Caffe Vivace

What a gem! Great ambiance, super friendly service, fantastic jazz, and great noshes. We had the African peanut stew that was delicious and super unique. Also had the Mediterranean veggie flatbread. Not bad. Coffee and tea drinks and selections are great too. If I lived nearby I would be there 3 times a week. Go when you see something that you want to listen to. Buy tix ahead of time, it sells out.

Great coffee shops with a variety of snack options. Chill & peaceful, I will definitely be back.

Found this place simply due to proximity of the AirBnb I stayed at. It was on a walkable street of the area. I became immediately obsessed with their chai tea latte. It was a house-made chai concentrate with house-made flavors. I got apple butter one morning and pumpkin another morning. Both were outstanding. Possibly my favorite chai ever. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was delicious, especially the croissant bun. There were only one staff member when we went, so it took awhile to get our order, but the person was very kind and welcoming. The place is cute inside and would be really fun for a jazz night.

Everything went well! The ambiance was perfect, the service was amazing and the drinks were tasty. We also thoroughly enjoyed the band. This was my 3rd time here and I will continue to tell others and return myself! This is definitely a best kept secret

The whole atmosphere of the place changes once it's nighttime. During the day I can read a book and enjoy some coffee. At night it's a great place to watch live performances. Staff is super helpful and fun to talk with.

The service was pretty much non existence for our group of three as we were sitting at the back of the place. The server only approached our table once and charged us $15 each for the three of us because that was the minimum food/drink cover despite her not checking back in once after we tried to get her attention. I still left a 20% tip because it felt awkward, but I wish I had spoken up and told her she doesn't deserve to charge us the full amount when we had wanted to order more and was not waited on the entire time.

A great variety of jazz every weekend! Use their ticketing system to grab a great seat, get there early and enjoy the food and spectacular bar choices. Highly highly recommended for the music fan in town or visiting.

Service was top notch, and the food was simple and fresh. The band was amazing we had a wonderful time. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Stopped in here in an effort to keep checking out more coffee places throughout Cincinnati. It's definitely one I'll be coming back to!First off, the guy who helped my friend and I was so nice! Always love great service and drinks were delivered to the table. I got a chai tea latter per usual (really wished I got 16 oz over 12 oz because it was DELICIOUS) and my friend got the the Sleeping Bee (their special)- this is different from her usual but she enjoyed it and would get again!Also, as others have noted, if you're a Yelper and check in you get a free cookie! Can't wait to come back to redeem it!Honestly, we just came during the afternoon to read a bit and it was nice and quiet. Not much else to say, can't talk on their jazz portion but it seems like a sweet time and great thing to support local musicians.

Service differs from day time to evening but once you learn how it works the service is fantastic. Great atmosphere.
