Espresso Vivace is a probably not going to last in Seattle if the staff remains rude (I have read other reviews commenting on this) and the espresso remains mediocre and over priced. Seattle is a place where people are typically very nice and there is an air of happiness and equality. But on a recent trip to Vivace I was met with the most condescending barista I ever hope to encounter. Taking your job seriously is great, but being rude is never in style or professional. His attitude was so humiliating that I walked out of the store and 1/4 mile to the next coffee shop. I have been to Vivace a few other times because it is very close to my house. The latte's are mediocre. Needless to say, I do not recommend Vivace.
Pros: Location
Cons: The staff has a "high and mighty" attitude
