    Welcome to EXPRESS coffee shop. #bnw #glendale
    Carl N.

    I like my coffee how I like myself: tall, dark, sweet, gorgeous and too hot for you. Lol. :D Let's begin this exciting review. EXPRESS Coffee shop is a local charming cafe on a midsize plaza in Glendale. They offer a breadth of coffee and tea drinks (hot or iced), pastries and food. Its lovely interior wall decor of giant jungle leaves emits a relaxing atmosphere. Moreover, their indoor and outdoor seats were very comfy in an open layout. I was in search for a new cafe adventure in the area; I came on a 90 degree afternoon to grab a drink. I ordered a Cold Brew and Iced Coffee. Both were really, really bloody good!! Staff were cordial and professional. Service was spot on. Prices were competitive and march the quality of their drinks. Free wifi and parking. Collectively, this cafe is great spot for people-watching, chill with a laptop, and unwind with good vibe. Overall, I had a great experience and truly enjoyed their refreshing cold drinks. I was filled with joy! I recommend this local cafe.

    I absolutely love hanging out at Express Cafe Shop. The quality of their drinks and food is top-notch, and the service always makes me feel right at home. hi glad I find new favorite spots

    The baristas at this coffee shop are so sweet, warm and friendly. I moved to Glendale recently and have made this my coffee shop when I want to treat myself. I always forget to bring cash to tip them tho. The registers really need to be equipped with the option to tip. Please please please change this. The food and coffee is delicious but sometimes if I drive by and don't have cash I don't stop in because I want to reward their amazing service.

    I'm so excited to be writing this review for a number of reasons! 1. We had a fabulous time & can't wait to share with others 2. I found a place I want to go weekly 3. I realized that I was an old customer of theirs Ok, let's begin. Express Coffee is a cute, modern cafe. I had driven by last week and thought to myself I really need to stop here one of these days. And that day was today. My hubs and our daughter were wanting to get out for some coffee this morning and by the time we decided where to go we were hungry! We walked in and were greeted by a handsome young man. He was patient as I looked at the awesome photos they had of their delicious selections for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I mention that because they're open until 10 PM. And the reason I know that is because we enjoyed it so much and plan to come back. We decided to have two Armenian coffees (always excited when a place serves it). Sometimes it's nice to have that as an option when you go out rather than making it at home. We also got a chocolate chip cookie for our daughter. And the hubs ordered a croissant egg sandwich and added cheese. I had the club sandwich and it was fabulous. It comes with this awesome dressing in the side as well, it was phenomenal. I'm posting pics once I'm done typing too but they may not do it justice. They also have pastries like cakes and croissants and cookies. Hot and cold drinks including coffee, tea and non coffee drinks. Ok, they don't have ten baristas working at the same time but I saw 2 or 3 people and for a quaint and private place like this I think it's good enough. I would say it was semi busy and we still got our items in a pretty timely manner. I'm only even mentioning this because I read some reviews that were complaining but I didn't get that too slow vibe. I forgot to mention I think they might have an electronic hookah and were planning on going back one evening to try that out. We have regular hookah typically so I'm curious how the electronic one is. And then I can update more info here because no one was smoking hookah or anything for the morning time when we were visiting today. While I was there I realized this is the same place I used to come to. I remembered the place and the name and when I asked the barista he said yes it been here about thirty years. What an awesome accomplishment. I had moved away for the last ten years but now that I'm back in my hometown I will definitely be supporting this local coffee shop.

    Food was tasty, Express Coffee is a comfy spot for a quick brunch. Just went and also got the nutella latte it was one of a kind, very good and not too sweet. Definitely will come back and the waitress was very accommodating to us.

    Beautiful pastries
    Dena G.

    Coffee Express has very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing pastries! They also have a lovely and comfy interior. I popped in here to get a cappuccino and a pastry and was happy to find this sweet and friendly little place. I'm getting to know the Glendale area, and the more I know it, the more I like it. Coffee Express is a gem!

    Iced Nutella latte
    Niree S.

    Stopped by because we were in desperate need of caffeine and I found this place on Yelp. The inside has a tropical Brazilian vibe that was cute. I tried the iced Nutella latte and my sister got the vanilla soy iced latte. We are both exceptionally surprised at the quality and taste of the latte. They were very tasty and you could definitely taste the coffee. I would definitely recommend giving them a try when you're in the area!

    Stopped by while in the area to get their delicious cold brew. It's amazing. If you are in the area give it a try. They offer sandwiches , salads and more. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a friendly lady who was helping other customers, once she was done she quickly poured my coffee and asked if I want anything added to the cold brew. Now that's the kind of service I love to see. It just makes your day when the service is happy and friendly.

