Ok, it's been a few hours since my lunch at Espresso, and my wallet is still hurting. Let me explain...
I had read the Yelp reviews for Espresso Etc and decided it would be a good place for a lunch/study sesh. Before I left I had visited their online menu which states "daily soup...$3.50" so imagine my delight when I read their daily soup board exclaiming that the day's soup was French onion! I ordered this along with a single cappuccino (the website says 2.25...I believe it was 3.50 on their table menus). I was completely confused when my bill rang in at half passed 11 dollars! So I asked him how much the soup was and he said 7.50 (or so). Ok fine, it must come with a nice bread and a decent serving.
I only hope I was able to conceal my shock when the boy brought me my small ramekin of soup....with a generous side of air.
The coffee was good - cappuccino's don't come with any pretty foam, but I don't know enough about coffee to care about that (I'm just stating how it is). Also I noticed someone ordered a tuna melt sandwich - aka two pieces of toasted wonder bread with tuna and a mozzarella Kraft single...oh and two thirsty looking baby carrots on the side.
I thought I was over it...but having rehashed the wallet assault from this afternoon I'm still, clearly, very bitter. I would go here again for the good wifi and a coffee (also the people are very nice behind the counter)...but for the food I will be heading back to my Sage Cafe to get some value for my hard earned dollars! Feel free to join me!
