    This cafe has it over all other cafes in Adelaide. The scent of fresh roasting coffee beans is only supassed by the taste of the coffees on offer.

    Viva Espresso is a small coffee shop on Pirie St in the Adelaide central business district. Its specialty is cones of chips (aka frittes or french fries) which I have sampled on a number of occasions. They also have a small selection of sandwiches and other meals. The coffee shop has a coffee bean roasting machine in the corner which gives the shop a nice ambiance and aroma.

    The Hot Chocolate is presented well. It comes with a pink marshmallow and a white marshmallow in a smallish ceramic cup. The froth is good with a chocolate stripe over the froth. The chocolate is rich but not bitter. The cost was only $3.20 but mugs of hot chocolate were also available. I would be happy to have this standard hot chocolate every lunchtime.

    The pink and white marshmallows seem to be somewhat of a standard in Adelaide coffee shops. I have a sweet tooth but I find it sufficient to dunk only the white marshmallow. The pink one is for the girls and my partner usually obliges by relieving me of this confectionery.

    They roast their own beans with the big machine in the corner. I've seen the staff reject a coffee that they've just made because they don't think that it is good enough for their customer. These people not only care about their business, they care about the food that they serve up. Waffles are also absolutely awesome. They've gotten me through a multitude of afternoon meetings. The staff at Viva Love food, you can tell it in the taste.

    This is the best cafe for coffee in Adelaide. The staff are all excellent and are just so friendly. I have not met one staff member yet who has not given good service.

    Viva Espresso has THE BEST coffee! I only buy coffee a couple of times a week so if I'm going to spend my money it has to be the best at Viva Espresso. It's just such a shame that it's not open on the weekends.

    The freshest coffee served with a smile. Great customer service, quick service, friendly service. Roast their own beans so always fresh. Never that 'burnt' taste.
