Associated Espresso

★ 3.9 / 5 (181 reviews)

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.

Was Brad Wilson at Associated Espresso a mag?
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! View all feedback.

What My Name dislikes about Associated Espresso:
Not a fan... Went here tonight 05/17/22 and the girl working never makes my mocha sweet enough. I also wasn't a fan of her putting her bare finger on the portafilter basket (the thing that holds the espresso beans) to wipe off excess espresso. To add insult to injury, they weren't taking cards. This location seems to have a lot of issues with how they function. View all feedback.

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.

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.
