Coffee, beer, pastries, Wi-Fi, quiet room, flyers/posters for local shows & events. The most wonderful staff, in my opinion; I've been going to Vivace for many years.

Goes without saying that good coffee and Seattle go hand in hand, but Vivace really do make great coffee But for the greatest espresso ever, visit their Sidewalk bar at: Espresso Vivace Sidewalk Bar 321 Broadway Avenue East Seattle, WA 98102

We had heard so many great things about Vivace so when we finally made it to Seattle we went, twice in two day! Both times we had great experiences and took coffee back to Canada with us. Cant wait to go again and buy more! Best espresso whipped cream and mochas ive ever had!

With amazing coffee being the norm in this city Vivace was hands-down the best. Try the beautiful Stephanie if you're all coffee'd out for the day.

I love going to seattle on business as you can get a great cup of coffee anywhere, as long as you avoid the big chains. I have been to most of the independent coffee shops over the years, but vivace is by far the best. The baristas are all artists at their craft. I now buy vivace coffee from their... More

This is owned by the guru of espressos David Schomer, someone who took espresso to the world surprisingly the coffee wasn't the best I ever had but it was one of the better ones, rating 8/10. The baristas are very good although don't know if they were complacent or my hopes were high which I felt led to it not... More

Very busy place with lots of interesting options of coffee. I usually have almond milk lattes but decided to step outside the box and try hemp milk which came highly rated ... and it was tasty!

If Little Red Riding Hood visited here, she'd say the beans were roasted "just right." And those beans make for very nice coffee and one of the smoothest cappuccinos you'll have anywhere. Whatever it is they do to the milk, it makes for one very silky cup of love. They also have a decent selection of baked goods and the... More

We had a lovely cup of espresso here, and an interesting cup of hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was made with a very good quality of unsweetened chocolate and steamed milk, no sweetner. Very tasty and a huge step up from the Nestle's instant we were served at another Seattle coffeehouse. Also had a delicious doughnut !
