"Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and you can tell everything is made with care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent - friendly, fast, and professional. One of my favorite cafés now. Highly recommended!"

"❤️ Highly recommend trying the Mi Amor drink — it was absolutely delicious. I was here about two years ago and the place has changed so much for the better. Very friendly vibe, great coffee, and I’ll definitely be back again (more than once)."

"10/10 neighborhood café. Cozy, cute, and always a good vibe. Coffee never misses, specialty lattes are elite, and the food is fresh and actually filling. Staff is super nice and makes you want to come back. Perfect spot to hang, work, or romanticize your morning ☕️✨"

"I’m truly impressed at how warmhearted this place is. I’ve been to thousands of restaurants or cafes or stores, and this little gem is one of the best service and most welcoming place. Def worth spending your money here if you need a coffee or pastry."

"I had the most pleasant new years coffee and brunch with my family at Cafe Esme! It's especially beautiful with the sunlight if you go late morning/early afternoon. Our veteran barista Brian (he said he's been in the field for close to a decade) was very sweet and kind, and was incredibly helpful in selecting the perfect first morning coffees of the year. I highly recommend the avocado toast and the salmon toast! they're very fresh and savory with generous amount of toppings (like super generous!). We had regular, almond, and chocolate croissants as well. They are beyond your average croissants-- super crunchy on the outside and chewy and stringy on the inside. Needless to say, all the coffee is just perfect. Foams for cortado and lattes are a chef's kiss. It's also right across Newport Center (we parked at the parking lot there for $4/3 hours) so bringing a car is also convenient. We'll be going there routinely now. Thanks Brian😊"
