"Great service with a smile. Ordered the chicken masala and it was scrumptious. The perfect amount of spice for a winter afternoon. The coffee was also great. Obrigado blend for a nice, strong, cup! Great spot for a meeting, to work or just to chill."

"I'm a big fan of the Vida e Caffè franchise, so I made sure to visit this branch while I was in the area. As always, my Bomba Energia was made to perfection. While the place was relatively busy, it wasn't noisy at all, so I was able to sit and enjoy my coffee before continue with my walk. One thing to bear in mind if you're planning to visit this branch is that they do not accept cash — it's card only. This shouldn't be an issue for most, but worth bearing in mind if you usually deal with cash."
