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!!! read more

Always drawn to this coffee shop on Warner. Maybe it's because of the super friendly and kind staff or because of their delicious Coffee. Great seating options for October if you want to enjoy your coffee with a nice waterfall view or in the back where it's spacious! read more

Good strong coffee just the way I like! Good prices and cool vibe and friendly service

There need to be more little coffee shops like this in the area. I love hanging out here and doing homework. Everyone is very friendly and it nice that they have a stamp card so you can earn free drinks. I used to come here so much that they often gave me drinks for free too which was awesome! The only drawback is that the drinks aren't made as consistently as I would hope. Whenever I get a white russian mocha (lame coffee drink - I know) it is way way way too sugary unless Wayne makes it or I just got lucky. Sometimes it is so sugary I can barely drink it. I also noticed that their cold brew is probably the weakest I have had. This isn't necessarily bad for everyone but I do prefer it stronger. read more

By far my favorite coffee shop! Espresso tastes amazing and is rich and strong. Their drinks such as their carmel lattes aren't overly sweet and taste sooo good. Also the baristas are very friendly and sociable!! I go almost every week:) read more

Went in for a soy latte, first time here. The latte was good, nothing to write home about, but good, especially because it was made by a super friendly dude who was really helpful since it was my first time here. read more

Coffee is delicious and very fast service! Only odd thing is that there isn't a toaster for bagels! But people are great and awesome vibe. read more

Seattle Espresso - Their White Russian mocha is the best! One of my favorite local coffee shops! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Great neighborhood coffee place. Baristas are very friendly and I love that they are very understanding of my needs and always make my decaf drink whether it is coffee or tea with a smile. Love the atmosphere here, from the fountain outside, to the tables where you can sit and chat with a friend. It definitely keeps me coming back. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Service was excellent, espresso is delicious... only complaint is the syrups they use aremt very tasty in a mocha. I'm used to powder or thick syrup so the thin ones make it feel watered down. Perfect espresso though! I'll try the bella mocha next time, that uses thicker syrup. Definitely worth stopping in. Bring cash for a tip, they dont have a tip option on the credit card machine. read more

Great beverages and pastries. Awesome prices and friendly staff. They have a loyal following for a reason. 10/10 would recommend.

This is the best indie coffee shop I've found in the valley. If you're looking for friendly faces and awesome drinks in a coffee shop, you've found it. Kelly and Ivan are my favorite baristas. They make the best Iced White Russians read more

The people that work there are super nice and are happy to answer any questions that you may have about their menu. They never rush me while I'm looking at their menu and deciding what I want to order. And their drinks are always very delicious! read more

Large White Russian all day if you like sweet iced coffee. Best iced coffee there is! Always quiet when I go and I get helped right away! Give them a try! read more

The coffee here is the best! I highly recommend getting the white russian, especially if you are into coffees that have some sweetness to them. I come here pretty often and I am never let down. The service is very good and staff is always friendly! read more

Yes I am a fan of Seattle espresso. Me and my family have been going here for years. Highly recommend their Iced Mocha. Nobody else's tastes like theirs. IF you want a place with atmosphere and don't want to hassle with lines at Starbucks or Dutch Bros. then Seattle's your place. Give it a shot! read more

if i could give them a million stars i would. they are a literal iconic gemstone of chandler i am in love with them. their coffee is soooo good so much better than any big brand chain place. i cannot express this enough. They never fail!!! There's nothing to hate about the, they're perfect in every way I'm healthily obsessed with them read more

The best coffee in town. Hands down. I even buy their grounded beans for home and look forward to drinking coffee every morning! A huge of fan. People are so friendly too. read more

Good Morning, Afternoon, and Evening Valley Patrons! Welcome to the best place to get coffee ever! The coffee, tea, Italian Sodas, and Hot Cocoa are actually good, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and friendly. It is highly common to run into the regulars at any given time of day and for each Barista to know you by name and have your drink waiting for you when you walk up. I'm not a fan of the pastries, but then, I'm there for Coffee, and Coffee Comrades anyway. I don't go anywhere else and neither should you. read more

Seriously the best coffee spot in south Tempe. I've been ordering the same drink for over ten years and I still love it every time! read more

Seattle Espresso - Delicious espresso drink! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I have been going to Seattle Espresso since they opened the doors. The service and atmosphere has always been inviting and friendly. It is truly a place for the community, one of a kind. My favorites are the Cold Brew or an iced tea of the day. read more

Love this coffee shop! Right around the corner from my work, and super close to home. I prefer this place over Starbucks any day.

