Bistro Espresso, Arnold CA

This place was great when I went home for a visit. My kids and i went both days while we were in town for breakfast and coffee. The girls working were super nice and helpful with the coffee selections and when my adult daughter dropped my latte all over me and my phone they were quick to help us clean up and made me another latte right away. Which i wasn't expecting at all! We will be back on our next visit!

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.

Excellent food & service. We had the blue cheese and BBQ bacon burgers. Nobody talked for quite some time after getting our order.
This was my 4th and our son’s first time. Very solid again. Our son has planned his next meal here.
Thank you enhancing Arnold with your hard work to the outside for everyone to enjoy.
We’ll be back!

Tried this place before with my friend and I am hooked since then. I loved the great vibes and delicious food and beverages. Fantastic work.

Don't use the online app designed through clover. It gives you more headache then anything else. Coffee was the best thing about this place, the food (breakfast) were items you can find at costco.heat and serve. The pancakes were nice and big, and the chicken fried steak was good

Just not great. No "hello" just took our order when it was our turn. No "thank you" for coming in, especially since competition is fierce in any service industry. No "come back and see us again! " And the coffee, less than mediocre for the 40 minute wait.

Great Food! We were in the area and wanted a way to try some local places while staying distant. Everyone was wearing a mask and the patio in the front was open. The sandwiches were a hit at our table!

Delicious coffee but inadequate coronavirus precautions. The counter for ordering is located inside the building, and when I visited a week ago, not one of the staff members I saw wore a mask. Considering the climbing rates of airborne transmission of this virus, often from people who have no symptoms and who might not know they have it, this is a big and unnecessary risk to customers, staff, and all the people that they come in contact with.

Things are a little awkward here due to the COVID stuff. But that hasn't diminished the quality of the food. It's one of the best restaurants in town, and when ever I get a chance to, I have lunch or breakfast at The Bistro. My one and only complaint is that they don't serve dinner. Also, please don't come here until the COVID stuff is over with.

Good food, but employees DO NOT MASK. I've been stopping by Bistro for years, but was disappointed to see them actively disregarding the state mandate to wear a mask and allowing employees to go unmasked. This exposes both employees and customers to unnecessary risk. I will not be going back during the pandemic.it's just too risky.

I call this special restaurant every couple of days since I like the special air that is characterizes this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and experienced. The service is awfully fast. Needless to say, the food they cook is exceptionaly good. I visited more than once and I was always pleased. The pay is decent. I suggest this place to my friends and family.

What a gem! Great little coffee/breakfast place. Drip Coffee was strong with good flavor. They have med roast too for those who prefer it that way. We went for morning coffee run and brough party of 11 back for breakfast. Great selection of breakfast items. (they were smoking tritip for weekend specials - tritip Philly omelet) pan cakes were amazing and I am more of an eggs and stake breakfast guy (they have that too.). Shot story long, 11 of us promptly ordered and found seating easily (they have a couple of large tables). Food was fantastic, no complaints. Portions were generous. Staff was very friendly. It's a smaller place like many in Arnold but they have it laid out efficiently and our meals came quickly in spite of how busy it was. Seemed like a lot of locals frequent the place. Had to throw all the stars at this place. Must try!

Presidents day weekend but service was fast I was surprised food was delicious burger was great. I did the half smoked chicken.very very good. Side of beans were great.

Wonderful new place for Arnold! We have always wanted a coffee shop, and to our suprise, this is that plus so much more! We make it a point to stop in for the kids to get hot chocolate, along with our favorite coffee or beer (depending on the time of day we stop in!)
We finally tried some food (twice) and both the afternoon appetizers and the morning breakfast was WONDERFUL. Great staff, great food, and such a cozy little shop! We will continue to come here every visit we make up!

The food is delicious! Super fast service, good size portions and a great atmosphere! We Had the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy platter. A must try. You can even have beer with breakfast. Will come back next time we visit Arnold's!

Great food, especially breakfast. Breakfast burrito is tasty. Chicken fried steak breakfast plate is comfort food at its finest. Service is great with friendly attitudes all around. Coffee and coffee drinks are good, too. Pleasant surprise in a small town where you never know what you'll get at a local spot. Definitely worth stopping for!
