Cafe Vita in Rugby

I stopped by as an out-of-towner for a sunday brunch. I had eggs royale, it was very nice indeed and nicely presented. Lovely venue (we sat outside as weather was good) and accommodating, very friendly staff! Hope to be back soon. 😀

Best coffee in town for sure. Very tasty Panini, especially tune one. Nice and attentive staff. Will be Bk soon

We had lunch here, two couples, one couple with salads, the other with lasagna.Both salads were excellent; for the second one we had to ask for a little more dressing. Both substantial and well presented. The lasagna looked good and went down a treat. They arrived more than piping hot, as if they had been cooked in Mount Etna, so careful as you start eating them. Far better than the oftern lukewarm lasagne one get in cafes;

I visited on a sunny morning last week. Was very pleased to be able to sit outside and it was an enjoyable experience. Good coffee and croissant. It felt safe, although had to go inside to pay. Two pleasant waitresses had served at tables up till then. My only concern-I thought it was procedure throughout restaurants and cafes to be asked for contact details in case of a covid outbreak. Nobody asked my friend or I for even our names.

Really missed this place since lockdown began. So glad it is still trading! The food is excellent, as are the coffee and cakes. Staff are friendly and efficient. Blueberry cake is always a treat for me!

This family run Italian styled cafe, offers a good range of hot and cold food at reasoable prices. The staff are friendly and the service is good. The coffee is of the best and my favourite tipple. Allergy advice is eagerly given in order thyat you might enjoy your most appropriate food according to your diet.

Hello Friends,One of the little remainers in the Rugby small cafe group. I did have some eggs and toasts and avocado and smocked slamons and tea and milk and sugar and some chewing gums but I brought those ones myself. Found all items to be very pleasing to me. I ate all of my food if you care.Much Love

We use Cafe Vita every week and genuinely cannot fault it. Great coffee, good food and friendly attentive staff. We will never set foot in any of the chains again.

We popped in for lunch and it was nice - staff were friendly and the food was pretty good. Reasonable prices

I really used to like this place and was a very frequent visitor. I used to forgive the cash-only under £10 rule because their coffee used to be so good - but now we're well into an age of contactless card payments and this just seems plain odd, (and actually a little dubious)... In the last year I've definitely fallen out of love with it.

Really enjoyed this place, stop of for coffee and cake after a late morning visit. The coffee was very good and the carrot cake was lovely. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Only thing was need cash for under £10 as it is the minimum amount for card payments. Would recommend a visit

I went to Cafe Vita to meet my friend as we have never been there before. The cafe itself is quite nice.Unfortunately the service is absolutely atrocious! The staff there weren't friendly or smiling, and actually one of the girls was quite rude to my friend when she would have ordered the same ham and cheese croissant that I had ordered earlier.I know we all have good and bad days, however if you have life THAT much, then better not to be in the customer facing role. Please also note they don't take cards for purchases less than £10!

This restaurant is in the centre of Rugby. The food was superb and tasted great. The staff were first class too. I would certainly call here again when visiting the area.

It was the first proper outing with my wife in her wheelchair. On the approach to the door we were spotted about 20 yards away and the doors were being held open by the time we got to them. Once we’d found a table, the staff then removed a chair and then slightly moved the table to make space for the wheelchair.As for the food, that was just as good as the attention we got from the staff. My chicken and bacon panini was lovely, and the coffee was great. This was my first time, and I really can’t fault the place, so will be going back when I get the chance.

Always willing to give independent coffee shops/restaurants our custom rather than the big national chains, we went here for a snack lunch, as first-time visitors to Rugby, where we were attending a conference. We were served promptly by friendly staff, and the croque madame snacks we ate were as good as any we've tasted this side of France! The coffee was excellent and the tea beyond reproach. We left, rather wishing this establishment were on our home patch!

A refreshing change from Costa, Starbucks etc. Friendly service and good cakes and light meals offered. We will return.

I've visited Cafe Vita several times now for a quick lunch. The menu is different and refreshing, and the food is always delicious. Whether I am with my mother or my 2 year old, we are always made welcome and the staff are always friendly and polite. The prices are extremely reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed and calm.

