Caffè Vita New York Reviews
Lovely little coffee shop with great coffee and a cozy atmosphere. The baristas are friendly, and everything tastes fresh. Perfect spot to grab and go!
I dance every time I drink your coffee! Caffe del sol is my go to
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
