Vive La Tarte - Reviews

My experience involved ordering a single cappuccino, which surprisingly took 22 minutes to arrive, and the milk was scalding hot. While the vibes were great and the staff friendly, they appeared clearly inexperienced. This place has potential, but I wish they could improve their coffee preparation time to be under 20 minutes.

My experience at this restaurant was a perfect start to the day. I enjoyed smooth lattes and a croissant that always gets it right. The service was delivered with a smile, making the overall experience excellent.

I only stopped in for a quick coffee, and their black coffee was delicious and smooth. It cost $4 for a 12 oz. The restaurant seems to have good seating for breakfast or lunch, and the atmosphere was great.

As a local, I wanted to love this place, but my experience at Vive was consistently mediocre. The food quality was disappointing, especially given the relatively high prices, even for San Francisco. This combination makes Vive a pass for me.

My recent experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I visited for a quick pastry, but the pain au chocolat was soft and comparable to a Costco croissant. Given the decline in quality, I would recommend going across the street instead.

My experience involved trying two croissants: the key lime croissant and the orange blossom zatar croissant. The key lime croissant was filled with key lime curd and topped with meringue. Unfortunately, the meringue was split, and I felt there was too much of it. I also found the filling to be excessive and, due to its liquidy nature, it kept spilling out, leaving me unimpressed. The orange blossom croissant was a better option, though I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it.

We love coming here for breakfast and coffee. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere is cosy. The sourdough bread is also really nice. Side note, don’t sell tartes here.

My experience at this restaurant was primarily positive due to its great atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to meet someone for coffee. The food also received a perfect score, indicating a high level of satisfaction. However, the coffee experience was limited as they only offered one option for drip coffee, which might disappoint coffee enthusiasts. The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere also scored a perfect 5. The food was also rated a perfect 5, and the price per person was between $10–20.

This is such a warm and welcoming spot. The smell of fresh bread and pastries hits you as soon as you walk in, it’s amazing. The coffee is really good, and the people here are kind and genuine. The owner is especially lovely and makes you feel right at home. You can tell everything is made with care. They’re great with kids — my son and niece were with us every time, and they always made us feel comfortable.

My experience at this cafe was great for a cafe meal or bite. However, it is not suitable for remote working or using hotspots as there is no wifi and cell reception is a maximum of 2 bars. The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect score of 5.
