I was pleased to find a place serving real coffee (that is not common in local culture) and providing friendly atmosphere with free Wi-Fi. Music is nice and not disturbing (in any case you can ask to tone the music down). Nice cakes - but do not be much surprised if cheesecakes (they have several modifications) do not taste as... More

Expresso is the best known hang-out spot in Karachi. Started by Kamil, this was a huge hit and other coffee houses that mushroomed after its success couldn't compete and many had to shut down. Their coffee is good but I personally love their food. The breakfast, sandwiches, pizzas and of course, the delicious desserts are really amazing. It is a... More

Great place to hang out with friends and family.....Their breakfast is really good too...the ambience is simply amazing....Chit chat with friends over a hot cup of coffee is recommended.... Do try their Quesedilla....Potato skins and ESPRESSO CLUB SANDWICH....Their deserts are totally recommended!! Espresso is Karachi's Star bucks....only here you'd find much more variety.....

Espresso Shahbaz has better coffee than the zamzama branch. Its premium shot is good, almost as good as Butlers. The pasta are nice. Avoid the pizza. Avoid having coffee at Espresso Zamzama, their single shot is just water ! About the ambiance : it can get very very noisy when you have all the o/a level students coming and bragging... More

Located just on the main Shahbaz commercial road, in DHA, Espresso has grown to be a favorite breakfast/ brunch place for the locals. The breakfast menu, although not very extensive, is very delicious and the coffees are really worth a try. The atmosphere is very very comfortable and cozy. Haven't tried a dinner there, but I'm sure they'll live up... More
