Espressit Coffee House

Awesome place to sit down and have coffee and a muffin or something… they offer a small lunch buffet with veg options. The coffee is pretty good but nothing super special, but they are super vegan friendly. The muffins are spectacular!

Esspressit’s coffee and baked goods are great, but that’s not the focus of my review.
Disclaimer: i’m a bone deep meat eater, but their vegetarian-​oriented lunch buffet reflects a level of thought and preparation to be admired. That said, I have seen some meat or non veg items, but everything is clearly labelled.
Today my plate had:
–Wilted spinach, onions and shitake mushrooms.
–turmeric roast cauliflower and tomato.
–lentil stew
–roast pepper, onion and yam.
–brussel sprouts with a couple of other ingredients.
All for $ 7 and all wonderful. I’ll try to post a pic. (Sorry, couldn’t figure out how on Unilocal)
There are 10 or 12 two person tables, but take out is available.
Kudo’s to the owner, Stacey Douglas, for doing more than what’s expected. But you probably won’t see her — as she say’s, she’s «in the back where the magic happens».

I’ve really started to looking forward to when I get to hang out at EspressIt on weekend mornings. I live on the other side of Cuthbert Blvd in Collingswood, and I’m frequently at Grooveground (especially because Grooveground is open later than any other coffee place I’ve found in South Jersey). But EspressIt has become a regular addition to our list of coffee places we’ll spend a few hours now and then.
What we really love doing is getting some coffee and tea and hanging out at the table by the window, watching the people walk by on Haddon Avenue. Their menu is a little larger on the weekends, with brunch-​y things like breakfast bowls or waffles making an appearance (a chalkboard in front of the door announces what special things they have that morning). The other day I had a vegan pumpkin waffle with walnuts and syrup, and it was great. But even their regular food options like muffins, scones, cookies, and stratas are good. Overall, this is a real cozy, solid coffee place that I only wished stayed open a bit later on the weekends.

It’s so nice to have a friendly place to get quality food and drink, and to also have a great selection of Vegan food (very hard to find). The hot lunch bar is always great, and the food looks to be all in-​house made. The people have always been super nice to me. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

There’s lots of potential for this to be a great café but with some attention to detail. My #1 issue here was temperature: cappuccino not hot, strata and burrito barely warm AND despite having central air, not using it in favor of ceiling fans (mind you, it’s August). So there u have it. I’ll resort to saying «extra hot» when I order an espresso drink like one of those annoying customers, but tepid coffee is the worst to me.

Im new to the area and Expressit is just the spot i need for my mornings. Good coffee, great service and a nice little breakfast hot bar. I absolutely love the KaleKoto smoothie too, good way to start the day.

Charming little coffee shop with a quaint and homey feel. The barista was really nice and our iced coffee drinks were very good. Quiet place with a calming atmosphere; saw a woman doing work on her laptop and thought this would be a great place to clear one’s head and get some work done. Would definitely recommend — hidden little gem!

Comfortable nice atmosphere. Art changes on the wall so the interior is always interesting
Huge selection of beverages and vegan baked goods. They seem to be very popular and delicious
There is an open mic every first Friday of the month held by Barry Hollander and this is a very popular evening. They get an interesting mix of professionals, semi professionals and amateurs along with some dedicated listeners. Get there early or you won’t get a seat

Wow, great find in NJ! I have never been to Haddon Township before but it seemed like a pretty cool town. Espressit is located in a great space, tucked in with some other vintage feel store fronts.
The barista was 100% cool, friendly, and helpful. I can’t remember her name (no fault of hers, my short term memory sucks) but I would recommend that everyone go to see her.
She gave me a nice La Colombe coffee booklet to take with me. These guys are spot on with their ethical commitment, fair trade practices, and dedicate themselves to a couple of great African projects which support health, clean water, food, housing, etc. in many African communities.
I can’t wait to find out more about the coffee which I will certainly buy, #1 because it tastes great #2 because it supports their communal efforts.
Espressit has a fantastic looking baked good /​sandwich type cooler with some amazing looking goodies. The room has a nice, relaxed feel to it. I would recommend everyone stop by! Coffee, service, and food are all A+

I have been meaning to stop in for a while and finally got the chance this morning.
Excellent Iced Vanilla Latte!
HUGE selection of in-​house made baked goods, wraps, burritos, etc. I opted for the fresh-​out-​of-​the-​oven Strata with mushroom, zucchini, red onion and Swiss cheese. Uh, YUM! Huge piece for $ 4.75! Filled me right up and I won’t need lunch!
Friendly service and comfy environment.
Will be back to try some of those other goodies I spied today!

First time in since moving to Collingswood a few months ago and I will be returning. Cozy coffeeshop with friendly employee (only saw one) lots of baked goods and a damn good breakfast burrito. Way to many food options to choose from but that’s never a bad thing.
Level Up is also accepted so don’t have to worry about bringing cash.

Espressit is a really great independent coffee shop. It is located on a nice section of Haddon Ave very near and and across the ave from McMillan’s Bakery.
Expressit has tables outside and inside. The store is very pleasant inside and relaxed. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The coffee is great and much better tasting then Starbucks, etc. They use La Colombe coffee also which is one of my favorites. There are quite a few coffee, tea and Chai options.
They have a great selection of baked goods too and unique flavors of muffins including some vegan options if one is so inclined. Everything we have tried has been great. They also have homemade soups and other items for lunch.
Parking is not bad, there is usually something on Haddon Ave and if not, there is easy parking on a near by side street. Definitely a good choice for coffee when in the area. I have been there several times to get my coffee and muffin fix as of late and Espressit has never disappointed me.

