I have gone to almost all Vida Caffes in the whole of Stellenbosch, Somerset and Cape Town but this Vida is by far the ABSOLUTE best!!! Every time I go my coffee is incredible and the staff (even at 7am) are beyond friendly, happy and smiling. The Vida Riverside experience is worth 10 stars! The shop is spotless clean and the atmosphere is so welcoming and warming and the service is excellent even though a lot of the staff were still undergoing training when I first went. So glad I found this Vida :)

My new favourite spot . I love a vida e pit stop. On my way back from the gym or before work. They always remember my customised order and always have a competition who can make me the best one ! Setting the atmosphere positive ( although they are all the best) They are so kind and just makes my day better from the time I step foot into the shop and being greeted with smiles and good service . These staff members know what they are doing ! This morning they were short staffed and they handled it like a pro ! No vida E compares to this exceptional one !

Wow! What an amazing experience to have all staff be very friendly and welcoming to their new store. The chai latte with the little lidt chocolate was THE BEST! I'm excited to return to this particular store in the future! The shop was beautiful and clean! The 3 staff members make a very good team

I was so impressed by the welcoming friendly staff at this Vida e Caffè who served my hot chocolate with almond milk to perfection. They even offered and added marshmallows on top making my drink extraordinary decadent, a fabulous treat! I hope to be back soon:-)
