Vespr - Craft Coffee & Allures Orlando

Order: Cappuccino, Nitro brew, Vanilla Late Price: $3-$5 per drink Pros: Their espresso is absolutely amazing, their syrups are creative and delicious, they have several unique drinks that were awesome, their baristas are super friendly and very knowledgeable, and I loved the artistic atmosphere Cons: Um…….no outside seating? Thoughts: This was definitely the winner amongst coffee shops on our trip to Orlando. It had to be one of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to. As soon as you walked in it “felt” like a coffee shop should; the aroma of freshly ground coffee in the air, plenty of seats (including a couch and some more comfortable chairs), art on the walls, and the general sense that all things would be right in the world now that you have found coffee (ok, so maybe thats just me). Every coffee shop has something unique, and Vespr was no different, inside they have this huge chalkboard on the wall that anyone can just sketch on. It created a really cool atmosphere. Now while all of that is fine on its own, the true test of a coffee shop is (surprise) their coffee…and holy shit was this coffee on point. I am blessed to live incredibly close to some of the best coffee on this planet and I was still highly impressed. Their espresso was strong without being bitter and the cappuccino (my go-to drink) was one of the best I have ever had the delight of drinking. They also had a drink they called a nitro and holy crap was it awesome. They pulled their coffee through a nitro tap to give it a smooth almost silky consistency. I’ve never heard of anything like this but dear lord was it awesome. To top all of this off, the staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, I spent a good 10 minutes just talking to the barista on duty about their coffee beans, how they pull their espresso, what drinks were best and other coffee shops in town. Sometimes you go to a coffee shop to get coffee, at Vespr you go to find your third place; that familiar place that isn’t home or work, but feels warm, happy, and makes you want to stay and hang out with friends and family. Unfortunately I live a long way from Vespr but I can guarantee I’ll be back is it is easily one of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to.

Probably the best true coffee shop in Otown. Worth the drive and a little adventurous attitude. I wanted to try the food, limited but excellent, and something different for coffee. I asked for something bubbly and was suggested a coke coffee. Cold and bubbly. Quite delicious. I will be back and advertising for them. Good job folks ��
