Yes, it's a chain-- but it is a rather well styled chain at least. And though there are now Vida e Caffes in every sad mall and bland shopping centre throughout South Africa, the Vida in Greenpoint is commendable for being one of the few in which the neighbourhood is a match for the style of the cafe. Located on Somerset Road across from a strand of Bluegum trees, this take-out or sip-in cafe is a popular spot for the Atlantic Seafront Yuppies (watch them all check themselves out in the mirrors as they walk to the counter), and regrettably, it can get a bit packed with parents and their kids on weekends. But it is one of the few places to get a decent coffee in Greenpoint, and on a quiet weekday afternoon the atmosphere can be quite nice.Located on Somerset Road, on the corner with Portswood, Green Point. 021 434 7266.
