Ayo, let me put y'all on; Vic's Café just blessed me with a butter cookie frozen coffee that had me questioning everything I thought I knew about caffeine. Smooth as silk, perfectly balanced, and that butter cookie flavor? Elite. None of that artificial nonsense; just rich, velvety goodness that hit every note right. If you're in Savannah and not pulling up to Vic's, you're playing yourself. Live, love and laugh - Sha
Nice small shoppe on River St. Nice pastry selection. They even heat muffins and toast bagels. Coffee comes in 3 sizes. Iced or hot. Alcohol is served. Service is nice and polite. The place is small with tables and chairs in the back though. No TVs or music which was a nice change. Like most places in Savannah they don't open until 9am.
I really liked this place! Two lovely servers and a perfect London fog on an unusually cold Savannah Sunday. About $7 with tip.
The place seems to always be packed but for good reason! They have great variety of coffee, and best of all, spiked coffee! The particular one I had was warm apple cider it was delicious and warmed me up! But the popular one that they ran out was spike tiramisu latte! Deff would recommend.
Old Savannah feel as you walk in. Original stone walls and wood floor. Nicely appointed barista station, service area, and ample, cozy seating. If you wish coffee libations- there many options. I went for an iced almond-milk latte. They also had some very interesting and fun baked goods. French toast muffin, for example. Also several flavors of pastries cinnamon rolls, tarts and even bagels. As a gal who lives in NYC for many years - I know a good bagel. I tried their everything. It was good. (Not quite NYC quality, but good.) This is a great place to grab n go or sit in. Service was solid and respectful.
Great service. The staff was absolutely lovely and perfectly friendly. The coffee was ok. I've had better, I've had worse. I needed some caffeine and a place to sit for a spell, so it fit the bill. It was a nice place to sit out a rainstorm.
We wandered up to Vic's Coffee Bar on River Street, and they do mean "bar". We formulated a Baileys mocha, which we all had (for a pretty penny). Delicious and well-made! It wasnt on their menu, but they welcomed our "invented" recipe, and even came up with a quicker way to describe it from their menu offerings. There's a small seating area indoors in the back, and a narrow standing bar across from the barristas. Most people get theirs to go, and yes, you can legally stroll around that part of Savannah with your alcoholic bev. A fellow out front invited us to the upstairs bar/restaurant for the view. The barrista also said we could go right up in the elevator and hang out for the 4th floor view, but when we got there, we learned that Savannans can look askance with the best of them, and we were asked firmly not to hang around after looking out the windows. To be fair, it's rather upscale up there, certainly not as casual as we were. I asked them to let us sit out on the back terrace, and we were the only ones under their umbrellas on the mysterious Factor's Row, not labeled on google maps, a scenic level of brick and iron walkways between the river and Bay Street. We blurred awhile in our Baileys in the cool weather, and saw some nice historic facades and a lion fountain! You know, i started this as a four-star review, on account of being asked not to hang out at their nice 4th-floor tables, but the view we had was lovely and rare, and d*mn, those spiked coffees were delicious!
Great service very friendly. More of a tourist trap than a coffee shop. Food okay and casual .
Stopped in for a coffee treat. I had the employee make me an Affogato (ice cream + espresso) She used the ice cream furthest to the exit and behind the ice cream in front. It was so tasty! My husband is a macchiato fan. He sat there and drank the whole thing, slowly. Plus, it's one the few places on River street with a bathroom and air conditioning!!
Under staffed and poor planning. I believe there were 2 staff members and a manager. 1 staff member and manager wasn't present most of the time we were there waiting... and we had to wait! Apparently, they were having to pull stock. As early as it was and the fact that it wasn't busy, there's no reason that they should have been having to pull stock... unless it was due to poor planning the day before or prior to them opening. It was over a 15-minute wait for 2 frozen coffees.
Separate from Vic's on the River, the coffee house was just a-ok! Coffee was mediocre and the wait was long. But it was cold outside and we NEEDED something warm. Two lattes it is. The lattes were fine - nice and warm to hold, too. Prices are reasonable, as others have noted in their reviews - so I guess I can't be mad at the overall quality. My biggest complaint was the wait. So, it was pre-COVID so it was ok to fill a coffee shop to capacity and boy, was it at capacity. It took FOREVER to get our drinks. I guess it just gave us more time to wait inside the heated shop (it was FREEZING outside) although there is limited seating inside (well, or it was because it was packed so there was no seating available). At the end of the day, it didn't help that it was cold outside since everyone was packed inside buying coffee to warm up. But if you're looking for something warm to drink without breaking the bank, Vic's is your shop!
Loved Vic's coffee house! They offered variety of coffee, smoothies, and even beer! They also had small sweets. For big appetite, they have their main restaurant next door. This coffee shop is located in historic downtown area, and has view of river right up front.
Friendly staff and decent drinks! We came here for coffee and a Guinness Float to kill the waiting time for Huey's on the River. Price is on the higher end due to its premium location.
The space, accessible both from River Street and from the restaurant upstairs, is tiny but relies on a robust to go business. I had no trouble getting a table and the staff do not seem to mind that I answered a few email before ordering. I ordered a coffee. It was good enough for my purposes but not great. Service was excellent. Pleasant and efficient team! read more
Cute coffee shop right on river st! The sign out front is what drew me in. I got a hot tiramisu-gingerbread latte and my boyfriend got the espresso martini. Espresso martini was very coffee forward, not at all creamy. Mine was warming and tasted like the holidays, not overly sweet. Inside is quaint and quiet. The girl working was very helpful and efficient although she was the only one working! Worth checking out if you're walking and need a pick me up! read more

