The vive? More like, the vibe. Absolutely delicious coffee and amazing atmosphere with friendly, down to Earth people doing God's work. Summer and Noah are really cool and fun to talk to and the air conditioning is amazing on a Texan summer day. 10 outa 10, highly recommend.

Great coffee & great atmosphere. They currently have fun seasonal drinks in time for valentines day. The Daydream (orange + rose) latte is my new favorite! They also have pastries available! Definitely space to work in.

Super sweet staff, spacious enough for meeting with a group, and coffee is delicious. Definitely making the list for my go-to coffee shops.

It was my first time there and the service was amazing. The barista was extremely friendly. And I have to say, it’s the best coffee I’ve ever had! 10/10!

Beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Super friendly and quick service. And the pecan pie latte was perfection. (they have a ton of flavors, decaf, and all dairy subs, too!)Dietary restrictions: Dairy free milk substitutes and sugar free syrup

Fast wifi, usually quiet, good drinks.What else would you want?I recommend for sure!
Today was my first visit to The Vive. Got a dirty Chai latte off the barista's recommendation and it was great. Customer service was excellent, very friendly, and helpful. I felt valued and appreciated and that meant alot. Whenever I'm in Garland I will absolutely come back here for studying.

I love everything about this place! I moved to Garland last year and this coffee shop has been my favorite I've visited so far.Everything thing is donation based so all the prices are "suggestions". However, just take a look at what all you support when you buy coffee here and you might actually feel happy to pay a bit more. (again, there's literally no obligation)Great place to chill or work on their wifi ;)Vegetarian options: They have vegan options for the milksKid-friendliness: I hang out there with my kids all the time.Parking: has it's own parking lotWheelchair accessibility: all one floorDietary restrictions: they can accommodate dietary restrictions

I support Hope coffee and I was excited to find a place near me that serves their coffee. However, Vive charges Starbucks prices for a weak coffee with one shot. The person I talked to said Vive is justified in overcharging for weak coffee because they support a charity???? Really? Hey, I will go out to Hope or Starbucks and give my tithe and charity donation to where I choose. I will skip Vive all together.

I absolutely LOVE this place! The coffee is great but I'm even more impressed with the fact that it is donation based (prices are "suggested donation amounts") and the money goes to support the farmers AND provides clean water, shelters, and education in Latin America.The staff is super friendly but that's probably expected seeing as I'm pretty sure they all are also a part of Living Way Church which meets in the same building.For drinks, I love the Mexican Mocha or the Chai Tea Latte, although I do have a bit of a sweet tooth tbh.Pro-tip: the first time coming here I mistakenly parked in the Mardel / Hobby Lobby parking lot but none of the businesses really didn't cared that I just parked and walked into the next parking lot over for The Vive.
This is operated by a Christian church.
