In a nutshell; Excellent service even when they're busy, ok food, good drinks and a chill place to just unwind at any time. Busy comic-con weekend and despite that, wasn't any trouble getting our orders, line went by quickly, eventually seats freed up, and they have a number of indoor and outdoor seats for customers. The burrito I ordered wasn't the best. It was rather salty and lots of oil was dripping from the burrito and wasn't that good to really finish in one sitting. The service was great though.
Such a welcoming little coffeeshop and cafe with great vegan breakfast options. The staff were super friendly, the food was hearty, and the pastries were on par. Really impressed that they had such good food for a coffeeshop. Chill atmosphere with plenty of seating and fast WiFi. My only wish is that they would offer soy milk as an option for drinks, especially with how many vegan options they offer.
The venue is great for coffee, we got The Three Kings and the Peruvian filter coffee, which were brewed well and was refreshing for a Monday breakfast. As far as breakfast goes, it was Self seat and order at the bar, which threw me off, as it felt a little hands off, considering the great breakfast they have. We got the vegan sausage breakfast burro burrito with avocado and the Chorizo egg Hash, with the Chorizo subbed for vegan sausage. It was a solid breakfast, and the portion size was good. I would recommend, go in and be bold to order!
Nice coffee cafe with sandwiches, treats, and coffee. Staff are friendly and accommodated to make a iced flat white. Coffee was tasty, strong with smooth end and citrus notes. Cost $5 for cappuccino. Latte $5.5. Also has coffe lemonade, which I didn't have the courage to try. Good selection of hot and cold drinks as well as seasonal, unique drinks for the summer.
I walk by Copa Vida every time I'm in the Petco area in East Village and always thought it looked modern with plenty of seating. Today I decided to order from them and pick up to go while walking the dogs. I ordered two Iced Lowfat Vanilla Brown Sugar Lattes online via Square on their web site and they gave an estimate of 20 minutes for pickup. When we arrived to pick up the order I was surprised to find a sign on the door saying dogs were not welcome inside. I've seen dogs on their outdoor patio in the past. That left me with quite a dilemma since I was by myself with two dogs. I wanted to respect their rules so I phoned in to see if someone could bring the drinks to me and the employee was super kind and helpful and said they don't mind dogs coming in for a short period of time for pickups and that the sign is primarily because they don't allow them in the inside dining area for those dining/drinking inside. When I got to the counter I was a bit surprised how small the drinks were and asked how I could have ordered a larger iced drink online because I didn't see that option. The barista said just to leave the size unchecked and it would automatically come in the 16 oz versus the 12 oz cup they had prepared. She offered to make them 16 oz since I didn't know and that won me over on the quality of their service. The drinks themselves were refreshing and not overly sweet. You can definitely taste both the vanilla and brown sugar but it's not overpowering. Copa Vida has ample seating on the patio as well as indoors and is quite spacious with high ceilings. It's a busy place and I'll probably come again sans dogs to stay and people watch on the patio next time. There is no parking available here.
