier today, she handled a complex situation with such grace and tact, it made me glad to be a regular here.

    Nice surprise, we tried the Rose and the turmeric lattes, both were very good! The barista was super nice and knew what she was doing, managed the line and we didn't wait long.

  • 4/5 Nahrin A. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Got lots of work done here. The stressless cocoa was incredible!!! So much better than I thought it would be. Sweet baristas

  • 5/5 Symone P. 10 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    Popped in here quickly after pole class and I’m glad I did! It was a quiet Sunday afternoon. As soon as we walked in the baristas were attentive and helpful. We asked about the pastries and any recommendations. I ended up getting a ham and cheese pastry as well as a cookie latte. Both were good! Ill come back in next time I’m in the area! There was a small sitting area in the back that I’m sure you can sit down quickly if you need to get some work done.

    Coffee experience has been disappointing. Tried this place twice and didn't get a good vibe or like the coffee. Asked if they had iced coffee, they handed me a cold brew instead and didn't tell me till I asked why they did that. Not being honest with a customer ruins the experience. No plans to come back any time soon. Overpriced for subpar coffee. The cookies here are good though.

  • 5/5 David J. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb coffee. Great service.

  • 5/5 Veta B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is our daily spot. We love how relaxed and talented the baristas are at a delicious pull and perfect foamed milk — we drink their dark roast Luna at home — EXCELLENT — and then grab a shot and cappuccino at the shop. Always enjoy the people there too!

    Tiny spot with fantastic coffee and great staff. Everyone who works here is lovely, the drinks and customer service are consistent, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Favorite local coffee shop :)

  • 5/5 vivian c. 1 year ago on Google
    I discovered this little gem after working in the area for almost 2 years. It's a cute little cafe with really nice staff. So far I've only tried their lavender latte. It's really good.

  • 4/5 Wolf F. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this Coffeeshop. For over a decade, the only place to get an affordable toasted bagel, matcha, coffee or earthy muffin such as carrot ginger cream cheese bran muffins. Miss the pre covid days when a few people could sit inside

  • 5/5 Norberto P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great friendly baristas, always fresh coffee and their seasonal “campfire mocha” drink is bomb. Also try their cold brew, and the Sevilla drink if you want to try something different. I’ve never had a bad coffee here.

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Vita is one of the longest running coffee shops in Seattle and it’s never been better. I don’t think there’s a better coffee in town than Vita’s Del Sol roast - perfection!

  • 5/5 Ivan T. 6 months ago on Google
    Love love love love, did I mention Love this place. Coffee is amazing here. I get Lattes here all the time and it never disappoints. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the coffee. The prices are great. Just wish they had more pastry selection.

  • 5/5 Aja B. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite coffee hands down. This location is more spacious than the LES one, with ample tables and bar seating. Pastry cabinet always looks good. Came on a day they were serving King David Tacos. Service is always great

  • 5/5 Kevin C. 8 months ago on Google
    Been coming here for years, has always been a solid option in bushwick. Super cool that there’s windows into the roasting facility. Cold brew and espresso drinks all fantastic. Whole place has a sophisticated yet punk vibe 👍

  • 5/5 Nicholas T. 10 months ago on Google
    Hipster coffee joint in industrial East Williamsburg. Service is always good. Cortado is my go to, but you can't go wrong with anything. Have only ever eaten a croissant there but that was good as well

  • 5/5 Paul J. 11 months ago on Google
    Only a short walk from the Jefferson stop in Bushwick, this cafe is still easy to miss if you don't know it's there. We have been coming in every Saturday for delicious coffee and baked goods.

  • 5/5 Karol R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great quality coffee! Worth the walk to get your cup of happiness.

  • 5/5 Natalia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cool coffee shop. You can’t go wrong with the Miso Caramel Latte…not too sweet, but edgy and savory.

  • 5/5 Wasmiya T. 4 years ago on Google
    Good coffee in a super industrial neighborhood that’s on the verge of changing. My go tops includes: their signature pacnor, Kyoto (one of the few places that sell this slow drip cold brew), and cortado. You can also buy some bags of coffee that’s pretty good with a home espresso machine

  • 3/5 Jon W. 1 year ago on Google
    I unfortunately did not like the espresso at all but it was a much nicer experience to sit and have a quiet cup of coffee than others in the area.
