We go to Cafe Espresso at least twice a month. It has free parking, good food, pleasant service, and reasonable prices. We've been there for breakfast, lunch, and just a cuppa tea. Consistency pays off for them. Last month we held a small function there for 10 people. Everyone was well fed, full, complimentary, and happy. Great service that day... More

Cafe Espresso has the best breakfast in town. It has specials that suit whatever breakfast hankering you have. Although the service can be inconsistant, they seem well-meaning and just busy.

The menu is an adventure in great combinations of food! The place has a constant flow of guest, which is a good indication of great food! They are right. Healthy portions, prepared and presented well made the visit well worth it. I would highly recommend this hidden gem.

If you think about the name of this restaurant (Cafe espresso) you are instantly disappointed, when you enter. I was expecting cozy, warm and maybe touch of italian feeling to this restaurant, but it is just big open space with regular cafeteria tables and booths all around the place. The biggest disappointment, however, was the food. Very greasy eggs, potatoes... More
