I love a good spresso' tini.

The espresso martini trend has taken over the world lately, and while I can't figure out why now out of all the years they've been invented, I'm here for it. I'm not only just here for it, I am full-heartedly diving into this culture and drowning in it on purpose like you are.

Transparently, I'm constantly googling "best espresso martini's near me," and I have no shame about it. Then my eye caught something local.

Recently, during one of my Google stalks on espresso, a little spot close to home popped up that you may have seen on Wharf Street in the Old Port in Maine.

I bet you're automatically assuming I'm about to name the Chocolate Bar, but they're not it this time. Though delicious, it's Room For Improvement's turn.

Room For Improvement in downtown Portland was honorably mentioned in EsquireMagazine as one of the Best Espresso Martinis in America. IN AMERICA.

That's not light kids, check this out:

I love how they use Allen's coffee brandy, a true Maine staple in their tini's to keep it as real as possible.

The entire chill vibe of this place represents our city so well, and we love to see it.

What a breath of fresh air to see two dudes just open up a place that runs off dedication to authenticity. Give the people what they want and they'll give it right back to you. It's science.

Anyway, congrats to Room for Improvement for carrying Maine through our espresso craze stage, what a time to be alive.

Here's WGME reporting about it in case you don't believe me.
