Espresso Milano

Beware, they sell expired product. Bottled beverages had a 8 month past "best by 11/1/2021" date in their cooler. I brought it up to the manager and they said it was only a guide and that it was just fine and still tried to charge me full price... pretty sure selling expired product ~240 days past "drink by" date is illegal (sarcasm); yes, it IS ILLEGAL. This used to be my favorite coffee house growing up in Midland, now I'm concerned about food safety. Absolutely disgusting.

Coffee here is the best. Yesterday I got the Mocha and it was really really good, however the almind poppy seed muffin was the WORST I've ever had anywhere! I wish the barista told me that it was not fresh "at all" like literally it was hard as a rock, I thought maybe inside could be softer, but nope, super dryI'm really disappointed for the money I wasted on it😞! The problem is I didn't have time to go back again and ask for another one or a refund!

Update: my favorite coffee house has vindicated themselves, the pic that actually looks like a cappuccino is the best, driest cappucino I have had in longer than I can remember. The foam was dense, mounded beyond the rim of the cup and extended half way down into the cup, heavenly and absolutely perfect. Thank you for restoring my faith. Edit: it is with a heavy heart I update this review. This morning I stopped at Espresso Milano for a dry cappuccino, I've included a picture with this update because what I received barely could be considered a cappuccino and was definitely not dry in any sense of the word. I always ask that they not put a lid on my cappuccino because only an uncultured heathen would do that and ruin the foam, but it wouldn't have mattered this time because the foam was more like milk bubbles that popped away on their own to leave what you see, basically a latte and definitely not what I ordered. Espresso Milano has been my favorite coffee shop since they opened in the late 1990s. No matter if I'm in the mood for a dry cappuccino or a candy bar flavored coffee drink the baristas made it perfect every time, until now...

Best coffee shop I've ever been to. The staff is friendly and helpful. One of the baristas makes homemade reusable coffee sleeves for sale near the register, that I highly recommend! The coffee is strong and delicious and the atmosphere is nice. If you can't make up your mind on your drink choice there's a wheel of indecision that I keep meaning to try..... Anyways this little coffee spot is great! Go try it for yourself

I was promptly greeted as I entered the store. The interior looked welcoming, felt cozy, and had character. The iced mocha was great, and the peanut butter bar I got was superb. Both people working were very friendly. I've worked in coffee shops in the past. Espresso Milano felt like a shop where the people love their work and really want to share that feeling with customers.
