This is a really cute coffee place. We came yesterday and it was not crowded in the morning since it is a holiday weekend. We had to pay for parking about a block away, I think parking may be a problem on a regular work day when it is busy. I think if you work in the surrounding buildings than this is perfect as you already have your own parking. The lady that helped us was very nice, friendly and helpful. Since we had not been here before she asked us a lot of questions to make sure we were happy with our order. I had the veggie and hummus bagel and it was amazing. My husband had the avocado toast and it was OK, but nothing special. The coconut cold brew was delicious. I had the ice tea with strawberry flavor added, also delicious and not too sweet. read more

Love this little coffee shop. Has a great vibe inside with great friendly staff. Been here a few times and it is always a great visit with some amazing coffee. It has tables to sit back relax and do work or just enjoy some coffee with a friend. I enjoyed a Caramella. Carmel sauce vanilla and espresso. Also have had the Mexican Mocha. Espresso with Ghirardelli chocolate and some cinnamon. Really good. The egg breakfast sandwich is very tasty as well for a quick bite. Stop on in and enjoy the vibe. read more

This review is for pastries and drinks only! The whole bean coffee selection is eclectic and ranges from Africa, to Central America and other distance micro climate regions. There is a lot of detail in the packaging and it feels like many are fair trade and organic but maybe just didn't pay for the labeling which is fine with me. I'll be hitting up Empresso more frequently for single origin coffee beans. As for the specialty drinks, the chai latte might be the best in Stockton. It hedges toward the sweeter side on the spectrum of chai lattes, but it's right in my ballpark for the amount of sweetness with just enough spice. Sometimes the spices can be over the top and you get flavor fatigue if it's overly spiced in my opinion. The pastries all look delicious but I have to pick up the scone every time, the blueberry in particular. I didn't see any in the counter today so they must sell out each day and it's about 1:30 right now so it would be very late to expect them to run another batch just for me...hint hint! Now the kicker is the beer menu with my favorite Peanut Butter Stout from Lead Dog in Reno. They also have King Cong from Sac, a Cherry Cider, A Hazy from Headlands, Mexican Lager from Oakland Beer Works, and a Double Hazy from Headlands Pittsburg. Overall I have to say this place does it right and Stockton is lucky to have a place that offers quality beverages and pastries at fair prices. Empresso you are an asset to Stockton and I hope you upgrade your seating someday :) read more

Disappointing is not even the word. I paid $15 for a Mexican Mocha Hot and a bagel with Cream Cheese and a side bacon. I got a cold half cup of coffee with no safety seal or sealed delivery method cup had coffee spilled all over it. I ordered an Everything Bagel and got a dry stale tasting plain bagel with no cream cheese. Definitely never wasting money here again I can't figure out why they have 4 stars? The pictures don't lie.... read more

Empresso Coffeehouse - dirty chai latte & bacon & egg breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

It's always have a bad experience when DoorDashing anything in Stockton. However today I did a DoorDash order with two coffees and two breakfast items. I wanted to try the ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on the croissant. The croissant option wasn't available on DoorDash so I called in and spoke to Nacho. He informed me that they did have croissants even though the option wasn't available on the app. He then Instructed me on how to order it. I ended up ordering that with the egg scramble with cheese, a sugar-free mocha Frappuccino and a Rockyroad Frappuccino. Everything was excellent! My sandwich was so good. I can't believe how good their service is and how accurate their orders are. I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back for sure! Thank you Nacho! read more

Had to come into the city to get some papers at the courthouse very early on a very cold morning and afterwards was walking down the street and found this little coffeehouse. I can't have sugar so I popped in expecting to get a regular latte like I usually get but decided to ask if they have sugar free options, and found out they have tons! The inside was really nice, they have a bookshelf and tons of seating. Also, I don't know who the artist is but I really enjoyed the hilarious hand-drawn tip sign. Feels like a classic cafe with tons of personality and a great place to chill. Also, my latte came out quick, hot, and delicious. I definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Everything has been very good for me they have a nice service for take out, they have good food, and I really enjoy sometimes to sit in there looking at the art that they have hanging on the walls the music is good and the people in the other side of the counter very nice. read more

Acceptable wait time but worth the wait, food is cooked freshly. I wanted a iced tea lemonade but the cashier said they were out of lemonade but she could do iced tea with strawberry syrup (highly recommend trying it). I also got a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive ever had from a coffee spot. Location is great too. Only thing i would say is bad about the cafe is that it is small and seating is really close but besides that overall 10/10. read more

Empresso Coffeehouse - How do you hand someone a bagel with this amount of cream cheese? This is comedy. My snickerdoodle latte was good though. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

