It's essentially Vietnamese coffee topped with a banana flavored foam and toffee crisps. It comes standard with whole milk but you can do almond or oat for $1 more. I was worried it would be too sweet but it really wasn't bad! More of the sweetness is from the banana foam and the flavor was soooo good. It was a natural banana flavor. The toffee crisps added a nice crunch. ### linalovesnomz — 5.0/5 · Dec 24, 2025 So cute love the vibes and they’ve expanded omg ### apfoodventures — 5.0/5 · Oct 1, 2025 San Diego’s newest coffee shop. ESSNL coffee is so good, the matcha is high quality, well flavored and the banana cream foam on top is the best I’ve had! They even sprinkle toffee pieces on top making it even better! The Vietnamese iced coffees are equally as good as well. ### foodventurewliz — 5.0/5 · Oct 14, 2025 Caffeine heaven! ### linalovesnomz — 5.0/5 · Sep 15, 2025 They had so many cool drinks. Very unique I got a Matcha,hojicha, and Biscoff cookie coffee. Everything was great. The interior is really cute, but what stands out as a Customer Service. ### brendap___ — 4.3/5 · Oct 12, 2025 Banana cream coffee was sooo good. Didn’t care for the treat on the egg cream one. Friendly staff. Parking can be tight though.
