Espresso Vivace: One of Seattle's great coffee spots

My coffee addiction can resume now that I am back in Seattle.  I have tried a few things on the Vivace menu from a simple shot of espresso to the more complex Caffe Nico.  My favorite is the Caffe Caramel that is subtly sweet and topped with a creamy, hand-designed foam.  Now that I've been spoiled by these espresso drinks, it's hard for me to find equivalents when I'm out of town.

Espresso Vivace, started up by David Schomer and Geneva Sullivan, has an interesting story that involves 15 years of research and scientific precision!  They definitely have lived up to their motto at everyone of my many visits - I always get "una bella tazza di cafe."

Schomer's book is also a good read.  It's a book that's pretty well known by many pro baristas.
