ESPRESSO dell’Anatra

Needing to get out of the house, we headed for Espresso dell’Anatra  located in Zona Rosa.  After circling the area several times we found Starbucks and Latte’Land but no Espresso dell’Anatra.  We headed for the Chouteau Trafficway location.

Turns out when we asked at the 2nd location, the other location was the  Latte’Land location.  In fact looking at their website again I found it stated that, just didn’t notice it.

Anyway, we walked into the well lit, pleasantly decorated coffee shop and enjoyed the music of KLOVE playing softly.  I enjoy that national radio station and sang along, as did other patrons, to the music. There is the usual list of drinks.  I tried a Dulche de Luche. It was flavorful and topped with a wonderful illustration in the froth.

Our barista was pleasant and asked questions to be sure our drinks would be exactly as we desired. I like that kind of detail.

There is a limited amount of pastry. However, they are closing this location on Thursday and moving a larger facility where much more will be on the menu.

A variety of seating is offered, from low stuffed chairs in one corner, to a sofa in another corner and an array of tables both standard and high top.  Decorations include a number of collages featuring various movie stars and available for purchase.

Free wi-fi is available. Get the security key from the counter.  I had no trouble with the connection.

Their website should soon be updated as they are moving the Chouteau Trafficway location this week and the printable coupon expired January 1.  Be sure to watch for the new store which will allow them to offer a wider selection of pastries. They will also be able to host live bands for evening entertainment.

All in all, I am sure we will be returning. It was a pleasant visit.I ’d like to see the new location and also check out Zona Rosa soon, now that we know where it is.
