Greetings from LA! Today marks the opening of our pop-up shop inside of Rudy’s Barbershop Silverlake. We’ll be serving up coffee and selling holiday blend now through December 31st. 100% of profits will go directly to CoachArt, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that promotes the art of improving lives by matching volunteer coaches in the arts and athletics with children affected by chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
The pop-up will be open Monday-Saturday from 9AM-4PM and Sunday from 11AM-4PM. We’re excited to open our first permanent cafe in Los Angeles right next door to Rudy’s Silverlake in January. Until then, stop by for a buzz and support a great organization!

We’re excited to announce the opening of our LA pop-up shop on Monday, November 26th inside of Rudy’s Barbershop at 4451 West Sunset Boulevard. 100% of profits from all coffee drinks will be donated directly to CoachArt, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that promotes the art of improving lives by matching volunteer coaches in the arts and athletics with children affected by chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
For more than a decade, CoachArt has provided chronically ill children and their families in the greater Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco Bay areas with “permission to play.” Currently, CoachArt works with over 500 volunteer coaches and 90 arts and athletics associations to serve nearly 2,000 students annually.
The pop-up shop will be open Monday-Saturday from 9AM-4PM and Sunday from 11AM-4PM. We’ll be featuring French press samples of our 2012 Holiday Blend as well as 12oz bags for purchase.
We’re excited to announce the arrival of our 2012 Holiday Blend! This year, Vita’s Holiday Blend features two unique coffees from the Southern Hemisphere:
A vibrant organic coffee from the high jungle of La Convencion, Peru is paired with the distinctive island flavors of Flores, Indonesia to produce a richly spiced and deliciously sweet toned cup. Full-bodied, gentle acidity with hints of mulling spice and dark chocolate. A perfect complement to the season!
We look forward to celebrating the holidays with you!
Vita was featured in a round up of Northwest coffee landmarks in SAVEUR Magazine, along with Drew’s own story of growing up immersed in Seattle coffee culture in the 80′s:
In 1983 my two mothers, Meredith and Elyse, bought an espresso cart, parked it along Alki Beach in West Seattle, and unknowingly positioned themselves among a handful of coffee pioneers in the Northwest. A year later, I came along. I have spent my life surrounded by coffee.
