Empire Coffee
1204 Tower Ave, Superior, WI
Crema's Take
“This cozy Superior staple has cultivated a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that keeps people coming back for years—regulars rave about the thoughtful photography adorning the walls, the comfortable layout perfect for settling in with a laptop or meeting friends, and staff who actually remember your face and orders. Beyond the reliable espresso and crowd-pleasing classics like their blackberry mocha, Empire Coffee nails that rare balance of being simultaneously quiet enough for focused work and warm enough to feel like a community gathering spot, with solid pastries and light food rounding out the experience.”

Perhaps people mainly come here for the atmosphere which on a Tuesday in early January, it has been nice to do schoolwork here. Reading older reviews now even from 5 years ago about the burnt/bitter drinks still rings to be true, and the breakfast sandwich you could probably make more delectable at home. The young staff (Gen Z) would be the reason why I would not want to come back. We know all too well the trials and tribulations Gen Z has to offer in the service industry.
Everyone we come here it's wonderful! From the drip coffee, hot chocolate, to the blackberry mocha with whip, it's fantastic. The atmosphere, art, and comfiness is a welcoming environment (and LGBTQ+ friendly).
Great atmosphere and quiet setting. Good drinks and food, and a great place to get some work done.
Really enjoyed visiting this place. Great atmosphere and the pics here and outside of the shop don’t do it justice because it’s only when you step in you see what a gem it is. Had a great dirty chai latte the first visit. I don’t know what happened the second time but it wasn’t the same and was not spicy at all. I still would return because of the service and atmosphere .
I loved the pleasant experience going to this coffee shop. My fiance made a film here in college 5 years ago. The photography on the walls was pretty. Staff was kind and remembered her.
