    What a great place to get breakfast downtown Allentown on a Saturday morning. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast sandwiches, and great cold brew coffee on tap! Great atmosphere felt fun and warm with comfortable barrel furniture.

    My family and I were so blessed by our first ever visit to La Vida Café! Eli, the smiling and friendly owner, was so gracious to us. We felt so welcome as his guests, and the food was absolutely delicious!! That was in large part due to Andris, who I could tell really cared about preparing amazingly good plates of tasty food. If you want excellent food (and amazing coffee!) that is prepared by the friendliest guys in town, please visit and experience for yourself. And please say hello to my new friends when you do!

    Was my first time at La Vida Café. The experience was great. The employees Joey and Eli are very friendly and welcoming. The vibe was chill and the ambiance was cute. The food was very very good - I got the 7th Burger and my sister got the 4th Burger - they were both really tasty. Highly recommend visiting them for food and coffee. Side note - Love their signs about gratitude and kindness.

    Ingredients were fresh. Breakfast sandwiches looked and tasted amazing. Espresso was good and hot. Staff were friendly and helpful. I highly suggest starting your day off at La Vida Cafe. They had lots of lunch items as well that looked just as good. I’ll probably go back for lunch tomorrow.

    Eli, Joey, Laura… the best people I’ve ever met. The food is absolutely amazing. Every morning calls for ice vanilla latte! Favorite menu item is the rose garden on a bagel. You will love anything on the menu here, seriously!

    Very sweet and kind servers. It was fast and fresh! I love avocados and this was really good. The roasted tomatoes were very flavorful! Perfect choice for a healthy, and lighter breakfast option. I would recommend if you are in the area!

The establishment is very clean, and the service was fast, and the staff was polite ! I actually at their twice this week! I highly recommend you check them out!

    It's my first time here and it was great food with a great atmosphere. Omelet was soft and tasty(I got turkey, spinach, and onion in it) The coffee was excellent. All staff were very nice and considerate. I’d like to visit again and try the Avocado toast.🙂

    Loved the atmosphere here! Was a very friendly welcome to a relaxed coffeehouse setting where you'd be comfortable reading a book, getting some work done or relaxing by yourself, with a friend or quaint date location. Food was great and the café was on point! Thank you all for a wonderful lunch! I am always prone to ask what is good at new places and they were great at helping me figure out the right option for me!

    Stopped in today 05/10/2023 for brunch. I ordered the South West salad. Oh my lord, that salad was good. Everything was fresh. The dressing is made in-house (which isn't too common anymore). The dressing light and not spicy at all. Every time I order a Southwest salad at other restaurants, it comes with an abundance of beans, and the dressing is from a bottle. This salad had the perfect amount of toppings, in my opinion. The salad is average price 12.50. The protein is an extra cost. I believe I paid about 3.75 for chicken. Which I think is a great price. The chicken was extremely moist and flavorful. It didn't taste like the cardboard chicken most restaurants put on their salad. It comes with one dressing. If you need another dressing, there is an extra cost. Most people only need one dressing. The salad was huge! I honestly couldn't finish it. The staff was friendly and accommodating The only Con is the tables are small. Great for lunch and all breakfast, Overall 10/10 would recommend. I'll drive down from the Poconos again.

    Food was one of the best ever. I got the rose garden on everything bagel, it wa so beautifully made and delicious. Love the ample vegetarian options!! The coffee could be better - the vanilla latte I got wasn’t very flavorful, more like a normal latte. Love the ample seating and great place to do work for the day. Will recommend and be back :))

    The food was delicious! I got a panini and the bread had the perfect crunch. The flavor and quality of their products are amazing. Also the employees are so friendly and helpful. This is my new favorite coffee place in Allentown. 10/10

    Went here for the first time and was not disappointed. The Phantom breakfast sandwich was delicious and my salted caramel latte hit the spot perfectly. Was a bit sad they didn't have nitro or cold brew prepped but was overall happy with my second choice and will definitely return to try again.

    The service and prices were reasonable. They have outdoor and indoor seating, inside is really cozy but not much seating. Service was At, Joey (?) Was very nice and knowledgeable. Everything taste perfect, had a hit chai latte and a really good pesto egg sandwich.

    I ordered The Rose Garden on an everything bagel & it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Didn't take a picture but it was beautiful, too. The spinach and pesto were on point. Tried the dark roast coffee and it was excellent, as well. Highly recommend this place. The food, the coffee, and the atmosphere were just what I was looking for while passing through Allentown.

    Absolutely phenomenal staff, they were very friendly and formative. It was our first time in Allentown, we decided to stop by because of the raving reviews and we were delighted to see they were all true. Great ambiance, great music, great food, great coffee. The hash browns were perfectly crispy. If you’re around this area, definitely stop by!

    Wonderful experience at La Vida! Food is absolutely above average for a “Cafe”. We got an iced latte and a hot cappuccino and both were great. Food was awesome, we got The Phantom sandwich, Fries, and an omelette. We will be back!
