Caffe Vita's 10th location is now open on the ground floor of Seattle's Smith Tower, channeling the old-school charm of the 1914 skyscraper it calls home.
Zoom in: Thanks to the corner location's floor-to-ceiling windows, the space is expansive and full of light.
- Throughout the store, vintage-style tiles mingle with wood paneling and wrought iron accents for an art-deco throwback feel.
If you go: The cafe is equipped with lots of outlets, making it ideal for a brainstorming meeting with colleagues or catching up on emails outside the office.
Dig in: The pastry case is stuffed with sweets from Macrina Bakery and Donut Factory.
- Beer and wine will be available for purchase soon, a staff member told me.
Stop by: 500 2nd Ave. 7am-7pm Monday through Saturday.
