No week is complete without having had at least one, professionally made hot caffeinated drink.
Vida e Caffé is awkwardly situated on the first floor of Melrose Arch’s shopping district, inbetween escalators and a row of clothing, jewellery and home décor stores. This, however, does not stop it from being frequented by exhausted shoppers, rowdy children and the odd gentleman who quickly slips away from the nightmare of following his better half around who constantly rummages through endless clothing racks.
Well lit by the glass ceiling above it, the weather sets the mood and a number of Chesterfield couches draped with throws gives it a cozy feel (and makes me wish I was inside a library). Orders are taken by the keen and friendly staff. C1 and I each ordered a cappuccino – these were piping hot, had a fairly strong coffee flavour and were finished off with an individually wrapped Lindt dark chocolate placed on each saucer – a nice touch.

Branded crockery and little extras is the name of the game |
Plus: good drinks, some small snacks such as muffins and sandwiches on offer.
Minus: it’s difficult to get past the location of this café.
