ViCOLLECTIVE: We are Vivi Kola and ViCAFE – Fresher. More alert. More active. We make drinks that offer more than just water and flavor, for body and mind.
ViCAFE operates 17 espresso bars in Zurich, Basel and Eglisau (soon also in Lausanne), has its own roastery and stands for high-quality coffee with a direct connection to the producers. Our vision is to create extraordinary coffee experiences while promoting social, ecological and financial sustainability along the entire value chain.
Vivi Kola is a traditional Swiss beverage brand. We stand for honest drinks made from natural ingredients. Self-distributed and produced. With a big pinch of Vivi. Our own bottling plant in Eglisau guarantees the highest quality and authentic taste.
You're guaranteed not to get bored with us. Both brands share a passion for inspiring people with unique products.
