    Dirty ice chai tea and French caramel cafe
    Pina C.

    The barista was super fast and friendly! You can tell he's been working there for a long time. He knows so many of the people who come in! The coffee was also affordable and tasted delicious!

    I was early for my nail appointment so decided to get some coffee. Checked Yelp and this was the closest place snd new to me. It seems pretty popular. There was one artist and she knew what she was doing. There are seats inside and outside. I will make this a stop before my next appointment. My chocolate drink is really good .

    What a beautiful hidden gem in Tempe! I had just finished a doctor's appointment and was craving coffee, so the name Seattle Espresso caught my attention and I decided to stop in around 9:00 AM. The place was packed, and it was so heartwarming to see so many regulars greeting each other--it instantly gave the shop such a welcoming, community feel. I noticed they've been around since 1993, which is honestly so special to see. The woman at the front even joked that we're not as old as the coffee shop The menu is simple, with some really good specials. I ordered the Russian Twist latte, and wow... it was so good. I could honestly drink it every single day. The coffee was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The prices are very reasonable, the ambiance is cozy, and it's the kind of place where you can work, relax, or just sit and enjoy the vibe. The little fountain outside adds such a lovely touch too. This is definitely going to be my go-to spot whenever I have an appointment in the area.

    This coffee is nothing fancy it won't win any awards and it won't blow u away! But u know what it will do keep ur money in ur wallet! Their coffees are extremely affordable and I appreciate that! There are lots of coffee shops that will charge 10$ for coffee but there aren't many that charge 4.55$ for a 16 ounce for coffee and guess what this is one of them!

    Good morning! Seattle Espresso has gone above and beyond in cultivating the best coffee experience. Dave and I walked in to an absolutely Packed... coffee shop.... We walked out understanding shy!! In our many years together, Dave has never been a big coffee drink... I don't know why lol... but he even liked this one! Great customer service & you're not paying a thousand dollars for one coffee... Hahah! Have a nice day Love, Bertha and Dave

    iced caramel latte

    Love this place! Lattes are great and baristas are attentive. It is small inside but there is plenty of outdoor covered seating.

    This place has been on my Yelp list for a few months and finally got a chance to stop by. When I first walked in, I got a happy greeting. The two ladies working are fantastic! They were excellent in making their customers feel welcome. The barista got started on my drink order when within the first few seconds walking in. They offer your choice of milks. The cafe has about 4-6 small tables inside and a lot more outside. The cafe was clean and inviting. I ordered my usual caramel macchiato. Adjusted with half the sugar and whole milk. Wow! Delicious! Very balanced with coffee flavors and a hint of sweetness. The foam on top was a nice top off. While in line, the lady behind me order the White Russian. I noticed this is a favorite among the customers. I will try that next time! Thank you for the great coffee and awesome customer service!

    I just love checking out new to me locally owned coffee shops. I just happened to pass by, & thought I'd give it a try. Vibe inside is very simple, yet dated but with a charming touch. I love the old vintage style ambiance this place has going on. I came at the perfect time as is it was quite empty, but a line quickly formed right after I placed my order. The barista was very friendly and offered some recommendations. I opted for a large iced White Russian. The flavor itself was excellent and had a touch of a chocolaty taste but not overly sweet. The espresso shot in the coffee itself was perfect & not a hint of bitterness. Also love that they use crushed ice. A great spot with minimal seating & a few outdoor tables as well. I'll definitely be back!

    Quick trip to this one and took my chai to go. Small space but it was set up well. Barista was kind but didn't offer any of the food so I didn't bother. My chai was quite delightful!

    Don't forget to grab a punchcard!

    Q: What is a bean's favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving? A: Roast. This plaza houses my gym so I've been seeing Seattle Espresso for years. Being that I usually hit the gym in the late afternoon, I just never had the opportunity to grab a cuppa. So when I had run errands on a sunny Monday, I popped in to grab an iced french caramel mocha with oat milk. Yum! The coffee bar takes up a good portion of the shop space. It's not the cutest place but it's cozy and you can definitely sit down to get some work done. As for the coffee, it was great! Seattle Espresso, you mocha me very happy.

    The OG local. It's everything you miss about coffee shops. The White Russian is a hit, buy your child a martinelli's and poppy seed muffin.

Not only do they offer a crazy variety of delicious fresh pastries, drinks, sandwiches, breads, etc....they have beautifully decorated cakes that honestly are so good. I have to point out that they have one of the best tasting green tea, and they literally have the best service anyone can ask for. I don't know how she does it, but Ashley brews this green tea perfectly. While most other Paris Baguette locations have the same green tea, they honestly do not taste exactly the same (Phoenix location on Baseline/32nd St is a totally different tea). When Ashley, Kailey, Dania. Richard and Daniel work together, they emit such high, positive and fun energy. They clearly look like they have fun while dealing with so many customers (and some customers are plain mean). These PB employees are so pleasant, efficient and really are an asset to this organization. Love seeing Ashley, Kailey and Dania's smiling face as soon as you walk in, they will definitely greet you. They truly are so sweet. I watch how they connect with each customer, making everyone feel special. The manager Joy has done an excellent job in selecting this team... If you are nearby, give it a try. Ask for Ashley, Kailey or Dania, and I guarantee you will agree with me :-)

Also, they have $2 drink special with purchase during their 3pm to 6pm Happy Hour. All offers are through the app. It can take about 15 minutes to show up for new accounts, so I recommend downloading the app before you head to the bakery. There were so many great options to pick from. We really liked the hazelnut filled croissant and will plan to get that again! All the ones we have tried so far are good. We are looking forward to coming back and trying more pastries. In addition, there is plenty of seating here if you want to stay and eat!

The decor was very upbeat, yet peaceful and comfy. Definitely a place to relax, have some coffee, and hang out! My daughter (4 years old) and I went to meet a friend here for coffee, tea, and chocolate milk (for my kiddo). Given this was our first time here, I decided to not only give their drinks a try, but also try their bakery as well. My friend, who had been here before, mentioned that their breakfast burritos were amazing! I wanted to try, but unfortunately, they were sold out. Mind you, I arrived at 8am. They must be pretty good if they sell out that quick. For my drink, I had an iced pumpkin chai. It was absolutely delicious! If you like pumpkin flavor, the flavor here definitely gave me "pumpkin pie" vibes, which I LOVE! It was so good! Along with my drink, I also had a chocolate pumpkin loaf and a zucchini loaf. My daughter absolutely LOVED the pumpkin loaf (mostly for the chocolate) lol. I, too, enjoyed the pumpkin loaf as it was very moist. They also warm it just enough for the chocolate to melt when you pull it apart. Let's not forget the "fall vibes" it brings too! The zucchini bread was very good too, but you definitely have to have a liking for zucchini bread to appreciate it! This loaf was also soft and moist, which made it taste delicious! It was also made in with nuts as well, which I think was the part my daughter really didn't like about the bread. Overall, it was good! The staff were very friendly, even though they were quite busy making drinks. This place is totally worth a try!
