We ordered Alfredo pasta. Four cheese pizza and Nutella shakes.Alfredo was quite amazing the chicken was tendered and juicy and Nutella shakes were amazing too. But disliked the pizza. The bas was quite thin and there were no toppings and cheese except pizza sauce only!

Espresso is a lively restaurant of usually younger hip crowd. Difficult to get a seat in the evenings. Menu has an international flavour. A cheerful & a noisy air. Excellent menu & service. Valet service available.

Foods great but the waiters tend to stare at you while someone eating which is extremely disrespectful.

One of my must go places when I visit Karachi mainly because of its platter and it’s coffee. Although, now the place needs renovation and also the fact that the smoking is allowed inside the cafe is a put off.

Love the ambiance and overall service. Throughly enjoy their hot chocolate! This outlet has limited parking space available as it’s on a busy street so plan accordingly. Valet service is available. However, it’s not wheelchair accessible.

Unfortunately for Espresso, the service and quality of food has really gone downhill in the past few months. The stuffed peppers were so over cooked that you could taste that burnt flavor. The coating was literally falling off - it was a complete mess. Basic pastas took about 35 minutes to be served and were brought out cold. The penne arrabiata still had some flavor, the alfredo literally had no salt. The sauce was so watered down the pasta was literally swimming in a pool if it. The affagato that we ordered came after wed almost finished with the meal and was nothing more than oversweet milkshake. Disappointment.Whats worse is that the glasses for the water had a nasty smell to them - almost like theyd not been washed. Its highly unlikely that i will visit Espresso again - atleast not the Shahbaz branch.

Nice coffee n food. (Snacks n breakfast) cakes n muffins too....Sometimes lot of smokers make no smoking area smokey too... they should use air purification system which reduces cigarettes smoke in air-conditioning

Awesome experience. Good menu for every category, i wanted something diet so ordered grilled chicken which was sizzling and too good, alferado was also good along with coffee. Sidelines can be changed. Ambiance was good. Waiting was for 15 mins at night. They need to increase the space otherwise awesome

Espresso...Three days ago, its 14th of Nov I visited to Espresso & ordered for the lunch .. They serve hot & fresh dishes within 20 minutes ..Lunch include; chicken fajita with rice and its presented by different sauces, creams & salad. Chicken were very soft & juicy & By God this is very yummylicious in taste thats why we order again this dish ..2nd main course; smoked chicken quasedilla or quesadilla I dont know their exact name; but they serve very hot n fresh and its very tempting with full of chicken n somewhat cheese & with sauces ..Also order lemon cheese cake & drinks..Their staff n the manager was too polite and very cooperative ...Ambience, taste, quality & quantity 9/10Prices were as expected little high..Overall nice experience

I had a large cappuccino few days ago. I just went and get to go order. Even I ordered brown sugar separately. They did not have it packed. So, they put it on the small packets. Usually, the place is full. You have to wait to get your place. It’s little small. But I like the ambiance. It also has 1st floor. The cakes are yummy as well. If you want to meet your friends and have a casual conversation, just go there. You might fee irritated when finding parking, but, you can give your car for vallet.

It was pretty good. This place is ideal for 3-4 people in terms of money. Nothing beats the taste of yummy pasta Alfredo! However the formula is the same : the fewer the people the cheaper it gets. Plus they do offer amazing discounts on SILKBANK (upto 20%) and HBL (upto10-15%).

Great place. Small with good ambiance. Really nice coffee. Usually most places make their Americano too strong or too watery. This was just right. Food was good too. Will definitely return

Superb coffee. You can have great breakfast and na d great lunch. espresso has maintained great standard here. Sandwiches and burger are delicious and Turkeys are great in taste. If you really want to have short meeting with clients in calm environment, you.must visit espresso. Not only with client but also with family and friends.

Coffee was good as it should have been. Could have been better. Please dont be brave and order from the todays special menu because theres nothing special about it. Also, it was first time I had a frozen strawberry cheesecake, which was a surprise.

Review №66

The food may be good, but increased prices and decreasing serving size has taken this place from an excellent to an average. I had the chicken fajita wrap. Delicious, but quite small considering the price. Same with the mozzarella sticks. Needs more value for money.

Review №67

Fairly disappointed in how the serving sizes have been reduced since the beginning of 2020. I used to believe Espresso had good value for money but now with the decrease in serving size and the increasing noise volume in the sitting area visiting Espresso is no longer an enjoyable experience.

Overall a good spot, coffee is great, food is good, baked goods are just average though. Customer service experience is not bad but needs improvement, ambiance is a bit too dull for a place thats called espresso, needs a bit more vibrance and awakening.

Love the food esp. the Turkey Club Sandwich. Nothing like that club in the entire city I believe. Great Frappes, one of the most cozy places with cordial staff. Just an all time go to place for comfort food/ hangouts e.t.c.

Review №74

Let me start of by giving the negative view. Parking horrible but they do have a valet parking. Second their seating is horrible. If you get there on a busy day it might be impossible to get seating. The positive the coffee is decent but the dessert is what I came to eat. I had the Mars Cheesecake. I could not say I have had better because this was my first time trying one. The environment is fantastic and relaxing. So at the end my suggestion is valet your car if you are comfortable and enjoy your time. That is my ten cent.

Espresso is good for having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Visit with friends or family and you can have a good time. Smoking and non-smoking areas are separate they serve good food, nice coffee shop ambiance. I like this place and am a regular visiter. Had red snapper fish here was amazing and herb grill fish is also good, its moderate price items, roughly going to cost more than 2k for two people

I gave it 4 stars, but its really more like 3.8. Ground floor is a bit cramped, though they immediately adjusted tables for our group of 6. The shaksuka our friend ordered was good, the nutella shake 4.5; the waffle with icecream 3.5. Margherita pizza was ok, as was the mint lemonade. Latte was good too.Staff & service were prompt and courteous. Id give them 5 stars.Smoke from upstairs wafted down; imo with the knowledge of health harms from smoking, its high time cafés outlawed smoking inside. Smoking should simply not be acceptable in confined spaces.An ok experience but not good enough food to go again.
