I've only heard "expresso", never seen it; is it a common spelling in 
coffee shops these days? (I'm not a coffee drinker, so I tend not to 
frequent coffee-oriented establishments.) People in New York take coffee 
extremely seriously, as indicated by the obscene number of "coffee bars", 
so this particular place probably isn't a very good indicator either.
