Our Story

Founded in 2018 by Sharon Koger, Esso Coffeehouse & Roastery began with a simple belief: that great coffee should be honest, accessible, and rooted in community. What started as a passion for the perfect cup has grown into a Phoenix gathering place where neighbors become regulars and regulars become family.

We’re proud to roast our beans locally, in small batches, so every cup reflects the care and craft that goes into it. From sourcing to roasting to the final pour, we obsess over the details—because we believe you can taste the difference.

At Esso, we believe coffee is more than a drink—it’s a daily ritual, a reason to slow down, and an invitation to connect. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso, settling in to work, or meeting a friend, there’s a seat for you here.

From the friendly baristas behind the counter to the makers and artists we showcase on our walls, Esso is a celebration of the people and creativity that make our city special.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the culture.
