The Espresso Lounge

This is a very nice local coffee shop. The baristas in the early morning are nice, cheerful and friendly and the overall atmosphere and food is good. The only thing that keeps me from giving it five stars is the number of smokers who congregate in the chairs on the sidewalk outside which makes getting in round about to avoid the smoke.

I really like this coffee shop in Fallbrook! I love the Honey vanilla latte, cold and hot!
The staff is always very friendly!

So much better than Starbucks! Of course, I don’t drink coffee, but my husband does and I drink tea & hot chocolate. Prices are your average coffee house prices, but everything is good and service is great. Plus, it is a «mom & pop» and I love supporting local companies.

Great coffee choices, living room ambience, friendly staff, smoothie bar in adjoining room. Now if we could get them to open later in eve hours?

Love this place. It’s really nice to have a small town coffee shop like this, in lieu of Starbucks. I really enjoy coming here and their coffee is delicious and the service is always great.

Passing through town and this was a really nice café. Really friendly staff. Coco Vanilla smells great and tastes even better. Couch is not as comfortable as it looks, doesn’t live up to «lounge» around.

Very friendly staff and they leave you alone while your in the shop enjoying a drink or coffee,

The coffee here just tastes better! It my new go to place for my morning latte. I with the weekend hours were a little different. It’s a decent spot to chill, read, meet people, converse so I do wish they’d stay open longer. It’s very welcoming and the staff is always friendly. Drinks are made with a quickness as well.

So I do like this place but I really don’t like yours hours and being kicked out by the sound of the vacuum yet again with at least 10 people sitting will be the reason you loose me to the new Starbucks… its summer, at least have summer hours… super sunny outside…

I will take just about any coffee shop over Starbucks and I love trying a privately owed mom and pop location. I was excited to give The Espresso Lounge a try. I stopped into The Espresso Lounge and my first impression was a positive one. It was welcoming and had a great coffee shop atmosphere. To drink I went with a blended drink as it was a hot day and was very happy with it. I really like their camel. Success.
I was, however, saddened to look around more closely and see the place was a bit of a mess. There was trash, napkins, straws, paper, dust and just uncleanliness all over the floor. I might give them some grace if it was super busy; however, that wasn’t the case. It was a case of laziness and pour management in my humble opinion. If they keep the place clean I think they will have a great thing going (on a side note, the connect juice bar store seemed very clean).

Coffee here is amazing! I highly recommend getting their iced white mochas! The staff here are friendly and welcoming!

I love the espresso lounge, I have been a long time customer. The coffee is delicious, The staff is always friendly. Good prices. Much better than Starbucks!

Excellent coffees and light fare. Last night they held the first Comedy Night at the Lounge. It was fantastic, although a little crowded. The show will be at 127 West Elder Street Social House on May 9^th.
Suggest you get your reservation in early, as this one was sold out. The show started off slow, but built to a fantastic finally featuring Soltan…

Legit coffee! Don’t understand the negative reviews. Better than 90% of the coffee shops in Los Angeles. On par with some of the best ones in Seattle! Employees were polite and cheerful!

Been here a few times and always had a great experience, BUT there’s nothing like having an employee avoid eye contact with you and lock the door as you’re about to grab it at 2:00.

the décor is very cool and the staff is pretty friendly, except I over heard one employee say she doesn’t even like coffee. Why would a local coffee shop employee a woman who knows absolutely nothing about coffee? my first visit I tried their bold roast only to be served what tasted like folgers or yuban. very unpleasant. I decided to go with 10 shots of espresso wich tasted like concentrated folgers or yuban. disgusting. that’s 7.50 I’ll never get back. it being less than a block from my house I had to go back for a quick morning cup of folgers and yep still pretty terrible. I really hope the owner of this place can get his coffees as on point as his Italian food at trupianos. I feel I could ask the women there questions about styles of roasts and grinds and they would look at me as if I was an alien.

I haven’t been here for months because of my handful of visits were not a pleasant visit due to the unfriendly customer service at the register. This left me not enjoying my visits or my drinks.
When my husband informed me it had gone under new ownership, which is a part of the Trupiano Restaurant Group Family, I thought I would give it a try since we are fans of Trupiano, italian restaurant in town.
Like the other Unilocaler mentioned there is plenty of seating and the place is decorated nicely and has that cozy feel. They still have the few seats outdoors. It is only a few, and when I do pass by, I usually see people enjoying a cup of joe with their four legged friend. I love pets, but if your allergic keep that in mind. Also, this is located on a main, busy street so if your looking for some peace and fresh air you won’t get that here. But, do go indoors and enjoy your joe, it’s a very nice place, plus free Wi-​fi! You will need to ask for the password.
I’m very happy to say, the customer service at the register is quite nice, finally! think this will keep me as a repeat customer, I could add another local café place to my list!

When I walked in from the cold, I wasn’t expecting this great warm and cozy gem. The girls behind the counter were friendly and very sweet. I ordered Chai Latte, so did my husband and a poppy lemon muffin. I’m going to bookmark this place for future visits.

Excellent coffee, service and such a cozy place to come and meet friends. They make you feel at home! Such a great place for Fallbrook!

This used to be Café Primo and is now under new ownership.
Place is a cute, well kept, modern full-​service coffee shop!
Staff is super friendly. Stephanie and Suzie were very informative and accommodating.
I love that they have almond milk, and for those who prefer soy, they have that as well.
I got my usual coffee with honey and almond milk, just the way I make it at home and just the way Starbucks can’t!
Place is big with tons of seating. Prices are slightly lower than Starbucks.
Friendly, Clean, Lots of Seating and tons of options. I reccommend this place.
