Whenever you bat around the superlative "best" and toss "coffee" into the mix, you're looking for trouble.

And especially in Seattle, if only because there's actually a company called Seattle's Best Coffee, but also because coffee is programmed into the DNA of every true Seatte-ite.

But if you want to steer away from "Best," and look for really, really great Coffee, you can't go wrong with Espresso Vivace Roasteria.

This is serious coffee, served by seriously professional baristas.

And over the years they've built a fanatical following. Nestled in Seattle's Capital Hill neighborhood, I trudged down Broadway on a chilly fall morning to re-visit this paragon of caffeine.

And I wasn't disappointed. As I neared the intersection at Denny's, I could already see the line snaking out the door and onto the stoop.

But the line didn't last long, with a handful of baristas efficiently churning out latte after latte, each one adorned with Vivace's signature artwork. With beans roasted onsite, it's how coffee is meant to be enjoyed.

It's pretty safe to say: Espresso Vivace Roasteria is truly Seattle's best coffee.
