    From the L'espresso Cafe website

    I didn't have much time to get the full ambiance of L'espresso, as I simply popped in to get a hot chocolate last night before heading back into the cold for the New Year's Eve countdown and fireworks at Churchill Square. Well, I wasn't the only one -- the line up was long, but at least it was much shorter than the one at Second Cup (I suspect those at Second Cup weren't aware of L'espresso across the street). It's a quaint and colorful Mediterannean cafe just off Churchill Square. There's a small fireplace on one side, with bright colored couches around it, and plenty of small tables throughout the rest of the space. A small flat-screen tv is perched near the ceiling by the windows. I can only vouch for the hot chocolate, but it was yummy -- not too sweet, and you can taste they made it with milk, it's not the watered down stuff. They also sell baked treats, soups and panini sandwiches, and gyros wraps. The hot drinks were most popular last night, as everyone wanted to stay warm. As a result, the wait was a bit long, but considering the queue, the staff worked pretty quickly to give the best service to all the customers.

    Counter at L'Expresso Cafe.

    Came in during the Cariwest festival to find a refreshing drink and to get of of the heat for a bit. This location is prime, located in the Sir Winston Churchill area, between the Art Gallery of Alberta and Citadel Theatre. I was excited to find an icy fruit smoothie that was cherry flavored! Usually there's the typical strawberry, mango, peach and other berry flavors. I was excited to try the cherry. The large smoothie was pretty cheap at $4.95 - priced exactly as shown on the smoothie sign, no extra tax. The flavor was awesome! Not too sweet, bitter or sour. Not too many excessive bits of fruit. Honestly, it was just perfect! After a quick gander at the rest of the cafe's menu I saw the prices were all pretty reasonable, nothing really over $10. They have a debit/credit machine but it's also good to know that they have a ATM in the store as well, a DC Bank one. I'd definitely come here again. The smoothie alone won me over already!

    Good service, very nice & polite. Super great selection of good quality teas. Had a gyro beef which was an awesome alternative to a donair. So good I went back & got the turkey sandwich, fresh & delicious. Best organic coffee I'v had in awhile too.

    Custard-filled Portuguese sugar donuts to die for.
