Caffe Vita Takes Advantage of Starbucks Closure with Free Java

In the wake of the announced Starbucks closures today for barista retraining (”re”-training?), local Seattle independent roasters Caffe Vita are taking advantage of the theoretical masses of caffeine-less coffee drinkers by offering free coffee and espresso at all of their locations during the three hours that every Starbucks will be closed–5:30-8:30pm PST.

It’s a sly move to expose their product to a potentially new audience, and I wish them luck.  If you’re in the neighborhood–they have locations on Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, Fremont, Seward Park, and down in Olympia–be sure to check it out for some free brew.
