About Cafe Express

Don't be put off by the plain frontage or the modest street-facing window — the room runs a long way back and widens out, so there's usually space even when it looks full, and plenty of room to park a pram beside a table. High chairs and a kids' menu are here, plus a few outdoor tables for when the little ones need air. The team work fast and stay unfailingly patient; when it's quiet, food can land in under ten minutes, which matters when someone's melting down. Fried breakfasts are the speciality — proper sausages, nothing swimming in oil — and the omelettes and lasagne get real praise, with a decent machine coffee thrown in free with the big breakfast. Prices are genuinely low. It's a busy, chatty spot with lots of older regulars, so expect noise rather than hush.
