Was Anonym at Express Cafe a mag?
My son and I had breakfast, the staff were charmingly friendly and the place had a great local flair. My son and I had blueberry pancakes with bacon, tasty. The coffee was fresh and hot. Great little spot View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Express Cafe:
We stopped by for a couple of beers here once & never again! I also bought a T-Shirt for $15.00. 2 beers that proprietor suggest what we should try & immediately after the bar keep opened them she said, "that will be $16.10.' Boy was I shocked! But I paid & drank them, & they certainly were not worth the money! I also bought a T-Shirt for $15.00. when I got back to my hotel room I noticed several stitching flaws.! Ag... View all feedback.

We stopped by for a couple of beers here once & never again! I also bought a T-Shirt for $15.00. 2 beers that proprietor suggest what we should try & immediately after the bar keep opened them she said, "that will be $16.10.' Boy was I shocked! But I paid & drank them, & they certainly were not worth the money! I also bought a T-Shirt for $15.00. when I got back to my hotel room I noticed several stitching flaws.! Again I felt like these folks didn't care who they robbed. I will never go back here again! I can be ripped off by much better people & places. Too bad there are people out there that spoil it for others who are trying to do a better way of business.

My last visit to the express cafe was amazing, sadly I can not say the same for this visit. Slow service, poorly cooked food and it was not busy. Three tables and two servers, who where far from efficient and did not work as a team. There was one point they had both went to the same table to take an order. Just utterly confused. I arrived and seated myself, I was waiting on my guest to arrive, while I waited I had coffee, my guest in turn waited 20 minutes to be offered a beverage, to make matters worse we left waiting an additional 20 minutes to order. This is not the norm for the express cafe, hope it gets better before tourist season starts. Overall I think just a bad day bad day for staff on both sides. Kitchen and front of house.

We had two meals here while attending the Brier. The staff were friendly. I think the crowd of people all at once was abit over whelming for the staff as they were not prepared. Our first meal was abit of a mix up, so we tried again and this time didn't get what we ordered so did not go back.

This was an extremely pleasant surprise!! Better than the Bagel Cafe down the street.

ITS LIT. The eggs Benny came with big ol hunks of ham and everything was cooked perfectly. Perfect hangover meal.