    Yelp review rated this place a 4.9 stars rating from 260+ people (an almost perfect rating). I read…read moresome of the reviews which seemed very exaggerated which created doubt...I was completely corrected. First bite to the last, the meal was delicious. We got a couple of hot sandwiches. A Pastrami and a Philly Cheesesteak which they recommended. It was unbelievable how good the sandwiches were. The rolls were warm and crispy, and the flavors were well balanced. The Pastrami had a brilliant balance between the mustard and pickle. The Philly Cheesesteak had the same brilliant balance with the meat and cheese that was in every bite. I was torn between the two great sandwiches. I'd have to say that this place has become, so far, my favorite spot for a Philly Cheesesteak and Pastrami. This place is a must return kind of place for me to stop by for a bite (even when I'm not hungry), and I can't wait to recommend or bring people here. Chefs made the sandwiches perfectly and were quick to get us our food. No private parking lot. No chairs but only tables to stand and eat your food, but it was worth it. Bring enough $ to tip handsomely, because I'm sure you'll want to.

    Just found this place through Instagram ads and decided to give it a try. Just for information,…read moretheir working hours are 9 AM-9 PM, 7 days a week. I mentioned this because we missed it on one of our attempts. Finally, on Sunday evening, my husband and I had a chance to visit Butcher and Booze. Very interesting store, with a delicious smell. There is a huge section of drinks where you can find very unique wines and alcoholic beverages. They also have a section of Japanese drinks, and in another corner, different kinds of unique seasonings, BBQ charcoal, and other BBQ supplies. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Next to the drinks section, there are several tables available indoors and two tables on the sidewalk for outdoor dining to enjoy your meals. Their food menu is very interesting, and we tried the Philly cheesesteak and pastrami sandwiches (which they prepare completely in-house from A to Z). The sandwiches were super delicious, juicy, and full of flavor. One thing that surprised me was the amount of salt they used -- it was exactly the right amount, and we didn't get thirsty after eating them. These sandwiches are some of the best we've tried so far, and I highly recommend giving them a try. I noticed a huge samovar (large kettle) and another kettle in the corner of the open kitchen, and I asked about them. Argisht, who noticed my interest and who I believe is behind the kitchen and the delicious food success there, started a very warm and helpful conversation with us and surprised us by serving cups of tea. The tea tasted super soft and delicious. If you have ever tried Middle Eastern tea, you will love this tea. Luckily, they are selling it in the store, if I am not wrong it was Sri Lanka tea, which I have never seen in any store around Glendale or Burbank. Thank you for the great food, awesome store, and very positive and friendly service. With just one visit, Butcher and Booze will become one of your usual spots, so don't miss it!

    First off, I didn't even try the actual hot food that they service but ambiance and service?!…read more100000000/10. Exceptional. Just that in itself will be bringing my husband and I back. We came here on Christmas Eve hoping to try their sandwiches but to also buy some meat as a white elephant gift. First off we were greeted warmly by the staff - not just the cashier but every staff member working behind the counter. On top of that, they gave us a shot of cognac for my husband and I to try. We decided to try buy some wagyu burger patties for the white elephant (we ended up winning these back during our white elephant - they were excellent!). The patties were juicy, rich, and so tasty! Can't wait to try other cuts! When we checked out, they offered us two small complimentary bottles of champagne and some produce from their refrigerated area. this was so kind of them to do so. This place is like your one stop shop - hot food, butcher, alcoholic drinks, liquor, and other cooking goods like seasonings, caviar, butter etc. Unfortunately they were not serving sandwhiches that day so we didn't get to try but we will definitely be coming back to try! Thanks so much to the staff and Butcher and Booze for treating us like fam.

Staff were absolutely wonderful and very helpful with menu items and deciding between the 'crispy' or regular Caesar wrap. I love the industrial Italian atmosphere when you walk in. I brought my food home and loved the crispy look of the chicken inside the wrap! I got extra dressing on the side. It's VERY GARLIC-E! Very good but very strong garlic and I'm a garlic lover. It's decently sized which is nice because I was able to save half for lunch the next day however, I did use a different Caesar from the fridge in an effort to minimize my garlic intake the 2nd day. Would highly recommend trying this place! I am looking forward to trying additional items off the menu as well!

    While I find Ggiata as a sandwich shop brand to be so-so, I rate this newer Highland Park location…read morehigher than the location on Melrose Avenue that I had frequented more regularly in the past. While the menu is the same, the Highland Park spot on York Boulevard has more ample seating (with a diner-style setup along with some sidewalk tables), and I've also found the service to be more welcoming than the other Ggiata location. While both locations manage a lot of to-go orders, I've found that my orders are completed promptly when I've ordered in person at this newer branch. During my most recent visits I ordered the crispy chicken Caesar wraps, and my experience has varied. While I enjoyed it the first time I ate it, the filling ratio was off the second time (with an inordinate amount of Romaine lettuce compared to chicken). While I would not go out of my way to order at Ggiata, it's a decent option if I'm in the area and craving a sandwich.
