Beautiful conversion of a classic bank. Dinner isn't served till 5 so we had a late lunch. The blue cheese flatbreads were amazing.

The place is just gorgeous. The food and service is hit or miss. I went there for lunch and got the PST wrap with a cocktail, and was very happy with the food, minus the cheap ruffle lays chips (do house made chips guys, it’s super easy), and the bartender was very friendly. It was served on a plate like a proper meal. For breakfast I got the prosciutto croissant. It’s suppose to have cream cheese. It was served without cream cheese, in a to-go container that barely fit it, when I was dining in. When I mentioned it was missing the cream cheese, the young lady said “yea, we’re out”. Nothing was said prior, and no offer was made to choose something else. Also, how do you run out of cream cheese? If you’re waiting on your order coming later in the day, someone should go get more, or alter the menu to reflect the missing item. Speaking of menu, the online menu doesn’t match their menu in store, and needs updating. Skipping dinner for now, their dinners are outrageously priced.

Beautiful coffee shop/ restaurant in downtown Sandusky. Our sandwiches were excellent. The interior of the building is beautiful.

Not only was the food amazing but, our server Abby was phenomenal! It was my first experience with a hot plate and Abby made sure to explain the best way to make our meal fantastic. I wish there was a place like this where I am from. I will definitely make this a place to stop whenever I am in town! A+++++

Excellent chill-historic vibe, in what looks like a late 20's bank building, complete with a preserved gold leaf ceiling, and probably original floor-scale windows. Wide open, and not too busy on a Tuesday night. Food was excellent, entrees served on hot stone, with reasonable healthy portions. Not over engineered, tuna was served with a wasabi dip and soy sauce, food was fresh and well prepared. There's a coffee bar and drink bar, along with a basic market with a decent wine selection and a few select groceries. Wait staff and patrons all super kind and helpful. Excellent laid back date, or a relaxing evening.

Stopped on Saturday for lunch and what an experience! From my delicious Bloody Mary to the Turkey Avocado Sandwich followed by an amazing flatbread with artichoke and tomatoes, we loved every bite! We always make an effort to support small business wherever we go, this place is a MUST visit.

If you love self service and spending $50 per person on a steak you cook yourself thank this is the place for you. We spent 1.5 plus hours grabbing drinks from the fridge or requesting multiple times from the staff for drinks you have to grab from the bar anyway it’s 0 stars but I don’t have that option. It’s not a bad place. It bad service and attitudes.

Stopped in for martinis on a Tuesday afternoon. Bright, airy, and comfortable atmosphere to sit back and enjoy the company of friends. Isiah the bartender did a lot with a limited selection of spirits.

Great services and delicious coffee. There were several items I was interested in purchasing throughout the store, but not everything had a price tag.

Went kind of in an off season and at about 6:45pm so it wasn't very busy at all. But the food was amazing. Let me tell you I am not a steak person but I tried some of my boyfriends Ribeye...it was amazing! Highly recommend it.

The building this restaurant resides amazing. Looks like an old train Depot. Old tile from floors to walls and a lavish ornate ceiling to boot. Beautiful to say the least. The tables are sprawled everywhere and there seems to be a coffee bar vs regular bar but you can sit anywhere. I missed breakfast, damn! Lunch wasn’t bad, the one person working front end does the coffee bar also, so so bring your patience. I do recommend the bacon wrapped stuffed figs, delicious! As for my other order, the Mediterranean Chicken Flatbread was good. Didn’t really care for deli sliced chicken though. Don’t care for it on sandwiches, and on a flatbread, not so much either. Cool place i bet for dinner.

Wouldn't recommend heavily for dinner. Hot stone chicken was well cooked but had no sauce, and we couldn't really taste the marinade they put on it at all. Flatbread was okay, but I was a bit disappointed they used deli meat chicken on it instead of freshly cooked chicken. The atmosphere was a bit weird since it was dark and quiet. I can imagine this would be a better spot to hit for breakfast or brunch.

i absolutely love this place! the atmosphere is just wonderful, and the employees are so friendly. i make it a point to come here any time i am heading to cedar point because it’s just that good. the building itself is absolutely adorable, and they offer an incredibly selection of food, drinks, and general goods. not only that, but it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg like many places do. i would recommend visiting vita to anyone!

We stopped by today on a whim on our way back to Michigan. I’m so glad we stopped. The coffee was so good. I had the best peppermint mocha. The flavors were perfect. My husband and I each had different turkey panini’s and they were delicious. Staff was great and very friendly. Last but not least, the building is stunning inside. It’s an old bank back with high ceilings. If for nothing else you have to stop by to take a look in the building
