Victrola Coffee Roasters has been part of Seattle's specialty coffee landscape since 2000. It's known for its welcoming cafés and commitment to quality, small-batch roasting. The brand's flagship café on 15th Avenue East in Capitol Hill captures its community-focused ethos with its vintage charm. At the same time, the downtown location on Pine Street offers a more modern vibe. Their roasting philosophy highlights each bean's characteristics, employing lighter roast profiles that showcase origin-specific flavors. Victrola has invested in building strong relationships with small, sustainable coffee farms to ensure exceptional quality.

With five locations around Seattle (as well as several out of state including in Portland, Oregon, and New York City), Caffé Vita has been roasting in the Emerald City since 1995.

Each location has a slightly different vibe and ambiance, which makes the entire experience extra special and unique.
