Mocha Express

A couple of time I have come here for a strong Americano. I have gotten the drink that I wanted only once. The other times were weak coffee that tasted if they were made with spent beans strained through a dirty sock.
Two sips and I poured it out. Twice. And I can stand truck stop coffee out of a foam cup. Stay away from this horrors how of a coffee shop!

Every time I give this place another chance, I’m let down. I’ve been here about 5 times, all in the morning on my way to work. Each time I have experienced extremely slow service and very weak tasting coffee drinks. Their prices are great but in this case you get what you pay for. The people are friendly which I appreciate as well, but they need to kick it up a notch on their speed and quality.

Mocha Express is the cheapest best quality coffee I have ever had, they have a variety of different milks for people who are lactose Intolerant, they also have great selection of pastries and different goodies.

This is a great coffee shop for… Smoothies! They use real fruit not powders and try taste fresh. Stay away from the mochas they tend to be too sweet. The frozen hot chocolate taste just as it claims. . O soo good! I like to get this blended yogurt lemonade with mint. It’s very refreshing and delicious!
I love to support the locals. there are 3 locations total!

Great drive thru coffee shed.
Not being local to Portland, I don’t know what to call these… kiosks…so I am just going to commit to calling them sheds. Anyhow, they serve a good, quick, cheap Americano ($ 2.00) that always starts my day off right. Plus, they open super early (5:30 am) which also meets my early morning commute.
Service is always quick and friendly.

Apparently these trailers are multiplying like rabbits and are appearing every where. I hope this is the right address of the one I’m standing at. This particular one is in blockbuster’s parking lot, next to Maddy’s. (Crosses fingers) Let me restate I hope I’m reviewing the one with this address. I get confused easily. So very easily like that time in mexico when the guy told me it was water. It wasn’t water that liar.
The blockbuster is this one
so technically this is the wrong address oppss. oh well couldnt find it on Unilocal.

You could say there is a starbucks inside safeway across the street but this is a local business. And I’m all about the little guy. (No offense intended to midgets, small people, dwarves and hobbits). Looking at the menu it was very similiar to that other place and the pricing was about the same. And did I mention this place opens early. (like 530 AM early.) On top of that this trailer is ready to serve you 7 days a week up to 8 PM.
Last but not least, ask for the card and get your stamp. It like the subway thing, you remember that?! Remember when businesses used to give incentives for returning customers? Ok the other place has the 2PM receipt thing but this is better. Because you get a card, which is good to umm.
It is good to show to your friends, because stuff like that is cool. Trust me on this.
So if you’re driving in the SE area near powell, drive into the blockbuster parking lot and get your coffee on. And I hear that other place conducts weird experiments on monkey’s at OMSI. So if you like monkeys (and I know you do) try this place or dutch bros. Or this place. I’m not being conflicting am I?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR GUYS

Totally off topic there is a blonde gal who works there and she’s is totally cute. A lot more personable than those dudes that work the other place. Unfortunately I did see a ring, (sigh). She is a good saleswoman too, for example she sold me a breakfast sandwich for 2.75 that was made up of sourdough, cheese and an egg. NO MEAT!!! Arggh anyone at any other place and it would’ve been a deal killer. But how could I say no to an angel? How I ask you? How? It just not possible! If I did demons would’ve cracked the surface and the apocalypse would’ve ensued. And I’m not going have that on my conscience!
