One of Chicago's Original Craft Roasters, The Expresso Shoppe has been proudly roasting 100% Specialty Coffee since 1982.
We supply restaurants and cafes around Chicagoland and ship coffee to cafes, offices and homes across the country.
Our signature coffee, Cafe Carioca, is a classic Italian-style espresso coffee, with abundant crema, thick body, delicious flavor and delightful aroma. A treat for the senses.
We're proud to sell and service a wide variety of espresso equipment, machines and grinders for restaurants and cafes of all sizes. We represent many of the world's finest espresso manufacturers, including La Cimbali, La Marzocco, Nuova Simonelli, La Spaziale and many others.
We offer complete Private Label Coffee programs and work with smaller roasteries to expand their capabilities and volume. If you'd like to discuss how we can help with your coffee brand, Contact Us here.
In addition to roasting great espresso coffee, we sell and service a wide variety of espresso and coffee equipment, from countertop espresso for the office to high-volume traditional and superautomatic espresso for cafes and busy airport environments.
We sell and service a tremendous range of equipment - not everyone's needs are the same - and are proud of the excellent relationships we've established with our equipment partners.
We're proud to represent many of the coffee and espresso world's top brands. Quality equipment and direct access to parts and advice help make our customers' businesses run smoothly and produce thousands of great coffees each and every day.

Shipping
Can you ship to a PO Box?
We can, but only for coffee and small items. We ship larger items like coffee machines and grinders via UPS and FedEx - these companies can not deliver to USPS PO Boxes.
Will all of my packages ship using the same shipping method?
Not always. We constantly try to minimize shipping costs and shipping time, so our choice of carrier may vary.
My carrier's tracking Information says my order was delivered, but I didn’t receive it.
This can be stressful, but it's often not a big deal.
First - Confirm we're on the same page. Double-check the tracking number and the shipping address. Look behind the bushes and ask the other people in your home/office/building. A surprising number of deliveries turn up this way.
Next - we live in a confusing world. Sometimes packages are carried by one company and handed off to another for delivery. "Delivered" can mean "Delivered from UPS to USPS and waiting for USPS to deliver". Relax and read your tracking information carefully.
Finally - Contact us. We're here to help. We'll contact the carrier on your behalf and do our best to resolve the situation as quickly and easily as possible.
What if my shipment arrives damaged?
Thank you for contacting us.
We appreciate feedback from our customers and will follow up with you as soon as possible.
