Espresso-2-Go! is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by new Yakuza leader Asuka Kasen from a Panlantic Construction Company construction site in Fort Staunton, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Mission[]
Miguel has informed Asuka, who's torturing him, about espresso stalls around Liberty City. The 'Espresso-2-Go' stalls in question are being used by the Colombian Cartel as fronts to sell SPANK. Claude must destroy every espresso stall within 8 minutes, before the Colombians warn their pushers.
Two of the stalls are in Portland; one in Saint Mark's opposite Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club; and the other one located opposite of the entrance to the Portland Harbor. Five of the stalls are located on Staunton Island. The Staunton stalls are located at Belleville Park, east of the car-park in Newport, in front of the church in Bedford Point, near a statue in Torrington, and behind the church just west of Love Media building. The final two stalls are located in Shoreside Vale. One is to the west of Shoreside Lift Bridge at Francis International Airport and the other one outside the hospital at Pike Creek.

Trivia[]
- After the destruction of the first stall in Shoreside Vale, a Cartel Cruiser will start ramming the player's car in an effort to stop Claude. The men inside will carry Uzis.
- To make this mission easier, the developers changed the Pump Action Shotguns used by the Mafia into Uzis, which makes it easier to destroy the Saint Mark's stall. In addition, gangs that are usually hostile towards Claude will instead attack the Cartel members in the coffee stalls, putting less stress on the player when smashing the stalls in Saint Mark's and Newport. Non hostile gangs such as the Yakuza will also attack the Cartel member in the coffee stall in Torrington.
- The same change has appeared in the mission Big'n'Veiny, if the player starts the mission after having completed Sayonara Salvatore.
- The Cartel members inside the Espresso-2-Go stalls usually wield Uzis, but some will be armed with shotguns.
- According to Asuka's dialogue, the Cartel's front was initially called the Kappa Coffee House.
- The Espresso-2-Go logo depicts a steaming cup of espresso; 'Go' is stylised as '
GO' to form a coffee cup shape, and the2portrays the steam above it.
