I've been craving their vegetarian bagel which includes hummus, avocado, pieces of cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions and it's flavorful, refreshing, and filling. Everything on the bagel tasted and looked fresh, even the avocado spread. I love meat but their bagel hits the spot and I'm happy I stopped by while I was in the area. 5/5 I had their iced matcha with coconut milk and it was refreshing and not too sweet just how I like. (sorry you all I made a mistake and the matcha drink here was good, I mistook this drink to another matcha drink I had recently). Just a reminder I need to be on top of my reviews. Oppsies, rant over sorry. I was hoping it would have a stronger matcha taste but it was better than other matcha drinks I've had. 4.5/5 The staff was welcoming when we walked in and the area has about 6 tables or so and the aesthetics are modernized. As we waited for my bagel and drink there appeared to be a lot of regulars getting their coffee fix. I had a good experience, especially since the vegetarian bagel hit the spot just like it did the first time I had it. I was not disappointed with their bagel. It was one of the highlights of this spot. read more

Great mocha, good matcha. Nice and friendly baristas and staff. Mocha is my husbands favorite drink in the Stockton area. Rich, sweet, coffee iced. 5/5 Matcha - standard matcha taste, unsweetened. 4/5 Great staff, whenever I come, greeted with friendly voices and quick service read more

The food, the e service, the ambiance, the atmosphere is all off. Why did you attempt to kick me out? What did I ever do wrong? You business isn't booming because of your merchandise. It booms because of the people that go there which is gay, nonbinary, autistic, young people whose life goal is to graduate college but not even that is feasible in there. It is just not a nice atmosphere. Change the windows, change ur ingredients. You've had the same stuff since forever. I really have a bad taste in my mouth by the fact I was kicked out. I need to know what I did so I can be a good customer but at the same time, I never want to go there again. You lost me at the poor or lack there of customer service. All of your baristas are under qualified read more

The pinini was good, I asked for no onions. No complaints on the food. Only negative is it's really cold inside the store, that's a personal preference though. read more

Empresso Coffeehouse - Turkey Pesto Panini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Stockton, California

Staff is incredible and the service is great. Truly some of the sweetest and coolest baristas around. I would give this place 5 stars, but there is always something out of stock: matcha, vanilla syrup, pastries, etc. The stocking issues are unfortunate :/ especially because the staff at this location is fantastic. read more

Wow!! What great service at Empresso this morning! Daisy and Jayena did a great job! Friendly with great attitudes and made great recommendations! Best coffee in town, served by the best baristas in Stockton!! Great job!! read more

I've been going to this location pretty much every day for the past year (I had to check my texts messages for the notification that I received a star) The service is good, the coffee is fine. The reason for the one star is the lack of supplies. The shop itself seems to hardly ever have any pastries in stock. And if they do have pastries, they are coming in at 8-9 AM via a grocery delivery service. (Mind you it's not just pastries, it's milk, and other items they need to function). As well as they seem to be low on ingredients they need to make drinks. It's become a running joke before we walk in (my co workers and I) take a guess on whether or not, they will have what they need today. The baristas always are nice and let us know that they are still waiting on the their shipment. It doesn't sound as if the baristas themselves order the items they need. It sounds as if they are just liaisons. So this is more so directed to the person who does the ordering. Why does it seem to be the case this location is neglected? Know that if you plan on going to this location please keep in mind that you may leave disappointed because this shop doesn't seem to have someone who orders the necessary items it needs to function. read more

This Empresso is tucked on the side of the County building. Street parking is available. And there's plenty of seating inside or in the outdoor patio area as well. Their paninis are awesome! (But it does get busy at lunch sometimes so I would order online or call if you're in time crunch) The veggies and cheese panini is packed with veggies and is another great vegetarian find in downtown also the spicy turkey pesto has a nice little kick. read more

The staff is great so sweet and welcoming!! The coffee is great. However they don't always carry matcha which makes me sad because they do make a mean one when they are in supply. The pastry supply is also low at times which i am also sad about. read more

came in, ordered a BLT, left with burned bread and broken up bacon falling out of the bread all over the place. smh

I absolutely love this place. Their veggie bagel is a must try & Ive never had a coffee there that disappoints. The young ladies who work there Daisy & Heather are always smiling & welcoming, they know the downtown employees by name & always greet you with the most pleasant "hello" or "welcome in". I usually request a surprise drink, the girls get creative & everything is amazing. Even if I wasn't a coffee drinker I would continue to go in just for their amazing customer service. read more

The Girls in there this morning were super busy but still managed to provide great service. And my coffee is bomb!! I appreciate a business that can manage the energy when the pressure is on & everyone is in a hurry to get to work. Wish I would've gotten names, thanks ladies you guys are killing is read more

I can feel the great customer service today and had a wonderful experience. There were no eggshells in my egg and everything was perfect minus the turkey ran out. read more

The young man was really kind and super nice and really appreciated their service and the drink was delicious!!!

