“ I genuinely think it’s impossible to be upset at Essentials. I walk in there and immediately feel better. The varietyquality of the menu, the amazing baristas, and incredible ambiance come together to create a very happy place for me3 also the lavender iced latte is to DIE FOR ”
“ First time here and service and food were amazing! I got a pineapple smoothie and a breakfast sandwich. Hot food, blended smoothie, so yummy! Will be coming back! ”
“ I needed a delicious breakfast this morning, and for the first time found this place on Ubereats. I was so excited, as I love good coffee and it's even better when someone brings it to me! I usually just drink plain black coffee but I like a Flat White, and theirs is excellent. I never add syrup or sweetener but the Flavor choice was required and I felt fancy today anyway, so I tried their housemade Brown Sugar Cinnamon flavor and it was delicious. Very sweet to me, I will note to use just half the normal amount next time, but it was a tasty treat and got my morning started right. In my typical "One of Everything" style of trying new places, I overordered. I got the Everything Breakfast Bagel Sandwich with added bacon, and it was HUGE and filling! Fresh, fluffy scrambled eggs, wilted spinach (intentionally, not like old spinach), a nice slice of tomato, and a thick schmear of delectable garlic herb cream cheese. Honestly it didn't need the bacon, which was super-thin sliced, so save your 2.50 for something else. This sandwich was so hearty I could only finish half. But now that I have cleaned house, I am ready for the other half, and talking about it is making my mouth water! I ordered the Ham and Swiss Croissant but my driver called and said they had to switch to turkey and Swiss. I sighed and said, "I'll live." and he said, "I figured you would." LOL Anyway it is super-flaky and smelled incredible but I haven't actually tried it yet. From all appearances it is going to be light, crisp, flaky, and again quite filling. It could only be better if it was ham. Apparently that's a bestseller there. Gotta get up pretty early to get that one! This was a delightful way to start my day, and now I'm going to finish my bagel! Yum! ”
“ My go-to for local coffee in the area! I absolutely love their seasonal flavors and the breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, as well! I usually go for a turkey croissant or an everything bagel breakfast sandwich. Their staff is so so friendly and prompt, and their quality is top tier. The only downside is the closing at 3pm- but that could just be because sometimes I’m craving a coffee in the afternoon! Definitely stop in if you’re in the area and grab a drink and bite to eat. You won’t be disappointed! ”
“ Such a cute and cozy little coffee shop. Our food and drinks were great! The ladies were extremely nice, patient, and helpful since it was our first time. And I loved the atmosphere. I'd love to go here again. We had the Nutcracker Hot Chocolate and the S'mores Latte. And tried the blueberry muffin and cheese Danish (both warmed and yummy ). ”
“ A great cafe & friendly staff. I tried the iced dark chocolate mocha which was like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. The ambience is pretty good too! ”
