Friendly service upon arrival, coffee order taken promptly but food order was so not quick. Coffee took some time to arrive but was great coffee (they use Havana beans, a nice strong coffee and the milk was steamed well) but the food was a rather long wait - not sure if they were busier than usual for a Sunday morning or if they suffer from not being able to handle a half full cafe. Cafe Express is the wrong name for this establishment. Waited over half an hour for our food to come out - it got to the point where we had to check after twenty minutes if they had lost our order.
There was no mention of a long wait on arrival. No mention or explanation as to why there was a long wait when the food arrived - although we did get a apology when I remarked that we had waited for too long for the food to come.
We got the big breakfast (it’s called The Grand) and the baked beans. The big breakfast was over salted, one of the poached eggs was over cooked and the sausages were over cooked to a dismal shrivel.
I wouldn’t recommend for anything other than coffee and based on my experience, I would rather wait out the two hour journey back to Wellington and save my appetite than return to Cafe Express. I didn’t bother to get any photos of the meal in it’s entirety and am unable to upload some to my review for some reason right now but I will just say that I am full of cafe food and regret. A decidedly average meal with a side of an underwhelming experience left for a bad taste.
