What People Are Saying
from Google"Essentials Coffee is a quiet, comfortable spot that’s perfect for grabbing breakfast, relaxing, or getting a little work done. The service was great—friendly, attentive staff who make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. I grabbed a large black coffee and their SEC on an everything bagel. The coffee was bold and smooth, and the bagel sandwich was delicious. If I had to nitpick anything, I’d say I wish the sausage patty was just a little bigger. But overall, the flavor was spot-on. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area. Great atmosphere, solid food, and genuinely nice people behind the counter. I’ll definitely be back!"
"Had been here just twice since moving to town, only for coffee, which were good! I’d love to try some of their speciality coffees eventually. Today tho my fiancee and I were going on a road trip so I wanted to get some breakfast sandwiches for the road. We got the everything bagel spinach and egg sandwich and a sausage egg and cheese on a croissant sandwich. They both were AMAZING! Like new level of deliciousness unlocked. Now that I know their food is so amazing I’ll def be going there a lot more! Which will be both good but bad for my wallet bc I live only a couple minutes walk away! Keep up the good work! Thank you :)"
"Every time I visit the in-laws this is a go to stop on my way! Loved the atmosphere and how sweet everyone is. Portions on the croissants are large, and I love it as a pregnant girly ! I’ve also come here a few times to just chat with friends and read my Bible, they were so welcoming every time."
"Very cute & relaxing coffee shop. Got a BSC & white chocolate latte- some of the best tasting espresso I’ve had! The blueberry bagel with cream cheese was delicious as well!"
"I was looking forward to trying this place. My husband stopped in and brought me home coffee and a pastry. The woman at the register was not helpful, rude, and unwelcoming. The coffee says pumpkin cream cold brew with oatmilk and cold foam, except it was not that. ONLY coffee, milk, and unflavored/unsweetened cold foam. There was no sweetener or flavor in here at all. So much for paying extra for what was not received. I had my husband try it to confirm. He also ordered himself a pecan pie latte and the woman rang him up for pumpkin spice latte??? The turnover pastry was ok, the frosting had an interesting after taste to it but the apple flavor inside was nice."
