I have never been to an espresso bar with such a cool venue inside. It really feels like you’re home when you’re here. Definitely recommend here and the coffee is excellent as well, they make it with pride which makes it apart from the others in Alpine.

Adesso is a lovely place! The coffee is delicious as well as their fresh pastries. The girls are sweet and professional. They know my name and my usual order. During busy times i’ve seen cars wrapped around the building but when it’s my turn to place my order, i get 100% attention and a friendly smile! Such a nice way to start the morning.

I say yes, to a place that makes their own cold brewed coffee which was what I enjoyed at this small drive or walk up coffee establishment located off Interstate eight as you either are entering Alpine or leaving it.
For $ 3.45 I was able to get a 16 oz plastic cup of some fine cold brew. I walked up at the window for my brew given I was planning to eat next door at a taco shop. The cold brew was quite good. It had an initial tanginess, but quickly settled to a smooth robust flavor with the kick in the rear that I needed. It came with a good amount of ice to keep it cold, and the coffee did not loose its flavor.
The young lady running the coffee shack was very nice and quick putting the cold brew together. They make regular coffees, espressos, frappes, and smoothies as well. They usually have assorted pastries but run low towards the end of the day.
This is a great place for a pick me up on the way to work or heading out for a long drive.

I really enjoy this coffee shop. It’s a drive thru that is right off the freeway which is so convenient. The coffee is pretty good. I enjoy most of the drinks more than Starbucks. I drive thru this coffee shop quite often. Love when the owner is there because she is by far the nicest and most helpful barista. Overall a quaint, convenient and good coffee stop.

This place keeps getting better! Love their regular coffee, kona blend, and white mochas (I ask for half the flavor). Got an iced coffee today, and it’s delicious.

This used to be my favorite thing about starting my day. The girls are fast and remember your order. But for some reason, one of them has always been rude to me. When she refused to open the window to help me in 105 degree weather… I waited for 4 – 5 minutes and realized she just is going to ignore me. So I brought it to the owners attention a few weeks later to see if I had ever done anything unacceptable or what? The owner went in and immediately told the two other workers… Now their all rude to me. They literally hate me, and say as little as possible to me when I come thru. They lost well over $ 1,600 a year and $ 400 in tips due to this pack mentality and lack of good leadership. I was coming at least 4 – 5 times a week. No more.

Stop going to your local Starbucks and come here! The mocha frap is my usual and I sometimes splurge on a tasty treat they have available right when you drive up. I love the convenience of the drive up. Its always easy to pull up get my coffee and go. Sweet staff, easy to get to, and they never disappoint.

This place is dank. Best coffee I’ve ever had, I could even say better than Starbucks. Adesso’s definitely needs to move to different locations in SD!

The coffee at this place is really good.-and they have coconut flavor which is my favorite. There is never a long wait. All the girls that work here are very nice and fast. Except one girl, she’s just flat out rude. But as long as you don’t catch her when you go there this place is great!

Cute little coffee shop right off the freeway exit. It has a drive thru and a walk up window. There was a bit of a line but not too bad.
Will definitely stop by again if im in the area. Staff was friendly and coffee was good. I’m happy. :)

Stopped by this place while staying in town a couple days with my fiancé — always on the lookout for a good Americano! This spot did not disappoint. Extra points for the adorable heart sticker aka coffee stopper! Delicious :)

I love the convenience (drive through!) and specialty flavors they have to offer!
Prices are maybe slightly less than Starbucks, but the quality is far better!
I’m so glad Alpine has a great mom n pop option for coffee/​lattes!

Working in an independently owned coffee shop really makes you a coffee snob. That being said, I don’t like other local coffee shops (ie, starbucks) because they just aren’t the same. These beans are fresh, their service is excellent, and they always treat my dog when I drive through too! Could you ask for more? Their white mocha is something to get excited about!

I much prefer to solicit locally owned coffee joints to the large corporate chains. Having moved out to the country recently I discovered this place that just happens to be a quick stop off the freeway on my way to work or into town.
They have a large selection of brews and yummy concoctions that I am still tasting my way thru. I love the fact that I can drive thru and be on my way in a jiffy with a yummy cup o joe to start my day.
The gals that work here are all very friendly and great baristas.

My boyfriend and I JUST discovered this place! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL OUR LIVES? We’ve been sadly going to Starbucks for coffee and been disappointed in Starbucks every time. Thankfully this place is closer and the people are super friendly! Not to mention I don’t even have to get out of the car. I’ve gotten a tall latte and a dirty chai tea latte and I can highly recommend both. Their espresso in greatly roasted and their baristas know what they are doing. If you live in alpine and love coffee then this is the place for you BOOOOO STARBUCKS!

LOVE THEM!!!
They have a drivethru, which is awesome for my Lazy butt. I always get the same thing… Mocha Frappuccino (or whatever they call it). SO DELICIOUS! It tastes like they use real chocolate ice cream to mix with the coffee. Not sure if that is the case but It’s so much better than the other coffee place in town. You know which one I mean. They are on every corner, have an ugly green mermaid as a logo? Those guys’ Mocha Frapp tastes like powdered crap.
Prices are better than the Mermaid folks. And hey, by going to Adesso instead you are supporting a local business instead of a multimillion dollar company who couldn’t care less about you. Let’s keep the money in the pockets of those who live in this town, not some Seattle Super Billionaire. Go to Adesso.

I’m addicted to the chai tea latte here. My husband really enjoys the iced coffee, he said it has nice flavor and can be enjoyed black.

Went there this morning. They ran out of brewed coffee (on ALL their selections) at 7AM, they were in the process of making more. However, I had already been in line for five minutes and instead of someone coming out and telling customers it may be awhile due to needing to make more coffee, they let everyone wait. I had to ask when I got to the front and kept waiting for my coffee.
In the morning, time and convenience are important for people that are going to work. Needless to say I left with no coffee.
How does a coffee shop run out of ALL their selections of brewed coffee at 7AM anyway? You see it getting low, you make more. BEFORE it runs out. May not be giving them another try.
