French Express

great prices and great coffee. staff was very friendly and neat atmosphere :) definitely worth trying. beats Starbucks and Dunkin any day of the week. also, on Unilocal it says they’re closed on Sunday’s but they’re actually open we were gunna go but it said they were closed on here but drove by it and it was open. so glad we checked anyways! will be back for sure!

This place is awesome and a real great place to chill, drink some coffee, and support a locally owned business!
Don’t expect the service of a Starbucks, this place is so much better and the cost is much lower! It might be a little slow but it’s friendly, eclectic, and what you would want in a neighborhood coffee house.

Cute place and friendly staff. Went early morning on my way to the airport and there was no wait.
Lots to choose from but I tried their specialty mocha with white chocolate and caramel. It was wonderful. Not too sweet and not a ton of foam — yum!

For about two years now I have been coming to French express… In the last year it has virtually eliminated the run to Starbucks and for good measure. The Armando’s blend is simply one of the better cups coffee you will ever have

Fantastic coffee! Wife and I are down from New Jersey and decided to stop by for a cup. The owner is a great guy and well versed in coffee. Had the Americana, smooth and rich. The décor is so artful and cool.

I love this coffee shop!
The French express mocha is the best. Iced, frozen, or hot. You can get it year round!
Great service no matter what. Drive thru too!!!

I used to work near by, and I would always get my morning start with this place. Sadly my job moved into Charlotte but they still remember me when I come back once in a while to get my drinks while I’m in town over there. They have a really great staff and the décor is really great if you need to study or have a gathering. They really care about their customers and will sure to have you leaving happy with the drinks they make.

Best coffee in town! The staff is so friendly! This is a great alternative to chain places like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. There is no comparison– French Express is much better!

The French Express mocha (with an extra shot of espresso of course) is great! Atmosphere has a rustic feel making it comfortable to sip and relax. Ryan is fantastic and can create unusual drinks if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone. Definitely my go to coffee shop!

I want to like this place. Really, I do. I have occasion to visit Kannapolis a few times a month when I’m visiting family. Even though the parking lot is a little awkward to get in and out of, the location is perfectly situated on my route as an ideal place to kill time if I get to town early.
Every cup of coffee or baked good that I’ve ever had here has been good. The décor is a near perfect mix of computer sized table tops and comfy lounging chairs. I wish I could enjoy it!
HOWEVER, without fail when I go in with the idea that I’m going to get some reading done, or work a bit on my computer while I enjoy my coffee, there is always that one obnoxiously loud person who seems to believe with all his or her heart that getting to over hear them is the absolute highlight of everyone else’s day. There’s the woman who wants to have her phone appointments at full volume, the old guy with an over inflated sense of importance for stories about his adult children, and staff of the local hipster church having a staff meeting. What ever happened to inside voices???
I think I’ve finally learned my lesson and will stop teasing myself with the idea that I’m going to be able to have a satisfying experience here.

I love going to this little coffee shop. The service is super friendly. The coffee tastes great, and there’s even a drive thru window.

Great place and great people. Best coffee & tea shop in Kannapolis.
Edit: THEY ARE NOW OPEN ON SUNDAYS!

I love this little coffee shop. The owner and his mother are incredibly friendly and make great drinks. I recommend ordering a hot white chocolate mocha and add peanut butter syrup– it’s delicious and a combination unique to this shop.
