I ordered the Mediterranean salmon and did not expect the portion to be as big as it was. The salmon was fresh and perfectly cooked. My sides were orzo and spinach, and I asked for the lemon herb sauce to go on the side. It was very flavorful and I'm going to absolutely order it again. read more

Tried Cafe Express - Town & Country again craving that classic pesto pasta salad with grilled chicken I remembered. The good: Fresh breadsticks (still a win), tasty iced tea, and friendly service. Condiment bar is back. The not-so-good: Salad didn't match the menu, chicken was chewy, portion felt small, and it was overdressed. Also... where did the pickles go at the condiment station?? Was hoping for a comeback visit, but left a bit disappointed. Missing the magic of the old days -- where's Robert Del Grande and that legendary menu when you need it? Sometimes the original really was better. read more

Located in Town and Country this Cafe Express is good place to go for a quick meal with great outside seating. Appreciate that they support military and healthcare workers. Their Caesar salad with grilled chicken is the right mix of vegetables and protein. They have a variety of fresh ice teas which are refreshingly good. They always deliver great customer service and consistent meals. One of our favorite go to places. read more

Honestly love Café Express. The food is always fresh and the vibe is just so cozy and the service is amazing

Awful. Place needs to close down. Bathrooms are filthy. They look like they haven't been cleaned in a few years. Place looks old and dirty. Food is less than mediocre. Don't waste your time or money. Super disappointed. read more

Alicia gave me an excellent service . I high recommend this place , food was excellent

Love having dinner here - it is always fantastic. It doesn't matter if you eat there, or take it home, it is always great. Particularly, the cooking on the salmon and the chicken breast. They are always cooked perfectly! I have never had a salmon or chicken dish that was overcooked. The chicken is amazing - always flavorful, and juicy. Their shrimp is also cooked perfectly - never rubbery chewy. I love their salads, they are always fresh, and crisp. Stop in for dinner soon - you won't regret it!!! read more

hmmm alittle disappointing, we always go and enjoy our food but the other day seemed off. My turkey sand-which seemed like it was literally slapped together with mayo everywhere, my house salad had a drop of dressing and my potato soup was like warm. It wasn't giving satisfying and full at all...i was just pissed about the whole thing and couldn't even eat the salad. My boss didn't enjoy her chicken salad sandwhich either. I don't think we would go back anytime soon. read more

Stopped in for lunch but first visited ladies room. Stomach turned at the condition. Toilet and fixtures are broken and damaged and filthy. Floors are not clean, a nasty toilet brush was in the corner of the bathroom. I took care of my business, washed my hands and proceeded into the restaurant. All with a sick feeling in my stomach. I started to wait in line and just couldn't stay. I walked across the way to another restaurant. read more

Quality goes down, but prices go up. Strange how that happens! I reviewed this place on Google in August 2021 before I was doing Yelp reviews. I gave it 4 stars at that time. Today, I give it 3 stars. To start, the garnish bar went from 11 items to 8. My biggest complaints: they took away the shredded parmesan cheese and the croutons are not as good. I had to go to the counter to ask for the parmesan, but this time is was thick ribbon strips. Salt & pepper was removed from the tables, so one more thing you have to retrieve for yourself. So, you have an order number on a stand to carry to your table, your drink, silverware, salt & pepper, garnish... and no tray. Not a huge deal. I just made several trips, hence the reason I do not tip places like this. I ordered the same salad I had last time. I used to like it, but today is was meh. The pasta was a little hard, the pine nuts were lacking, the lettuce was arugula, which I don't like and the chicken salad had very little flavor. The atmosphere is okay. They have a lot of seating available, including outdoor with umbrellas to shade the tables. Service was friendly and they have good iced tea. That about all I can say for positives. $18.60 for a salad and a drink. read more

Great service and descent wines for the price. Salmon was delicious. Chicken sandwich was good, service was awesome. They were happy to serve their customers. read more

Ordered takeout on Sat afternoon for lunch - the lemon chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli with some garlic bread and the trio with soup, sandwich, and salad for two. Their site does not allow you to order online. At least it didn't when I tried. You either have to use Uber eats or grub hub which tacks on a few extra $$. When I walked in to pick it up place was not very crowded. Looked very clean. Order was ready on shelf marked Uber eats. They are very organized. Guy handed it to me. He was friendly. Food was good. Will def return. Maybe next time I'll just call in my order if I want to save a few dollars. read more

