A little gem of a shop! Excellently pulled espresso, a perfect croissant and amazing gelato flavors. Loved the pint of blueberry goat cheese I took home with me.Thanks to the staff for an incredibly pleasant sojourn on a sunny Escondido afternoon!!

Ive been coming to this location once in a while ever since it was Blue Mug Coffee & Tea (2002). Among locals, its a very popular place, with great memories of making new friends, having casual business meetings, going for coffee after downtown events, catching up on the latest community chat or just relaxing with the newspaper and/or a loved one on the weekend. With its wide-open entrance, its fun watching the world go by on the sidewalk or side street. Years ago, I used to grab coffee there on the way to work. More recently, I’ve had lunch a few times. On my first occasion back in years, I had a little time to relax on the tree-shaded patio before my tomato bisque and mediterranean salad arrived. Slowing down really made me savor the food. Thats so important for being able to experience the individual aspects of a meal and what went into the preparation. The texture and subtle herbal flavors of the soup were divine. The artisanal bread was crunchy and delicious. The salad dressing was so fresh and tangy. When I expressed my appreciation, my server told me the details of how they made the meal. I was so impressed. She was clearly someone who loves food, ingredients and the work. Thats so important for any establishment. It shows in the final product. The staff were all very hard at work. For patrons, the nice aspect of slowing down is getting to chat with each other on the patio. So, the name of this place may have changed but the vibe remains. Continuity is comforting. The gelato is fabulous. So is their Cali Caprese. Shoppers might consider this place for quality gifts, e.g. wine, jewelry and goats milk lotion. It’s great to stroll around town afterwards to check out the murals, stores, farmers’ market, library, etc.

Esco Gelato has been a favorite of mine since i was a child. I absolutely love the gelato flavors, and being able to also grab a panini, affogato, coffee, or tea is so great!

I got the passion fruit gelato, and it was delicious. The atmosphere was cute and cozy with little trinkets you could buy as well. My only problem was that they didnt clean the scoop, not just in between each flavor, but in between each customer. My dad got a chunk of the flavor the person in front of us got, and I got a chunk of the flavor my dad got in my scoop. It concerned me not just for sanitary reasons, but it could be dangerous for those who have allergies.

Quaint gelato shop right near downtown Escondido. Very well decorated with seating inside and out, including a fire pit outside for those chilly winter nights...so dont let the cold weather stop you from getting that gelato! Plenty of flavors to choose from, and I loved the chocolate mint in a traditional sugar cone. Excellent, friendly service too.

My favorite place in town for coffee. I am a coffee drinker and this place has the best coffee in the County. Its cozy and the staff is friendly. The outdoor patio has that Euro vibe as well. Highly recommend! The only downside is that it does get extremely busy in the evenings on weekends so plan accordingly 😉

I love this place. All my favorites in one spot. Quality espresso, fantastic gelato, amazing tomato soup and salads! The best part is the courteous and professional staff. We go often and even on the busiest days everyone goes the extra mile, even the new hires. Consistency is key. The most important element is hygiene - it’s always clean and staff wear gloves! No hairs in my food ever! Kudos!

Came here with family and their iced cream is delicious! Our favorite was the butter pecan, strawberry black currant, and a minty white ice cream but I don’t remember the name
