Seattle Espresso

How have I lived across the street for two years and not come here until just now? It’s a mystery. This place is tucked away in the shopping center at Warner & McClintock. It’s small but don’t let that deter you. The staff are super friendly and helpful.
One day I was running late for a pedicure and I raced in to get my caffeine fix. I didn’t have time to peruse the menu so I asked the barista what he was drinking. It was a White Russian mocha (I think). I said I’ll take one of those. He whipped it up and I was out of there in five minutes. And the coffee was delicious!!!

I love this place. I work right in the plaza so it’s easy to stop in right before or after. I’ve been here multiple times to study also. Coffee is delicious and the workers are always friendly. I always take advantage of their buy one get one free offers on Facebook and take them both for myself muaha

Been here a few times and they consistently have impeccable quality coffee and service. Recommend the iced white bella mocha with almond milk

Happened to be in the neighborhood and looking for non-Starbucks…Behold, this cozy little café that is reminiscent of a place I used to frequent in my hometown. I’m a fan of anyone who makes a good toddy and they sure do. Some confusion of «am I in line? are those people waiting? did I cut?» but everyone was pleasant and the coffee was strong enough to please.

This is my «go to» coffee shop when I’m in the Chandler area. Its tucked away in a strip mall, quiet, nice staff and great coffee. The Wifi is ok, but a bit under-​powered if there is a large number of people in there using it. Could do with more seating for laptops, but on the plus side they are open until 9PM which is awesome. Other coffee shops I frequent close at 6PM which sucks, when you have deadlines, need a place to work that is quiet and has great coffee.

I’ve gone to this coffee shop a few times hoping to get attached to it as it is close to my house. I found the espresso to be mediocre and the service/​quality to be pretty inconsistent. The lack of other options were also disappointing (no blended drinks, smoothies or teas). The location does have nice outdoor seating in front of a large fountain that is nice in cooler weather but the indoor seating is both crammed and un-​inviting.

Little overpriced but quite delicious. We had iced tea and chai tea — well made, extremely fast service and great vibe inside and out. Makes this large strip shopping mall a bit brighter in a not so interesting part of Phoenix. Stop in for good quality coffee and maybe to do some work for a few hours.

Great little place to get away from the Starbucks clique. Good coffee and friendly staff. One of my favorites

Went on last Sunday. Like to go coffee place by myself. It is a good place to hang out by yourself and friends. Also, there are plugs right next to the table, so you can also study: D
FYI: staffs are super nice.

I’ve been here at least a dozen times and they never fail at fast service and good coffee! They are usually pretty friendly too. The iced White Russian is the only one I’ve ever tried because it’s that good! It is perfectly sweet with a delicious espresso taste and surprisingly refreshing. Sometimes I wish they had a larger size option to further feed my addiction :P

Best local coffee join in South Tempe, wish we could get one in gilbert. I drive 10 – 15 miles to enjoy the freshest iced beverages. Lovely staff & always clean. Been enjoying their vanilla lattes for 10+ years!

Our household goes here 2 – 3 times a week because we love the flavor of this coffee. This mornings coffee left a bad taste in my mouth unfortunately. There is a barista there that is consistently unfriendly and behaves inconvenienced by our patronage. We continue to go in spite of her for the quality coffee but today she went from unfriendly to plain old rude. She rolls her eyes at requests and complains about guests in front of guests. It’s borderline comical that she works in customer service. I just love my morning cup of joe paired with a healthy serving of aggression.

If Cheers were a coffee shop… A place where everybody knows your name… Pretty much sums up how the staff interacts with the patrons and how the patrons interact with each other.
I gotta give a shout out to the barista on the Tuesday morning shift. He took a bit of my heckling before making me a gorgeous cappuccino.
Here was our exchange:
Him: What will you have?
Me: How is your cappuccino?
Him: It’s decent.
Me: In that case, I’ll have a latte.
Him: No — actually it’s really good. I’ve been a barista for [super big number of] years.
Me: Ok then. I’ll give it a try.
And then he proceeded to make me a gorgeously crafted cappuccino — nailed the microfoam, nailed the espresso, nailed the pour. Me = very happy.
I’ve been back — and the cappuccino continues to be epic. Thanks, Tuesday Morning Barista.
I was also able to get a table and work at my computer for a few hours. It’s not a huge place inside (definitely more relaxed than the outside appearance seems to suggest) but there was a good stream of people who come and go during the morning.

I lived around the corner from Seattle Espresso for years and was a frequent patron, coming here several times a week. As someone who doesn’t really like coffee, I would always order the White Russian Mocha, which is basically white chocolate powder, milk, and espresso. Very sweet and sugary, with just a kick of caffeine!
The employees are always great here, and once you’ve become a frequent customer, they will remember your name and your drink preferences. More than once, I’ve entered SE to find my drink already made, waiting for me on the counter! So nice.
I love Seattle Espresso’s «Sick Tea,» which is a combo of a few different teas. It’s the best for when you’re starting to feel sick. I like to buy some to keep at home for days when I’m feeling under the weather. If you ask nicely, they will even give you a few tea bags to take home (since it’s a loose leaf tea).
The pastry selection isn’t very good, so don’t come here for breakfast. They have a small selection of pastries and bagels, which are good quality but nothing special. Unfortunately there is no toaster for the bagels (hint hint, management!).
Don’t forget your stamp card!!!

Love this place! I’ve been coming here since I was in middle school! Always been my favorite coffee spot. :)

My favorite coffee shop. This is real coffee. Friendly and real people. Do yourself a favor and quit going to Starbucks, and make your way to this lovely place. Outside seating is peaceful.

This is such a cute coffee shop! I like the outdoor seating and there are regular who claim a certain shaded table… So beware! the staff is so friendly and very fast. Morning coffee runs are so much more pleasant when the barista is nice and offers espresso shots. Double shot iced Americans please! Black, no sweetener.

Perfect little coffee shop. The barista is awesome every time. I’ve been here 8 – 10 times and its the same guy every time… is there only one?
Love the giant chocolate chip cookies they sell there too. I will choose S.E. 9 times out of 10 than the chain across the street. Keep us the good work!

Best.Coffee.Ever. The White Russian, hot or iced, has been my go-​to for 13 years now. They use Illy espresso, have a huge selection of loose leaf teas, and have 3 different brewed teas everyday. My kiddos love the endless possibilities with the Italian sodas here, which are always topped with a kid approved amount of whipped cream. Pastries and bagels are always fresh and delicious. I cannot say enough about the service here! They are always friendly, smiling, engaging, entertaining, and their music is always good. Parking is easy, the patio is nice, with shade, comfy chairs, a fountain, and dogs are always welcome. Nothing bad about SE!

location: the shop isn’t big, but it does have approx 6 tables for inside seatings and approximately 2 in the outside. Almost all tables have power plugs right next to it and I assume they also have free WiFi. When I got there, I saw few tables with their laptops working on stuffs. This place seems like a regular hangout for locals.
Service: there was only one guy working there and he was super friendly. He knew it was my first time there so he was very patience with us. I was watching him working and saw him breaking out dancing at one point when a song came on. Love the attitude.
Drink: I ordered a hot Russian mocha and it was DELICIOUS!!!
rating: I will definitely come back here again. My only complain is that it was very warm in there. It makes it hard to hang out there for too long.
