Caffe Vita's Queen Anne cafe on West Galer Street began life as a Caffe Fiore and has been a welcoming neighborhood room since, with seats inside, a patio outside and the iconic Queen Anne views a short walk away. The company has been independent and locally owned since 1995, and this cafe pours its coffees every day from six in the morning to six in the evening.

Caffe Vita roasts its coffee by hand, on vintage German machines, in small batches to order, and builds its range on direct trade partnerships with farmers. The lineup includes named blends such as Caffe del Sol, Caffe Luna, Theo Blend and Nor'Wester, an organic Fiore espresso that carries the old Caffe Fiore name, single origins and Vita Cold Shot, a cold espresso extraction made for iced drinks.
