L'Espresso Organic Cafe

Not many gluten free options. I Had the Matcha Latte with a gluten free biscotti. The latte was as good as anywhere else and the only gluten free stuff they had was bread for a sandwich, a breakfast roll and the biscotti. Also I asked for my latte in a mug to stay and he gave it in a paper cup, so I had to ask twice but he fixed it quickly no problem; very friendly. They have a long counter facing the window designed for laptops and students but it seems like they gave up and lined it with plants, because I had to move a plant to make space for my laptop 💻, I like plants but maybe some hanging ones or have some bigger ones on the ground. There was also cold air blowing up from the vents below, but it might have just been where I was sitting. 🚗 All paid parking. Why business don't petition the city to have free parking is beyond me, they lose untold number of customers who don't want to deal with the parking...it's a problem when my parking costs more than my lattee. And Ide rather than money went to the business, not the city. 💲 Prices were reasonable for that part of the city with my latte and biscotti coming to about $9. But when you add in the parking cost, it comes out to about the same as the more expensive places.

Had a wonderful lunch here. Casual atmosphere, friendly staff and great food! Some of the best gluten-free bread we've had too. (And when they found out my mother's 90th birthday was coming up they brought out a plate of baklava which was a very thoughtful touch). Just along the eastern edge of Churchill Square.
