Bistro Espresso

We made a short stop on our way to Lake Alpine. Loved the coffee, tasted Fresh and aromatic.

Recommend the garlic Fries and zucchini fries. Finger-licking good 🤤

Just a perfect place to sit with your friends.
The food is DELICIOUS! Biggest portions ever. Coffee is really good! Workers are the sweetest. The atmosphere is just fabulous✨
100% satisfied 🤩

My friends and I camp every year during the end of summer; this year we went to Calaveras Big Tree State Park (which was amazing btw lol) Anyways, we usually get food together on the way home at a restaurant nearby wherever we camp that year. This year we went to Bistro Espresso (which is 6 minutes driving from Calaveras) and it was one of the best post-camp meal I've had so far. The first thing we noticed was how absolutely adorable the place looked, it has such a warm vibe to it. We were also a pretty big party (11 people) and they accommodated us with no problem. We were hoping for breakfast, but arrived during lunch hours which wasn't a disappointment at all bc the food was awesome regardless. All of our food came pretty quickly especially for how many people we had, and everything tasted so good. We all ordered a bunch since we had been camping and it was our first meal of the day, and there wasn't a single bad dish. We all passed around bites of whatever we ordered and it was all good. We could not stop gushing about how tasty everything was, everything even down to the ketchup (which was made in house). The staff was super sweet and even suggested we move around our seating situation to something more comfortable. Grateful that we picked this place on a whim to end our annual camping trip, it was the perfect cherry on top. Thank you for having us Bistro Espresso 😊

Fantastic ambiance for being able to have a conversation. Good coffee, and enjoyable food! For you fry connoisseurs, the fries were perfectly crispy & soft. Will be back next time in area!

Excellent food! Comfortable, casual ambience! The BBQ was great and the salads are, too. We'll make this place a regular spot, and are looking forward to going back for live music on the outdoor stage tomorrow. I've attached a pic of my 8oz blue cheese burger for reference. 😎

Fast and excellent customer service. Absolutely kicking coffee. I loved their smoothies too. They are made of frozen fruit and yogurt (not artificially flavored). Nice vegetarian options for lunch :-)

So far everything I have ordered on the menu has been awesome. Even their breakfast burritos are soo good you want to eat yourself into a food coma. Their coffee is great. I always order their Salted Caramel coffee

In a cold winter morning, when every restaurant is closed, you go to this only open restaurant and it SURPRISEs you. A cozy place with a friendly staff and good food. What else do you want to start your day?

I went down there with my kids for the Harvest Festival🍁🎃 It was great! Despite that it had rained most of the morning. They still had activities for kids. Free pumpkins. Candy. Booths. Great time. Thank you.

The space is comfortable enough—unimpressed by their coffee and service (post 4PM; can’t speak for early morning). They couldn’t seem to give me a black coffee with a shot of espresso and steamed milk no matter how clearly I spelled out what I was asking for. After they ran out of drip they resort to espresso in water.
