Espressions Coffee Community

Espressions Coffee Community Hello! Together in co-ownership, best friends Lisa & Maile own Espressions: Coffee & Community. It's cozy and warm. Come on in!

Espressions is a coffee shop and independent bookstore with a journal bar and a craft "while you're here" bar! Lisa and Maile are excited to bring you Espressions: Coffee & Community LLC. Our mission: We exist to build a community that people help create. A place where every person, near or just passing through, is welcomed as they are and given room to belong. However you gather: over coffee, a craft table, game night, or a chapter of a book, YOU belong here.

There has been so much laughter, conversations, hugs, and joy seen and heard within these walls since September 8th! As Lisa & Maile check in their Archer And Olive order, the men’s Bible study is wrapping up in the back room, kids have been in for cinnamon rolls before school, and of course, we’ve seen our awesome regulars too! It’s amazing.

It’s Friday. We’re here until 8 pm!
7:30-9:30-ish-ish-ish Farmer Coffee. (It’s on at 7:30 until it’s gone or we serve lunch.)

Happy Wednesday! We have had such an incredible morning. We want to give a shout out to Elizabeth Hunter at Aurora News-Register for the incredible article in the paper this week. Thank you so much!

Thank you everyone for showing us so much love and we hope you have the best day!!

Is 8 am too early for iced coffees with cold foam with some toast? NOPE!!

An iced caramel macchiato and an iced vanilla latte with cold foam! To go with that, lox (smoked salmon) toast and avocado toast. And by toast we mean John’s homemade sourdough bread! 😋

It’s a rainy day which means it’s a great day to cozy up with some coffee or tea and a great book. Lucky for you we have both and so much more.

Soup today is tomato bisque and will be ready to be served at 11 AM until it’s gone.

Have the best day, everyone.

Ps: Karen 🫶🏼, the soup will be gluten-free today because John is helping whip it up from some garden fresh 🍅 tomatoes!

Happy Monday morning!

We’re already baking cinnamon rolls, making breakfast burritos, and serving coffee, which is just the best. 😁

We want to share another new thing that we are doing Monday through Friday around 7:30 in the morning till about 9:30 or 10. We are serving what we are calling “Weekly Farmers Community Coffee.” That’s right, we’re serving Folgers and conversation!! Did you read that right?! You did.

Why? It’s pretty simple. There were two driving factors for this decision. The first, was that our mission is to build community and all are welcome. The second, is that we hear so often that I’m here because someone still likes fancy coffee but I just want a cup of regular coffee. So now you can have it in the morning Monday through Friday right here at Espressions: Coffee and Community. We still have all of our baked goodies, the fancy coffee and WE 🩷 serving the fancy coffee. But we want everyone to be welcome. This was a simple way to do that. Our weekly farmers community coffee is $2 and that includes refills. We’ve brewed a big “church pot”. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

I hope to see you all for coffee. Have the best day.

Please know that while this might be difficult news to hear, and serving the community here has been an honor, this decision was made with the utmost consideration by the The Leadership Center's Board (Nebraska Vocational Agriculture Foundation) to ensure our continued commitment to serving the community in a variety of other ways.

Effective June 4th, 2026 the new shop hours will be 6:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Saturday.

Gift cards will be honored until June 27th.
