In the land where people think coffee means a billion-calorie coffee sundae from McStarbucks, Vivace is a welcomed cup of supremely excellent coffee, served the way it was meant to be. The menu options are limited, so if you gotta have that quad venti triple-flavored nonfat frozen mochachino with whipped cream and sprinkles, you should go across the street to the competition. Having spread its reputation primarily by word-of-mouth, Vivace makes real coffee really well, as the fortunate residents of Capital Hill know.
Pros: Authentic, No coffee sundaes, Restretto shots
Cons: Starbucks
