I got a matcha latte made with oat milk and a bit disappointed it was too sweet, I did add vanilla flavoring into it and that might've been too much.

Empire Coffee was on a few folks' recommendations for Superior, WI, so I thought I'd give it a try…read more It was worth the try! It appears as a small shop in the mix of a "Main Street" style line of buildings but once inside, it's spacious and cozy. Today there was a live performing artist playing and singing in the front of the shop. He was great! It added some really decent ambiance to the coffeehouse. I asked the baristas to make a flavored mocha they'd recommend. They served it up and it was delicious. A little nutty and a little sweet! It could have been just a touch hotter, but I'll know to request that next time. There were two baristas and they were both very pleasant and friendly even though they were a little swamped. I'd definitely go back and have another coffee here, and sit in one of the cushioned seats to enjoy the music if that were going on again!

Ok it's a super cute coffee shop with amazing decor. They have a TON of drink options. Coffee, tea,…read morerefreshers, dirty sodas, etc. I did want a coffee so I ordered an Aztec latte which was dark chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon. They also have some bakery items like cookies and muffins. They were out of cinnamon rolls but it was late in day. I got a pumpkin bread from the fridge and it was so good. Oh and they have açaí bowls as well. My latte was good EXCEPT I feel like they used cinnamon powder instead of the actual cinnamon syrup. I have had this same combo at other coffee shoes and also make my own at home. I was disappointed because I do not like the taste of cinnamon powder. They may have used the syrup as well the powder but I could not taste it as the drink itself was so more tart than sweet. This combo of syrups is very sweet which is why I ordered it. I do plan on being back to try out their other coffee options as well as refreshers. Lots of seating available as well.

Best donuts ever…read more Stopped by just after 11 on a Saturday and there were a good number of donuts left, including their banana split donut! Get that. It's unique, it's amazing, and I happen to love bananas. The counter lady told us they have the best cream cheese frosting anywhere. We vote it second best, and that's a really high compliment from my crew. Everything was SO good. Everything. I think I tried 4 types of pastries.

So I got the Apple fritter also as my back up . I asked for a coffee, but they only had drip so I was like yeah this is a special day. No thanks to the coffee. So we weren't feeling too good about what we got from the bakery . We could tell that she really was more of a commercial baker so I really wasn't sure what we're going to get. So I tore a chunk of the apple fritter off, and I was blown away . It was the best apple fritter I've ever had in my entire life. Later that night, I decided to try the maple long John despite the fact that there's custard inside it . It was the best efffing donut I've ever had . I hate custard - but this custard was light and creamy and zero greasy after taste. I will think of these donuts for the rest of my life and all others will fall short.

I've had coffee from here a few times before and have always loved my drink - their seasonal items are Always fun. It was pretty full on a Friday morning but the line was short and moved quickly. I ended up mixing it up and getting a matcha latte which was flavored perfectly and not overly sweet. The space itself is so bright and open and in the coolest building with multiple other shops. You can enjoy your order at a table inside, walk around the various stores, or take it to go and hop around the area as so many new spots have opened up.

They have a good selection of chilled canned drinks as well plus some food items like yogurt. The space is wonderfully diverse in terms of seating. They had the front window open to the street where you can sit. Inside is an area where people can sit with their kids. The service was very friendly and helpful. The vibe is warm and very welcoming. Know that their baked goods come from Duluth Best Bread which does not always deliver like after a holiday. Parking in a small lot behind the building or on the street.

Personally I could go for more maple in it, but I like them sweet. Lots of little bites and merch/mugs to look at (or buy).

Also apparently dogs are allowed.

I didn't realize they had three locations and it probably would have been more convenient to go to the Lincoln Park bakery but alas I found myself on the Superior side. Grateful though as parking here was easy, it wasn't crowded, but you can tell it's a local hot spot. They offer tons of cute activities for the community and have plenty of seating for you to enjoy your baked goods! I got the pizza danish, a caramel roll, and a crunchy munchkin cookie. The pizza danish was really good! Super interesting balance of herbs, pepperoni and cheese on a fluffy danish. I think it would have been better slightly toasted but that might have changed the danish to not be as soft. The caramel roll was absolutely AMAZING. Probably the best caramel roll I've ever had to be honest, I don't usually like walnuts but it was a really great balance to the super soft and fluffy roll. Usually I find caramel rolls to get too hard but it wasn't at all even after eating it a few hours after I purchased it - so delicious, I might get another on my way out of town! The cookie was my least favorite - it was more like a shortbread cookie, a bit flavorless and just buttery and a bit dry.

Pecan rolls were very good but coffee nothing to speak of- downside was barista. She was only worker and away from counter when we arrived for about five minutes. She left a note. So we waited. She was a bit abrupt. She controlled the half and half and wouldn't let me touch container and she determined what quantity was needed. Later, as we ate our roll, she attempted to place a blackboard above a cooler. She failed, it fell on her head and knocked coffee supplies to the floor. Another customer checked in on her, asking if she was ok. She replied she was fine. Customer then said that what she had done wasn't safe to which barrister responded that her commentary wasn't welcome. If I come back I hope she's having a better day and has a more pleasant demeanor.
