    No going to lie, I have never been a fan of their regular brewed coffee. But I went here today for lunch and decided to dabble around the drink menu. I ended up ordering their Americano (with a slash of SF hazelnut) and it absolutely rocked my taste buds! It was exactly the kind of midday pick-me-up treat I was looking for.

    Overall this place is pretty kickin', friendly service, awesome lunch food (check out their vegan black bean soup, to die for!), and cozy little indoor atmosphere. It is slowly becoming my favorite little lunch break spot...

    I WAS across the street at Starbucks, I am a regular customer there, but I decided to leave and give the local business across the street a chance. The coffee is way too expensive AND hey charge you a 35 cent "bank fee" and don't even ask you if it is credit or debit. I should not be charged anything for debit because I know that they are NOT. If I would have known what she was doing I would have turned around and left. Then, after 5 minutes of waiting for the girls to get done with their conversation about the weekend so I could get my cup of coffee and get to work, the mocha I got was half full. When I asked her why she just said must be the foam. Last time I checked a mocha was not half foam. Should have stayed at Starbucks. Next time, I will.

    My friend suggested having coffee at Espresso Expose today. She also wanted something to eat and wasn't the only one disappointed to find that they weren't serving food other than some pastries on the day after Thanksgiving. I saw a couple people stop in and then leave for that very reason. The place was mostly dead, but I guess it's usually packed when school is in session.

    Anyways, we had to wait at the counter for awhile since the baritsa was engaged in cleaning projects and didn't notice us. Once we got her attention though she was super nice. My nonfat caramel latte was excellent and topped with a pretty design in the foam. My friend had a regular coffee and her cranberry muffin looked yummy. I also saw a board that said "any drink and pastry for $5.50." What a deal! Also worth noting -- we were sitting near the door and it wasn't freezing. That's an accomplishment in MN in November. If I lived here I'd def consider coming back to Espresso Expose.

    This is my go-to-place for soup. It's getting to be that time of the year, and soup happens to hit the spot.  Curry corn chowder and some mean chili are only some of the regulars.  A cup is about $5 and comes with a roll or popover.

    Can't comment on the coffeeshop portion because coffee gives me the jitters!  But it is a nice place to eat well and browse the net free....

    While their coffee, espresso, and treats may be slightly more expensive than the Starbucks across the street, they are far more tasty. The cookies are fresh-baked every day, and they have an excellent selection of flavor syrups for lattes and italian sodas. The best part is that their wifi is free, and they don't care if you linger for hours (even until they close at midnight).
