Raclette for Brunch right now!! Delicious Swiss🇨🇭🧀 cheese over perfectly scrambled eggs with bacon, roasted fingerling potatoes and organic vegetable confetti - Breakfast with attitude!
Breakfast is serious business here at Essence - we take eggs seriously! Organic eggs cooked low and slow - which result in creamy, soft deliciousness never any of that nasty high temperature overcooked tough stuff! Cooked with McClendon Farm sweet peppers and chives served with a rosemary ham steak and our warm gruyere cheese croissant! Breakfast special today.
Pumpkin Spice Latte - the real deal, plain and simple - no fake this or that, it’s against the Essence Religion! Espresso blended with our homemade spiced caramel sauce topped with organic pumpkin 🎃 spice chantilly cream and dusted with our pumpkin spice! Happy 😊 Halloween 👻
Having fun with my baking team - all girls, all superstars in the making! CCAP graduate and CCAP apprentices! It’s our pilot apprenticeship program in Arizona and it is awesome!
Caramel Cafe Glacé - because this is how we roll! We take our Organic Nicaraguan Coffee locally roasted by Espresso Italia and blend it with our rich caramel sauce, vanilla paste and organic heavy cream! We also make vanilla and mocha glacés with our own sauces. Nothing like homemade!
Peach Central 🍑over here! And tomorrow it’s National Peach Pie Day. We were lucky to receive a special delivery of these Palisades Colorado peaches and they are soooo good! One bite and there’s this luscious juice running down your arm - remember that?! Come get peach goodness all weekend! 😍🍑
New stuff that tastes as cute as it looks and is my new favorite! Very chocolate pots de creme baked in a chocolate tarte topped with a mini chocolate Madeleine and vanilla churro. So much goodness in a little package of 💕.
New stuff, my favorite part of summer - new product testing! Cookies, breads, pastries - I love it all! This is a Hayden Mills Wheat Sourdough that makes a killer breakfast toast. This weekend we will have honey wheat brioche with streusel, cream cheese danish and sampling new cookie!
Paris in Phoenix - 20+ years ago my French husband convinced me to leave Paris so I had to recreate my favorite French foods. This is 100% classic and done right it never goes out of style!
New cookie and I CANNOT stop eating them! Valrhona Chocolate Chunk Cookie - crackly on the edges with a soft, chewy chocolate center of Dulcey Valrhona Chocolate Chunks sprinkled with Fleur de sel. Tastes like the best brownie-cookie combo. 😍
New and exciting pastries this weekend! Like this Cinnamon Twist Croissant which is in my opinion “to die for”, it’s like biting into a cinnamon sugar ⛅️ cloud.
Crusty Baguette made with Organic Artisan Flour - for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Classic never goes out of style! And with Bob McClendon’s tomatoes 🍅- nothing makes this Greek girl from Ohio happier 😍
Organic fresh Strawberry Pies 🥧 - beautiful simplicity ... because the best things in life are sweet and simple!!! 💕
In a rare exception to our regular schedule, we will be CLOSED TODAY to deal with some logistical challenges and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience!

It’s official, we are Jamming!! Organic Meyer Lemon 🍋 - so yummy! Personally, I (the Greek girl) ❤️ this with toast and feta cheese. Or if you’re a francophone 🇫🇷 you might prefer goat cheese but with toast or even yogurt it will make your taste buds happy 😊!
Croissants 🥐 Danish, Cinnamon Rolls - baking madness!! We have lots of extras for you today for your Thanksgiving breakfasts! Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🍽
Saint Honore - named for the patron saint of pastries! No wonder because it lives up to it’s name - it’s a base of puff pastry with piped pate a choux (or cream puff) stuffed with rum pastry cream and little cream puffs filled with more rum pastry cream dipped in caramel and finally finished with a vanilla rum chantilly cream. I’m in heaven 😍 on special today and tomorrow!
