Unique Phoenix CoffeeHouse and Roastery Serves Up Tamales Too

You'll find many coffeehouses in and around the Phoenix, AZ area. Most serve the expected menu of hot and cold drinks - from fancy to pure black and hot. But...Esso Coffeehouse and Roastery is unique among the many coffee houses dotting the Phoenix, AZ caffeine scene. It is a great place for taking a break, located off the 12th street Grand Canal access. Esso makes an outing along the Phoenix Grand Canal a fun and tasty midway destination to recharge. Or, if you're caught up in the VA Hospital nearby or a half-day car repair nearby, think about plunking down here.

Order hot or cold premium coffee drinks along with exceptional pastries and unexpected tamales – yes, fresh tamales steamed and piping hot. The coffee is an in-house prep delight. The tamales are sourced from nearby Mexican bakery La Purisima Bakery. Try the green or red ones.

In-house roasting each day provides the freshest beans for making custom blends. Esso Coffee is a blend from 3 different beans from around the world. Carefully selected to make the smoothest, most balanced coffee blend you can get anywhere. 

Established in 2016, the owner Sharon Koger began mixing her roast in early 2016 with a goal of creating a blend who's quality shines through in any process of preparation.A welcoming interior and shady outdoor patio seating along with solid Wi-Fi, friendly service, a full array of delicious unique menu items and reasonable prices make this a destination for coffee aficionados.  Sharon has been thoughtful with her choices and the end result is a real treasure for the coffee culture crowd.

I attended an educational coffee tasting at Esso.Quite an experience. I tasted a unique house blend of Brazilian and Guatemalan beans. Separately, the Brazilian beans had notes of unsweetened dark chocolate and a hint of walnuts giving it an interesting finish. The Guatemalan beans were just slightly sweeter with toffee notes and a cashew finish. Combined as a blend, the coffee makes a superior tasting coffee. This is the signature blend of the house and for good reason. Who wouldn't want a fresh cup of coffee where the beans were just roasted? And the cherry on top is that all coffee drinks are made on a 1972 refurbished espresso machine.
