Reviews for Essencia Artisan Bakery in Yakima, WA
Great pastries, bread, and coffee!!!! Definitely recommend!
Wow! We were hesitant to try this spot after having come one afternoon and seeing empty shelves. Should have realized that meant... things were so good that they sold out early. Definitely recommend getting their early to get your pick. Coffees great, love theberry scones, nectarine and strawberry/rhubarb tartine, chocolate croissant, ham and cheese croissant, orange raisin roll, whitechocolate cardamom cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and when i first posted this review the kouign amann was a heavenly soft andlightly sweet croissantlike delicacy but they must have changed their recipe and it?s now collapsed looking (compared to what itused to look like) and really thick crunchy outside bordering on burnt (would love for them to go back to that original recipeas it was hands down the favorite thing on the menu). Mushroom breakfast sandwich is good too - bread on it is pretty perfect.We are regulars here now. Read more
Great location. It is one of several great eateries on this block. The breads and pastries are exceptional. I was very happ... with my iced mocha, it wasn't too sweet and it didn't have too much ice. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable aboutthe bakery menu. Read more
There's a sweet croissant pastry called the BEEHIVE.... indescribably delicious ,you have to go try it, we may even travel back... from Seattle just for this once in a while. Excellent quality goods. Read more
The double fudge brownie is fantastic once it has warmed up, so is the orange olive cake and beehive. Unfortunately, 5 of the 6... macron were a hard cracker than the light crunchy exterior and soft interior of the traditional French pastry. The canele wascloser to a flan texture once you get through the crust. Definitely worth a visit to try the other items. Read more
Fantastic croissants. their almond As well as their ham and cheese are some of the best I've had. Very heavy on the butter and... yet still light and flaky. A must go if you're in Yakima Read more
Wonderful service, delicious treats, exceptional quality, and a real, creamy cappuccino (NOT a watered down drive-thru version).... I recommend bringing a book and sipping your espresso from a mug. Old world, crusty breads; delicate, flakey pastries; so manytreats to take home for later. Such a surprising gem for downtown Yakima! Read more
Incredible pastries. Breakfast sandwich was on the dry side.
