Essere Caffè · [ess-eh-reh kah-FAY]

Not just a coffee
stop. A ritual.

A full-time barista. Specialty espresso, steeped tea, and cold drinks that are actually worth the detour. Essere Caffè shares a building with Essere Blu — the salon next door — but you'll find us through our own dedicated entrance at the front, open to everyone, no appointment required.

Every drink is handcrafted to order, sized the way you like it, and finished with the same care that built the space around it. Beer and wine are on the way, once our license clears.

Come for the espresso. Stay because the room asks you to.
