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!!

Their drinks were excellently crafted - specifically I want to shout out the coconut golden chai for being so good it got me ...well, to write this review, really. I don't usually love chai but it was that good. Still, it wasn't the only good part: So was the coffee, and so were the sandwiches since we wanted something a little more filling than pastries. The ambiance was nice and getting there was easy. In short, it's real good. If you're in Sequim and you want anything on the menu, go to Hurricane.

I was shocked when I was handed the order. It's the price compared to the quantity. It was I think almost $25 for chili cheese fries and a small or medium drink, nothing fancy or extra, and to get basically a half order of chili cheese fries, very little fries. I got probably the same amount from Wendy's, I got an order of cheese fries and chili on the side, and it was like $5, similar or less quality. It's not like the chili is homemade, not hand cut fries, thin, hard shoestring fries. I've bought a breakfast burrito before, wasn't memorable, kinda overpriced, haven't seen the appeal. Employees are kind though!

Perhaps more importantly, the pies. OMG the pies. Home made, perfect balance between fruit and sugar, and on the Marion berry pie, a perfect crumble crust.

This adorable spot has every sweet thing you could possibly crave, but they also have sandwiches, soups, and even homemade chili with all the fixins! I was on a dessert mission so I grabbed a slice of their signature Marion Berry pie and of course I had to get a slice of the pecan as well. They were both delicious! The pecan was some of the best I've had outside of the south. But that Marion Berry was the star for sure - a perfect balance between sweet and tart and the homemade streusel topping was a flawless finish. Highly recommend! The gigantic cinnamon rolls also looked amazing - but the man ahead of me bought every last one so I didn't have a chance to try them haha! You can get them with or without icing and according to the owner they're great either way. They also sell coffee and ice cream and there's quite a decent sized gift shop inside. Seating is limited but the location is convenient, prices are good, and the staff/owners are just lovely. (Just be aware there's a $1 charge if you're using a credit card) A true hidden gem owned by a sweet local couple - the pies are divine and it's such a fun, cozy vibe inside - definitely worth a stop!

When I said that he should instruct his employees to give the right info he said that she did and lied about it. She clearly stated it was the law.
