Coffee is good. What I find dishonest is the sign for blended beans is "from 30 years ago" and not accurate. Sign says 9.95 but got charged 12.95. No need to advertise false pricing, when you can get a new sign that allows you to change prices at will. That just seems sketchy, dishonest, penny pinching and lazy. read more

I work near by and find myself actually sad on weekends due to missing out on my next door coffee run. They make amazing coffee that doesn't make me sick - never that sweet junk like Starbucks/Dunkin (sorry but honest). Even better than the coffee is their chai, SO YUM. I am recently a huge chai fan, but can't seem to find one as good as Seattle's Busy Bee Chai w/ lavender and honey! They also carry fresh bakery treats that I believe are also locally bought. You don't have to trust my word though - there is always a crowd of coffee people in and out throughout the day who I'm sure will also attest - BEST local coffee shop in Tempe! read more

Cute little spot with great coffee. Enjoyed myself a large french caramel mocha and was pleasantly surprised by the combination of flavors. Friendly staff and cute setting. Will certainly be returning here soon! read more

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.

I dont come here regularly. Reasons? Location is good but parking can be a fiasco between speed bumps, Zipps, Harbor Freight, and the dance studio with parents that seem incapable of actually parking IN the lot as opposed to curbside the studio. I will tell you the mix master working on this particular evening was very polite and professional. He was capable of taking an order, starting the drink AND answering questions about other menu items without a hiccup. We ordered our beverages and meandered the shop to see what changes had taken place since last visit. Art was different. Wondering now if the artist rotates once their pieces sell. I recognized some art that reminded me of a trip I made to WA and our barista told me the owner got it in WA from where they originate Well that finally explains to me the business name. Hey! I never knew. Found it strange that a couple tables were occupied by a couple weary travelers. I will say it was a beautiful evening and a brief stroll with my delicious, extra hot drink was very nice way to end the peaceful day. read more

Their coffees are so good! We got the White Russian and French Caramel latte, and both are delicious.

Happy Coffee Spot, Great Prices and Service! I Came, I Saw, I Drank Coffee! This is a nice little coffee shop that also has bulk coffee and tea as well as other related accessories! The service was great from the young man who told me this place has been here for 26 years and this is the first time I ever noticed it! I was happy to sip my iced americano with caramel and talk for a bit to the friendly guy working there. You cannot beat $2.50 for coffee, which seems to me to be the price coffee should be!!! Good job people! This shall be one of my new spots! Go get a cup of joe! read more

Was recommended to visit this shop by my friend who is a regular and it was great! Small little local coffee shop in a corner plaza in Tempe off of warner. Was greeted by the cashier as she was helping other customers. I ordered a small iced latte with almond milk (their latte comes with one shot) one the coffee was not bitter... thank you for doing it right! My friend ordered an iced 20oz americano (he ordered an extra shot to make it a double). We paid about 6$ for both drinks. So extremely affordable and great tasting coffee! The vibes are very chill and have great chill music in the background. read more

I went to this coffee shop because they had good reviews. It's a very narrow store, and when I first walked in, I didn't think there was anyplace to sit. When I looked farther, though, I saw the tables, and I think they all had outlets for charging. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and the entire atmosphere is very friendly. I met two ladies who were knitting. I like to knit, so we talked for a few minutes. I asked how they met, and they met at Seattle Espresso! I also got to talking to a teacher, and she pulled up a chair at my table and talked to me for a few minutes. I'm an introvert and not really that social, but like I said, it's just a friendly place. The only negative I have is that the store is so narrow that it's easy to overhear other people's conversations. This is probably an aspect that makes it so friendly, but at times, it made it hard to concentrate. I would definitely return but with earplugs. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The staff were very friendly, it was very clean inside and the coffee was delicious. I loved their selection of sugar free items. Not enough coffee shops carry a healthy selection of sugar free items. read more

Seattle Espresso is truly a local gem. Tucked away in the corner of an unassuming strip mall, this little shop is home to some of the most delicious drink concoctions I've come across. Most people know and love Seattle's "White Russian", which contrary to it's name doesn't have alcohol, but is instead a luscious white chocolate latte. There are seasonal drinks, like pumpkin and cinnamon in the fall and rose and white chocolate for Valentine's day. The baristas are all extremely skilled and have worked there for many years, so they know you by name. You will find this place busy on a Saturday morning with the regulars willing to wait in line for their favorite drinks, and let me tell you, it's worth the short wait. Although it gets busy, the baristas are efficient and the drinks always come out perfect. Inside the shop, the walls are decorated with art from local artists that are available to purchase and a cozy seating area to enjoy your coffee and pastry. All sorts of milks are available to choose from and the flavor list is extensive. There is no tip option on the credit card machine, so make sure to bring cash for your favorite barista! read more

We will drive from Gilbert to get a iced White Russian here. The coffee is always consistent, never bitter. There isn't a coffee I have loved more. read more

Great espresso and great people. Wonderful place to work and meet for a coffee and a chat.

