Just The Essentials LLC and Essential Espresso (JTE's)

It would have been a 5 star based on selection and options....
That being said ... the two workers.... I've seen skeletons and dead people with more of a personality.
I just dumped over $500.00 into your establishment and their social skills was that of ... thanks... now get out.
I'll go back because I'm not s
ensitive... but those that are looking for good customer service... just be prepared.

Support this local business, here's why. They have almost everything.

The name says it all. We were visiting from out of town and needed to stock up on some things.

We found this place just on the north side of town in a brand new building.

They even have a little coffee bar.... Doesn't matter... Here's what does....

1. The store is SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, NEAT and well organized.

2. The staff seems expertly schooled in bourbon and fine spirits. Short example. I asked for a specific bottle of my wife's favorite cordial. They were out of it. But, they turned us on to something that was "close" and rumored to be just as good or even better (and a few bucks cheaper, too). Turns out, they know what they are talking about. We loved the stand in bottle! So, thanks for that!

3. There's an ATM

4. They had glassware I needed

5. Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and you can tell they appreciate your business.

6. Always shop small business when you can. It helps support their efforts to contribute to a better community.

7. These guys earned my repeat business; they will earn yours, too.

Great selection of beverages. However the two times I’ve gone in there, I feel out of place. Zero customer service. Not asked if I can be helped and feel as if I’m a bother that a customer is there interrupting what he is doing. Maybe I’ll take the drive to Bay City to go to ideal. Same selection, small business and they make you feel like family.

Great place with a great selection. Travis the owner was a very nice gentleman to chat with. Had a latte with oat milk and it was delicious

Massive selection of beer, smaller but wide variety of wine and other spirits. Plus they have a little bar inside with on draft beer. Great spot that seems overlooked, but absolutely worth visiting.

Pricier then other locations but I did not feel like dealing with Kroger and wanted my holiday truly pack. Got it and got outta town faster then going into town.

Absolutely love this place when we visit Frankenmuth this is always a planned stop. If they ain't got it you don't need it

Love!!! Can't say enough good things about Travis, the owner, and his store. So much knowledge and passion. His coffee is amazing!!

GREAT PEOPLE! AMAZING selections of Craft Beers , Wines and Liquor. IF you can’t find it in the store the owner will get it brought into the store if it’s available! Their is Great Coffee as well to start your day off right. Frankenmuth needed something like this. If you haven’t checked them out you definitely need to!!

Great place with a great assortment of beers, wines and liquors. Abundant selection of Michigan products. Travis is very friendly and knowledgeable. He went out of his way helping us and giving us a taste test of of of his newer products. Wonderful place in a beautiful town!
