"When I visit Stockton, this is the first place that I want to come to when I get to town. What you will find here phenomenal coffee, art, culture Love love love the espresso beans they roast.You can buy a bag yourself and take it home too.The one I got was called, Espresso Blend 2nd Crack.Notes of Dark Chocolate, Nutty, malt, herbal, and citrus. A nice strong roast. One of my favorites.5 stars for the constant consistency I get every time I order my latte. Places can have good coffee but if the people making your coffee don't care about the process, it can go downhill. NOTTT here though! The baristas know what they are doing. They never let the expresso shots die, so my coffee always stays creamy and bold. Never once have I felt that the coffee tastes burnt and ashy flavor.I also appreciate the hospitality. The manager here is always cheerful and leading his team to success.The location is popular with students in school so don't be surprised if you have to wait a bit for your coffee at certain hours. The atmosphere entails people sketching drawings at tables, studying books, bob ross painting on the tv, while people waiting for coffee can enjoy art on the walls. There is a nice outside patio you can bring your dog too or sit outside.They are the one of the few coffee shops I find with a 12 hour drip coffee system, and not only do they have 1, but 3! So cool !! I also enjoy the art on the walls every time I come. They change it up the art always so there are always new paintings and pictures up on the wall for sale I look forward to seeing.Every place has their bad days but luckily the times I come here has been such a wonderful experience for me, and I hope the same for you!Pros: Consistent, Bold delicious coffee, great service, patio for dogs, and a dynamic atmosphere. Cons: crowded/compact, food ticket times.Thank you Empresso, I am definitely impressed :"
