La Vida Café

Hands down to the best Café in Allentown. Outstanding place, and amazing people.

A Café doesn't get better than this: delicious sandwiches, coffee, perfect service and such a positive ambience.

I love the Cuban panini. These guys are the best of the best!

I'm visiting Allentown for the first time, and I always like to visit the local coffee shops. I found this one through Google maps, a few steps from where I'm staying. It has a cozy atmosphere, once I started my order the service and attention was very friendly. While I was waiting with my baby, the boys were preparing a delicious cappuccino, for my taste a perfect coffee, in flavor, presentation and temperature! I really liked the place 100% recommended

Food was one of the best ever. I got the rose garden on everything bagel, it wa so beautifully made and delicious. Love the ample vegetarian options!! The coffee could be better - the vanilla latte I got wasn’t very flavorful, more like a normal latte. Love the ample seating and great place to do work for the day. Will recommend and be back :))

Very sweet and kind servers. It was fast and fresh! I love avocados and this was really good. The roasted tomatoes were very flavorful! Perfect choice for a healthy, and lighter breakfast option. I would recommend if you are in the area!

As soon as I came into the cafe, I was treated as family. This establishment is the epitome of kindness, good food and a great place to hang out. If you need a good spot to go to, come check it out!! Say hello to Eli the owner and Eli working the grill, they are exceptional people. All other support staff are also really appreciated and add to the environment. Please stop by and give it a go!!

Amazing food rich in flavor, great management!! Our new favorite cafe!!!

Was my first time at La Vida Café. The experience was great. The employees Joey and Eli are very friendly and welcoming. The vibe was chill and the ambiance was cute. The food was very very good - I got the 7th Burger and my sister got the 4th Burger - they were both really tasty. Highly recommend visiting them for food and coffee.

Side note - Love their signs about gratitude and kindness.

Went here for the first time and was not disappointed. The Phantom breakfast sandwich was delicious and my salted caramel latte hit the spot perfectly. Was a bit sad they didn't have nitro or cold brew prepped but was overall happy with my second choice and will definitely return to try again.

Absolutely phenomenal staff, they were very friendly and formative. It was our first time in Allentown, we decided to stop by because of the raving reviews and we were delighted to see they were all true. Great ambiance, great music, great food, great coffee. The hash browns were perfectly crispy. If you’re around this area, definitely stop by!

Stopped in today 05/10/2023 for brunch. I ordered the South West salad. Oh my lord, that salad was good. Everything was fresh. The dressing is made in-house (which isn't too common anymore). The dressing light and not spicy at all. Every time I order a Southwest salad at other restaurants, it comes with an abundance of beans, and the dressing is from a bottle. This salad had the perfect amount of toppings, in my opinion. The salad is average price 12.50. The protein is an extra cost. I believe I paid about 3.75 for chicken. Which I think is a great price. The chicken was extremely moist and flavorful. It didn't taste like the cardboard chicken most restaurants put on their salad. It comes with one dressing. If you need another dressing, there is an extra cost. Most people only need one dressing. The salad was huge! I honestly couldn't finish it.

The staff was friendly and accommodating

The only Con is the tables are small. Great for lunch and all breakfast,

Overall 10/10 would recommend. I'll drive down from the Poconos again.

Wonderful experience at La Vida! Food is absolutely above average for a “Cafe”. We got an iced latte and a hot cappuccino and both were great. Food was awesome, we got The Phantom sandwich, Fries, and an omelette. We will be back!

Just had coffee and had it remade since it was too sweet (and I like sweet), asked for 2 extra shots of espresso but the beautiful lady making it decided to make me a new one. Very satisfied with the result. The first one was good also. but too sweet at this time for me.
Will be back with more time to sit down.

I’m in love with this place! My roommate decided we wanted real food instead of college food. best decision we’ve ever made. We will be visiting frequently. The staff was so friendly and the environment was very clean and comfy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also that 10% discount because it was our first time. We appreciate you!

Best bacon egg and cheese bagel I've had in a long time. I also took a to go for my man the Cuban sandwich and he absolutely loved it and said it was amazing. Super friendly staff also.

Took a road trip to Allentown because it was the half way point to meet friends + we stopped at this cute little spot! The food was absolutely AMAZING 🤤 still dreaming about this mozzarella pesto panini, the coffee was delicious & the staff was oh so friendly and welcoming! He offered us some yummy desserts too that were incredible! The whole vibe was great! Highly recommend ++++

Great local find. Open early, dog friendly, and nice coffee! They even swapped out my wife's cappuccino for being too milky. Breakfast was the cherry on top, nice attention to details and very tasty! Definitely recommended if you're stopping over for a wedding (like us).

Loved the atmosphere here! Was a very friendly welcome to a relaxed coffeehouse setting where you'd be comfortable reading a book, getting some work done or relaxing by yourself, with a friend or quaint date location. Food was great and the café was on point! Thank you all for a wonderful lunch! I am always prone to ask what is good at new places and they were great at helping me figure out the right option for me!

The service and prices were reasonable. They have outdoor and indoor seating, inside is really cozy but not much seating. Service was At, Joey (?) Was very nice and knowledgeable. Everything taste perfect, had a hit chai latte and a really good pesto egg sandwich.

It's my first time here and it was great food with a great atmosphere.
Omelet was soft and tasty(I got turkey, spinach, and onion in it)
The coffee was excellent.
All staff were very nice and considerate.
I’d like to visit again and try the Avocado toast.🙂

We visited this cafe about a week go and loved it so much. The food was so good and the coffee was amazing. Seriously some of the best coffee I've ever had. We sat a little bit longer to finish up some work and everyone was so friendly, it was a really great environment.
