I came here daily while in town and its truly a great visit at any hour of the day whether you want breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon beverages and snacks, dinner, late night drinks, etc. Its all great here.

Not a single word was said to me aside from "what can I get you" and "what is your number". The girl with the long brown hair just seemed like she hated everyone ‍ didn't say thank you for the tip. The girl that made my coffee pulled the most disgusting burnt shots, no amount of added sweetness can cover that taste. 9$ down the drain. A little sad because I thought I had found my new favorite spot, but it's just too inconsistent.

All three tasted amazing - we decided to purchase their Guatemala Antigua. We learned so much during the tasting from where the beans come from, how their roasted, and much more!

So happy to have found a local spot. We will definitely return back for more.

BEN'S ESPRESSO: A NAME SO PERFECT IT MAKES OTHER NAMES QUESTION THEIR CAREER CHOICES…read more Let me tell you about the sheer BRILLIANCE of naming your coffee establishment "Ben's Espresso." The audacious simplicity! The raw courage to just put a guy's name - not just any name, but BEN - right there in front of "Espresso." While other cafes are out here with names like "The Daily Grind" or "Beans & Dreams," Ben just walked in and said "Yeah, it's my espresso joint. Deal with it." The apostrophe in "Ben's" - PERFECTION. The way it curves like a coffee bean that's achieved enlightenment. That tiny punctuation mark is doing more emotional heavy lifting than a barista during morning rush. It's saying "This is Ben's place" with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what they're doing with horseradish pudding. OH YES, THE HORSERADISH PUDDING. Let's pause our name appreciation to discuss this crime against traditional dessert expectations that somehow works so well it makes me question everything I know about dairy-based foods. It's like if wasabi decided to go to culinary school, dropped out, and then achieved its dreams anyway. The way it simultaneously clears your sinuses and soothes your soul is nothing short of supernatural. But back to that name - BEN'S ESPRESSO. Three syllables of pure naming nirvana. It's like if Shakespeare and a coffee roaster had a baby and that baby grew up to be really good at naming things. The understated confidence! The bold declaration of ownership! The casual dropping of "Espresso" like it's no big deal! Their horseradish pudding arrives like a fever dream you never want to wake up from - creamy, punchy, and somehow making perfect sense despite everything you know about pudding saying it shouldn't. It's the kind of dessert that makes you want to write poetry, but your sinuses are too clear to focus on metaphors. I've started a weekly appreciation circle where we just stand around saying "Ben's Espresso" in different tones of voice while eating spoonfuls of that magnificent root vegetable pudding concoction. Sometimes we cry. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes our nasal passages achieve transcendence. The name is so perfect that other coffee shops have been seen adding unnecessary words to their names out of sheer intimidation. But you can't compete with perfection. You can't compete with BEN'S ESPRESSO. You especially can't compete with a place confident enough to serve a pudding that feels like a gentle face punch from a velvet ghost. Five stars for the name - its minimalist perfection brings tears to my eyes. INFINITE stars for whoever looked at horseradish and thought "You know what this needs? To be pudding." I've started a support group for people overwhelmed by both the simplicity of the name and the complexity of their signature dessert. We meet weekly, our sinuses clearer than our thoughts. P.S. I heard someone suggest they should add more words to their name, and Ben himself just silently slid them a bowl of horseradish pudding. No words needed. Pure power move. P.P.S. The horseradish pudding doesn't just sit in a bowl - it LOUNGES in it, like it knows something about the universe that we're all still trying to figure out. Note: This review was written while experiencing what I can only describe as a religious experience involving both the perfect simplicity of the name "Ben's Espresso" and the paradoxical existence of horseradish pudding. My sinuses have never been clearer, and my appreciation for apostrophes has never been stronger.

Sadly, they were out. She took our drink order and walked away which felt very inefficient for the level of busy for just 1 person to be managing. We decided we'd try the breakfast sandwich instead, assuming it would taste similar, and it did. Despite ordering "2 sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches" (after having ordered 2 sausage and egg burritos) she made 1 and was already onto helping the customer at the other window. Since there are no prices on the menu board and they don't give you a receipt, I can only assume I just paid $5-6 for an Italian soda and $5-6 for a breakfast sandwich. Don't get me wrong, that seems like a fair price for a breakfast sandwich, so the total I paid should have been the tip off that she was only making 1, but the other peculiar part was that she told me the total and saw he holding up cash so then she gave me a new, lower total. Just overall not a great experience for a special breakfast outing with my kiddo.

The drinks themselves are good, but the overall experience could be better. Each time I visit, the customer service feels unwelcoming. The baristas don't seem very friendly, which makes it hard to enjoy stopping by.

With just a little more focus on friendliness and customer connection, Elite could really shine as much as their unique menu does.
