Silver counters accentuate this decidedly industrial setting for illy's home in Shanghai. Signature cups of espresso and cappuccino offer strong, aromatic sips that provide the most intense of coffee pleasures. A selection of salads, sandwiches, paninis and desserts provide great accompaniments.

Stick to the Coffee
With a bright orange and brown decor, Espressamente recreates a modern, generic, somewhat artificial setting for an Italian coffee shop. Expect great coffee from the signature illy brand--our Espresso All Americana (YY24) gave justice to this high quality Italian coffee. The cappuccino (YY30) was strong and ended with a natural sweet taste, giving us with the most intense of coffee pleasures. The chicken salad (YY25) with balsamic dressing surprised our palate agreeably but the watery chicken took away a bit of the enjoyment. Our hot and spicy ciabatta (YY32) had a pleasant sweet and sour sauce, but unfortunately the processed cheese prevented it from being a truly great panini and the cheese and bacon version (YY30) was overrun by sweet mayonnaise. All combined, our taste buds got a bit of an overdose, killing any desire for dessert. Still, we will definitely be back to enjoy another cappuccino outdoors in the sunshine. --Kim-Tien Huynh