I have never had an experience like I did here. I was with my mom and boyfriend. We sat and waited at least 20-24 minutes for our food. When it came we were given the wrong food. Then the second time, 1 of 3 dishes were right. The third time, 2 out of 3 were right. So my food was wrong and we sent it back. Well it came back wrong again. So then final straw was when it came back wrong again. I finally went to the counter and asked for my food, where no one in the staff responded to me. Finally the young man who delivers your food, said, hey can someone find her food?? Then I saw my sandwich being poked by the cook to see if it was hot yet?!? Seriously?!?!? So I finally told the manager, give me a salad and let's be done here. I then talked to her; where she proceeded to tell me how busy they were with catering and to go orders. Really?!? So you would rather lose paying in store customers then have the to go orders go bad?? Wow. Finally I just said, you really need to focus on the people inside here. The service was so bad, and food was mediocre at best. It's really a shame because this is only the good place in town and country. Won't be back anytime soon. read more

Bad service. Always mistakes on the food in to go orders. they delivered the food without any supervision. The manager doesn't apologize or try to leave the customer happy. I don't recommend this location. read more

Cafe express is my go to salad stop. I ordered online via Yelp app for pick up. Order and check out was super easy. I ordered signature salad and the Black Current tea (unsweetened) Salad mix had lots of fresh greens, yummy pesto pasta, cherry tomatoes, pitted olives and grilled chicken. Everything was fresh and delicious. Must try if you have a hankering for a salad and don't forget to try the black tea!! I highly recommend Cafe Express read more

I do frequent Café Express from time to time and usually go with my go to item; Triple Deli Salad. Its a nice sized salad made from fresh spring mix, and it has tuna salad, chicken salad, and pasta shells which I think is why this salad is called the Triple Deli. They have a separate section where you can add more items to your salad such as garbanzo beans, pickles, crackers, croutons, red dried pepper, olives, garlic etc which kicks the salad up a few notches. My salad turns to be pretty good every time. They have an extensive menu of sandwiches, soups, burgers, and other entrees, all of which sound pretty good for lunch. They have a different version of soda pop. I believe they are the ones made from sugar cane. Also a nice selection of teas that are available. Plenty of seating in the restaurant, indoor and outdoor and parking is available throughout the strip. read more

My kids love this place: chicken Alfredo, combo of soup and salad, and kid's chicken tender meal with fries. You go up to the board and place the order(s) with the cashier, they give you your number, and you choose a table to sit at. The place is spacious, clean, and well organized. The dishes will be above $8.00. Most of the times, the cashiers are friendly and customer oriented. I would give this place FIVE STARS, but I'm taken back by the offstandish attitude of a cashier - one visit - I was the only one in line. There was only one time I came up to the counter, and a Latina cashier saw me, remained standing with her back to me, and she continued her social talk with a colleague. I shouted out, "Is there anyone here?" and she ignored me. It took her a good minute or two to turn around and tell me, "Yes, I am here. What do you want?" I wanted her manager. read more

First timer. They actually have quite a few vegetarian/vegan options. I ordered a California Burger w/ veggie patty and fries. The burger was tasty! I'm not sure if I liked the artichokes in it because it threw off the "California" taste profile. Definitely a casual eatery. Get your own drinks, utensils and condiments. I was at lunch with work colleagues and we waited over 15 minutes and our vibrating thingy still hasn't vibrated. I looked at the front counter and saw our food sitting on the counter just hanging out. The area has many working professionals with only an hour lunch so I didn't like that we had to lookout for our own food. Other than a few peeves, I would definitely be back to try the other options. Beware: parking sucks! Especially around lunchtime. read more

It's been years since we tried Cafe Express. We gave it a try but were not impressed. I had the 1/2 chicken with vegetable and a salad. The portions seemed much smaller and I was still hungry when we left. Sorry. It did not make the meal plan. read more

I paid $18 for a tiny salad with 4 small strips of chicken, and they forgot the cucumbers. At least they delivered within the time they said. Definitely would not order again. read more

Cafe Express has been redeemed! Out of abundance of compassion and love for their vegetarian customers, Café Express Town & Country has brought back the Greek Salad in all of its delicious glory. The salad's foundation includes crispy Romain greens, plump tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumbers, fresh red onions, kalamata olives, and topped with bold feta cheese. My personal recommendation, add avocado! Also, adding garbanzo beans and capers from their tidy bar makes this flavorful dish great for lunch or dinner! Thank you Café Express for always taking care of the needs and concerns of your patrons. I await seeing you all 3-4 times a week again! read more

