Esso Caffe is located on the corner of Brighton and Bedford. It was a lovely Saturday morning this visit and seats were filling up. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating--the outdoor parklet is dog friendly. One of the prettiest coffee shops in the area. It truly is a beautiful space inside with white walls, green undertones, and hints of gold. Oh let's just say, it was colored neutral. Color me intrigued! The matcha latte without the crème on top was delicious. I also enjoyed the organic green juice and the organic coconut water is always a good idea. Everyone is always so friendly and service is good. They do offer meals including salads, pizza, sandos, and all day breakfast. Next time I have my eyes on the charred veg bowl and matcha, of course. The space was clean and restroom was tidy. I warmly recommend this establishment. Tips: Street Parking Bathroom has a code Another location in Glendale "Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach!" read more

I work nearby & have been here twice. It's a beautifully decorated cafe but it's a bit overrated. There was a bit of a wait to order my drink & I sadly didn't care much for it. I ordered the salted latte with oat milk. It was underwhelming regretfully. It tasted a bit on the savory side, not my personal preference. It could've used a little more sweetener. I don't know that I'd return. read more

- Extremely Disappointing Experience, Unprofessional Staff and Poor Management My name is Francesco Bruno. I am a well-known professional chef in this community, with over 25 years of experience in the hospitality and culinary industry. Throughout my career, I have visited countless restaurants and cafés, and I can honestly say that this was one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I have ever had. Today, October 16, 2026, I visited Esso Caffé in Beverly Hills and spent $21.73, including a 20% tip, for a pistachio croissant, a bottle of water, and a cappuccino. The pistachio croissant tasted old and was clearly not fresh. I specifically requested a hot cappuccino with two espresso shots, but the employee served it cold and with only one shot. I had to ask for it to be remade. Even more concerning, the employee touched my shoulder without my permission. I found this behavior inappropriate and unprofessional. Customers should have their personal space respected, especially in a public establishment. What concerns me most is the apparent lack of proper management. I genuinely cannot understand how the owner expects to maintain a profitable business with a manager who appears unable to properly train, supervise, and manage the staff. Poor customer service, inadequate training, and unprofessional behavior drive customers away and ultimately cost the business money. This was not my first visit, and unfortunately, the service has repeatedly failed to meet reasonable expectations. As an experienced professional chef, I understand the importance of food quality, hospitality, customer satisfaction, and proper restaurant management. I have rarely experienced such disappointing service. The owner should seriously reconsider how this café is being managed before losing even more customers and damaging the business's reputation. Even after leaving a 20% tip, I walked away feeling completely disappointed. Customers deserve fresh food, properly prepared coffee, professional service, and basic respect. Extremely disappointing experience. I cannot recommend this establishment based on my visits. read more

Esso Caffe - Proof - Cafes Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dearest Esso, I want to like you so badly, I keep coming back every week. The Lunch Menu is always delicious. The drinks.. awful.. (See below) ~ The Waygu Beef Sandwich 10/10: easily one of the best sandwiches in the area. It has a special mediterranean taste with a tzatziki-style sauce that keeps the sandwich perfectly wet. The meat is always cooked & shredded to perfection, & the inside is filled with vibrant leafy greens. I love what you have going on here. ~ The Breakfast Platter 10/10: Comes served with cheesy scrambled eggs that anyone would enjoy. A side of fresh feta cheese, some toasty cherry tomatoes, & fluffy sour dough slices. The star are the turkey patties. They are a great source of protein & the whole plate is just overall a great nutritional source. THE ISSUE: the drinks.. they are so bad.. terrible. I have given Esso many chances with their different iced coffees & matcha lattes. They have all been monstrously awful. It's rare that I can get pasta. third sip before I have to stop. I wish you guys would change your milk ratio & matcha brand. Every milk-based drink is TOO milky, there is no taste of neither coffee nor matcha. The syrups have a sort of grainy taste as well. Drinks & food aside, Esso Caffé is decorated in such a bland way, yet it always feels comfy to sit there. I love the time I spend sitting inside or on the outdoor tables. This cafe has some serious charm to it. The workers are friendly & the business owners are always present to give input & oversee the workers. read more

