It's all about the pastries. We stop by weekly and load up for the week. A wonderful selection to be had from croissants to brioche and cinnamon vanilla twists.

Our family goes here once a week for bread and croissants. Haven’t tried the meal specials yet but will do so soon. Everything is fresh and delicious that we have tried!!!!

Best pastries I’ve ever had! My latte had real vanilla in it too. Going back again on our short trip in town!!!!!!

Visited Essence Bakery Cafe for the first time with a friend the other day while on a quest to find the best croissant in Phoenix!
Essence had an amazing, fun and yet classic style, fabulous baked goods and very friendly staff! We definitely enjoyed the buttery croissants, Gruyère cheese croissants and the strawberry fruit danish!
We’ll definitely be back to sample some more of their baked goods!

Creative, delicious,- can't wait to come back again. I hear the chef makes a fabulous French breakfast called LeCoque Madam
Made with that amazing butter croissant would be heaven in my mouth

Wow! Blown away by the flavors, portions, and presentation. It's rare to have every single member of our lunch party love their meal, but they did. I didn't try the desserts, but everyone else raved about them. You can't go wrong eating here.

We have been visiting Phoenix for the last few days and just happened upon this bakery after visiting Hole in the Rock. The breakfast was delightful, not too heavy, the service we wonderful and the pastries were AH.mazing! We had the macaroons, raspberry chocolate pastry, and the walnut strudel pastry. If you are near here, go, so delicious and memorable!

High quality bakery that has a good attention to detail. I've been here a handful of times and I always forget to take pictures because of how excited I am to eat. The pastries are all airy so when you eat a lot of bread you don't get bloated. The chef specials are my favorite because they're always unique dishes you won't find elsewhere. My wife has a gluten sensitivity and this place doesn't activate her sensitivity like other places. Best macrons in the valley as well. The design inside is also nice because it gives a different feel, with the high ceilings, industrial floor, and wood to balance it all out.

Amazing menu top to bottom. The pastries are renowned in Phoenix. This time, I met a friend for lunch. The quiche was perfectly seasoned, and the crust was the best I've ever had. It wasn't quite puff pastry, nor quite short pastry. Deliciousness! The rye/cherry cookie I bought for my to-go dessert would have been better chilled with a glass of milk, but I couldn't stop eating it in the car.