This has become my go to for take out.Fresh and fast and consistently has my order right.Their pick 2 with half order of sandwich and soup , side or salad is generous in portion side .You can certainly find something for the kids and is reasonably priced.Their drinks are endless if decide to eat there and their salmon with asparagus is well worth the price in terms of flavor .Go take a look .You might be pleasantly surprised. read more

Great dog friendly outside seating. Great for brunch/ breakfast- Lunch & Dinner/snack time. I usually get the Greek pita, Caesar salad & chicken orzo soup here (or other CEs too). My Human kids love this place too. They've got kid menus for them. The person that rang me up- I think Bethany was wonderful and nice. Another worker was also very friendly. Ms. Candy- she came and talked to my dog after her shift ended/ store closed. They have plenty of great outdoor seating that you can stay at even after closing. I eat super slow... read more

I eat there weekly for many years. Always good always dependable! Great place for lunch or dinner. Tasty food!

I've frequented Cafe Express over 20 years, not busy on a Monday at 3 or so was the worst ever?! I entered to an empty restaurant. I walked to the counter. Two men were looking on their phones. They both looked up at me and continued on their phones? I asked if the restaurant was open. Daniel replied, "yeah?!" And continued looking on his phone. I apologized for disturbing their moment. Daniel continued looking at his phone. Suddenly the cashier says I'll help you. Food was beyond subpar?! Half a salad, 4 slices of chicken breast, and barely a touch of pesto? Cancelled. read more

I enjoy eating at every Cafe Express I've been to. The food is consistently good, the service is friendly and efficient and the ambiance is clean and comfortable. My favorite food there is the cheese burger with sweet potato fries. Delicious! I routinely go back to the one in my neighborhood and always leave satisfied! read more

I have this place on lunch rotation when I meet up with GD. CE has been around since the 80's & introduced me to black bean soup. And today it's still as good as my first bowl. It's my go-to meal or sometimes I pair a cup with a salad or sammich. Their burgers are pretty good & french fries excellently crispy. The salads are all solid, I usually go for the Chicken Deli salad which has grilled chicken & pesto pasta on spring mix, pine nuts, olives, tomatoes & their house red wine vinaigrette. All the flavors blend well & ingredients super fresh. The turkey cobb salad is another favorite of mine & a heavenly mix of spring mix, avocado, chopped bacon, blue cheese, boiled egg, tomatoes & turkey tossed in a red win vin. When ordering a sandwich, you can not go wrong with the Romesco Avocado, a vegetarian sandwich that is chock full of avocado, spring mix, feta & roasted tomatoes on a ciabatta bun. Order at the counter & the meal is brought out to you. Staff is friendly & service sometimes slow but if you want a decent meal for the buck, this is the place to go. read more

Today I learn why this place is called cafe express. 11$ salad My mistake I Thought grill chicken meant it would be hot and not 2 maybe 3 day old cold chicken. The lettuce was at least a day old . I'm not sauce how expensive ranch is but mine was clearly watered down. 14$ cheeseburger It's magic to be able to make a burger where half of it is hot and the other half is cold. And don't bother to tell them to put the lettuce tomato and onion on the side. Because they won't do it. Came with it all on my hot/cold burger. I should of cooked today. read more

Have never been to this location, first time stopping by, and I think it was the best decision, the food here is very good, and the service is impecable, not to mention the ambiance it was so nice, I was working while having a late lunch, replying to some Emails, and everything was so peaceful, will definitely be returning, the Manager Mrs.Candy was super attentive. read more

This place has gone far downhill. Cafe express is my go to place for quick lunches or last minute takeout for dinner. Used to be consistent and reliable quality food. I've ordered for pick up many times and never had so many issues as I've had in the past month. I tried giving them a chance before finally deciding to post this review. The worst thing anyone can do is mess up a kids meal in my opinion. We always order after dinner rush so usually on a Sunday at 7:30pm or 8pm We always order 2 salads and a kids shells pasta with marinara sauce. The first time they messed up they forgot one salad. They tried to throw it together last minute and it came out all wrong. I always get 2 of the same salads. The guy scrambled to make the salad and when I got home I found it wasn't even the right one. I thought ok, maybe it's just a fluke. Then just this past Sunday I tried it out again. Same order, 2 salads and kids shells pasta with marinara. Kids pasta looked half eaten. Maybe 25-30 shells and 1 tablespoon of marinara max. I've never seen a kids meal look this shitty in my life. On top of that, there is a random rigatoni pasta in there. It was literally like they did not give a f***. I will never go back and I absolutely love the Caesar salad so this really bothers me. I've been going here for over 15 years. Def will never be back nor would I ever recommend this location to anyone. I know times are tough with the pandemic but this was just crap. read more