From some time now, I discovered Cofe Vita,best place to have a relaxing time with my friends enjoying the best coffee in town with a cake or a good proper home made breakfast.

My friend and I went for a meal on Saturday .We were greeted by friendly staff.

I've been very disappointed with Caffe Vita recently. I am a regular and have been going since it opened (weekly until the last price rise in which we had to go less often). I'd built up a rapport with the guy who runs it and have been a very happy customer. My son only eats certain food and he has happily obliged by making him food that was previously on the menu. We are also known to sit upstairs. The last 3 times however have differed. On attempt one and two we were asked to move seats multiple times and not allowed upstairs or even on tables we'd like to sit on downstairs. Food was also cold in the middle. On attempt 3, we were again not allowed upstairs to eat, and this time also told they could no longer accommodate my sons requirements. They've also changed the menu, putting prices up a second time and removing the items we always have. The man who we always talk to chose to ignore our existence and although my son asked to speak to him, was blocked by a lady member of staff. Very unusually bad customer service and not something I'd come to expect from them. We walked out on this third recent visit. We are very disappointed and can't see us returning. Such as a shame as we've been recommending the place for quite a while.

This is one of my favourite cafes in Rugby. Great place to have coffee and delicious breakfast or tea with fresh cake. Atmosphere is wonderful, staff are welcoming and friendly. Food are freshly prepared and delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful atmosphere, a lot of different choices for the breakfast, delicious, strong coffee and fresh cakes (vanilla cheesecake is my favourite). The staff are super friendly and polite. If you get the chance well worth a visit.

What could be nicer! Sunny day, good 'light' lunch and excellent coffee in a modern, clean atmosphere. Service was good and pretty good food choices on the menu in a bright airy atmosphere.

Great service, food was delicious. Definitely satisfied when we were leaving. Perfect for a quick brunch

Tried to bring my family here for lunch and will never go back. If you have food allergies please do not risk eating here! Not only did the manager not even know what an allergy menu was, he was aggressive and extremely rude when we tried to explain it is actually the law!

We visited here on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite to eat for lunch. The staff seem indifferent to customers arriving into the cafe and service is definitely not with a smile. I asked to order a Croque Madame and was told that as it was on the breakfast menu and it was now after 1pm it couldn’t be served...only for the table next to ours to order off the breakfast menu with no issues!

Serves the best coffee, most amazing panini's and has literally the coolest and friendliest staff ever!!

Visited for lunch - very good panini. However the meal was spoiled for me because the ground floor was contaminated by tobacco smoke. When I complained the staff did not think this was a problem.

Popped in for coffee and lunch. Service was friendly and coffee was superb. We had panini which are freshly made, not prepackaged. Overall a great individual coffee shop with food and service to match.

Super little cafe with genuine, friendly staff and an impressively creative menu especially for Rugby. Much better and wider choice than your regular coffee chains. We had a delicious breakfast of coffee, hot chocolate and chocolate and cream crepes to start. We also ordered crispy bacon, scrambled eggs with avocado and toast but the kids almost ate it all before we could even have a bite! Will certainly come back and definitely recommend to stop for a warm drink and a bite any day.

Stopped by here on a rainy afternoon while in Rugby town centre as I fancied coffee and cake....had seen many reviews about this place online so decided to check it out. Very pleased! The decor was so cosy, warm and inviting. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Enjoyed the delicious, authentic coffee with a scrumptious slice of lemon cake.

Great pastries. Yummy. Carrot cake huge but disappointing as no nutty taste. Lemon cake got full marks. Chocolate cake lower score as not chocolatey enough for our 6 year old expert.

Mi esposa y yo me encontré con este pequeño y precioso oasis mientras pague una visita a un cliente cerca de la escuela.

Un bonito lugar para tomar café, los hay de un montón de sabores. Yo recomiendo el vanilla latte y el mocha

Olvídate de costa o nero en rugby mejor lugar starbucks café y aperitivos para una gran relación calidad-precio. Siempre sirve para corregir la temperatura. Noce que alguien haga de café que sabe lo que está haciendo.

