A funky sustainable cafe serving, mostly organic vegan-vegetarian food, new cocktail list a house made wasabi spiced vegan bloody mary, and a good selection of biodynamic, organic and vegan wines.

Family happy hour, kids eat for a buck from 5 to 7 pm every night.

There is a great out door dining in large garden patio, with bocce ball court. Check out our web site www.vita-cafe.com

this place was truly yummy, though the service lacked a little. our server never came back and we were served our food by the cook i think! i had the chicken fried steak, which was amazing! perfect in every way-i'm not a big fan of almond gravy (i prefer mushroom), but this almond gravy was delectable! the chicken fried steak was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
my boyfriend had the buffalo tofu wrap. he said it was good, but nothing to write home about. the fries, however, were excellent.

As one of the owners of the Vita, I wanted to address the review regarding the non vegan sausage. At the Vita we provide a menu with over 80% Vegan options. Last summer our vegan sausage distributer went kaput and we could not find a replacement. We chose to carry Mrning Star vegetarian sausage instead.

The reviewer is 100% correct this is not a vegan sausage - all of our menus reflect this change and the servers (many of whom are vegan) are very aware of this too. We are TRUELY sorry for your experience and 100% respect your vegan life style choice. I would love to personally apolgize to you for this frustrating experience.

Our commitment to Vegan eating is strong and true. We have so many vegan options even a wasabi spiced vegan bloody mary and vegan wines. Here are just some of the options available.. the choice of tofu or tempeh with each breakfast entree, to the sietan cheese steak sandwhich with a vegan cheese option, the Sweetpea vegan cheese cake, the vegan nachos or the vegan mac and cheese, the super grain salad, the daily vegan soup and daily vegan special. Eight out of nine of our entrees are vegan and all of our starters are vegan.

We work hard to provide a cafe with mostly Vegan choices and I hope that we can serve you soon.
