Vitality Roasting Como

The Como Avenue cafe opened quietly in November 2024 in the space that Black Coffee and Waffle Bar had held since 2005, a business that served Vitality's roasted coffee from early on. The front room is fitted with sage green shelves, menu boards and a white accent wall marked with a black asterisk, while a side room has a black couch and a few spider plants to settle into.

Coffee comes first on the menu, with housemade baked goods such as granola bars alongside and drinks like a chai cooked from scratch in a big pot and a latte with housemade black peppercorn syrup and honey. Unlike the downtown flagship, this one keeps seven day hours, from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon.
