Essencia Artisan Bakery

“Phenomenal baked goods and coffee and super friendly staff”

VK★★★★

The coffee was good and the latte tasted decent. They offer fresh baked items, and we tried a cupcake and a brownie, both of which tasted good. This was our first time visiting this coffee shop. The employees were okay, but I didn’t feel they were very welcoming. I also noticed their attitude seemed a bit different with other customers. Overall the drinks and bakery items were good, but the service could feel a little more friendly.

Coffee is strong and smooth. The staff are f

Best bakery ever!!! The Palouse bread by far is bomb. It’s baked and available on Thursdays and Saturdays. The staff was accommodating my requests to pre slice the brownies and lemon bars. Great service.

Great place to start your day or grab a quick lunch. The croissants are amazing with a good selection to choose from for breakfast or lunch. Sandwiches available. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It's easy to see why the locals like this place. Highly recommend on my travel list.
