I've been to this place for a handful of times since they opened and their food and service is always amazing. It's family and locally run so they really try to build a connection with the community. The place is spacious inside, plenty of seating for relaxing or doing work/homework. Their patio is huge and they are pet friendly! One of the best coffee places here in the Washington St /Heights area

met a few people at this cafe. the service was great accommodating our size and putting the drinks out in a timely matter. ambiance was very mom and pop. the blueberry muffin was nice and warm. i decided to try their dubai chocolate frape and was happy to find that it had no milk in it. it was an interesting flavor that you don't often find. the crunch at the top was a nice addition to the drink. overall it was a good time here.

This was such a cute restaurant! I loved the ambiance and bright colors. The coffee is amazing and the jalapeno bagel incredible as well! There is plenty of parking as well.

La Vita Coffee is a unique establishment located along Washington Avenue before you get to Yale if traveling West. I told the owner the alley behind the business is actually labeled as Waughford on Google maps even though the street sign is only located across the street. I have seen signage for the two businesses located in this building for months, but only just recently stopped by early one day. Burger Vibe is the other business which operates out of the same building and counter. At first, I thought maybe this is a case of two juxtaposed businesses, but it is actually a 2-in-1 situation, if that makes sense. Decor-wise, I couldn't really get into it, but I think the place has a good, peaceful vibe to it. I ordered a Caramel Macchiato (I love caramel) and really enjoyed it, so delicious. However, reading my receipt later, I was not a fan of the upcharges. An iced coffee with a base cost of $5.85 had a $1 upcharge for oat milk and $1 upcharge for espresso modification for a total of $7.85. They need to rethink this. Mariel T.'s and Christina H.'s reviews also address the pricing on coffee. The cranberry orange muffin I ordered was kind of on the tough side but still tasted good. At one point, I sat outside and enjoyed being out there just watching the traffic go by. I would like to come back one day and order a chai latte and a burger. The way the burger was described to me made it sound like it's really good.

We have tried this cafe twice because we were in the area and were not disappointed at all. The service was very friendly, and took their time to answer any questions and were open to adjust our orders as we liked. We ordered an iced chai latte which was easily one of the tastier and better ones I have had in the Houston area, it does come on the sweeter side but you have the option to ask for it less sweet which is nice. We also got a Brown sugar pumpkin Shakerado, which was also very tasty! We definitely want to try out their food items, as they also service burgers and other pastries! There is plenty of seating in their spacious and Tuscan feel decor, so it's a good place to do work.

I want to applaud this owner--our interaction with him was so pleasant. He provided several options for us, happily answered our questions, and even offered suggestions that we ended up liking without being too forward. I also noticed he was very clean and diligent in making sure the blender was throughly washed between making drinks, as my friend has a milk allergy. That attention to detail (you can tell he was knowledgeable about what he serves and happy to serve) and care to his customers is worth acknowledging. the exterior is unassuming, but upon walking in, you instantly feel it's a spacious and cozy coffee shop (and burger and bagel spot?!). There were several people studying here. What's surprising is the variety of drinks and food! (I've never heard of a prickly pear or lemon grass matcha!). Vegan and gluten free friendly options. The owner detailed he provides different matchas, including traditional unsweetened and a creamy, sweet matcha from Italy as well. With his recommendation, I got a hot matcha latte w/ espresso shot and it was a good evening pick me up before heading out to dance with friends. The pastries appear homemade. Everyone with me enjoyed their drinks. I'm going to have to come back to try some burgers and other items soon :)

Spontaneous stop for a warm beverage for an art class in Montrose. Grabbed a chai latte due to a tickle in my throat. Lovely blend of sweet and spicy. 10/10 And this is coming from a Patel! Service was friendly and prompt. Once you know where it is- easy to get to. Parking was good for this part of town. Large space with various seating. Decor was casual eclectic. Large patio. There was a faint smell of cigarettes- so ew.

Yummy

Love this place - great quiet study spot - super friendly staff - best chai I've ever had , & burgers , fries , & Brussels are pretty good too

Dubai matcha
Emma S.

I tried out la vita after passing it a million times and it was great! I got the Dubai matcha frapp. The owner was at the counter and was very nice. We didn't get food but it smelled and looked delicious. There was plenty of parking both on the side of the building and "behind" next to the Cinnabon. I recommend checking them out!! Next time we're going for food and bagels.

Mushroom Swiss burger

I'm picky with burgers and this one really surprised me. The flavor was exactly what I've been looking for. The beef tasted fresh and real, not bland or frozen. The cheese melted perfectly, the sauce had the right kick, and the grilled onions were done right. Everything came together clean. The bun was soft but held up the whole time. No falling apart. The fries were crispy and seasoned well. You could tell they were cooked fresh and not sitting around. Overall this spot hit. Simple, good, and worth going back for. I'd order this same burger again without changing anything.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The Dubai crepe was super rich and creamy and nice large portion size. The strawberry mousse cake was frozen solid, so I was not able to eat it right away but it was a lovely mousse with jelly fruit filling and a thick chocolate crust. Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

I ended up paying for fast passes (they do release free fast passes, but those get scooped up quickly, and I was able to pay $3 per ticket on eventbrite to snag fast passes). Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese. The kids all really enjoyed it and definitely wanted to come back for the next pop up themed cafe!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.
