A new coffee shop on Copper Avenue near Maple Avenue is giving northeast Fresno residents a reason to linger over espresso, matcha, and crepes made right at the counter. Supri Coffee opened for business last summer at 1916 East Copper Avenue, and its owner says the name itself was chosen for a reason: it means joy.
Owner Nishi Sangam moved to Fresno from Portland, Oregon, and set out to bring good-quality coffee to the Central Valley, according to YourCentralValley.com. Sangam has said she keeps her recipes simple, leaning on basic, fresh ingredients instead of preservatives. “I just want to use all grandma recipes, like no preservatives, no nothing. Just go with basic ingredients and fresh ingredients,” she said.
Banana Pudding Takes Over the Drink Menu
Classic coffee drinks anchor the menu, with espresso, mocha, and signature lattes all on offer. But the standout seems to be the Crème de Banana Latte, a banana-caramel drink topped with house-made banana pudding. The Iced Banana Pudding Matcha gets the same pudding topping, and both that drink and the latte arrive with vanilla wafers and a buttery cookie crumble.
Supri's own site, which lists its address as 1916 E Copper Ave #105 in Fresno, notes that customers can order drinks like its mocha either hot or iced, with delivery or pickup available, per Supri Coffee's website.
Toast, Crepes, and All-Day Brunch
For something more substantial, the café offers three signature toast options, and the most popular by far is the Avocado Egg Toast — a slice of golden sourdough piled with smashed avocado, sliced eggs, fresh arugula, and everything seasoning. The shop also serves both sweet and savory crepes, made to order at the counter as soon as a customer places one.
Among the sweet options are a Nutella crepe finished with house-made whipped cream and fresh strawberries, a Nutella Biscoff cookie-butter crepe, and a Dubai chocolate crepe drizzled with pistachio sauce. Sangam said that last one was the shop's most popular crepe at the time of the report. All of it, including the toast and crepes, counts as breakfast and brunch fare that's available on the menu all day — and dessert, Sangam noted, is fair game any time.
Desserts and a Bigger Vision
Beyond the crepes, Supri rounds out its dessert case with a mini house banana pudding layered with vanilla pudding, fresh bananas, vanilla wafers, and buttery cookie crumble, plus a house tiramisu built from espresso-soaked layers, mascarpone cream, and cocoa. Sangam has said she wants Supri to function as a community coffee shop, a place where customers can relax, start conversations, and spend time with family.
A separate 2025 profile from Kings River Life Magazine reported that Supri was founded by Sangam and Gautham Gundrathi, both of whom had worked as software engineers before opening the café, and that the shop serves coffee made with Portland-roasted beans alongside cream tops in flavors like Pistachio Affair, Cloud 9, and Choco Loco. That same report described a menu that shifts with the seasons, citing fall pumpkin cream tops and winter drinks called Nutcracker Noel and Chai Nog Cheer, and noted a Yelp ranking naming Supri the Central Valley's top “Famous Study Spot” — a distinction that hasn't been independently verified.
