Although this place has limited seating, their food and drinks are great! The service was very nice and this place is very cozy. Tables are set for two people. I'm excited to return to this place :)

Extremely disappointing service.
I had a really poor experience at this restaurant. From the moment I walked in, there was no one to greet or seat me, and it felt like they just didn’t care about customer service. The staff clearly lacks the training needed to properly serve guests.
As a customer, I find it unacceptable to be treated with such indifference. A place that can’t even offer basic courtesy shouldn’t be in business. Consider this a warning if you expect decent service. I definitely don’t recommend it!

I tried to join the waiting line, only 1 person, but they couldn't register the phone, as it was from Brazil. This way I waited the first 20 minutes, as requested by the attendant. After 20 minutes, I went to look for the attendant and was asked to wait a little longer, in the meantime, there was a two-seater table unoccupied for more than 15 minutes, and still no service. I asked to go to the bathroom, they told me to go outside, when I entered, the bathroom was next to the place where they were washing dishes. I didn't like the place, but unfortunately I can't comment on the food, as I gave up and went to the nearby restaurant, where I was served right away, even though the house was full.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I have heard amazing things about Esencia, but it took me far too many months to finally go! On a whim, my friend and I went for a post-workout brunch, and it slapped.
I got the huevos con chorizo torta (similar to a breakfast sandwich, with eggs, chorizo, cheese, crema, avocado/guac, and more. Sooo good. It was recommended by our server, Tomás. He took great care of us, was happy to recommend, was attentive, not pushy (we were there when it was close to closing time), and he even asked if he could bring my dog a treat!
Excellent service. No wonder there’s always a wait! Just get your name in, go check out the local coffee shops or farmers market, and wait your turn. It’s so worth the wait!!! Enjoy!!!

Woah! Came here and was impressed how good it was. The greek yogurt and the sandwhich, along with the potatoes, were amazing. Perfectly seasoned. Just right. Staff was nice. Vibes felt great. Only thing I'd suggest that for the greek yogurt should have less banana pieces ? more berries ? instead.

Had a great breakfast here, and the coffee was awesome. I enjoyed sitting by the window watching the traffic go by. Recommend a try here!

Every dish that came out of the kitchen looked divine! We had the torta and the pesto eggs with the biscuits on the side. Best biscuits I’ve ever had, and the other food was beyond delicious. Service was earnest and proactive, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. 10/10 will come again.

Thank you for my side potatoes today! I love this resturant. The food is so great. We moved here a week ago and been having breakfast here almost everyday. Everything is so good. And the coffee is perfection. Just a reminder about the beef chorizo ?
Only improvement, the inside of the restaurant is always FREEZING
