True hole in the wall coffee shop with simply the best coffee.

One of my favorite cafes in the city. I love their cappuccinos so much. Isabella and Kelsey are the best!! They deserve a raise and also they have the prettiest smiles 🤷‍♂️

Came in cuz of the great neon sign. Best decision of the week. The coffee was made by Et like it was an expensive cocktail, great roast and great seasonal flavor. Sat and had a chat. Cute place but the barista’s skill really puts it over the edge.

Some of the best coffee in NYC; I get all my beans from Caffe Vita. The orange madeleine latte is the best flavored latte I’ve ever had. The KEXP and Theo blends are particularly good.

I was visiting from out of town so it was my first time there… overall it was a great experience. Excellent cold brew here and a great vibe to get you going.

Had my favorite cup of cold brew in NYC here! The barista was warm and knowledgeable. They mentioned the beans are their Theo Blend in a medium dark roast in a coarse grind.

good hot coffee stays winning. stopped by Caffe Vita to grab an afternoon coffee to go. it’s a small coffee shop—very clean and neat cozy interior. i don’t think there are any inside seats bc space is limited but there are two standing ledges out for an al fresco java. the Americano i ordered was brewed hot, had that smoothed-out Expresso flavor, and gave me the caffeine kick i needed for the late afternoon push. service was friendly and chill. if you need some coffee on the Lower East Side, Caffe Vita has you covered.

Strong coffee game here 💯 I don't say that lightly as I'm a coffee snob. It's worth getting a coffee 'to go' and enjoy the tattoo'd, grunge vibes while you wait. Great experience.

I’ve walked by Ludlow Street countless times without noticing this coffee shop, despite them being in the same location for over 11 years. However, I’m glad I finally did today. The barista was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and professional. The coffee was truly excellent with an amazing aroma and taste. They even had a table outside with four seats, I believe. I guess this is my new favorite coffee shop in the Lower East Side.

So happy to find me go to cafe in Seattle in NY. Their latte was good but quite pricey for a 12oz. Next time I would get there 8oz so that the coffee to milk ratio is higher.

Great service, great coffee, great vibes! Also a good selection of canned non-coffee drinks in the fridge. Disclaimer: there is limited seating so more of a grab and go place but there are a few chairs + standing tables outside. Will be back 🤩

Energizing, friendly service and tasty coffee driven by a björk background soundtrack. A variety of light roasts are available for take-home, and the specialty rose cardamom latte is florally divine like no other. This impressive Seattle based cafe has a tiny bar-like feel, tastes even better in New York, & leaves you smiling.

Pretty tiny place but with great coffee. This location is more like a to-go spot. 🧡Yuzu espresso soda was an interesting one for a hot day. Have to say don’t think it as a coffee drink but more like a soda with rich flavor.

Hipster, classy atmosphere. Smells like the best coffee beans you’ll ever have. Sadly, no seats to loiter. Campfire mocha tastes OK but look much more extravagant. Would come for a REALLY nice cup of coffee.

Finally had the chance to grab coffee from @caffevita! I usually sit down and chat at cafés so I never got to go there even though I’ve been wanting to for months! The cold brew was really smooth and not too strong. Will try other coffee or espresso next time to make a better review!

Good coffee, friendly staff Atmosphere: small, cozy, air conditioned. Not a place to sit and hang out, but great to stop into Coffee: quality, well steamed milk for a flat white Staff: super friendly and helpful My vegan friend: stoked with the barista quality alt milks Food: we didn't try it. Pastries looked mediocre.

Cute little roasting house surfing hot and cold brews. Cold dripped served and gas system makes for a wonder deep cold brew. Please hit the like if you enjoyed the photos and review

cute coffee shop, great coffee, but the pastries are average. no dine-in, only take out.

The coffee here is pretty good. I usually pick up 2 bags of coffee beans to make on my own. Used to be able to get a coffee for free for getting a bag of beans, but now you only get $2 off a cup of coffee.

The coffee gets five stars but the staff’s attitude is a joke. Overheard things like “eww I bet he’s from Vermont” “why do people over 40 come here?” and “I bet he sleeps flat on his back with his mouth open” while waiting in line. Goes with the area sadly but takes the fun out of nice coffee.
