Coffee As Art -- Vivace Espresso

"Una bella tazza di caffe", the beautiful cup of coffee at Vivace Espresso is well named. Since 1988 this company has refined it's presentation, flavor and finesse inspired by the coffee itself. We often go to the shop in South Lake Union to pick up a cuppa as well as the occasional Mighty O Donut or donut hole depending on the appetite. They offer "restretto shots" which I understand to mean that they use only the sweetest most flavorful part of the espresso shot. The owners have published books on barista techniques, coffee techniques as well as a video of Latte art. Espresso Vivace
