Espression By Lavazza
140 E Walton Pl, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This downtown Chicago spot delivers consistently excellent Lavazza espresso with a smooth, rich profile that clearly resonates with regulars, paired with fresh pastries and light food that actually complement the coffee rather than feel like an afterthought. While experiences vary noticeably—some customers praise genuinely warm, attentive service while others report standoffish interactions—the best visits capture a genuine neighborhood vibe where you can linger over a quality drink or grab something quick without feeling rushed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
