Out of all the establishments that have shown extensive courtesy for their customers, this cafe has proven that it truly cares for the individual such as myself and my selfish desires. Perhaps one of the more saddening parts of society is that selfish desires are inherently suppressed, not by the consumer, but by the establishments brought up in this competitive society. I found myself thoroughly surprised and filled with pleasure when I was granted an eggs scrambled with everything on it to another establishment, and this egg was amazingly cooked with passion, love, care, and intimacy. Truly an amazing experience, and I would encourage any that seek out a cafe that serves its customer with respect and care to visit Empresso, especially with coffee and food that represent such high quality.

Ordered online for pickup. 2 drinks. 2 bagels. 2 sandwiches. Get there and the order is ready. But theres no drinks made. I tell the guy and he makes me show him the receipt on my phone (no problem, its ok that he checked) because the drinks werent on the receipt they printed in store. He makes the drinks right away. No complaint. Get to the car and taste the drinks. Actually really delicious beverages. Get home and I just cant believe what Im looking at. Bagels with no cream cheese. Barely any lox. Sandwich on wrong bread. I paid extra for a croissant. Got sourdough. Bottom line, drinks were good if they actually make them. Skip the food. Wont be going back.

Great local spot, coffee is tasty and strong! Breakfast sandwiches are delicious! Highly recommendable. Good job on the food and coffee, the service could use more friendliness and smiles. Staff looks like they are stuck there doing a job, could be more amicable. Overall good.

Great coffee, service, and atmosphere. Just wish it remained open later, but may understand if it is due to the influx of people congregating in that area of Stockton during the night.

LovelyOrdered a Cortado a shot of espresso and a French press coffee (light roast).Very good. The Cortado was delicious 10/10. The espresso was good, a little bitter but it had nice notes of walnut and a sweetness to it 7/10. The French press was excellent with hints of orange peel 9/10.The employees were very friendly, if I lived here I would be back. 👍

Brewquarters; Great Coffee, Great Rotating Local Beers on Tap and friendly staff. Easily best White Mocha in and around Stockton. Happy Hour is 4pm to 7pm. Have a beer or two, you deserve it. Oh Yeah, great home made Cinnamon Rolls! Dont confuse this place as just another coffee place.

Empreso is impressive. Lol. This was the first place I ever had cold brew coffee it should come with a warning label that reads high octane 😁. I love this stuff its one of my favorite cold Brews in town.

Review №16

I used to love empresso on the mile, they completely changed in quality and service. Today (june 2 2021) i went in to get coffee because I was under the impression that the staff were wearing masks, half of the crew there were not. The two unmasked girls in front stared at me and my husband and laughed. We immediately left, It really is not hard to wear a mask when taco truck people are over a hot grill all day wearing one...I dont care if you are full vaccinated, I want my food/drink handled by someone who cares about not only my health but theirs. Not only that, but someone who cares about their COMMUNITY. I dont understand how this simple task has not been expressed by everyone. I love supporting small businesses but I will not support one that does not care for human safety or their community. This is Very sad and disappointing.

It would be an insult to compare this to Starbucks or Peets coffee, they are clean, great service, greet you at the door, attention to detail, great place to relax and chill, I have gone several times since Ive been here in Stockton and they have always been on point, keep up the good work.

Review №20

Their lox Bagel is absolutely out of this world!!! The flavor is not only Savory but they put enough lox on the bagel to where you feel full and satisfied!!! I also enjoyed their mocha very much. I am not a coffee drinker, so when I went out on a limb on a cold rainy day and ordered a coffee I was pleasantly surprised!!! My only gripe about Empresso is for the shop being an ex Starbucks oh, there are very few Outlets for you to charge your mobile devices on. The outlets that they do have are very few and are extremely wobbly and do not hold your charger in very well. That is super disappointing. Otherwise, the experience was pretty good. I will definitely be going back Time After Time for that amazing bagel.

Pretty neat coffee place in Stockton. We got there about 15 minutes before closing, just to check it out and meet some friends. Some of the staff seemed pretty dissapointed that they might have to serve us a beverage, which was pretty strange. But kind of a neat place overall.

8/11/2020We wanted some patio-seating, breakfast, & a pick-me up brew. First thought, Empresso. My sister put me on their Chai Latte. Amazing! The Nitro Cold Brew is strong, nutty, and smooth.We asked the barista for recommendations for breakfast. She kindly suggested the bacon egg sandwich. The bacon was crispy, the egg was well seasoned, and the sandwich was overall tasty.Thank you Empresso for all your accomodations during these COVID times.

Review №29

Good coffee with a variety of flavors and fairly cheap. The atmosphere is also good. Unfortunately, the ordering system they have going on confuses costumers—people grab others drinks because of the confusion in order calling. The time for orders to be made is quite longer than normal. In the recent visit, I had waited 30+ min. for my order, I decided to leave without a drink. I would suggest to the staff to call the orders by name of costumer instead of drink type.

In an era of corporate coffee houses, Empresso stands on its own. A great place to get coffee (or a beer after work) and a quick bite to eat. Staff is always helpful and accommodating.