I came here to kill some time and had a lovely morning. I had an egg and cheese bagel (Asiago) and a chai latte. Both were delicious. It's hard to do an egg and cheese bagel wrong, but theirs was a step above the norm. The bagel was fresh and tasty and the egg/cheese ratio was perfect. Now as good as the bagel was, the chai latte was the real winner. Now a chai can definitely be done wrong. But this was tasty with the right amount of sweet with the perfect foam and even a pretty little design to top things off. You can tell this is a local spot for lots of people who work downtown. I hope they keep it busy so Empresso can continue to serve great coffee and food. read more

Very good coffee! We first went to trail coffee and didn't like it. They don't have a lot to offer compared to empress coffeehouse. We really liked empresso coffee and the atmosphere. They had a very good food selection menu and the other side was the drinks. I love having options. Very good sandwich and coffee. read more

After lunch, I wanted to get a coffee before heading back to work. I've been to Terra and Trail coffee, which are both in the downtown area too. There were younger students and business workers that left with coffees, so it seemed pretty popular. I got an iced dirty chai, which has a coffee shot inside a chai latte. The lady described it tasting a bit like a ginger snap and it sure tasted that way. The drink didn't have too strong of a coffee taste nor was it too sweet. The cinnamon powder could be seen and did end up at the bottom, but it's no big deal. My buddy got a mocha and he enjoyed that. This might become my favorite coffee shop in the downtown area. read more

The staff here is extremely incredible!! They always know how to make this place much more than just a coffeehouse.. I come here everyday and if they were open on the weekend, I honestly would come here too lol. They always make my drinks exactly how I want and sometimes I ask them to make their own specials and I am never disappointed. To the 3 girls that run that place - Kylie, Sarah, and Heather.. keep it up girls! Y'all are doing great (excuse the empty cup.. I dumped it in my thermo cup before I took the picture) read more

I'm not much of a Yelper, but I have to say that Cory and Sara are the best! Every morning they are upbeat and engaging. Cory always has a new artist recommendation...earlier this week Sara made me a breakfast sandwich that was honestly the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had - plus it was so big I saved half for lunch. Honestly, whatever they are getting paid isn't enough! read more

Stopped my today at this new location. Owner and staff present, and extremely knowledgeable. Loving that they have a 3 group and manual drip rack. Decided to test out the offerings with a cappuccino, which was absolutely excellent, and had a bit of latte art in the foam - a sign of greatness. After my first trip, I was not disappointed, and since I'm downtown basically all the time - sorry Peet's peeps - you're being replaced. read more

Freedom Coffee Company is located in downtown Stockton. Make sure to bring a couple quarters for the meter! I was quite surprised upon walking in. Clean and modern, definitely a pleasant sight. I asked the barista for a suggestion as to what to order. He suggested the "little bro," which is 3 shots of espresso, half&half, and shaken with ice. He sounded very confident about this particular drink, so I went ahead and ordered it. Not too sweet, very creamy, good coffee flavor. My friend and I sat around and chit-chatted for a while before we headed out again. Freedom was a pleasant experience, however, I wasn't left with too big of an impression. I do plan on coming back again and trying out the other beverages! read more

I enjoyed this place. The coffee was delicious and the staff was friendly. I would definitely stop by if I was ever driving by Stockton again! read more

The girls are sweet and always cater to my diet restrictions. They are really knowledgeable and make sure I never have gluten in my food and drinks. I don't have celiacs, but do have a sensitivity and they are very caring to help me out. I love their lattes and the caramella will forever be my favorite drink. Great sugar free selection too! Just ask them, they'll make sure you have what you need (and make sure it's yummy too). They go above and beyond! read more

The new Empresso opened this week and it's got the same great coffee and people behind the counter. I was really hoping this new locale would recreate the artsy, counter-culture vibe of the original on The Miracle Mile but they went instead for the same modern, sanitized look of so many other cafés. I'm bummed. Still hoping the original location will re-open with its same endearing community hang-out vibe. read more
