"Always such a treat coming here. Great coffee, great food, and great service. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique coffee shop with delicious breakfast and pastries."

"The staff here provide excellent service, the coffee (especially the Chemex) is fantastic, and the food is delicious and provides options you can't find elsewhere in town. I highly recommend their beef pie. This place is going to be my new morning hangout."

"I stumbled upon this café as I was just in town for the weekend with my daughter and low and hold. I saw sausage roll on the menu being Aussie. We absolutely love sausage rolls and pies. I didn’t see your pie there but a sausage roll was there that’s the first thing I got my daughter got a brownie apricot brownie and absolutely loved it. She also got a sausage roll and absolutely love the staples of food from home where I come from so I recommend this café. The service was outstanding. The food was bringing me to tears because it reminded me of Home. I recommend this café 100%"

"My friend Becky recommended and it was good. Good food, good atmosphere, good customer service and most of all good coffee. We'll be back!"

"Essence of Coffee has quite a bit of indoor seating and some sidewalk seating. After ordering at the counter you seat yourself. There is a good selection of breakfast foods with both savory and sweet items. We ordered the Bagel Sandwich and the Pancake Stack Max (I think). Both were okay. The pancakes and syrup lacked flavor. The bacon on the bagel, though plentiful, also lacked a traditional smoky bacon flavor. Actually tasted a little "gamey". A staff member brought our food to us, but none of the staff was friendly. I don't regret our visit, but I wouldn't go back."
