I dropped in What a Cup and I am glad I did! I saw Expresso lettered on the side of their building and I needed a pick me up. Jay and Nick make you feel welcome and appreciated upon walking into the restaurant. It is wonderful to have a smiling happy person greet you. They are there to make your visit wonderful. I had a caramel macchiato and it was fantastic- great flavor. The layer cake with fudge frosting did not make it long in front of me! It was excellent- moist and tasty. The cheesecake covered in fresh berries was a close contender— something for the next time I stop by. I will be back to have a meal next time. Thank you.
I really love this place! It’s a great local gem with AMAZING coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and art on display! My favorite part? They have Pumpkin Spice ALL YEAR LONG! Who doesn’t love that?! I’m only mad I just found this place and missed out. Not sure if the art is from the owner/employees or if they work with a local artist but regardless the art is beautiful and most is available for purchase. I bought a beautiful piece last time I was in. The prices are average for the area and reasonable; plus you are supporting local business! Parking is free and right next to the building. The inside of this place is HUGE with plenty of options for seating. Service is always quick, friendly, and efficient. When it’s slow, the owner will chat with you and she is always so friendly and you can tell she really takes pride in her beautiful coffee shop. The food is to die for! Every time I go in, I never remember to take a picture of the food because it’s so good that my only thought when it comes out is time to eat. The coffee is amazing quality and so unbelievably delicious. Seriously, don’t waste your money at Starbucks or Dunkin— it will NEVER be as good as this place! They offer a military discount and genuinely care about our military personnel and their families! My wife recently promoted to captain and we happened to visit this shop to celebrate and the owner was just as excited and proud as I was of my spouse. That meant the world to me and to my spouse. I could go on for hours but honestly, just go see for yourself. It will only take one visit to become addicted. Treat yourself to the BEST coffee in the area!
Absolutely amazing! Such friendly service from everyone and they even support local artist! The food was amazing as well as the drinks! They have awesome atmosphere and everything was clean. Absolutely amazing, I can’t wait to come back.
This place was great! Food was amazing and staff was super friendly! We got the BLT and American Sourdough sandwich as well as some delicious hot and ice coffees!
Had lunch here with my mom and some friends on Tuesday and we all enjoyed it. The inside is very pretty and decorated nicely. They have a very nice conversation area when you first walk in with 4 gorgeous green leather chairs around a coffee table. We sat at 3 bistro tables pulled together and I was surprised by how much room there was. The staff were all very nice and friendly. Everyone's food was delicious. I got the turkey club on wheat toast and it was huge. So much turkey! And they were quality ingredients, not just skinny deli meat like some places. My mom ordered the Swan coffee drink even though she doesn't usually drink coffee and she really liked it. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely plan to stop here again soon. Highly recommended. My only issue is that there is no hand rail on the steps leading to the door and with some elderly customers, or even younger customers with balance issues, this could be a safety concern.
Kind of new to the Hopewell area but I always love going to places like this cafe or small business. I'm so glad my sister and I decided to go there. The staff are amazing. The coffee and food, wonderful. I had the Hollywood Croissant and my sister I think was a Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant. Food is wonderful with just the right crispiness to your sandwich. An like I mentioned the staff are amazing. Was even given suggestions on my sandwich after they saw I was disabled and suggested asking to make my sandwich open-face. If you knew me or my health situation then you would understand that things like this don't happen often and for them to notice and be helpful. Tells me everything I need to know about them. Amazing doesn't even cut it. Well worth going if you haven't. I will definitely be going back.
This place genuinely has an amazing vibe!!!! It was my best friend and I’s first time there on 12/20/22. The employee was crazy helpful, very polite and made sure our experience was top notch!!!
This is 100% my new go to coffee shop!!!!
I ordered a “Swan” iced coffee. It’s kind of like a black and white. Truly tasted better than any chain coffee shop. Ingredients used tasted of a higher quality than the “normal” shops around here.
Thank you for a wonderful first time!! I will DEFINITELY be back very soon!!!! Much love!!
I’ve lived in Hopewell for 2 years and never noticed this place. But I went in today and got a coffee for me, a refresher for my mom, and the blue devil sandwich. I brought my roommate with me who literally said he wants to drive back and thank the owner for such a good sandwich. 5 stars all the way!
Went for lunch. Great atmosphere. Neat place. Good menu. Not sure if AC was broken, but it was not running and it was 95F outside. I had Rachel Reuben which was pastrami. Bread was toasted well, but was dry and could have used butter or another oil. Overall, sandwich was good, but was slightly dry, needing more dressing. Potato salad side was good.