Great place for coffee. My friends and I used to hangout all the time from their previous location down by Miracle Mile. Right now, its perfect coz they are situated closer to where I am. My go-to drink is chunky monkey. 🙊🤪 Yall should give it a try, if you havent yet.

Review №32

Empresso needs to figure out what time they want to be open and be consistent about it. Have gone several times around 6:15 (which is what google maps says by the way) and been helped only to have an employee today tell me that they don’t open until 6:30. Not good.

Review №34

Amazing! Cant believe there is such a nice spot in Stockton. The coffee is really delicious. Ive only had the drip, black, both days dark roast and smooth, not acidic like a lot of other coffees.The service is incredibly friendly, its a mellow mood in here, its no Starbucks which is fantastic.Plenty of seating, plenty of parking, great climate control, good choice of music (actually great choice) and a really nice mix of crowds that come here.There is a lot of outside seating and there is free wifi, ask for the password. I believe they have a good selection of food as well but Ive only done coffee here.

That was my forth time that visiting the place. The coffee is good, they have a broad selection of flavors and types. They just need a better selection of creamers for me. My opinion, they need to get some powder non dairy creamer and allow the customers to pour their own non-dairy liquid creamers such as the almond milk.

Review №44

The service, coffee and food were excellent. I had a perfectly crafted pumpkin spice latte that brought all the Autumn flavors and aromas to life, along with a heavenly slice of pumpkin bread that was topped with a crunchy and flavor layer of nuts and seeds. The ambience though was a bit clinical, like a computer lab. It would be nice if a few warm touches were added to the decor to make it feel more inviting, but its still 5 stars from me for providing delicious beverages and food, along with such a fun, kind waitstaff.

Really excellent coffee and some decent food choices. I get the breakfast sandwiches, they are made to order and a pretty good deal (about $6 for a hearty sandwich). The atmosphere is nice, lots of people studying/working. The outdoor seating has a view. . . of a strip mall parking lot but I guess you cant have everything.

Review №48

You absolutely MUST go. This establishment is by far my favorite place in all of Stockton.To start, the coffee is superb. Its rich and bold, and yet it still blends perfectly with flavored drinks. You wont find a better cup of coffee anywhere else in Stockton.Second, the taste and the quality of the food is phenomenal. The portions are certain to leave you satiated, yet youll want to order something additional just because the prices are so low!The beer is local, high quality, and appropriately priced. The classy sophisticated ambiance of an upscale coffee house does well to dissuade and discourage those who choose to imbibe from over indulgence.The staff is friendly and helpful. The vibe is laid back. I chanced upon this place at about 10:30pm after a long day at work; frustrated that there was no where to eat at such an hour- outside of a drive through heart attack shack.If you pass on this place then youre clearly nuts, and may need therapy.

Review №51

What I love most about this place is how affordable it is while maintaining a good quality (not the best but great nonetheless) and being open until late. Also it is very spacious and great for either studying or working for hours on end. Their food selections are yummy and reasonably priced. I quite enjoy their pour overs and their pumpkin dirty chais.My only complaints about this place is that some of the tables are getting a bit wobbly and some of the outlets are very loose and dont actually hold a charger in place. Lastly the music here will change dramatically from genre to genre with no consistency, so its best if you bring your own headphones.Overall my fave coffee shop in Stockton and a site that has allowed me to survive various classes, applications, and key moments in my life for several years now. I miss the old site on Miracle Mile but glad to see the spirit of Empresso lives on in Stockton.

I visit Stockton at least once a year and I always have work to do. I live in Milwaukee where coffee houses are very common, so I really appreciated the friendly and prompt service at Empresso. I also like the comfortable setting and music selection. I intend to come back very often and try more items in their menu.

It was getting late and Idve rather been at home. A police activity blocked the route, traffic was impacted. Luckily this coffee shop was open & inviting. Lots of parking and enough patrons to help forget why I stopped in the first place.

One of the best Matcha green tea lattes Ive had. Also the black and white coffee drink is delicious. I verbally recommend people to go here if passing through Stockton. Modest location. One day Ill ask how they make it taste so good

Review №64

One of the cashiers here has a bad habit of putting her fingers on the inside of peoples cups to grab them immediately after handling cash. Not the most sanitary place in the world... I came pretty early and they were out of chocolate chip cookies, they said they only make 4 every morning.... Yeah, genius. After they made my drink incorrectly (regular milk instead of almond milk) the girl with the dreads said, Just tell us next time.... I did tell you guys... Its not my fault the cashier didnt hear me or you guys werent paying attention.

The BEST coffee shop ever. If I could give a million stars I would. They have anything that your heart desires: food , pasteries, coffee, tea (hot or iced), & smoothies. They are hands down my favorite local business and if you havent tried them you DEFINITELY should!! There is one downtown by the movie theater and one off Pershing in College Square.

A quick stop in for a cup of espresso was quite disappointing. The coffee came out of 5 lb freezer packs and didnt seem fresh. There were people smoking at the entry door and once inside there was alot of cussing which made it uncomfortable. Based on the website we were expecting high quality coffee. I would not recommend for families or people with young children.
