1. Espresso
Espresso is the go-to place for coffee lovers. As the name suggests, this coffee bar is recognized as one of the best places to sip a cup of coffee.
Ever since the brand started its operation in 2005, the elusive taste and originality of their coffee have remained their expertise. It has made the move from a small coffee bar at Zamzama to many well-designed and aesthetically done cafes in elite areas of Karachi.
From hot coffee to cold mocha and from expresso shots to frothy cappuccino, Espresso brews every sort of coffee, but a cup of Americano can awaken your spirits and entertain your coffee cravings like no other. Espresso is one homegrown brand that is one of the most favorite choices for a frothy cup of coffee.