I've passed by this coffee shop a few times. It's so pristine, I was intimated to go in. Pastries are housed in individual glass displays. It doesn't get more bougies than that. After a stressful day at the office, I worked up the courage to go inside. The white marble & chic décor provides an elegant atmosphere to dine in. It's also a great spot to get some work done on your laptop. In addition to pastries, they also serve breakfast (all day), salads, sandwiches, pizzas, & bowls. Beverage options include specialty coffee drinks, matcha, mimosas, & spritzes. There is also a case with pre-made salads, sandwiches, & cold beverages to go. Chris greeted me as I approached the counter. He was so sweet & friendly. I asked for a mimosa without the O.J. He laughed and rang me up. He personally handed my bubbly to me with a smile that made me forget about my stressful day. Chris is awesome! I'll be sure to come back during his shift. read more

First time coming here on Saturday and will not be my last! To say the least I was obsessed lol the vibe, music, service and aesthetic. I mean what more could you ask for. It was so clean and nice that they have indoor and outdoor seating. Came for the matcha and left with zero complaints. Hoping to try some food next time as their menu had so many items available. read more

Esso Coffee was just okay. I ordered an extra hot mocha, but it arrived only warm. The mocha itself wasn't very memorable. My daughter ordered a refresher, but she didn't enjoy it and didn't even finish it. The pastry selection was also limited. The café is clean and the staff was friendly, but overall it wasn't a place we would return to. read more

The matcha here was amazing! I like how it's not too sweet, you can still taste the matcha, and it's not bitter! However, it's kind of pricey, (8.5 for a matcha) There's a lot of variety with coffee, matcha, etc. They also have food (sandwiches, bowls, pizza, breakfast, pastries) It's very clean here and spacious. Lots of seating and pretty empty when I went. The staff is nice and pretty quick, nothing crazy. You can tell they use good quality stuff. read more

I had some time to kill before my appointment and stumbled onto Esso Caffe. An elegant coffee shop on the corner of Bedford and Brighton in Beverly Hills. These unplanned stops are my favorite because it's always an adventure. The place is beautiful inside. I found a table near the back with a couch to do some work and take a call. The music inside is low so you can chat or work without distraction. I started with a Flat White. This is all about the ratios and it was perfect. The espresso was smooth. They have a decent amount of food options so I tried the poached eggs served with a yogurt base and some yummy pita crisps that pulled everything together. I ended my stay with a hot Spanish latte. Another nice drink, light sweetened and smooth like a good scotch. They use Italian beans from Cafe Voloce. Staff was friendly and helpful guiding me around the menu. Service is not rushed but efficient. So the stress levels stay low and the coffee continue to flow. I thought about an iced coffee for the road but didn't want to over do it. I definitely will be back. read more

Just found this new spot in Downtown Beverly Hills for . Normallyin DTBH, It's very hard to find a coffe place where you can sit whole day comfortably and get some work done. This Esso Cafe just opened recently, and has tons of indoor + outdoor seating! Super clean, nice vibe, and surprisingly reasonable prices for Beverly Hills. Definitely a good work/study cafe spot read more

Location recently opened up. It's truly one of the prettiest coffee shops in BH, which says alot as there are about 3 coffee shops on every corner. Aesthetically a cute place, with green velvet seating, plenty of natural lighting, outdoor dining, open and spacious floor plan, and floor to ceiling window that is fully opened. An influencers dream for sure. Staff was friendly. Seemed like a popular place to grab lunch or breakfast. I only had a latte. Latte was good, a bit on the pricier side compared to other shops but makes sense as their to go cups are on the more elevated side. I'll def return to check out their lunch. When it comes to coffee, people have their preference. Some like sweet, some like bitter, so it's hard for me to judge the latte. But overall, i'd say this place is worth a visit if you like visiting coffee shops. read more