Two years later and still 5 stars… I love coming here for a GOOD cup of coffee on my way to work, and sometimes I’ll grab a homemade muffin or piece of egg strada for breakfast.
The muffins and cookies are freshly baked and always a unique flavor combination. One of my favorites is the chocolate chip avocado muffin… YUM.
Oh! And they take LevelUp which is always a plus. And free Wi-​fi, another plus. Oh, and also, I love the fact that they encourage using sundae spoons to mix your coffee instead of straws or sticks that are just thrown away. A nice touch :)

I’ve only come by at night so parking has been a breeze. I’m not adventurous enough to try a lot of things they offer in the bakery section but the coffee was delicious as was the peanut butter cookie. The staff has always been very friendly and its a nice place to relax with friends or go for a meeting.

Good coffee.
I usually don’t eat café food so I can’t tell you if it’s any good.
Difficult parking.

Great vibe, good baristas, and sufficient tea (I’m always drinking tea, and rarely coffee – I think tea is hard to screw up than coffee, so my experience at coffeeshops tends to be similar). It wasn’t crowded, but it stayed busy. My bagel was good, but I wish I didn’t have to spread the cream cheese (I often wish that – what am I paying for, anyway?). I like that it uses LevelUp, too.

I love how cozy and inviting it is inside of Espressit. I wondered in randomly and ordered a regular cup of joe and a homemade scone. They both were fresh and I was happy with my snack. The seating is limited but my friend and I grabbed a table with no problem. I’d come back!
June 2014 update– veggie burrito was pretty decent with an iced green tea, but also a little pricey for $ 9.50.

Not bad for healthy food
Espressit is a quintessential coffee shop, targeting the quintessential coffee shop goer. It must be understood that I am far from the later, but I found myself here anyway, due to the proximity of Espressit to my business partner’s home. We needed a quick meeting, and this was his suggestion for a non-​office tet-​a-​tet.
I crossed the bridge, and found the tiny shoppe with no problem. I walked in and had to take pause… I saw the word ‘Vegan’ plastered on the board, so I started getting nervous. Personally I agree with the great Horace Rumpole, who said ‘There is no pleasure worth forgoing to avoid another year at the shady rest.’ If I saw on the menu, «plate of bacon, and a liter of beer», I would be the first to order it. So one can now understand my trepidation. But I digress… back to the review.
Let’s start with the coffee, since it is a coffee shoppe. Espressit has done everyone the courtsey of serving La Colombe, which for my money is the best overall coffee in the area. Having a good fastball can be the crux of the issue in many instances… so kudos on that choice. I was also in need of fortification, so I reluctantly ordered a bite. I wound up going with a piece of a quasi-​quiche arrangement that was not horrible. Usually vegan/​vegetarian dishes make me want to ‘vomit in terror’, to quote Bourdain, but this was firmly in the edible category. I wouldn’t rush back to have some more, nor would I consult one of my favourite chefs on how to prepare this dish, but it served it’s purpose in alleviating hunger… so no points off.
I was able to give Espressit three stars despite the local «art», and commitment to ostracizing carnivores, because they serve damn good coffee at a reasonable price. And since that where I think it starts and ends (for a coffee shoppe), I’ve demoted the other sins from cardinal to venial. Have a go, if you’re in the area.

I’ve been coming to the Cherry Hill area for long time now, seeing my godfather lives in the area. I have seen this place before, but never had the opportunity to stop in until now. This was perfect timing, I had just finished doing some work at my godfather’s and I needed to get a nonalcoholic coffee /​espresso. My godfather doesn’t believe in sugar for espresso, he is more into the Sambuca, and if he is making it, its like a double shot of Sambuca to a 3 oz espresso. Two of theses cups with the wine we have been drinking with dinner I needed something regular you might say.
Now mind you I love coffee, coffee shops, especially unique establishments that shows you that there is just more than a hot or cold cup of goodness. I found out that every month they show displays of different artist with their art work they put on display from paintings to sculptures.
This place has a great atmosphere, great coffee smell as you walk in makes you want to get a cup the minute you walk past the door. If the smell doesn’t get to you, then the desserts they have displayed will.
Friendly customer service, Brendan is the man to see when you walk in. Apparently the hours are not correct that Unilocal has posted because I had walked in when they were closing. Even while they were closing he asked what I wanted, then proceeded to hook me up with a double espresso macchiato. Not even a sigh or that disgruntled look as in wtf, why are you coming in now! That is great customer service that makes you want to come back as repeat customer… even send more potential customers there way.
Go in, enjoy a great cup of whatever you enjoy, talk with the staff, find out what local artist will be there next. I know I will be back again, plus the place is clean and bright.
Side note*** They close at 8 pm

This small local coffee shop on Haddon Ave. is easy to miss. Parking can be difficult, but if you are going first thing in the morning, there should be plenty. The shop reminds me of someone’s house, casual as opposed to the institutional look of a D&D or the contemporary look of Starbucks. The food appears to be homemade and hand-​labeled in the brightly lit case. They have events in the evening, like open mic night, and also sell jewelry at the back of the shop.
I popped in for a skim milk latte with sugar-​free syrup. The person who waited on me was pleasant and VERY laid back, almost to the point that I thought I may have woken him up (which to me is unusual for a coffee shop where the staff is so tweaked up on caffeine that their hands shake). The whole process took about 10 minutes and cost $ 3.75 with tax. Good, but nothing earth-​shattering.

I’m very glad I read the reviews up here on Unilocal about this great little shop. Espresso is excellent, so good that I decided to hang out for a cup of coffee on top of it, and you can see the size of that cup!
Food selections look great, I’ll be back to try them out.