Picked this place randomly since I don't live in Tucson and like to support the smaller chains Got a 16oz cafe au lait with oat milk for less than $3 and the coffee was roasted perfectly with the right balance of coffee and milk Low key atmosphere and funky music Can't really ask for anything better than that Now I have my go-to place when I'm in Tempe Oh and they don't do tips on credit cards so bring a couple of bucks--the staff is cool and deserve it read more

This little coffee shop is becoming a good place to hang to and visit. The coffee's good and the ability to sit outside in the shade is perfect. The baked goods are tasty and homemade, but get there early or they're gone. read more

Seattle Espresso is my favorite coffee spot for so many reasons! First, the coffee is smooth and always amazing. They carry a slew of syrups that make all your coffee drink dreams come true. And, the lovely baristas are always so friendly and welcoming. They will remember your favorite drink after a few visits and always recommend something fun to try when you're in a new flavor funk. I cannot say enough how much I love this coffee shop! And, don't forget to meet up with friends here. They have a great seating area out front with a fountain that makes any friend time a great time. Be sure to watch for BOGO days! Thanks Seattle Espresso! read more

Came here on one of my work adventures. It's neither greatly memorable in a good or bad way. The barista was nice enough and the coffee was okay. As was the untoasted bagel I had. The prices were fair. Given the chance I may return for another try. read more

I am from New England, so I'm normally a die hard Dunkin Donuts customer. But after they screwed up my order for the millionth time, I decided to give Seattle Espresso a try. The line was out the door, but it moves quickly. The coffee is fantastic. The service is friendly and quick. The drinks have always been delicious and I love that it is locally owned. read more

I recommend the Bella mocha pretty tasty and the coffee did not taste burnt :) very cozy place

I've been coming here on and off for a few years now and came in yesterday to meet one of my friends, she comes here more than me, I didn't recognize this new barista but she completely ruined the experience. It's one thing when you can't make an average cup of coffee but she was so rude! At first, I thought the attitude was incredibly dry humor but after no laughs and a blank face, my friend and I realized she was not a fan of us for whatever reason. Now don't get me wrong I thought maybe she was having a bad day but after chatting with my friend after the event she told me that this "attitude" is normal. The coffee here CAN be great there's a reason why I have been a reoccurring customer for years but I am pretty upset by my recent visit. Luckily there is one barista I know who makes a classic Seattle Espresso drink Cross your fingers that you come on the right day! read more

I had my first espresso coffee drink here as a teenager long before Starbucks invaded the Valley. On my recent trip, I stopped in to their location on the northeast corner of Warner and McClintock for a nice Member Berry Latte. Jokes aside, I opted for a simple double Espresso. It was pulled nice and fast although served hotter than most. The place still does a brisk business with a limited and basic interior and good exterior seating. Seattle Espresso still serves a good coffee experience in the old neighborhood hopefully providing that first drink to another generation of lucky people. read more

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

We found this place years ago when we went to a float session. It was closed, so we never visited. Dh was on his own for a while, so decided to find this place and check it out. He was impressed with their Espresso. He has been on a crusade to find good espresso in Phoenix since we got back from Seattle. What a better place to find good espresso than Seattle Espresso, who knew? hahaha I guess many know because even early mornings this place is hopping! I love how many seats are available outside. There is seating inside as well, but I am still not ready to sit inside just yet. I get a hot cocoa made with soy milk. I know the barista warned me won't be creamy, but it tastes really good and does not bother my stomach! Win-win.The other part of this coffee shop is that they bring in the most delicious sweets to go with your drink. I have not found anything that does not taste, just ok, all tastes delicious! The last thing we discovered is that Seattle Espresso carries single origin coffee beans! Something dh is into! We can get beans, drink and food all in one nice little shop. This place is replacing the big coffee shop I was hooked on for a while. read more

