Got the ham and cheese croissant for $5. The great thing about it was that it was warm. But it just had two slices of ham and barely any cheese. I don’t know about their other foods but this was little disappointing.

I found this place on DoorDash and decided because of the unique options, I’d skip my usual SB and try it. Even though the prices are more on DD (that’s where they make their $ so it’s understandable), I figured it would be a nice change and Ii wouldn’t order again if disappointed. I only tried 2 drinks so I can’t comment as to the food. I ordered an iced cajeta macchiato and an iced brown sugar latte. Both were excellent! I like my drinks a little sweet so the brown sugar was delicious and I loved the overall flavor. If you like your drink strong, you can pay extra to customize w extra shots. My mother really enjoyed her iced cajeta macchiato as well. There was a lot of caramel on the inside of the cup and she said the flavor was perfectly balanced between the caramel, espresso, etc. Tbh, she said “Uh oh…I’m going to have a new addiction!” Although the location is over 6 miles away instead of the less than 1/3 mile Starbucks is from my home, we’d both prefer Vida Cafe even if it’s a little out there location-wise. I also really prefer to pay an extra few cents and make sure my drink is totally full then ask for no ice and receive 20% less, like what usually happens at SB. I also appreciate that they give the option to upgrade your drink for $1 more (on dd) to a 24 oz size. That’s bigger than a venti at SB for about the same price. Both my drinks arrived w the straws attached on top by a sticker which was covering the straw hole. This meant I didn’t end up w a sticky mess all over the sides and no one tampered w my drink. I also couldn’t finish my 24 oz drink so I threw it in the freezer and when I took it out the next day, it was the same amazing flavor all over again! It was akin to a blended drink after allowing it to melt for 20 min. Vida Cafe might want to look into putting a blended version on their menu. I’m happy to have pulled the trigger and tried Vida Cafe and look forward to tasting their other flavors in the near future. I do hope one day they’ll change their hours to accommodate my all day habit but for now I’m just happy to have discovered them! As with other establishments, I hope the customer service and quality doesn’t diminish as they become busier and more well known! But for now, highly recommend!
