I've been coming to Essence for a few years now. This little cafe and roastery is hands down, the…read morebest in Sequim. When I was looking for the 'best coffee in town' I found a Yelp review by a coffee aficionado from Seattle. He said that this was the place! And it truly is. My favorite is the Cortado! Their in house roasts are very fresh and exquisitely done. They have great lattes and mochas, and if you're a coffee aficionado like me, you'll love the pour overs. In the back area is a comfy section with a couch and chairs. The main area has tables and a coffee bar for the solo flyer. Food fare is mainly local pastries, scones and muffins. My go to is the chocolate croissant, which accompanies my daily Cortado. Warning, this combo is known to both enlighten and create a vortex of energy which is a great start to your day! There are many regulars, where 'everybody knows your name.' I do appreciate cafes that use only pesticide free beans, and I've inquired and found this to be true at Essence. Enjoy the best in Sequim!!

This is a great way to support indigenous businesses as each package features art from different nations across turtle island and each represents a part of the medicine wheel.

I highly Recommend ordering this coffee and I can't wait to try to the other 3 flavors.

But I quickly became frustrated with the results; even after a week trying different doses, tamping pressure, extraction length, etc., I couldn't get something that wasn't bitter or watery. Then I read that it was important to use freshly roasted beans. After checking the reviews on Yelp, I decided to drive over to Caffè Lusso. The person there was very friendly, and recommended one of their coffee beans which were roasted the day prior. After purchasing the beans, I immediately drove home to try them out. And the results I got, first time, were fantasic! It turns out my prior issues were due to the 4+ month old beans from that big name coffee shop!