Fantástica alternativa a su nombre y grandes cadenas de café mejor comida, café y servicio. Un tesoro escondido en el Rugby. Buena variedad de comida y variedad y diferente a otros lugares. El personal siempre dispuesto y acogedor

They do lovely flavoured coffees. My favourite is Irish Cream Latte, Tables by Windows are good,you can watch people going past.

We popped in for a late breakfast snack. The food was great and the staff helpful. Coffee good too .

Great coffee and a nice selection of cakes. Helpful staff and cosy atmosphere. I really like the decor. A lot of people still haven't discovered it yet but I hope more do. I'll be trying their other food soon and if it's as good as the cakes it'll be great. Another review to follow. I'll photograph the menu as well. Funny how people are reluctant give 5 star rating if they think a place is wonderful........surely that's what it deserves?

We popped in here today whilst shopping in Rugby What a pleasant surprise. Very rustic atmosphere and helpful and pleasant staff. Service quickWe both had salads and a cake blueberry for me and a pastry for my wife with coffee. I tried the mocha which is made the proper Italian way and was delicious.Jacket potatoes,panini`s, crepes, baguettes, Italian bread and other quick lunch food are also availableWe shall return whenever we are in the town.

I tend to forget this cafe is here, and can never remember its name, but I went with mum yesterday and we had coffee and blueberry cake. Mocha was great - a pool of molten chocolate at the bottom, no nasty powdery stuff. I wondered how fresh the cake was but a big, moist, tasty slice came and it was good. The service was very helpful & friendly too.

I have passed many times but have been off put by steamed up windows. Today I ventured forth. My first impression was the smell of cooked fat. Yuk. Not my ideal. The decor reminds me of an overseas coffee bar. Somehow it feels a little confused. The staff member was efficient and helpful. The tea and pastry were excellent. Will I come back? I don't know because Rugby has other coffee shops which I am trying.

Visited ad hoc for lunch. Had a jacket potato with a chicken salad. Very nice.Staff are very friendly and great service. Will be back.

One of the most authentic café's in Rugby. Good coffee, friendly service and excellent café food, freshly made. We have used this café since it opened and keep coming back! Best place on a rainy day in town?

Why did I only give a 4 if the coffee and service were so good? Because the toilet is upstairs making it inaccessible to anyone who isn't mobile. Not acceptable in this day and age.

Me and my colleagues went there for a coffee after work. We arrived around 4pm and even though the place is open till 6pm we left around 5pm as we felt like disturbing the staff. Cleaning, brushing the floor next to us? Basically closing one hour earlier. Makes us feel very uncomfortable.

Been here a few times and the coffee is really good but the food is 'meh' at best.Slightly overpriced for the quality of food, their pastries seem shop bought! The waitress is slightly abrasive and collects items from the table before everyone is finished.On a good note, their coffee is brilliant! Very tasty and cappuccino is always frothy :)Pop in on a rainy day!

I love going in here but I asked recently if any of their breads etc were suitable for coeliacs. Unfortunately the answer was no which would be ok but I thought it should say so on the menu. However when I looked through the menu I realised why. There is no food which my friend could eat. So the menu would have to say that everything had gluten. Not a good selling point. One or two items which didn't have gluten would be a great addition to the menu.

Called in here for lunch. Cafe was very busy both inside and out but service was quick. We needed more time to choose because of the variety so our waitress returned shortly afterwards. Our drinks were brought quickly and it was really good to have a cappuccino which tasted like coffee not hot milk. My wife had olives from the starter menu whilst I had a filled tuna roll which needed a knife and fork to eat due to the amount of filling, not just tuna but eggs and olives as well as salad. Really excellent quality and service. We will return next time we visit Rugby

I love the coffee in Cafe Vita. Friendly staff! I like the design of the fixtures and fittings in here as well. Fits into this part of Rugby nicely.

I have visited this cafe several time, the food is wonderful, the coffees are served perfectly the surroundings are a perfect and the staff are always cheerful and accomodating.

Lovely place, have been here first time but really enyojed it ;) Hazelnut latte was amazing ;) environment is perfect, you feel so cozy and relaxed ;)

I went there twice and have to admit I don't enjoy being there. Place is clean and designed in Brasilian style but I didn't find there a relaxing atmosphere. I liked hazelnut coffe which was brilliant but starter: hummus with a slice of bread didn't have a proper consistency and breads slices were extremely small.

