Rico Expresso Coffee Factory

Excuse me, but when did Giant Artichoke take over Ricos? I ordered the fried artichokes, and they tasted different—too greasy and with excess batter. I did some research and found out the name has changed to Giant Artichoke! Be cautious, as the fried artichokes are not the same anymore.

This is the BEST spot to get deep-fried artichokes in the area. Make sure to visit this location and NOT the Giant Artichoke restaurant located at the other end of the building. The deep-fried artichokes are a special treat that we always indulge in whenever we're passing through on our way home, and they never fail to impress in both taste and value. I've tried their sandwiches as well, and they are quite good, but the artichokes are definitely our favorite.

The coffee shop/deli is the perfect spot for delicious artichokes, sandwiches, and frappuccinos!

The staff here is fantastic! The sandwiches are amazing, and their Fried Artichokes are the best you'll find this side of the Mississippi! The coffee is great as well, especially the White Mocha, which is my favorite.

Me: I 'll have a large coffee, please. Oh, we don 't have coffee. What do you mean you don 't have coffee? How do you not have coffee at a coffee shop? I don 't want to make a new pot since it 's so late in the day. It 's 3:00... It 's too late to make coffee. I wasn 't expecting much from this tiny spot off the highway, but the barista was tremendously rude and not at all helpful. Save yourself the headache and just go to the Burger King across the street.