Every time I visit Savannah I always stop by this coffee house. It's in the main tourist area in the Historic District so to flow with all the crew and crazy people around that area, it's a good spot to grab something to drink and just walk your way around. Since it's cold, it's amazing they have so many hot drink options that you can booze up! My boyfriend had the regular Hot Chocolate which was really good and I got the Adult Hot Chocolate which had a chocolate liquor. It wasn't super strong but a good little booze to get your warm in this weather! read more

Vic's Coffee House (VCH) is my go-to coffee spot on River Street by the waterfront. It's convenient and it's great! It's the extension of Vic's On The River which is above it on the street level. It offers a variety of coffees, teas and other drinks. They even have a wine bar. They also offer a variety of little bites like cheese danishes, bagels, muffins and cookies. - Parking - I would park somewhere above on the street level and make your way down. I generally tend to avoid driving on the cobblestone street by the waterfront. - Vibe - It's a narrow establishment. As soon as you walk in the showcase of pastries is to your right, followed by the coffee bar. The seating is toward the back. The whole place is pretty dim, even in broad daylight. - TLC - Every time I have gone in, the ladies there have been very courteous. - Eats/ Refreshments - I've had mocha frappés and dirty chais and both have been good. For eats, I've had the cheese danish and make sure to ask them to warm it up for you. Tastes much better! I've also tried their cinnamon rolls and breakfast sandwiches. All good! - Kiddos - I always order my kids the hot chocolate. Make sure to ask them for it at kids temperature. When you're on the waterfront and you need a pick-me-up, this is the place to go! read more

This place was like a hidden gem in plain sight and I'm so glad I walked into it during my short stay in Savannah. They have coffees, smoothies, a limited albeit delicious selection of pastries, milk alternatives (a huge plus in my book) and a great staff. Service was amazing each time I went into this cute coffee shop. Sat at the tables that are towards the back as you continue walking in and it was a nice refresher from the hot sun. For those who wanted to add a little *kick* to your drinks you can also add alcohol to any of your coffees or smoothies. I didn't try it myself but if you're looking for a boozy drink as you walk along the river, this is the perfect alternative if you don't want to wait the long lines at wet willies nearby. If you purchase something they stamp your receipt so that you have access to the restroom all day, in case that's something you're looking for. read more
Good coffee shop right off River Street. Lots of coffee options. Friendly service. They take cash and cards but no Apple Pay. They also have spiked coffees, wine and draft beer on tap. The spiked coffee puts this over the top in my book. Book of Tim the Alcoholic. On sale at Amazon. Seating area is very nice. Lots of room. Even an elevator to Vic's the restaurant upstairs. Place is part of Vic's so they do things top notch. Highly recommend. read more

Love this place! The prices are very fair and the dairy options are endless. They have dog water bowl at the door for fur babies and they give you a code for the bathroom to use all day (cleanest bathroom ever!). The people are friendly and the coffee was so good, thank you for the sriracha:) read more

Stopped in here while in Savannah for a quick recharge and coffee pick me up. Baristas were nice and friendly and place had a nice menu of coffee concoctions. Plain black coffee was decent, expresso was great. Interesting enough This place has an elevator that takes you to the top street very nice if you don't want to climb some steep staircases around riverfront in Savannah read more
In this cafe/restaurant upstairs is the original survey hand drawn map on the wall towards the patio, when general what's his name apparently came to Savannah and conquered it! I got that tidbit from our walking tour guide. You are welcome! Secondly, it's not on the menu, but they have hot chocolate and oat milk! So, Hallelujah ~! Praise be!!! I have had both the oat milk latte and the oat milk hot chocolate! And they were Awesome!! Also, they stamp a bathroom code on the back of the receipt, so ask them for it if you need to go. It's a unisex bathroom, so no sex discrimination! read more
I'm so glad this place exists! I so badly wanted a chocolate chip cookie and we were lucky enough to find one here. We ordered two chocolate chip cookies and they were nice enough to warm them for us!! We also ordered a medium hot chocolate to share with almond milk. The cookies had so many chunks of chocolate chips and the hot chocolate was perfect. It was the right temperature to be drank while still warming us up! I definitely want to come back and explore the coffee/wine menu! read more
Vic's Coffee Bar is on the ground floor of Vics Restaurant. You actually enter through the coffee bar to get to the restaurant. The coffee bar is a casual coffee shop. They have cold brew, espresso drinks, drip coffee, and some snacks. They do not have hot breakfast or breakfast sandwiches. Some of their baked goods appear to made in house and others looked bought. The staff were a little cold and rough around the edges. My latte was good, but not great. I wish the cafe offered the same refined and classic style that the restaurant has. There are some tables in the back to sit. It would be a ok place to get some work or studying done. read more
Stumbled upon this little gem of a coffee shop.... got a large drip coffee with pumpkin spice for $3.50! Wasn't incredibly over priced like some places on the river which was a plus for me and it was yummy! I am an avid Starbucks lover and I am a sucker for a pumpkin spiced latte so the fact that this satisfied that craving was great! They also have boozy coffee drinks for people who like to take coffee to the next level! My boyfriend got the nutty Irish which was similar to the Irish coffee but with hazelnut. It wasn't my taste but when I asked him if he would get it again he said "yes absolutely"! read more
They are operating and the latest coffee shop open downtown. All Starbucks and other cafes are still closing early. They have plexiglass up across the whole bar and staff wears masks. They require and supply sanitizer when you walk in. When you pay and get your receipt you will get the bathroom code. read more

Is this a good place to work or study?
I would think so! Most of the traffic is by the coffee/cash counter and that is right at the entrance. The tables are all the way in the back and away from the foot traffic. The tables are small though, bistro style, but the bench seating is pretty…
