About Cafe Express

Cafe Express is a neat, welcoming spot on York Way that does a solid, filling breakfast — think veggie options, grilled halloumi, and a broad menu that gives everyone something to get excited about. The staff have a real warmth about them; regulars say they're remembered by name and greeted with a genuine smile, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed rather than rushed — handy when you're wrangling little ones. It's buggy-accessible with outdoor space to spill into, highchairs are usually available, and there's a kids' menu, though there's no baby changing on site so plan accordingly.
