Tried out Caffe Vita for the first time on a Thursday late morning. The Easley Center parking lot was small (maybe about 20 parking spots total) but surprisingly packed, with just 1 parking spot fated for me. I was most interested in the black sesame latte (black sesame, honey, vanilla, garnished with sea salt) and cardi rose latte (rose water, cardamom, brown sugar, garnished with beet powder) from the Grounds of Love section of the menu. Per my barista's recommendation that the black sesame is the sweeter drink, I I opted for this one in a 16 oz! In general, this flavor might not be for everyone, but I loved the powerful (but not overpowering) nutty black sesame taste paired with the other flavors adding the rich sweetness to the coffee. Amazing flavor profile and perked me up to get back to my work day! The inside was open to enjoy the cool outside air and spacious with high tables, normal tables, a cough, self-serve water station, outlets, wifi. When I visited this first time, there was about a 60/40 split between people doing work vs socializing. I stayed just for a little bit, maybe about 20 minutes, but I would definitely come back to try more interesting specialty flavors while enjoying delicious coffee and a fresh breeze! Of note, while there are 2 individual bathrooms, they require a code of which you'd have to ask the barista for. Seems like a common occurrence in downtown Phoenix.
Came on the Car and Coffee event and it was great. Really cool vibe with rock music playing, there is an an open garage door so there is indoor and outdoor seating but open to the outside. Plenty of seats and tables. Everyone was super friendly! - Maple Bar Latte: yummy, sweet. Would get this again!
SO GOOD! my new go-to coffee shop!!! i get their nitro cold brew with black sesame cold foam and it's everything i could ask for and more. the coffee is so smooth and the cold foam is SO delicious (not an overwhelming black sesame taste, not overly sweet, just the perfect extra "something" to their coffee). their shop is large, bright, and airy - perfect for sitting around on a sunny morning/afternoon. the service is always genuine, kind, and fast. highly recommend this spot!
Stopped into Caffe Vita from a coffee crawl, and it was a great decision!! Greeted by a friendly barista who made an amazing drink, limited time only and glad we gave it a try! We ordered the pink peppercorn latte with almond milk, and the color was PERFECT!! Clean, cozy shop with a great theme. I will definitely be back!
Let's start with the customer service. Guy at the counter shines, as he clearly loves his job. Early mornings with upbeat positive vibes are everything. Vita coffee is delicious. This Banana Foster is well balanced, coffee is gently infused to put a smile on your face. The sweetness wraps around in a pleasant demeanor. This ham & cheese Croissant is made with quality ingredients. It's flaky and decadent. Plenty of dinning room space to WiFi a meeting or two. Can't wait to be back.
Caffe Vita was very good! I got an iced pumpkin latte. It was $9.50 for the larger size- so a bit pricey. Very good coffee. Nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. They have a big garage door type opening so during the fall months it's really lovely indoor/outdoor space. The barista was super sweet and fast.
This place was a little tricky to find. It is tucked in to a shopping center next to Little O's. There is a parking lot on the side. Once inside, I was greeted by the friendly staff. So nice! I ordered a cortado, which was strong but well rounded. I really enjoyed it! They have lots of seating inside (very open and inviting if you want to sit and sip on your coffee and do some work) and a few tables outside too.
I tried this coffee shop for the first time and right off the bat I had a warm welcome as soon as I walked in. The barista was very knowledgeable about the drinks and helped me choose 2 iced lattes for my husband and me. Overall the actual shop inside was cute and bright. There were a lot of people in there working on their laptops and hanging out. It'd be a good place to work or get some schooling done. I'd definitely come back!!
We had a cortado with honey and cinnamon and an apple pie iced latte 10/10. Great service as well Eddie and Marcy were super sweet!!
This place was awesome from the moment I walked in. First off it's in a cool parking lot area where Easeley's costumes were, does anyone remember that? Anyhow - the gentleman greeted us so cheerily the second the door was opened. Aesthetically it's beautiful, the wall of merch to the right and the coffee bar, the colors, the glass display case with goodies in it. Awesome. But then you see the menu and it gives you a nice variety of classics plus some unique house specials, and even seasonal items... like the mudfire mocha and the campfire mocha which both sound incredible with their ingredients , mud fire containing mocha and smoked chocolate chips... yumm. It was nice to have both tried and true favorites plus an extra special and unique take on some other offerings. I loved it. The display case of goodies also looked delightful, this time we opted away from getting anything but the couple ahead of us grabbed something with pistachio and we heard them rave about it at the comfy couch they sat at (just across the window table we grabbed). We ended up with a lightly iced chai cloud and the campfire mocha (hot) and both of them were spectacular!! So, so good... I ordered a medium and wished I'd gotten a bigger size - that's how good it was, and it wasn't overly sweet it was JUST right... and I was so happy with the light ice, and honestly kept sipping on the cloud flavorings from the drink on my ice... it was delicious. 100% recommend and can't wait to go back. Thanks a ton, Vita!
Atmosphere is great, staff was friendly, seemed pretty clean.. odd thing there is no trash cans ANYWHERE.. when I walked in a couple was talking about throwing their trash in the bathroom .. the cashier told them to throw it away in the trash behind the counter.. there's a tub with trash and dirty dishes to the side but we need trash cans! I paid $8 for a 12oz coffee and it was soooo bad... it could just be my tastebuds but I would never order it again.. it was the mudhoney mocha . I asked for the sweetest coffee and that was not sweet at all.. I would try again maybe in a few weeks/ months.. but not super excited to be back
I'm always on the hunt for new coffee spots. This was a nice stop and the place was clean and cute. We ordered the iced cookie milk latte and a caramel latte. The drinks were made quick and the coffee was good! There was plenty of seating inside and parking as well. I would stop in if I'm in the area for a drink again!
The matcha latte was one of the best I've ever had in the U.S. The matcha was super strong, which I love. I got my latte with whole milk and no sweetener. If I lived in the area, it would probably be a go-to for a matcha. We worked here for about 30 minutes and found the wifi connection to be good. A decent amount of seating available, both indoors and outdoors. read more
Honestly...not really worth it :,). We came on a Friday afternoon and the cafe was pretty empty by the barista was super nice and quick with the drinks. The vibe of the cafe is super cute too and the large number of tables make this a good spot to work. The vibes aside...the drinks were pretty disappointing. We ordered the seasonal pink peppercorn foam latte (swapped it for a matcha) and a hojicha. The hojicha was very bland and didn't have much hojicha flavor. The sweetness was perfect but it just tasted like cinnamon milk. At almost $9 for a small, I expected it to be amazing. My friend's matcha was also just okay. She thought the peppery flavor was interesting and didn't hate it but the size wasn't worth the amount she paid. Ratings Hojicha: 1/5 Pink Peppercorn Cloud Matcha: 2.5/5 read more

