Manzanita “north” (as opposed to the RB location) is a wonderful add to the eastern end of Grand Ave in downtown Esco. Beautiful remodel in the corner of the vintage theater with open doorways and a large airy comfortable seating area. Same smooth rich coffee, same great menu selection as RB location (healthy breakfast and pastries), and a few fun unique gifts. Friendly and warm service with a smile. Great coffee house. Stop by next time you are in the area, I promise you’ll become a regular!

We stopped here on the way to the Safari Park to grab a morning cup of coffee. The barista was known to everyone! When the locals stop in and the barista knows them and their orders, it's like a little piece of Americana. The coffee was good. Special kudos for it not being served like it was poured from the gates of hell. This place has virtually mastered the perfect temperature for drinkable coffee. My wife had some honey latte thing that she absolutely loved. She even made me go back the next morning to get it again!

I have found my favorite coffee shop!! I’ve only been here a few times but the atmosphere is quite lovely! That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s quiet in a calm way. People are here (with kids) and talking but it’s not the hustle and bustle of other shops. I don’t live near here me, but this might become a regular “Let’s go have coffee” spot. Definitely I want a change of scenery and coffee. I got peanut butter toast today so I could feel like a kid! It’s actually TWO slices. I was not expecting that. If you have two young kids (minus allergies) you could order one of these and feed both. They have some gluten free options in the baked goods. Today they had protein donuts. Next time.

Um... the brown butter latte is something I’ve never had before or heard of... and Jeepers I wish coffee houses by me would make it. Because... The avocado toast is scrumptious for a lighter fare. And they make their own pickled onions... yes please! If I ever find myself back in this adorable town, I will be sure to make a trip here.

As a former coffee shop owner I have to say Amazing. The espresso was delicious and the pour over was spot on - so much flavor in both. I had no expectations but this place far exceeded any I could’ve walked in with. Eli is nothing short but a master of his craft. I will return

Bought an iced vanilla latte here and it was delicious. Definitely worth the money. There was no air conditioning inside, so it was a little hot to sit in here, but it is a cute place to sit. The upstairs is even hotter, so maybe avoid sitting there, although it is more quiet upstairs. The man who took my order and made my drink was friendly. The bathrooms were quite dirty, though.