Esso is a brand new coffee shop in Beverly Hills. It's been around for 3 months. It's aesthetically very pleasing in here. They have green velvet booths and round tables. It's an order up at the counter type place. Pretty busy around lunch time but the line was not long. I got banana bread and a little raspberry cookie to-go. I was really impressed with the presentation. It was served with fresh fruit. The banana bread was delicious and moist. The cookie was perfection as good as it looked. I also am pretty sure the owner was there making sure everyone got their orders. Love when the owners are hands on. Always a plus. And when she went into the back I saw the wood burning oven for pizza...yum, yum! Street parking available but a bit difficult to find a space. read more

I've been going to this place for over a year but only ordered coffee. Today I decided to order avocado toast and couldn't believe that I was served avocado spread out of a bag... so so so disappointing! especially for the fact that we're in California with no shortage of avocados on top of that, fact this location is in the centre of Beverly Hills, is unacceptable .As soon as I saw the spread I knew better but was so hungry I had to taste it and it taste exactly how it looks, like baby food. read more

esso Café - Beverly Hills Walking around Beverly Hills, I randomly stumbled into EOS Café -- and wow, what a find! I wasn't expecting an Arab-inspired coffee spot like this right in the middle of Beverly Hills, but it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The barista (who I think was also the cashier) was super friendly and helpful. I asked for his recommendation, and he did not miss -- the espresso was bold and flavorful, the perfect balance of sweet and strong, and the matcha was smooth, rich, and delicious. I'm still wired just thinking about it! I also tried two of their pastries -- the banana nut bread and lemon bread -- and both were so good. Fresh, moist, and beautifully presented. Even the plating was cute! The café itself is cozy and aesthetic -- clean, well-designed, and the vibe sitting by the window overlooking the street was just perfect for catching up with a friend. It's such a lovely little spot to chill, chat, and people-watch. Overall, Esso Café is definitely a must-visit. Great coffee, amazing matcha, delicious pastries, and genuinely kind staff. Whoever made my drinks deserves a raise -- I'll 100% be coming back read more

Esso Caffé has quickly become one of our favorite new spots in Beverly Hills. The pastries, sandwiches and the coffee menu, from cappuccinos to pour-overs, are excellent. There is just one detail that could make the experience truly perfect: the espresso. On four separate visits, the espresso has arrived lukewarm. Everything else at Cafe Esso shines, and with that small adjustment, it would be flawless. We're delighted to have discovered this gem and will definitely keep coming back. read more

Absolutely love this spot. Esso Caffe is such a gem in Beverly Hills -- the perfect mix of great energy, friendly service, and consistently amazing drinks. Everyone who works here is so welcoming and genuinely kind, which makes such a difference and keeps me coming back. You can tell they really care about the experience. The coffee and matcha are out of this world. My go-to is the americano with their vanilla crème top, or the matcha americano with vanilla crème top -- both are next-level and feel like such a treat. It's just an all-around great spot whether you're grabbing something quick or sitting and enjoying the vibe. Highly recommend read more

I love to try coffee from small, independent cafes. My colleagues have been raving about this place. Besides great coffee, these guys serve amazing breakfasts, lunches, and sweets. Everything is super fresh, prepared according to original recipes, and beautifully presented.

I have passed this place a few times, so today stopped by for a cappuccino and cake. Nice seating and spacious, and the coffee was pretty good. Unfortunately, the lemon and poppy seed cake was not fresh at all, and was clearly the least popular one, as it was almost untouched in the display cabinet. Instead of being soft and moist, it was hard and tasteless. read more

Coffee just not good and took over 20+ minutes to make a coffee. Did not try food but had to go check on the coffees 3 times.

I don't mind paying $12 for a coffee and a croissant, but I do mind when both are awful. The cashier told me the croissants are made fresh in house, but they most certainly are not, they are dry and stale and feel like they were bought from the sale rack at the market bakery. They don't have drip coffee and their Americano taste like dirt. The ambience is nice, but for Beverly Hills you have to have quality food and beverage as well. read more

The food is good, but not the best. the fried egg on the veggie bowl was overcooked. but the kicker is the ice tea is $7.00 and when I asked for a refill they said they didn't do refills. You have got to be kidding me! read more

The Caffé Latte with the vanilla crème top is hands down the best latte I have had in LA. So impressed.