Being that not many places were open on New Years Day, I decided to cruise around and see what was open. Being that the bookstore wasnt quite open yet and had a horrendous line, I drove around a little bit to see if I could grab a cup of coffee to kill some time. I pulled into the parking lot because theres several stores located in this strip mall, and have shopped at a few stores here before. I found this coffee shop smashed inbetween other stores. Its a very small shop, with extremely limited seating. I will say I liked it here, and I enjoyed my experience for a lot of reasons. Thier prices are cheap as all get out, which is great! I got a 12 ounce Mocha for $3.24. Awesome! Service here was amazing and friendly, and I will gladly return in the future. So why 3 stars? there were a whopping 2 tables to sit at inside, and thats kind of a problem. I also asked the girl about the internet, and she said the signal was in and out, and should be fixed in a few days after the holiday. For me, a coffee shop is a place that I like to park at for an hour, plug in my computer, surf the net, and drink coffee. I dont like sitting outside because A) I have no plug and my battery dies after an hour, and B) in the summer Im not sitting in the heat. So, even though I would return for the prices and service, I wouldnt recomend this place for anyone who plans on staying for more then 5 minutes. read more

Friendly, cheerful service and unique coffee drinks. I tried the iced white Russian mocha, which was smooth and refreshing. They offer a decent range of sugar free Torani syrups, such as pumpkin spice, and the soy milk they use is nice that it's an organic brand. It's definitely a good place to get your caffeine fix! read more

I lived around the corner from Seattle Espresso for years and was a frequent patron, coming here several times a week. As someone who doesn't really like coffee, I would always order the White Russian Mocha, which is basically white chocolate powder, milk, and espresso. Very sweet and sugary, with just a kick of caffeine! The employees are always great here, and once you've become a frequent customer, they will remember your name and your drink preferences. More than once, I've entered SE to find my drink already made, waiting for me on the counter!! So nice. I love Seattle Espresso's "Sick Tea," which is a combo of a few different teas. It's the best for when you're starting to feel sick. I like to buy some to keep at home for days when I'm feeling under the weather. If you ask nicely, they will even give you a few tea bags to take home (since it's a loose leaf tea). The pastry selection isn't very good, so don't come here for breakfast. They have a small selection of pastries and bagels, which are good quality but nothing special. Unfortunately there is no toaster for the bagels (hint hint, management!). Don't forget your stamp card!!! read more

Best coffee in Tempe/Chandler area! Dog friendly patio and indoor seating. The employees are kind.

Happened to be in the parking lot at another store in the strip plaza where Seattle Espresso is. Figured I'd try a drink here. I chose the Iced Bella Mocha. It was very tasty, a little pricier than I'm used to, but the flavor was very good and fresh. I will be back! read more

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

If Cheers were a coffee shop... A place where everybody knows your name... Pretty much sums up how the staff interacts with the patrons and how the patrons interact with each other. I gotta give a shout out to the barista on the Tuesday morning shift. He took a bit of my heckling before making me a gorgeous cappuccino. Here was our exchange: Him: What will you have? Me: How is your cappuccino? Him: It's decent. Me: In that case, I'll have a latte. Him: No - actually it's really good. I've been a barista for [super big number of] years. Me: Ok then. I'll give it a try. And then he proceeded to make me a gorgeously crafted cappuccino - nailed the microfoam, nailed the espresso, nailed the pour. Me = very happy. I've been back - and the cappuccino continues to be epic. Thanks, Tuesday Morning Barista. I was also able to get a table and work at my computer for a few hours. It's not a huge place inside (definitely more relaxed than the outside appearance seems to suggest) but there was a good stream of people who come and go during the morning. read more

A cute little coffee shop! I stopped in on a Sunday morning and it was busy, but not in a way that made it overcrowded. Service was mostly friendly (if a little short) and I was served within 10 minutes of arriving. I'm FROM Seattle, so I'm especially picky with coffee... and this was delicious. A little milkier than Seattle coffee but the espresso had the right amount of caffeine. I highly recommend the Bella Mocha! It's rich and not too sweet. The only downside to my visit was my blueberry scone--order something different. It only had ONE blueberry in it and was a little too crumbly. I'll be back to try the White Russian... but I'll skip the pastry next time. read more
