Since the early 90′s (at least 1995), Texspresso has been serving up their own take on espresso drinks, and they’ve clearly spent more time on the drinks than on the web site or the atmosphere in their Austin location (they have a newer location in Buda I haven’t been to).

The Texspresso Alamocha

They’re located in the North Village Shopping Center in Austin, which is undergoing major renovations.  I hear that renovations are coming to the interior of Texspresso soon as well, but for now it has the acoustics of a gymnasium with 20′ ceilings and nothing to break up the sound.

I hadn’t been to Texspresso in 10 years, and I’ve become much more of a coffee fan since the last visit, so I thought I’d try it again… this time the barista recommended that I try the Texspresso or the Alamocha (extra points for clever use of “Alamo”), and so I did.  They somehow brew the sugar in instead of stirring it in later, and what they serve is rich and creamy.  I went back the next day and had another.