We often visit here as the coffee, according to my husband, is the best in Rugby! Lovely pancakes/crepes, the cakes and pastries are tasty, and generally a nice atmosphere. Family friendly too -if there aren't enough seats, they rush over and move two tables together.

I went here for coffee on a visit to Rugby. The young waitress was very professional and helpful. The coffee was impressive. I went back the following day, and had lunch, which was very tasty - not the largest portion, but it was a pretty reasonable price, so no complaints. I go to Rugby occasionally, and would see no need to seek alternatives, as this ticks many boxes.

Had lunch here yesterday - nice find and good decor. Staff were good and food arrived quite quickly. The food we had was nicely presented and tasted good. My hot chocolate was very good so top marks for that. Two downsides, though - food was a bit pricey for what it was and the ladies could do with a thorough clean: the door was quite dirty around the handle - shows up quite badly on a white painted door - which is inexcusable in this day and age and could have been cleaned quite easily. Also floor could be a bit cleaner: dirty corners, I'm afraid...

I left Rugby several years ago but visit regularly and on every visit, i call in to Cafe Vita, sometimes daily!Their coffee is great, i have eaten breakfasts and lunches and every time the food is hot and served with good presentation and in a decent waiting time, no matter how busy the room is. You are never kept waiting long to be served.I just wish i had a coffee shop like this up in North Yorkshire to go to but nothing beats the friendliness and welcome you get from Moji, Sam and the staff,.Give it a visit, you wont be sorry you did

I really don't understand Norma P's comment about the lasagne at Cafe Vita! It is brilliant and far from the budget type that she describes.

Went in for lunch and chose lasagne from the menu. This place has a trendy , artisan décor with the ceiling covered with sacking. I was very disappointed with the lasagne which had the appearance and taste of one from a budget ,supermarket range of Italian food. It was soft, mushy and tasteless with no proper taste of meat . The service was generally OK .

Cafe Vita is a fantastic, independent, individual and friendly cafe. They always make me feel welcome. The food is amazing, you can pick anything drink/snack/meal and you'll never be disappointed. Take friends, family, anyone or just treat yourself! Highly recommend it! A great local business to support. I make a visit every time I'm back from university.

I love my coffee, and it's seems that the only place for a decent coffee is this place! We like to come every weekend for brunch/lunch and we never have a bad word to say. Such great value and lovely friendly staff. Their tip box was stolen the other day, which was so disgusting and sad! So don't forget to tip! It can get really busy so best avoid the lunch rush.

For my wife and I this is, by far, the best Italian coffee experience in Rugby. If you truly enjoy an excellent coffee then this is the cafe to visit. We usually order cappuccinos and they come with Muhammad's genuine latte art. We never have to add sugar to these delicious drinks, as we do in other coffee shops. We've been regular visitors to Cafe Vita since it opened almost 2 years ago. Located in the heart of Rugby town centre on High Street, it's a great place to start your visit to the town. Muhammad and his team offer a warm and friendly welcome, with excellent service. There is a nice ambience here with wooden tables and chairs, low lighting but with big windows. Although we've not sampled the hot foods offered, they always look very appetizing and good value.

Been here a few times and the coffee is excellent and the food is really really good. I recommend the muffin and sausage with sunny side up egg. Very well priced, quick service and pleasant chatty atmosphere.

Dropped if for breakfast. Was not sure if it was open as they have a load of chairs stacked in the front window? Anyhow went in - coffee was excellent very good food was ok, needs to check on cooking times. But would go back. Staff ok, not massively welcoming.

nice little independent coffee shop serving slightly different food. We enjoyed and omlette and pannini and followed them with crepes with lemon and sugar and banana and maple syrup. The food was lovely and staff friendly and efficient; will revisit.

My first and last encounter in this coffee shop . Went in to get coffee and cake only to be told when I went to pay that because my order was less than £10 pounds I had to pay with cash . I don,t very often carry cash anymore so I was told to go to the cash point across from the shop because they didn't,t charge for a withdraw of money .Imade it clear that the bank may not charge but my credit card would, and they did £3.00 . That ment my coffee and cake cost £7.75 ,I found it very embarrassing to be treated like.The sensible thing to do would be to make a charge for the transaction and not treat customers in such a shabby way.

