App for a great coffee shop with fantastic staff generally *2026-03-01, version 5.9.6* Particular since upgrade and introduction of biometrics, the Vidae Cafe App often will not move beyond skip or setup biometrics. What coffee loyalty program needs biometrics in fact any significant security? If someone is able to score a free cup of coffee from you they probably need it more than you do. And then there are days , regularly, around my capetown hood that are just offline several times a month. And so frustrating for staff they have to take the brunt of people’s irritation. ### 5/5 — Excellent service *2026-02-14, version 5.9.6* I always receive good service at Cresta Vida Cafe, Musa and Andile they always bring a good vibe they are so friendly and energetic even when you don’t need anything there you just go and buy something just to get that energy!! ### 1/5 — App crashes all the time *2026-02-14, version 5.9.6* This has been the most frustrating app experience I’ve had in a long time. 90% of the time the app hangs and is unusable even in wifi connectivity. What is the point of a loyalty app if you can’t gather loyalty points in the moments when you need to? ### 5/5 — Staff at Cresta branch *2026-01-23, version 5.9.6* I must compliment the staff at Cresta, they are so friendly, have always got something nice to say. They get to know their clients and know what you normally order. Please commend them on their service. 😁 ### 5/5 — Excellent service at Waterfall country estate *2026-01-09, version 5.9.6* vida e caffè at Waterfall Country Estate is consistently amazing and one of those places you can rely on every single time. BBB The service is excellent — staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant to deal with. They get the basics right, which makes all the difference. Orders are made properly, coffee is fresh, and there’s real attention to detail. If you ask for something specific — like a latte extra hot — they actually do it properly. No eye-rolling, no half measures, just competence and care, which is surprisingly rare. It’s a consistently pleasant experience: good coffee, friendly people, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do. Verdict: Reliable, professional, and welcoming — exactly how a great coffee spot should be. ### 3/5 — Varied experiences *2025-12-28, version 5.9.6* Not all Vida outlets are the same unfortunately. Sometimes it’s the staff and sometimes the stock of items. I jump between Constantia, Steenberg, Three Arts and Cavendish. The Cavendish one is so bad that it shouldn’t even be called a Vida. But I keep trying. What can I say. I like coffee. ### 5/5 — Let us save regular orders *2025-10-06, version 5.9.3* Good app, getting better all the time. Let us save regular orders. E.g. my daily order always has two items, the same blend, full cream milk, etc. Would save me a minute a day if I could just save a standard order and then select it on repeat. ### 3/5 — Too many app updates *2025-10-05, version 5.9.3* The app, powered by YOYO, is always updating. I use my app at least once a week and every 2 weeks I get to the counter and open the app only to be held at a loading screen. Not being able to access the QR codes to load points, I order without using the app only to see later that it needs an update again. It feels like a conspiracy. They promise you rewards for being loyal but then make the app in such a way that you are not able to use or access these loyalty rewards due to system updates. ## Frequently asked questions about vida e caffè ### What does the vida e caffè app do?
