Caffe Vita soon to serve more than just caffeinated drinks

Seattle coffee shop and roasting company Caffe Vita was born in Lower Queen Anne fifteen years ago, and now may be bringing drinks with a little more kick to the store where it all began. Two weeks ago the local chain applied for a liquor license for its Queen Anne location, at 813 5th Ave N.

I stopped by and chatted with one of the baristas a few days ago who, having just come back from vacation, had not yet heard of the caffe’s plans, but was excited at the prospect of offering some “light beer and wine” at the neighborhood spot. Although it is not yet know if and when the application will be approved (I’m still waiting to hear back from the owners on what their new items will include), Caffe Vita will not be the first independent coffee shop to add beer and wine offerings to their menu, joining the ranks of El Diablo on the hill and Aster Coffee Lounge in Ballard.
