Helpful baristas! Good coffee. Wonderful line of roasts to take home. Discount on your coffee if you buy beans! I partook. 😁 PS(A)...Real pumpkin in your PSL...

Nice coffee shop in Portland we can feel he is doing the coffee with lot of care

Good coffee, friendly, and at the less crazy end of Alberta. Looking forward to hanging out inside!

The coffee is always great but the real gem of this place are the baristas. Everyone who works here is so nice and friendly, there are 3 coffee shops on Alberta that are closer to my house but I always walk further to come here because I know I’ll have a truly pleasant conversation with whoever is working

Really delicious cortado. Super creamy with the oat milk and strong, well roasted coffee. Barista was very fast and knowledgeable and friendly. Am definitely going back tomorrow morning for 1-2 more!

I love their coffee, especially the mocha. Cozy place and super friendly.

Great coffee, seriously delicious pastries and the best staff. love it here!

“The best coffee” says my aunt who is visiting from out of town.

Open. Great staff.

Delicious lattes, friendly staff and a good working atmosphere.

Coffee was ok but the barista was rude to me over the way I phrased my order. Super awkward and couldn’t wait to get my coffee so I could leave.

Good, fresh, local, I think.

Stopped in for a quick latte to warm up on a cold day. It was one of the best lattes I have had in Portland. The service was genuinely friendly. I felt as if they really appreciated my business. I will definitely be back!

The coffee is amazing, but the working conditions are inhumane. Caffe Vita, how do you expect your workers to work with no A/C in 80 degrees and higher temperatures. This is outrageous. Your shop is hotter than it is outside. That isnt okay. Get A/C for your work place ASAP!!

Meant to put in a good word for this place a while back. We live in another part of Portland, so we dont make it up to Alberta very often. But, when we do, we make sure to hit up Caffe Vita. Nice place, good atmosphere. We always pick up a bag of Theos Blend, too. Its the best coffee weve ever had. I bring it back east to my family as a gift, and they love it.

Coffee is relentlessly good

Excellent coffee, usually fast service,very chill. Only three two seater outside tables. Watch the roasting while you drink the end result. One of our favorite places. Great vibe, low key, cool. Follow-up: Cafe Vita has over time won me over and is my favorite in Portland. The best coffee and the best people.

Had good cup coffee to go. The staff was extremely friendly. Environment was great.

Free pastries do not cause homelessness. I would not avoid a business that gave free coffee to homeless people. Please change your policies.

Excellent espresso. Had two pastries, one was good the other amazing (scone). One more top rated option in E Portland!

First time here. Friendly, fast baristas that seem to know many of the customers. Comfortable, relaxed space to get some work done. Tasty coffee and pastries. Hope to visit again!

Great cup of coffee. Also the place I first had cold brew. It was out of their several feet tall Japanese system. Amazing.

Finally, I have found a place that can make a good latte on Alberta (-:

This coffeeshop at first glance showed a ton of promise - nice space with indoor/outdoor seating and good aroma of freshly roasted coffee. Unfortunately the latte was a bit underwhelming for my taste. The service was also a bit on the slow side and confusing as there was no real order in letting people know which coffee belonged to whom once prepared by the barista. Would like to give them another try on the coffee and hopefully service can be improved.

Dropped in for an afternoon cup of coffee. Its probably my fault but I asked the barista what she would recommend- a pretty vague question and she responded that the mocha was good. I was a little disappointed and anticipated a more robust and educated conversation around some of the unique menu items. It was awkward so I ordered a a small cup of french press. I prefer to drink coffee black when I try new places and it was fantastic, not bitter at all.

Superb coffee, in a nice, chilled atmosphere. Fantastic place. 👍👍

Absolutely great cafe atmosphere with lovely customer service, and friendly communication. Not to mention the delicious Guatemalan French Press!

Best coffee I’ve had anywhere. Bohemian clientele is frosting on cake. I travel from Salem for their coffee and the experience.

Served us 9 drinks to go at 7 am on Easter Sunday and smiled the whole time. Delicious, I dont know need to say more!

Would give zero stars if I could. Caffè Vita treats the homeless like vermin instead of people. Feeding homeless people without comprehensive services actually enables, increases and promotes homelessness, they write, which can be read as homeless people dont deserve to eat because there are no current mechanisms in place to help them; were not going to help. Shame on you, Caffè Vita! I would suggest getting your coffee from anywhere else.

Comfortable space, good coffee, nice for people watching. Could use a better selection of vegan friendly bites.

Absolutely my favorite coffee spot. Great in house roasted coffee, excellent vibe and service!

Always good

Great food & service. Dog friendly.