I used to love this place and go here all the time, but it's looking like I'm going to have to stop. I ordered avocado toast and paid for extra avocado with no pepper. I should have taken a picture, but I didn't. I could see the bread through the thinnest layer of avocado I have seen in my life, which isn't extra, if you ask me. It was also covered in pepper. :( This time takes the cake. I always order a dirty chai with soy milk and I feel like they have been giving me a different kind of milk because it's not as thick as it used to be and the flavors are different. This time, I took no drinks and the driver who delivered it didn't say that any spilled and there was so much missing from the cup! It breaks my heart because I loved the people, every time I walked in they were so kind and genuinely complimented something I had on or my makeup and made me feel great for coming in. So maybe their delivery service is becoming subpar and I just need to figure out how to drive down there instead. read more

Empresso Coffeehouse - Extra dirty chai that was not made with soy and is about 3/4ths full - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

I'm a regular customer @ both locations and I've ordered delivery thru doordash from this location twice and even though the first delivery was missing the coffee the second delivery was the worst, and I was extremely disappointed about it . The pictures below ladies and gentlemen are of their veggie and cheese panini which supposed to include the following items: lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado, cucumber, mustard with choice of cheddar, swiss or pepper jack on genova ciabatta bread. As you can see the only ingredient this $7.99 panini has it's cucumber and I'm assuming cooked lettuce? da other pic is of a medium half filled $6 latte yes this is how they sent it HALF FULL . Is honestly hard for me to see how a business that I've been supporting for a long time doesn't care about their customers and is sad to see how little effort they really put to make this order. I don't know why they would think sending these to a customer is okay? Like have some pride in what your sending out to your customers. read more

This is definitely my favorite Empresso compared to the one in College Square. It's a much quieter location and makes for a great place to work or study. Outlets are a bit hard to come by, but it's definitely possible to snag a table with one nearby. Last time I came here my friend and I shared their Spring Salad and Turkey Pesto Panini. Both were delicious. For a coffee shop, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices for the food. We parked in the structure nearby and validated our ticket at Empresso. I definitely recommend doing that if you drive here. read more

I love supporting local businesses and I'm glad I don't have to drive up north for Empresso. I've been a fan since they moved out of their location on Miracle Mile. This location is conveniently located on El Dorado - the corner of the theater. I stopped by after the Turkey Trot while my sister waited for me and my brother. Surprisingly they were open on Thanksgiving Day, nice! We were greeted with a nice welcome. Shortly after, I ordered a latte. Love the presentation and taste of my latte. This place never falls short! Pretty modern furniture and set-up, which is great for meet-ups and study space. I highly recommend Empresso Coffeehouse! read more

Wanted to grab a quick bite before leaving the office. Saw this across the street and thought I would check it out. I had no expectation when i first walked in. Figured this would be just a generic coffee house with some generic sandwiches. The Chicken Bacon Ranch Panini was hot and delicious. Colleagues had the ham and cheese panini and raved about the taste. Will definitely visit again the next time I'm in town. read more

Literally no wait, ordered a chai latte & sat down inside to drink it! Good music playing, super chill vibe. There is some homeless people that are around the area, but it is downtown Stockton & the workers address them as soon as they open the door. The Chai latte was perfect & had a cute swan like design! Perfect place to kill time before watching a movie! read more

First time here and usually order regular coffee or ice white mocha but thought to give something new a try. Went with the popular dirty chai and DAMN it was gooood. They make it either iced or hot. I went with iced. Not too sweet or bitter-- it's just right! If I'm not wrong I think they put cinnamon in there. Cool spot to get some work done too. Free WIFI read more

Visiting in Stockton where my partner is from. He recommends me to come to this place, while he is at work, and I'm on my odd Monday-day off. This coffee joint is awesome. Drinks are affordable! On Mondays if you buy a drink you can get a free sweet roll. How cool! So, happy I came here today, as you can tell by photos my roll & drink is almost gone. I plan to try a tea or smoothie later. A great place to spend an entire day doing work! Great music! Kid friendly! Plenty of seating & outlets! Coffee drinks, teas, smoothies, food, & beer! #SupportLocal read more

I came here yesterday around 2 pm and ordered matcha lattte and avocado toast on sourdough because its a must try on the reviews list. They don't even have matcha so I end up getting a flat white, which was nasty(not on point)and poor presentation for what there known for(not worth taking a picture). My avocado toast was on white toast, not sourdough with poor quality put into it. read more

Empresso Coffeehouse - a view of the counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

Cashier gave us a pretty bad vibe. Although we were greeted us as we arrived, he was very monotone and no so friendly. Not even a smile as he took our order. It seems like a place that already has its regulars and the cashiers seem to only be bright and friendly with those regulars. We came for two blended drinks. They were delicious, but we probably won't return due to the unwelcoming atmosphere. read more

I like this location better than the one by college square. Very spacious and more comfortable. I got a small iced white mocha, it was good in taste and you can also taste the coffee to it. I tried a chocolate chip bread that they had, however I really didn't like the taste because it was wrapped in Saran Wrap I could taste the plastic taste to it and it took away from the bread flavor. read more
