★★★★★ 5.0 Laurel Clark · Mar 2026

I ordered a short lavender latte, hot. It was good but the lavender flavor was very subtle. There are lots of seating options - high stools, comfy chairs, etc. Employees were nice, store was clean

★★★★★ 5.0 Jade Lei · Mar 2026

Stopped into Espresso Bay while visiting the area and really enjoyed it. Great coffee, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Perfect little stop while exploring downtown. ☕️

★★★★★ 5.0 Cassie Zimmerman · Oct 2025

The employees were very friendly, the girl who checked us out kindly recommended we try the cherry cold foam. I loved my cherry blossom latte 🍒🌸

★★★★☆ 4.0 Zach Marsh · Sep 2022

It wasn't busy upon arrival so we ordered right away. Staff wasn't overly friendly but they weren't dismissive either. Drinks were ok. Nothing special. I felt like my drink needed a little more sugar and cream, so I just added it at the side table. The inside was decent size with a good amount of seating. It was kinda cozy too. Overall, it was good but not great.

★★★★★ 5.0 snehal thakur · Nov 2022

Great ambience and a beautiful setup to enjoy delicious coffee. I had their sugar free hazelnut latte and it tasted awesome. The place has a very warm and friendly vibe which I absolutely loved in this cold weather. Plus they offer great merchandise, especially coffee cups and coffee canisters.
