Empresso Coffee

"Update, 2/21/24: My customer experience has since changed, and I now enjoy the pleasures and comforts at Empresso Coffeehouse including upgrading my original star rating from 4 to 5 stars. They deserve it, thanks. My original review: November 18, 2018: Is it me, what's the deal? I’m thankful for Empresso Coffeehouse here on Janet Leigh Plaza in Downtown Stockton, but I have a bone to pick. I once went to bartender school and if there is one thing that I was taught to remember, is that if the bartender/barista is busy, make sure that you (bartender or counter service person) make eye contact with your patron and slap a napkin down on the bar/coffee counter to acknowledge them, which means I’ll be right with you. This makes the patron (Customer) welcome, and shows that you value their business. It also puts into practice good customer service skills/manners. So, each time I’ve sat at the counter here (2 times so far) there has been a strong lack of a warm greeting or acknowledgment. Last Wednesday November 14th morning my friend and I stopped in for coffee, breakfast, and danishes to go with us out of town. We sat at the counter and waited expecting someone (an employee) to welcome us and ask us our order. Well no, I had to get up and stand at the counter 1 ft. to my left and ask if I needed to order at the register. Whaaat! I didn’t feel too welcome and it made me feel awkward. So that’s my bone to pick."

"Finally made it here. Don't get downtown much anymore. Great take away from the Green Machine for a real coffee. Coffee is fantastic and the beer selection is awesome. I'll be back to try some of that beer."

"Great place great environment. The people and then placed in the owner are awesome people. Came in to finish a contract for a client my computer was dying so they allow me to plug into the wall I'm so I can finish my project. I'm very happy that this express our house is in the downtown area. #kingdomgraphixx #creative #graphicdesign"
