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.

Favorite coffee spot in Stockton/Sacramento.Favorite drink: Filthy Chai = creamy, nice blend of spices with few shots of expresso.Favorite food: bacon & grilled cheese panini.

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.

Thanks to girl in the back who made this bagel. OMG best bagel I’ve ever had!! I cannot say enough about this. And the girl with the short black hair and blue eyes that made my Rocky Road frappe drink soooo good!! Great job you guys

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.

Always a joy visiting here! We found a new treasure of a treat to try as well lol. The Lemon Biscotti Cheesecake

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.

Super delicious coffee, great atmosphere, and its reasonably priced.You cant go wrong with any of their Frappuccinos. I highly suggest looking at the menu, their custom drinks are inventive and tasty!

Its good there Id recommend this place to friends and family.

They have best Chai Latte in the town, toasted bread with avocado and bagle with veggies and hummus must try these options.Overall you get positive vibes from the coffee shop, employees are super energetic always welco.e you with happy face.I would recommend must try

This place was amazing! I have special needs and requests, that can be annoying, they were unphased! Expresso ON POINT!

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. 👍

😋Love the drinks here! Also great service from the baristas

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.

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.

Ordered hot chai and cappuccino, both is perfect including the pastries... thumbs up..

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.

The best coffee shop in Stockton some of the employees are college students to go to the delta or UOP the coffee was good the tea is amazing

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.

First time to eat here and there was eggshell in my sandwich ☹️☹️☹️

Wanted to go here to support them, but walked in and two girls working were within a foot of each other not wearing masks and laughing so we walked right out and went somewhere else. Will not be coming back.

Superb iced tea fast great service

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.

Best coffee and good service

Best Mexican Mocha it town! So glad they opened up right next to my work a few years ago (Delta College).

VERY friendly service earlier today and my drink was so good!!

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.

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.

My white mocha was delicious and picturesque! A true frothy espresso and not a sugar loaded branded imitation

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.

My veggie bagel is life! Best coffee in town! Support local

Very good pizza. Very good coffee.

Great coffee drink and enjoyed the patio in the sun.😊

Well made Mexican mocha. Good amount of seating and close to the university.

Great place for custom coffee and relaxing

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.

Love their coffee the white mocha and always get avocado toast too. The environment give lots of good vibes.

My favorite coffee stop in Stockton. Their cappuccinos are delicious!

I has their breakfast egg and bacon bagel sandwich... it was so filling and delicious! I added avocado... I also had their passion berry smoothie... that was also sweet and fruity.. overall I had a good experience and the wait time was decent too

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.

We go to Empresso every time we are in the area. It just keeps getting better.

Its good if you have lots of time. Nobody washing hands after contact.

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.

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.

Love this place!!!🧡👌

Great staff! Coffees are out of this world. This place is fast on the way to becoming my coffee shop of choice in Stockton. It even Beats Starbucks. Did I say that? Well slap my hand. Oops!

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.

Very good coffee ☕

Busy because its good. Mostly college kids studying and socializing. White mocha is one of the best in town.

Still missing the old spot but still the great coffee and girls working ;>]

This place is dangerous they have the same trolls hanging around all day every day, they harass customers, one carries a knife with an 10 inch blade, on his belt, a lot of crazies, they scare me.

Delicious coffee, and their Chai tea is way better than Starbucks!

I love the art shows and the small shows they have with bands on occasion. This coffee shop is special to my heart. It offers delicious coffee, blended drinks, snacks, food and craft beer. A very awesome place to hang out and relax at!

Absolutely the best Iced Chai tea.. Yumminess!

Great coffee. Good place to sit and do work even when busy. Free cinnamon rolls on Monday mornings make it even better

Dropped by to get a coffee. Loved the atmosphere of this place. And the staff was very nice! This place has got so much potential! And they are holding a painting session this weekend. How exciting?!

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

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.

Great place to enjoy my coffee and treats. Comfortable place, pleasant atmosphere to relax and enjoy conversations or perform quiet work.

Great Coffee! Great Vibes! I have been getting my coffee from The Empresso for years. Definitely recommend them. Support our small businesses.👍

I miss the vibe of the old location but the new one has the same great coffee and friendly atmosphere. Plus its a stone throws away from Delta College. Love them!

I like this little spot. I always get a chunky monkey and its chocolate banana goodness! Plus they have a couple beers on tap and some options for food. Nice spot to hang out for a little lunch or even bring your laptop and enjoy the internet.

Such a wonderful place to get breakfast! The croissant I had was incredible!

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.

Great new location, same great coffee and service! They have pastries, sandwiches and beer now too. Go there and support your local business! Yummy!

The employees were friendly service was fast so far my mocha is better than Starbucks definitely five star service

Great coffee, awesome rewards, and local home town feel, support your local businesses! I feel its very competitive with Starbucks and in some ways exceeds Starbucks

Best coffee shop in Stockton! Yes, better than Starbucks. They have so many flavors and options and that includes sugar free too! Im hoping they expand outside of Stockton.

Well I just had the most delicious looking sandwich Ive had in a while. The place is nice with huge windows for great natural light inside. Paid six dollars for a sandwich and one-fifty for a cup of Joe. Absoutely fantastic.

Variety of great selections, excellent teas, friendly service, clean, healthy salad options plus desserts, craft beers and hearty good.

Get the hot twisted mocha! Im not a coffee stan, but ohmygoodness! Delicious😋

Really good coffee. I had a cold brew and it was delicious.

Good coffee ☕

Fantastic service and quality. Try oat milk with your next drink, you wont regret it!

This place is really nice. Great coffee. Try the cold brew. Its science.

Prices are a bit higher. But good food and coffe. Cool place

My drinks always taste great!!! Much cheaper than the chain coffee spots.

Good cheap food, coffee and, occasionally, beer. Wouldnt pick any other place in Stockton. Convenient spot near Delta College campus.

New spot by my work. Awesome customer service. The employees are awesome! Great prices too and great coffee

Great coffee and sandwiches!

Awesome place. Great perks on Mondays free cinnamon roll with each coffee purchase

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.

Not the friendliest of people but damn good coffee at reasonable prices. Would recommend for all of your caffeine needs!

Great Vibes, fantastic service, coffee is on point and they always have sneaky good beer on tap.

Coffees great as always but the seating is uncomfortable. I cant fit in the bar stools at all and its tight on their chairs inside. If youre a bigger person you might wanna get it to-go or sit at their outside eating area.

Fantastic coffee and food! Three breakfast sandwiches are my favorite! Locally owned.

Made my girlfriend buy coffee to use the restroom. Coffee was as bad as their attitudes

My son always takes me here. Very nice people and there coffee is outstanding.👌👌👌

Small place, busy and loud, but Im not the type to hang out. I removed a star for the atmosphere described. The americano was very good.

Excellent options of handcrafted coffees, teas, and food! Very youthful, hipster environment.

Definitely worth the $$$. Fast and friendly service and good coffee!

Stop by and grab an espresso and breakfast sandwich in the morning, then come back for lunch, and again for craft beer for happy hour in the evening to watch the game. Great crowd, and clean, industrial design are super inviting.

Big band music at the end of closing was Fabulous, wish they played it all the time. really brought class to the place

Spend your dollars here. Best coffeehouse in town! Im loyal to the Chunky Monkey.
