History

Established in 1987.

The inspiration for «ERC» began in the early 80’s at traditional coffee houses of San Fran, and Berkley areas of California.

The first ERC was opened in 1987 and more sprung up across the country in college towns such as, Urbana, East Lansing, Minneapolis, Madison, Ann Arbor, and Athens.

The ERC house blend was formulated in 1987 and was designed for drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes with its full body, color, and flavor.

Espresso Royale has always been known for its friendly staff, unmatched drink quality and a service style that is casual and welcoming. That friendliness comes from a heartfelt philosophy. Not a company driven philosophy, but more a people driven philosophy.

These days, customers are a part of designing cafes, products and new directions. «We don’t tell customers what they will like and what they will buy» says Marcus, the company’s founder, «they lead us to understand where they are going in life and how we can do things better.»

Meet the Manager

Dustin S.

Manager

Hi, so I’ve been working for ERC since 2003 and still loving it. I fell in love with this place as a customer years before and after a brief stint in the real world I decided to try my luck in the coffee world. I always knew a desk job was not for me and ERC offered me a professional and enjoyable working environment where I was allowed to let loose my ideas in making the East Lansing store my own. At the time I had no idea what I was really getting into, all I knew was now my job to supply the atmosphere and culture that had drawn me here in the first place.

So here I am 6 years later, still serving coffee and I still get excited when I see the perfect cappuccino. So next time your in, feel free to stop and tell me what you think of my store. I’m always open to a fresh look and new ideas. If you don’t see me behind the counter, I’m probably enjoying a coffee and conversation on the front patio, so come say Hi. Hopefully you’ll love it as much as I do.
