Only stopped by because it was the only thing we found open. Very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food, and the coffee was excellent. Don't ever plan on being back in Yakima but if I do I will make a point to come back for more treats.

Fantastic pastries and sandwiches!

I'm picky about my bread and pastries. This place is the real deal.

From their delicious homemade mocha sauce and homemade breads to their amazing espresso and wonderful pastries (ham & cheese croissant & every.sweet.goodie), there is nothing they make that I don't love. And their staff is very attentive and genuine. A special gem in Yakima, for sure. I wish we had a second location in West Valley!

The bakery was a small and cozy place. My boyfriend and I got a sandwich and a milk pudding. It was yummy.

i have been going to Essencia Bakery on average once a week for years. The soups, sandwiches, salads, breads, treats, cakes, cookies are amazing. You can tell they love what they do because it is reflected in everything they make including the peanutbutter cookies, oatmeal and coffee! Recently I bought a Danish rye bread at Essencia, and it was so delicious with butter, jam and honey that I could not stop eating it!! We are lucky to have Essencia here!!🥰❤️😋

Cozy spot. Ask for a mug if you don't want a paper cup. Han/cheese croissant (slightly nuked) made a satisfying, though not standout, light lunch.

This is definitely a place you need to cone early. The food is good, wish there was more selections, but like I said you need to come early. It's a great place to get a good start to a day of shopping or a great place to start or end your early date, meeting up with friends. This is one place my hubby and I are coming back to

This is a great bakery. Lots of great food options and typical bakery stuff. Coffee options are good and overall the prices are reasonable.
Love the complete dessert options for purchase.
Also, the artwork for sale is one of a kind. Lots of paper made flowers of various shapes and sizes.
I'm gonna start stopping by regularly for various things.
Best bakery in Washington State! My husband is French and very picky about food. This is the only bakery we've come across in the US that has earned his stamp of approval. We've been to bakeries in the Bay Area, Seattle, Spokane, Portland and so forth. Highly recommend.

Always such a fun visit. The food is great, drinks are great, it's a cute and cozy little place to sit down or order to go.

Disappointing Visit on Small Business Saturday
We visited Essencia hoping for lunch and coffee. We ordered paninis but unfortunately they were cold. Since they were just past closing they refused to turn the panini press back on to fully cook our food. While they offered pastries as a gesture it didn’t make up for the lack of a proper lunch.
The staff was also decorating for Christmas during business hours, leaving limited seating and feeling like we were in the way. The overall experience on small business Saturday left us disappointed.

Cute bakery with authentic and delicious pastries like sweet or savory croissants. They also have espresso and flavored coffees.
