If you read my other three reviews of coffee-houses in the downtown area you will understand why I was dubious trying the new Vesta coffee-house. Well, they got everything right.
The atmosphere is unpretentious and modern. The staff is pleasant and happy. The prices are fair. The food I had was yummy. The coffee is very good, and, yes (believe it of not) they allow you to add the sweetener yourself. There was none of that "we can do it better than you" attitude like at PublicUs or that "we tell you where to sit" shtick you get at Makers and Finders.
There are two things that would make Vesta even better: a social loungy area and evening hours.