Came with friends for late breakfast/ brunch. The coffee was so nice we had two each before and after breakfast!!! I had scrambled eggs and bacon, it was super, fresh, tasty and just the right amount. Decor is nice with funky wood and metal lights. Service was great, polite and efficient. Will be back again soon.

We were visiting Rugby on Sunday and found this coffee shop on High street. The coffee was very good, the atmosphere is warm and staff is welcoming and friendly . Definitely worth to go there again next time I visit Rugby

This Brazilian cafe gives a different dinning experience. The decoration is something you don't often seen in the UK. Gunny sacks on the ceiling, rough wooden table and chair...My favourite is their mocha with cream on the top.....It is delicious. They use proper real chocolate rather than powder. I also recommend their Grilled and Chilled dish if you are a vegetarian. My favourite desert is their banana crepe. My daughter's is chocolate crepe. They do make their crepe base by themselves. The service there is great.

I have visited this coffee shop a number of times. It has a good atmosphere and is well decorated in the cafes theme. I usually go with my 8 year old son as it's the first coffee shop we've found that does proper food that he will eat i.e. not just cake. I have also taken along my husband on one occasion & my brother another time. Each time has proved a hit. My personal preference is the crispy bacon topped muffin with fried egg, crepe with nutella and a decaf cappuccino. My 8 year old recommends either the scrambled egg & bacon on toast or the french pizza baguette, chocolate cake & apple juice. The side salad does get covered in dressing so be sure to ask for it without if dressing isn't your thing.The staff are friendly and have been very patient & smiley when my son has insisted on ordering everything himself. The staff come to your table to serve you and you pay at the till at the end. This did catch us out on the first couple of occasions as other cafes in Rugby insist you pay at the start, so i did very nearly walk out without paying. The cafe takes card payments over £10, but if you order less than £10 worth then it is cash only. There is a cash machine just outside the front door though.Most of the tables are 2's, but there are 3x tables of 4+ and I have seen others putting tables together to make larger ones. There are also tables outside although i've only ever sat inside. It tends to get a little busy at lunchtimes, but is very quiet the rest of the day. Regardless i've always found a table and service has always been good.Toilets are situated upstairs and are pleasant enough.This is not the sort of cafe i have ventured into with my toddler. For that i go nextdoor to Kuni's. But this is a great cafe for slightly older children & adults. Highly recommended.

Have been in a few times now. I go for the coffee which is good, the kids go for the crepes which seem to be good judging by the speed with which they disappear! Service is good and I like their use of old coffee sacks the cover the ceiling. All in, a pleasant experience and a nice change from the usual chain style of cafe.

First visit here and I don't think it will be the last. The coffee was tasty, probably could have been a bit hotter which I meant to comment on as I left but the girls were busy and I did not want to interrupt them. My food was a toasted Ciabatta with tomatoes and pesto dressing. It was nice, filled the gap.My only gripe would be there was not an up to date newspaper. When I asked for one I was passed a 3 day old paper. The service was prompt and helpful.

Visited for the first time, an ideal location for a business lunch. portions were on the smaller side, and perhaps a little pricey, and service seemed a little slow, but overall a pleasant experience.

Upon recommendation by one of my team members, I agreed to meet at this Cafe which is situated between High Street and Sheep Street opposite Wooll street on Duke's Jetty.The coffee was excellent and was just the pick me up I needed to move forward with my one to one meeting.I was sorely tempted by the Croque Monsieur but this can wait until another time.

We dropped in for a drink and a snack on a Monday morning and although the savory food was its usual excellent self, apart from a couple of croissants there were no cakes to be seen, just empty plates on display. My husband was delighted with his panino and tea, but I just settled for the excellent hot chocolate.We'll be back again soon, so make sure those cakes are stocked up, especially the gorgeous chocolate cake!

I had THE best Antipasta plate this afternoon. Beautifully presented and filling. Their coffee was perfect and not too hot. Thank you for a really satisfying lunch. Will see you soon!

