eXpresso Cafe

It’s such a rare gem, I love it so much. Went there with friends after skating at the canal and absolutely loved it. I took the raspberry trompe-oeil and a cappuccino both chef kiss. The atmosphere is calm and cozy and the servers were kind and engaged in small conversations which I thought was nice. Overall amazing experience definitely will go back!

It was such a beautiful experience!
The ambience was absolutely awesome — cozy, warm, and so inviting. It has that perfect relaxed vibe where you can sit for hours, chat, and just enjoy the moment. The atmosphere feels comfortable yet elegant at the same time.

I tried the mango tromp l’oeil and iced tiramisu, and both were delicious! The mango pastry was fresh, light, and perfectly sweet. The iced tiramisu was creamy, refreshing, and such a unique twist — definitely something I would order again.

Overall, such a lovely café with great desserts and a warm vibe. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy spot in Ottawa! ✨☕💛

I had the most beautiful birthday surprise at this café thanks to my friends 🤍
The staff were incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming.
When they brought the cake, they took photos and videos for us and made the moment feel so special.
The service was amazing, the atmosphere was lovely, and they really helped make my birthday unforgettable.
At the end, they even gave me a homemade chocolate bar as a gift, which was such a sweet touch.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants a cozy place with wonderful service!

A very friendly and welcoming place. The products were fresh and absolutely delicious. The coffee was excellent (real, high quality coffee). The pastries were also fresh, rich, and full of flavor. We highly recommend the almond croissant, the chocolate one, and the mille-feuille: creamy, light, and so tasty. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the staff are truly attentive, professional, and caring. It’s a perfect spot to come with family or to work on a laptop. There are very few places of this quality in Ottawa. Highly recommended. I will definitely come back.

My new place to go and spend some me time. Can’t get enough of this place. I can spend hours sipping on cappuccino and enjoying a treat. I’ve had my favorite mille-feuille and it was delicious 😋. I also had the pistachio croissant and the portion is like a meal. Excellent music🎵🎶 ❤️ Highly recommend this place.