From the minute I walked in, I felt super welcomed! Greeted by a super sweet barista who you can tell, he loves what he does. Quick peruse of the menu and I was torn between two of their special drinks. The other barista mentioned she enjoyed the ' Honey Fig Latte' so I opted for that one with oat milk. Best decision ever! The drink was promptly made and tasted near perfection. If you're like me and enjoy that slightly sweet flavor with that pop of espresso, this would be your drink order! I was also quite hungry and asked what breakfast options they had. He let me know they have breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos. I opted for the breakfast burrito which tasted great. Full of egg and potato, with a side of green salsa! Plenty of seating, although quite busy at 9:30am on Friday morning. By 11, it emptied. Such a pleasant experience, all of the baristas were kind, welcoming, and the place was clean. Will most definitely come back !! read more

I've passed this place a few times randomly and thought, "that looks like a cool shop to check out", but hadn't until last week. I finally made a trip downtown just to go see them. I love the font used for the business...reminds me of Kat Von D's Tattoo Shop in LA, very rock n' roll. I found parking right away, but I can say that parking is tough here; there appears to be 20 spots total, including 2 handicapped, that are shared with another craft beer spot. IF you can't find parking, park across the street and use the crosswalk as circling will do you no good and getting through the alley way at the back of the parking is very slim (a-hem for a big truck like mine). Sam, the "Coffee & Drink Curator" I'll call her, greets me as soon as I walk in with a big beautiful smile, and asks if I have any questions. Of course I did! I asked about recommendations, and what milk alternatives they use. She happily answered, I ordered my drinks & a gluten free, vegan donut. Sam and I chatted about the space, the drink offerings, and the Cars & Coffee Event that was to take place on Sunday. I did get to try one of their slushes, it was a Maple somethingrather made with Oatmilk, and absolutely heavenly. It reminded me of Dutch Bros for Vegans! They also offer a caffeine-free version for the kiddos. I highly recommend trying these! They're on the other side of the counter, where you pick up, so you may not notice them at first. The ambiance is cool, they play alternative music, offer low and high seating, and a glass garage door really opens up the space when it's pulled up. Go check this place and say "hi" to Sam from me ;) read more

On the hunt for a new coffee shop, I popped into Cafe Vita. Immediately, I was greeted by Eddie, who is WONDERFUL! As a first timer, he helped make some suggestions and I ultimately went with The Mandy and a breakfast burrito. The Mandy is a delightfully iced combo of sparkling butterfly pea tea lemonade with a matcha float. The lemonade is balanced between sweet and tart, and the sparkling water is a nice touch. The matcha is flavorful and very fresh tasting. The Burris burrito is phenomenal. Slow cooked and tender, with melty cheese, egg and potato wrapped in a fluffy, toasty tortilla. It's to die for! I snagged some almond and chocolate/pistachio croissants for later, which will no doubt be heavenly. The shop is modern and clean, plenty of seating, and perfect for catching up with friends, a study session, or just a little me time. Cafe Vita will definitely be a new part of my coffee shop rotation. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu. read more