We've occasionally got to Rigby with my family, during our holiday trip to the UK. We popped in for a lunch to Caffe Vita and never regret to do so - beautiful experience. Delicious deserts and the best coffee so far.. Coffee in London sukkz, generally.

I have been to Cafe Vita several times since it opened and I think it's such a great addition to the town centre, particularly in area which is somewhat in need of regeneration. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is good value. They have a great menu with lots of choice and everything I have had has been delicious. At times, when busy, food has been a little slow but nothing to worry about too much as when it comes, it's always good.A new regular haunt for me in Rugby!

My partner and I come here nearly every day for cappucino (double shot) and mocha, which we think are the best in Rugby. Love the decor, the atmosphere and especially the staff who remember us every time and are always friendly and very efficient. They have an interesting menu mainly of snacks including bagettes and paninis but they also do specialities like 'Grilled and Chilled' (grilled aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, courgettes) with mint, lemon and ciabatta bread. Everything has it's own little twist to it and they use different breads, herbs etc which make for interesting dishes. We rarely go anywhere else now!

Just when I thought Rugby couldn't sustain yet another coffee shop, along came Cafe Vita. I've lunched there twice in the past month and will be paying many more visits.The selection of sandwiches, panini and other savoury snacks is brilliant. The food is delivered quickly and the service is excellent.If you don't care about the possible weight gain, try the chocolate cake, it's to die for!

So friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The food and the drinks superb, I couldn't of been happier. I was visiting Rugby and was with a large group of friends and each of us were equally impressed. You will find a breakfast fit for kings here, a menu that caters for all; the milk shakes pure heaven and the crepes divine. I would eat here every day if I could. I just wish there was a Cafe Vita where I live. Independent gems like this are so rare in a world of cardboard chain restaurants; filled to the brim with pasta and pizza dough. Well done Cafe Vita, someone has got it right for once! Bless you.

Have visited caffe vita on many occasions and every time they are friendly courteous and helpful. Table service by the most wonderful waitress. The coffee is fantastic and after a couple of visits she remembers how you like it. The cake is to die for and the main food is beautiful, value for money and loads of it.I can't recommend Caffe Vita highly enough. You have to try it.

If they can't get the basics right - we went roughly 10am on a Friday, and from our order, they ran out of cream, the toast was soggy pre-buttered poor quality low grade bread, and the scrambled eggs were pale tasteless mush.The prices were not that cheap for the offerings. Seated service but then you have to hunt the till to pay the bill at the end. Worth a try but not again. Shame.The decor was nice though !

Visited here for the first time and had good service along with good food. Coffee is great here will definitely return.

Ive literally just taken the last sip of the tastiest hot chocolate ever created. Made with two types of chocolate 1 being nutella it's a warm cup of chocolaty heaven. Fantastically friendly staff and fabulous atmosphere. I will be back next week and raving it about it to all my friends and my customers at work. I didn't actually eat anything but gave a 5 for the food cause it looks and sounds amazing.

I was looking for a nice cafe in the city centre and saw Cafe Vita. It opened recently and I thought I'd give it a try.I was looking for something light so I ordered Croque Monsieur and went for a crepe afterwards.Service is fast and so is waiting time. Both of the waitresses were very helpful and welcomed guests as they walked in the door.Food! Croque Monsieur consists of 2 nice slices of toast with quite a lot of cheese on it,pieces of ham and a juicy tomato,salad garnish. Tastes really good and is sufficient for a light lunch or late breakfast.Then I got greedy and ordered a crepe with ice cream. They didn't have a jam option on the menu but I asked and they added it anyway.Overall,really nice place for breakfast or lunch break,solo or with friends. Will visit again. Thank You :-)

Our first visit here and it won't be the last. Great food and coffee. Fantastic service. Owner is friendly and helpful and makes sure all visitors are well looked after. He is proud to offer great coffee and fresh food with good size portions.Well worth a visit.

Having opened fairly recently, this place is a gem. Great coffee, friendly service and lovely food. The owner is a really friendly guy who is keen to give good service. Great to see an another independent serving great coffee and food.
