You will gather I like this place! This excellent coffee shop has reopened and what a difference – gone is the crowded shop and limited seating – in its place an open café style inside area and outside in the mall concourse - modern furnishings and proper chairs – a great improvement coupled with good coffee – what more can you ask for?

This very good coffee shop is closed for renovations - there is no indication of when it will reopen - looking forward when it does for my morning latte

My favorite coffee shop in this pleasant Mall – positioned at the foot of the main escalators and at the intersection of two busy walkways it is a great place to enjoy a great cup of coffee, relax and watch the passing parade the mall is not as busy as it used to be but is coming back to life and the faces of the people walking by are of of course masked which now seems to have become a fashion statement - the staff here are very pleasant and to top it all the coffees are on special

The staff went above and beyond when something I tried to order was not yet in the system. They really did try hard to find it, and when I said I could order something else, they went beyond what was necessary to make my visit the best it could be.

This is fast becoming a regular stop - the coffee is good, the service smart and the grande size cup ok value - what adds to this is the outside in the Mall seating where I can relax and watch the world passing by whilst my partner is maxing my credit card in the never ending 50% off sales - tried a snack this time - fresh pastry - good taste - worth a try.

I often pop into Vida for a coffee and croissant. The service here was good, but the custard croissant on two different occasions has fallen short. It was cold and tough unlike the light and airy version Iv tried in Sunninghill. Coffee still hits the spot - but I won't be trying any cakes / pastries.

Popped in here for a quick coffee and sandwich – the coffee was great and the eats fresh from a nice but limited selection – this is an order and pay at the counter concept and collect when ready – I sat outside and felt a number and delivery system would have avoided having to watch the counter instead of the passing parade in the mall but I will go back as it is quick and convenient and not expensive.
