The muffin seemed old enough to bear kids and the coffee too was disappointing.<br/><br/>Maybe I am ordering the wrong cup, what do you guys suggest? @craniac – Unfortunately my experiences at Cavendish has been vastly different.

Maybe I am ordering the wrong cup, what do you guys suggest?

I think they make great coffee. Not a Cape Town thing as I’ve had nothing but good experiences at the Cavendish Square and Somerset Mall Vida branches. I think they make great coffee.

Great service, great food, great coffee!

I went to Vida in Long / Hope street in Cape Town and it wasn't the best - stale rolls and the coffee was way too damned hot. <br/><br/>Its also about letting the guys know that they've cocked up - I think that positive critique is needed especially with a growing brand which Vida most certainly is.<br/><br/>Did I mention that I'm a Vida - fan - man and that I go to Vida every day :( Perhaps its the Jozi baristas fear of being hauled over the counter should they pour a crappy cup of coffee.

Its also about letting the guys know that they’ve cocked up – I think that positive critique is needed especially with a growing brand which Vida most certainly is.

Did I mention that I’m a Vida – fan – man and that I go to Vida every day :(

Rosebank Mall's branch is particularly good too. Go check out what I've written about food / coffee on Moral Fibre www.moralfibre.co.za<br/><br/>Also just one handy hint - in order to ensure that you receive great coffee tell the "refugee" to ensure that he doesn't burn the coffee, ask him to turn the heat down a little bit as this will ensure the brewing process doesn't destroy the taste..
