Associated Espresso
Description
Nestled in a truck-stop parking lot near a Shell station, this tiny coffee stand delivers polished, high-quality espresso drinks — from a standout blended buttercream to a creamy spiced dirty chai and caramel lattes — with fast, friendly service and clean, efficient operation. Regulars praise consistent shots and quick turnaround, especially appreciated by truck drivers and travelers. Occasional inconsistencies, a few hygiene concerns, and intermittent card-payment issues have been reported, and prices can be on the high side, but overall it's a much-loved grab-and-go coffee stop.

There are several coffee stands located throughout the place, and I can only recall one instance when the drink I ordered wasn't up to par. They are definitely our favorite coffee spot, and we absolutely love it! Food rating: 4/5.
All I can say is wow! I had a 20oz blended buttercream, and it was the best blended drink I've ever had. I'm in town from Vegas delivering a load, and I can't wait to come back to this place! I also met the owner's daughter, and she was very polite and friendly. I highly recommend this spot!
I stopped by here while getting gas, and I'm really glad I did. The spiced dirty chai was creamy and served hot without being scalding. The service was friendly, attentive, and pretty quick! I placed my order for a coffee and a bagel, and I received both before my car was finished at the pump. You can either walk up or drive up to this spot. Just a heads up, it's not inside the Shell station, but rather in the parking lot. I definitely recommend stopping by to give this place a try!
This is a cute little coffee house in the corner of the truck stop. I loved the caramel latte! Also, May was a great barista. She recommended her favorite drink so I got a small one just to try! It was amazing. The small drink was iced and was made with white coffee, white chocolate powder, raspberry syrup and milk. I do not know what to call it but it tasted amazing. I did not know white coffee existed before this visit. If you like raspberry flavor you should try that drink! As a truck driver, it is refreshing to get coffee from a little coffee shop instead of the usual truck stop coffe options. If I'm ever around here again,I will be getting coffee from here.
