CAPITOL HILL. A trusty Capitol Hill standby since the late '80s, Vivace is known all over the area for its beautiful coffee beverages (in fact, the cafe's motto, "una bella tazza di caffe," means just that). Here, shots of espresso and cups of latte (no drip coffees here!) reach new levels of vigor, thanks in large part to the owners' extensive knowledge of the Italian roasting process and to the strong hints of caramel present in each sip. After getting your fix from the barista, have a seat at a cozy, cafe-style table and take in the stylish scene: checkered tile floors, European advertising posters, and a young, trendy clientele.