Cool new coffee spot that took over the old 'Easley's Fun Shop' building in Phoenix. Caffe Vita is a Seattle based company that is bi-coastal that started in the 90's. They plan to open a couple more locations here in Arizona. I love that they decided to pay homage to Easley's long 70 year history here in the Valley by making their outdoor signage yellow. The sign says "our business is fun". You can tell that Caffe Vita did their research and cares about the surrounding community that they just moved into. Caffe Vita offers many coffee classics and specialty drinks. A couple of creations that stood out to me were the Cookie Milk Latte and Prickly Pear Tonic. They sell bags of beans and merchandise in house too. They even have a coffee subscription that you can join on their website so you never go without coffee in your home. For food, Caffe Vita is selling pastries from local places like LGO and Suss Pastries. I stopped in and grabbed a Golden Milk Latte for the road on opening day. I'm looking forward to future visits as Caffe Vita is down the street from work. read more
Yeah, their coffee is pretty good! Caffe Vita is a recent addition to the downtown Phoenix coffee scene, and it's located on McDowell right across from the My Florist Plaza. When I came on a Wednesday morning, it wasn't too busy, and parking was widely available in the lot that the shop was located in. I was greeted by two friendly baristas, and I liked the clean, modern layout inside. There's a lot of indoor seating, and it was pretty empty + quiet inside (great place to work!). They also sell a variety of merch, coffee beans, and pastries. I usually go for any seasonal/specialty drinks or anything that sounds interesting, so I got the miso caramel latte with oat milk. It ended up being pretty expensive (adding up to $10!), which was the only thing that I could truly say was a minus in my experience. The drink came out pretty quickly, and I liked it a lot! I like my coffee to be less on the sweet side, and the drink was exactly that while being able to deliver a creamy punch of miso and caramel. Needless to say, I finished all of it. I would definitely come back to try their other seasonal drinks! read more
Cool coffee spot great vibes large indoor seating well spaced to work or hangout. Coffee is good not great not a lot of options when asking for milk options and the baked good had good coloring added. People were great and if you are looking for something in this area a decent spot for a morning cup read more
If beer had a cousin, it would be coffee. I've been to many coffee shops in the past. This one reminds me of Diedrich Coffee. What I love about this Mudhoney coffee is hints of barley hops infused with coffee which leaves a taste of beer without alcohol. I also love the A To Z cookie which is the cousin to Panera Bread's Kitchen Sink Cookie with the addition of pretzels mixed milk chocolate goodness. I love the German style decor. Would love to have soft pretzels along with this beer aftertaste coffee. Been wanting to visit this place after numerous trips to Seattle, my second home. I love going to coffee houses. Feeling Seattle vibes. Service is good! Friendly barista too! read more

First time here today and Eddie was so helpful! He totally convinced me to get the cinnamon roll and it was definitely worth it! I wish I got the girls name who made our drinks- the drinks were delicious! She recommended the iced mudhoney and it was AMAZING. The vibe there is neat. My boyfriend works near by and said if we lived closer to this coffee shop he would probably do his wfh days at this coffee shop. Everything is clean and organized. I would definitely come again if I was in the area :) read more

The cashier was so friendly and welcoming. Answered my questions regarding the difference in their mudhoney and campfire mocha. I was so pleased with the detailed explanation. I got the mudhoney and was not disappointed! Highly recommend this mocha and this spot. Went on a Monday late morning. It was clean, quiet, good back ground music. read more
Super cool coffee shop in downtown Phoenix. I've been to this area a ton of times but had no idea this is where caffe vita is. My husband and I came here before visiting a farmers market and we were both super impressed with our drinks. The patio area was cool too, super open and perfect for a morning where it isn't too hot! The guys working there were really nice and got our drinks out fast! My husband got a caramel latte with extra caramel. I got a seasonal drink called the Mandy. It was a sparkling lemonade with butterfly pea powder and a matcha float. Whenever I get lemonade type drinks a lot of times they're like overly sweet for me but this was not overly sweet at all, I think thanks to the matcha! It was the perfect combo of flavors and was super refreshing for summer. Would totally come here again! read more
Really cute spot. Good size for the area with plenty of seating. I always want to support local shops and this is a great example of a successful one. Super friendly staff. They have JL Patisserie pastries so you can't go wrong. Tasty coffee. Will be returning! read more

Nice spot, coffee is good. They were out of a couple things when I came which was a bummer but they are new to the area so they're probably working out the kinks. Lots of seating inside but somewhat basic tables and chairs, nothing unique about inside. Coffee is good! read more