As a home espresso fanatic, I love living in a city with so many options for locally-roasted coffee. Ive tried many, but my favorite is still Caffe Del Sol, Caffe Vitas espresso blend. Fortunately, the NE Alberta & 29th Ave location is within biking distance and its just a place that makes me feel welcome and comfortable. And whenever I come in (roughly every 6 days) for another bag of Caffe Del Sol, Im also offered and espresso on the house. One of my favorite Portland stories is from a visit to Caffe Vita before we moved here. After the barista informed me of my free espresso, I happened to mention that we were thinking of moving here. Of course a lot of Portland residents have mixed feeling about newcomers, but this person said immediately, Oh you have to!.

Delicious coffee and tasty pastries. Love the open room floor plan.

Best cappuccino Ive ever had, lovely staff, fast service.

I miss them in olympia. Consistent and delicious.

Cozy place with great drinks. Sat out cold icy morning and they were super friendly.

Best pastries and their way of brewing their tasty coffee keeps me coming. Their holiday roast is a must grab.

Friendly and not aloof staff. Good coffee. Solid wifi.

Excellent espresso pull and nice ambiance. I like being able to watch the guy roast beans and the smell is intoxicating.

Male barista this afternoon was exceptionally rude to both my partner and my kids. The coffee was good, but we wont be back.

Their signature beans are my favorite. So smooth! Free americano when I buy them is a classy touch too.

12-2-2018 Stopped by today. 1st. time customer. Coffee was good, but $5.00 without tip for a 8oz. pour over ?Seems very out of line price wise, no matter how good the coffee. It just might be the most expensive place in the Portland area.

Sitting in the sun with my wife and son on Christmas Eve morning; delicious coffee; nice atmosphere; its a win! Love the roaster and sacks of coffee in the back.

Fast service, dark, rich roast. They make a mighty fine cappuccino!

To be honest--the coffe is crap. But--the space is nice and makes for a good place to plant yourself and get some work done for the day. Never too crowded.

Good coffee and a nice relaxing and cheerful atmosphere are the highlights of Caffe Vita. Go, check it out and enjoy.

Fantastic coffee and friendly atmosphere. Plus free coffee beverage with the purchase of their kick ass beans!

The staff is very knowledgeable, clearly theyre hiring well because its good to find a cafe where the staff really do want to be there, and make good coffee.

Excellent coffee and almost nothing else. They have several cold brew methods and I love them all.

One of the tastiest americanos I have ever had the pleasure of sipping!

This is a pretty charming local spot.Im not a coffee drinker so unfortunately a lot of their craft is lost on me. They do however have a nice short list of teas and chai. They keep one tea made for iced all summer but they are happy to ice any of the individual flavors as well.The ambiance is casual and dingy, good tunes on the louder side. So if you need a quiet work space I would recommend the basement over at Townshend but with some noise or earphones this place is perfectly acceptable. A handful of nice pastries and youve got the makings of a solid coffee shop.The seating is minimal and small so no big groups. But I like this place, its one of my work from home go tos.

Fantastic coffee and great service. A little warm inside, but theyre even open late-ish.

This is my new favorite hangout. Great coffee, and pleasant seating outside when it is hot.

Fabulous, this place rocks! ! The man knows his coffee, this is NOT a restaurant it is a coffee cafe.

Good coffee but I got treated like a punk when I couldnt afford to tip for a single day. Sorry I have laundry to do.

Its quiet and unassuming. I love that people bring their dogs inside.

Best latte I have had in the area.

Certainly nothing wrong with the coffee and pastry I ordered. The barista, however, was very rude. Our interaction had lasted possibly less than a minute, yet its enough for me to not want to return.

I love a good macchiato and even more when I can have the slightly bigger version, the cortado. The pacnor at Caffe Vita is their answer to that and has quickly become my favorite of all coffee drinks in the city when I want a little milk with my shots. Cold brew is solid as well.

Great coffee. Slow service. They need to hire another Batista for morning shift.

The pacnor is amazing! I am not a huge coffee fan, but I highly recommend the Brew here.

Quietly one of the best coffee shops in Portland. Staple of the neighborhood, longtime haunt.

High quality coffee, comfortable minimalist atmosphere, fantastic service, incredibly friendly, one of my favorite Portland coffee shops.

Everything about this place is great! The coffee, location, staff, and vibes! Will be returning for sure!

Amazing drinks and customer service. Coming back for sure.

Great coffee, good prices, yummy baked goods!

Fantastic coffee, friendly service good vibes.

The best coffee on Alberta street. Its expensive but worth it.

Delicious coffee and friendly counter people

Great guatemalan roast, and French press for their drip coffee. Yum.

Seattle coffee shop trying to break into Portland. Good coffee but not better than the three local coffee spots in the neighborhood.

Friendly service and people, great coffee!

Great coffee and barrista.

So love this placenice and worm

They roast their own.

Best coffee/espresso in town and a place where weirdos can be free from hipster scrutiny.

Just as awesome as the one in Hollywood

Coffee was subpar but the service was great.

Neighborhood coffee joint. Coffee and WiFi.

Good coffee. Bad bagels.

Great coffee, and atmosphere.
