Sean, his Mama and the staff are the sweetest, kindest, most conscientious people making the best local breakfast at the best price! Three pancakes for $3.50?! Made directly in front of you fresh by a kitchen magician?! Café Express is the kind of food and atmosphere everyone wishes for in their heart. Calling ahead is good, esp if you’re on the clock: I drive rideshare and will recommend this spot to my clients and fellow drivers. That’s the best compliment I can give a spot!

Great place, and an even better value. There are only a few tables, so I recommend calling in, and taking it togo. Especially if you're in the downtown area. I got a fresh, homemade, perfectly seasoned, thin cut fried pork chop, with grits, scrambled eggs, toast, and a drink for $6.00 They have been in business for over 22 years. Support local business.

I love this place. Good food, and excellent customer service.

It was so so good....real soul food at a affordable price. Like no lie this was some of the best food I had in a while🤗

I have had better from home plus the very long wait as if it being cooked to order

Absolutely wonderful! Great food! Great customer service. It is amazing to see a staple in the community still serving the people of Baton Rouge after all these years. It's an establishment that has been passed down generations. The owner is a great guy. He serves food as well as laughs and talks with his customers. Amazing place, will definitely return soon. I highly recommend 👌

Awesome good and great customer service! Needs. A few updates as far as being able to use credit cards, etc…. Loved the food tho

Would recommend you to visit if you love good ol soul food

The food is pretty good. The side were also seasoned well.

The owner was very attentive and kind. The food we had was scrumptious! We ate the fried chicken plate and the fried pork chops plate. Their sides were yummy: candied yams and collard greens. The cornbread was fluffy and yummy! Definitely recommend you trying this place!

My boyfriend and I stopped here in April when we were in Baton Rouge because we wanted to try some authentic soul food. The food did not disappoint whatsoever! We are both from Canada and have never had American soul food and the food at Cafe Express lived up to all of my expectations. The place is no frills but the portions are heafty, the food is delicious and the staff are so sweet and kind ❤️ One tip I have though is GO EARLY! By the time we got there (after 1:00 pm) they were sold out of a lot of there stuff that we would have loved to try-next time we are in Louisiana we will be sure to come by for an early lunch!

I really enjoyed my experience at this local black owned eatery. The food was delicious, cost efficient & the service was also very welcoming and warm. I will be returning and plan to become a regular customer! Thanks for the delicious food!

The Cafe is excellent. I received a thin-cut, freshly prepared, properly seasoned pork chop along with grits, scrambled eggs, toast, and a beverage. The customer service is also really fantastic. Recomended

When I visit Baton Rouge LA, I make it my business to stop by for that good old HOME cooking. Fried Fish with 2 side of Collard green river and gravy, and Turkey wing potatoes salad with sweet peas All way on POINT ☝️

Great soul food spot. While I think the quality of the main ingredients have gone down a little the food is still great! Best red beans in BR!

Unfortunately they're not open Sundays...I've seen several reviews (all positive) on ig and tiktok. In definitely looking forward to trying their food.