I have been visiting Seattle Espresso for going on 20 years! After the closing of the Ahwatukee location. ...I travel the 14 miles to the Tempe location. ...almost on a daily basis. I would really like to see Seattle Espresso expand back into Tukee....but for now Tempe is my only option....cause I refuse to do Starbucks! As a frequent customer...I choose to buy their gift certificates. ..instead of 60 transactions on my bank statement. ...but would love to see gift cards introduced. I really enjoy all the baristas and customers and have known some of them for years. ...and a few have become like family members! The best iced mocha is found here! read more

Very good coffee! I get my iced Americano here with room for cream. The coffee is so much better than the Starbucks down the street, but not as convenient...shamefully to say, there's no drive-through. When you have a vehicle full of kids which one would you pick? So, I come here solo right before I wander around the little shops. A must try! read more

Cool coffee spot with outdoor seating and china for my espresso. Keeping the coffee tradition up! read more

Seattle Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I'm pretty bummed about this one. I thought that I had actually found a great coffee joint, in fact I was wrong. Started coming to this place late last week, my experience has not improved, only worsened. The blonde lady who works weekday mornings is disrespectful and rude with a crooked, fake smile. Day 2 of her "bad and bougie" attitude -- more like lopsided and lost it, momma. I just wanted my morning coffee but I refuse to spend my money on terrible customer service. Oh. And the coffee? Its just just coffee. I'd rather deal with Dutch Bro's read more

If you're looking for the one coffee place in town with pretty good coffee but no customer Wi-Fi, this is your spot. My cell phone doesn't even work in here. read more

Lovely evening. Great company. Now....how about a nice cup of joe? Sure! Local business? Sure! Wait 10 minutes inside? Sure! Drip coffee product after 5 pm? No!! Excuse me? No drip coffee at the coffee house, that I ordered 10 minutes ago, because you close in 90 minutes? Oh, my bad. I'll take something else. Iced tea perhaps? No, instead you sell me some sort of dark sludge on ice? The ONLY redeeming quality and the reason here are 2 stars---the hot Mocha was really good and the other patrons were delightful. If I wanted Seattle coffee-freak attitude, I'd go there. Nicer summer weather. read more

The White Russian Mocha (double shot) is in my opinion the best drink at Seattle Espresso! Have not seen a drink like that anywhere else. Overall, it is a friendly environment with great baristas! Only request is that they be open later than 9 pm... read more

Ok so I wanted some coffee for breakfast this morning and decided to turn to my list of the coffee tour of phoenix! FTW! I decided to try out Seattle Espresso because I lived in Seattle for a few years and loved the coffee there, and thought this place may live up to my expectations. Alas, they did not. Maybe I'm a coffee snob, but I think if you're going to call your place Seattle Espresso there should be something Seattle -y about it. The place was small and looked boring, unlike most of the shops in Seattle which have lots of character. The coffee was also boring, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. I just got a latte so that I could adequately compare it to other coffee experiences I have had. On the wall it says they use Illy coffee. Illy coffee is pretty generic... If they wanted a Seattle coffee shop, they should invest in getting coffee that is roasted in Seattle. I know that at Giant coffee they did research and have had coffee from stumptown roasters in seattle/portland. Why didn't this place think of that? Anyway, it just wasn't anything I would run back for. If you're going to go to starbucks, you may as well come here instead, it is better, but if you like local coffee houses, this just doesn't cut it. read more

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. read more

All baristas are not created equal. The crew at Seattle Espresso knows how to pull shots. They've got the best iced mocha in town. They splash Illy with heavy cream. Definitely worth driving to S. Tempe for! read more

I've been a customer since I was in high school (almost a decade ago) and they have never fallen short. They still have the White Russian mocha which is my favorite coffee drink from anywhere! I love the staff and atmosphere too. read more

Good coffee! For some one trying to remove sugar from their diet they are one of the few coffee shops in the area that has heavy cream, not just half-half. read more

Our family goes here pretty much every single day for the past 5 years which means we're obviously obsessed. Not only is the coffee good, the baristas are like family to us now. Plus the outdoor seating you can't get at any other coffee shop in the area, full of trees so there's plenty of shade with a fountain. Our kids love it too, they get their kid "mocha" aka chocolate milk and love the employees. They have a plethora of flavors and sugar free flavors, unlike a lot of other shops only carry 3-5. Feels good to support a local coffee shop read more

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 read more

I've been going to this barely visible coffee shop for almost ten years and it is one of the better ones. It is small and the crowd is mostly teens, but the coffee is good. They use Illy espresso beans which is rich and delicious. Their menu is simple with about 5 specialty drinks. I would definitely recommend the French Caramel Latte. It has a nutty flavor that goes great with the caramel. read more

Great little shop with tasty joe and friendly staff. Outdoor seating, some baked goods and wifi.

Love the coffee beans they use, the coffee is super good no matter what I get! Also the barista was very kind and helped with coffee suggestions! read more
