Breakfast Tacos. Hanging out in the Uptown Park area around breakfast time? Not hankering for a premade Starbucks breakfast, McDonald's, or a Crave cupcake muffin? Get a hearty, "hungry man's" burrito at Cafe Express.

There are tons of southwestern ingredients in it, and you will need at least three napkins. This is not a "TO-GO" burrito, because you will not be able to drive and eat it at the same time without something slopping out on your suit.

There is also free WiFi here.

Cafe Express - New Not So Good. Cafe Express has redone their menu.

The simple pasta seems to be gone - just linguini, choice of sauce + salad. Great for non-meat lovers!

The combos are gone where you can add a drink and salad or soup. Drinks are expensive here - prices not even posted.

New pastas... not so good our first try. The Milanese had a very dry chicken breast and the pasta was rather "dry" even though we asked for extra sauce. (also a little bland tasting - but may have been better had we been able to taste the sauce). The spicy turkey sausage lived up to its name - sausage was spicy and flavorful but again the pasta was dry and flavorless. Will not be having these again.

Thank heaven for the great salads and the generous wine purs!!

fsa sdfsaf sadf. Order at the counter and then sit indoors at the cafe tables or under the umbrellas outside. You'll be among local trendsetters, weekday lunchers and families have the option of grabbing a quick bite or lounging around and shooting the breeze. For colorful and generous salads, roasted chicken, or designer burgers in a flash, it's all deserving. Pastas in oversized bowls, such as cavatelli with broccoli, mushrooms and goat cheese served with a house salad are well-rounded meals.Order at the counter and then sit indoors at the cafe tables or under the umbrellas outside.

refreshing menu and oasis bar. Cafe Express has the healthiest fast food and is consistently good. This location gets busy during lunch but we've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for our food. The salads are excellent.."Triple Deli" and the grilled salmon with sweet potatoes delicious! Their black currant tea is the best. It's serve yourself at the Oasis bar - condiments like chick peas, olives, sun dried tomatoes, cheese. They also have a great wine happy hour during the week.

American classics and oversized servings make it a prime pitstop for quick budget dining.. In Short

great cheap food!. I love this place.. The Capri pasta dish is their best one.. You also get a very good salad with this. I like to get the hummus and garlic bread side dish also. Oh, and its a self-serve place so no tip needed!

Cafe Express-ion!. I love the options available at Cafe Express' Oasis! The restaurant gives me the option to put my own creative touch on any of their already great food. Whether I want it spicier or maybe just throw in some color with a few sundried tomato pieces...it's all there for me! The quick service, healthy menu and affordable pricing make it a perfect alternative to anyone who wants fast food that doesn't taste fast!

Average. The pasta sauces are too bland too me plus the grilled chicken was still slightly pink in the middle. Breads are good and the vanilla cheesecake is to die for. Its a pretty average place. Good for a quick bite.
