One of my favorite small coffee shops to stop by when I'm in town! Great variety of fun coffees. Staff is great, the shop is clean and the decor is welcoming. They also carry a small assortment of breakfast items. read more

Cute place and friendly staff. Went early morning on my way to the airport and there was no wait. Lots to choose from but I tried their specialty mocha with white chocolate and caramel. It was wonderful. Not too sweet and not a ton of foam - yum! read more

Love going there and getting a French express iced latte!! So yummy and love the customer service!

Great coffee and service! Better than Starbucks and you'll be support local businesses.

This place has the BEST COFFEE!!! I don't live in Kannapolis, but I will definitely go out of my way to get coffee here every time I pass by. The coffee was really fresh. The entire cafe was clean and cozy, and the employees were really sweet. I highly recommend trying this place. read more

This is my fav find! Such a pleasant place with the sweetest barista! My treat to myself when I'm in this area.

Try a frozen PBA, not on the menu but delicious. Nice spot with good WiFi that's not Starbucks or another chain.

I love French Express coffee too much. So much so that I have to talk myself out of going everyday. I have never had a problem with anything I've ordered. The staff always have great attitudes and are willing to make you anything. I am so happy this little shop opened, its the perfect breath of fresh air. read more

Wow! The owner is so incredibly nice and welcoming. The coffee was impressing. I'm not ever sure what I got, I told him what I liked and what I normally get at Starbucks (yes, I know, roll your eyes I frequent another chain), and this man really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. I was super impressed and plan on returning! read more

The coffee here is delicious. The staff are great and very friendly. Customer service is top notch. Convenient location. This is the best coffee shop around! read more

Stopped in today for a latte - love the inside and vibe, coffee was ok. I'll always applaud independent coffee houses that make an effort to preserve the coffee house vibe. read more

The coffee here is amazing, I love sweet coffee, and usually get the French Express Mocha (their signature drink) but they always have a recommendation for something just as sweet and yummy when I feel like branching out! The staff is amazing, everyone is super friendly and will recognize you when you come back. The vibe inside is super welcoming, and my only complaint is that they don't have Wi-Fi. Still, it has become a ritual to swing by every weekend after work with my laptop and my hotspot and sit there until closing time with a hot latte. read more

I want to like this place. Really, I do. I have occasion to visit Kannapolis a few times a month when I'm visiting family. Even though the parking lot is a little awkward to get in and out of, the location is perfectly situated on my route as an ideal place to kill time if I get to town early. Every cup of coffee or baked good that I've ever had here has been good. The decor is a near perfect mix of computer sized table tops and comfy lounging chairs. I wish I could enjoy it! HOWEVER, without fail when I go in with the idea that I'm going to get some reading done, or work a bit on my computer while I enjoy my coffee, there is always that one obnoxiously loud person who seems to believe with all his or her heart that getting to over hear them is the absolute highlight of everyone else's day. There's the woman who wants to have her phone appointments at full volume, the old guy with an over inflated sense of importance for stories about his adult children, and staff of the local hipster church having a staff meeting. What ever happened to inside voices...? I think I've finally learned my lesson and will stop teasing myself with the idea that I'm going to be able to have a satisfying experience here. read more

The drinks here are wonderful and the service is amazing. The drive thru is a morning on the run lifesaver!

If you want a hometown coffee shop and good Coffee, Latte's, Frap's, Hot Chocolate with a warm greeting and possibly even remembering your name, visit French Express. Love this place.. read more

For about two years now I have been coming to French express... In the last year it has virtually eliminated the run to Starbucks and for good measure. The Armando's blend is simply one of the better cups coffee you will ever have read more

Every time i swing thru the drive thru window, I am greeted with a smiling face and friendly conversation. A great pick-me-up today after a long day at work! read more

They have Non-dairy options! Awesome atmosphere and nice people, I want to go there more.

I love this coffee shop! The French express mocha is the best. Iced, frozen, or hot. You can get it year round! Great service no matter what. Drive thru too!!! read more

I am so glad #MagnoliaEmporium got the opportunity to design this space! Truly some of the best coffee I have had to date in the country. I also had the benefit white designing the space to be on the receiving line of most of the drinks that were being tested and created. I wish my clients nothing but success! This turned into a real winner! read more

Always friendly service! Try their French Express-white chocolate and caramel deliciousness. You won't regret it! Shop local and enjoy their warm and inviting atmosphere. read more

I used to work near by , and I would always get my morning start with this place . Sadly my job moved into Charlotte but they still remember me when I come back once in a while to get my drinks while I'm in town over there. They have a really great staff and the decor is really great if you need to study or have a gathering. They really care about their customers and will sure to have you leaving happy with the drinks they make. read more

Fantastic coffee! Wife and I are down from New Jersey and decided to stop by for a cup. The owner is a great guy and well versed in coffee. Had the Americana, smooth and rich. The decor is so artful and cool. read more
