Ate here for breakfast. Food was good, espresso drinks were delicious, the drip coffee could be improved. Service was good, and the ambiance was really nice. Worth it for an easy breakfast.
It is located at the end of nw 23rd but it is pretty popular because it is open late and it is good for a good read or doing homework. Coffee is always good while the crepes are ok, I personally opt for the sweet ones over the savory ones and they taste better. Staff are always friendly and service is quick if your in a rush. I personally enjoy vivace and recommend it.
Vivace has some delicious crepes. I like them because they are a bit sturdier than usual and fillings are pretty generous so you get a little more bang for your buck. It's a great place to go catch up with friends, especially in the summer with the outdoor seating. Only problem is sometimes seating can be hard to find inside, and the chairs are a little old and uncomfortable.
Their crepes are outstanding and one of the main reasons that I keep returning!
To me, this place is mainly for the cool "Portland" experience of eating tasty crepes in a big old Victorian house in the Pearl District. Outdoor porch seating is fun too. Good crepes of all kinds, sweet and savory. No complaints. Go get you a crepe!
I ordered a seasonal crepe, strawberries and blueberries. It was good but overpriced. It was $7.50 for a single crepe! Crepes at Disneyworld are half the price and same taste.
This place is really great for a lounge around breakfast/lunch and has a very comfortable vibe that you have to love!
Great service and delicious coffee! They have 3 different rooms for seating areas inside as well as a whole patio outside downstairs! It looks like a family home was reconstructed into a coffee shop!
They also have really cool art hanging around. They have free guest WiFi and outlets all around so a great place to get some work done while enjoying some good coffee!

We always have fun at Vivace the staff and the service is awesome. We had chick Crepe with spinach shows in the picture one of our favourite meals and Coffee with whip cream. We spend at more than an hour every time when we are here the staff really put there heart and effort and love making this place beautiful and wonderful and down town Portland. Hope that helps.
The best creeps you will find in all Portland along with the best latte !!! Food tastes great, preparation is fast. You have to go and pick up the coffee when it's ready, but they serve food to your table. Staff are very friendly too. Place has restroom and WiFi.
This place is cute, quaint, and has wonderful coffee and crepes! Fast service, delicious food! They have sweet as well as savory crepes, and a lovely setting! They also offer gluten free crepes. They are made on the same grill, so celiacs watch out, but they are delicious ♡ Highly recommend!
The sweet crepe was so. much. sugar. (I got Nutella and banana.) Coffee is excellent for people who like coffee; I tried the cappuccino at the recommendation of a friend. Very peaceful and quiet atmosphere too, especially on weekdays. Great place to chill and do some work for a while.
Fantastic cafe that serves sweet + savory crepes and select breakfast items. Great coffee selection and ample cafe seating inside w/ a large outdoor seating area near NW 23rd.
Vivace is a cute, older looking coffee shop that I randomly found one day. I've only tried their latte but it was really good! I would recommend coming here if you're looking for a coffee place in Portland!
Nice coffee shop, cozy atmosphere, although it could be a bit cleaner.
Had a cappuccino, it's okay
Love love love this place. We are regular customers here during weekend brunch. The place is rustic cute, the crepes are generous and delicious and they even have an outdoor seating which is absolutely fabulous when the weather permits. I can even customize my crepe to my hearts desire. This place has a better value for your money than Le Happy.
Absolutely Wonderful! The Crepes are delicious! The coffee is always perfect and the staff is super friendly and awesome! I go here every Thursday and they know me and greet me and seem genuinely interested in my well being when I come in! I love it here!
