Best place to get espresso?

[sparky03]

Bit of a Starbucks nut here (or addict, I guess you could say), and I remember last time I was at WDW a couple years ago I had a devil of a time finding any place to enjoy some good espresso. I remember finally finding a little hut in AK that had some decent iced coffee. Sometimes I like to take a break from all the intense touring and just sit with my coffee for a few minutes and relax or people watch.

Anyone have any recommendations, especially sites in the parks?

I hope you get a good answer as I would like to know too. In general, the WDW coffee is rather terrible, especially if you are used to Starbuck's, like us. I usually end up skipping coffee when I am at the parks and just pop No Doz to ward off the caffeine withdrawal.

If you can get to Shades of Green, they have the Java Cafe which features STARBUCKS coffee and a wide selection of pastries, fruit, and beverages.

The Swan and Dolphin serve Starbucks. In Epcot, the Italian pavilion has a small stand that serves decent espresso.

I got lattes at Royal Anandapur Tea Company in DAK (in Asia on the way to Everest) and at the Boardwalk Bakery. I thought they were pretty good, and I got flavor shots (probably vanilla, can't remember for sure), and I discovered on my last day that I could use a snack credit to get a latte at the Bakery. Not sure if this is the practice everywhere but I'll surely use some of my credits on the lattes at the Bakery next time.

There was a thread devoted to this topic not to long ago here is the link:

Here is my post from that thread:
They do have "Real Espresso" at a couple of locations
Here is a list of those I have found:

Boardwalk Bakery (BWR)
Boulangerie Patisserie (Epcot)
Ghirardelli's (DTD)
Starring Rolls (DHS)
Tangierine Cafe (Epcot)

Note: If anyone else has found espresso at other shops please share I need more places since I refuse to drink the Nescafe.

My husband has about 3 espressos a day and is an expert. He only enjoyed one espresso on our trip there this summer. It was at a coffee stand right at the entrance of Animal Kingdom!
