The Espresso Bar
US 49, Madison, MS
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Madison, this espresso-focused spot has mastered the art of handcrafted drinks made with genuine care, earning passionate loyalty from regulars who rave about the skill and heart the team puts into every cup. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine pit stop and a welcoming gathering place where the baristas remember why you're there—whether it's fueling up for your day or finding a moment of calm during life's chaos. Fair warning: their portions run generous and prices reflect the quality and attention, so come ready to invest in a coffee that's clearly made by people who actually care.”

Listen.. if you want a good pep in your step and a good glide in your slide! go get you a coffee of any kind. It’s made with love and ambition. The ladies are always kind and gentle hearted. They want you to have a good day. And get a baked good! A cookie, a muffin, a strudel! A well deserved breakfast for God giving morning! They do what they love so you can love what they do!
I have visited this shop a minimum of 12 times. Out of the many visits, I have not ONCE been greeted. I have said countless times, I would no longer come here for coffee. Weeks would pass, and I would still break my word and go. Today was truly my LAST visit. It cost NOTHING to speak, smile, or warmly greet to your customerS. At this point, I am forced to believe the cold and lack of desire to serve demor is intentional. I can no longer excuse the lack of quality customer service as poor personalities (of the owner and her helper). I strongly believe you could get better service from ANY McDonald's. They will at least answer your questions, if you attempt to casually lighten their bad mood with a simple lines like, "how are you? " They will likely also respond with "you're welcome and you too", if a customer says "thank you, have a great day. " I'm sorry, but I have Never experienced basic customer service (gentle smile, warm greeting, value, gratitude at departure) at this coffee shop. If just these basic things would be implemented from the owner down, I would recommend this coffee shop. Until then, I will travel and encourage those of my nature to do likewise if they want service to match quality.....
Their medium is around 7 dollars, it would be a small anywhere else (banana for scale) and they don't fill it up if you request no ice. Coffee is good, but not worth the price.
Ahh!!! I love this coffee shop and the people who work here! I came through one day after being up all night with a baby, my husband was at the hospital with his Dad, my toddler was going crazy. I told her I needed something with enough sugar to give me diabetes and enough caffeine to kill a horse. She NAILED IT!!! I've been a regular ever since. It's also refreshing to just pull up and they already know my order, they're all SO sweet! My kids love the strawberries and cream frappe! They make them so pretty, too 💕🥰
This is great coffee and lattes. These young ladies are really good. And they are always accurate when fixing your drinks, I recommend this espresso bar for your morning pick me up happy drink.Thank you, girls. You make my day every day.
