I've been going to this Essence Bakery location for nearly 8 years! It's one of my favorite places in Tempe for coffee meetings or a light breakfast/lunch. The coffee isn't anything special, but the small patio facing University Dr. is never overly crowded and always shaded. Though the cafe is near ASU's main campus, there aren't a lot of students who dine here. I'd recommend the menu items over what's in the pastry case.
