Express Cafe — Restaurant in Kissimmee

The Express Cafe is in the hotel called Celebration Suites. If you’re not careful, you’ll miss the entrance. We ordered a few items to sample. No indoor dining. It was very hot outside but there are umbrella-ed tables. The Argentina style Chicken Empanadas (baked) was out of this world full of flavor. Served with Cilantro Sauce. Try the empanada before saucing it up. The omelet and the Arepas were okay. The bacon on the Arepas and the Omelet was nice and thick but a little fatty. It could have been cooked longer. The kids Mickey Mouse pancake ($8.00) was well, a pancake, as to be expected but they didn’t bring the syrup with it and by the time we received syrup, the pancake was cold. It took a while for our Frappuccino and Cafe de leche to come out. They bring the food out as it’s cooked expect to be eating in front of your hungry spouse or family while they’re food is waiting to come out. The Cafe de Leche was very sweet but I loved the Frappuccino (added vanilla) because it was strong and definitely worth the price. We also had a shot of Iced Expresso which I highly recommend for a quick “pick me up”. Well, if I eat here again, I would not order an omelet because all toppings were additional. I would not tip because you don’t really have a “true server”. Rather food runners. I had to go to the window to ask for refills and ask for to-go boxes and ask for condiments. The next time I eat here, it will be for the Empanadas and/or Frappuccino and it will be taken to-go. By the way, it’s way too hot in Florida to...

What a hidden gem! This little cafe has a walk-up window with some patio tables set up just outside of Old Town Kissimmee. It is tucked in a hotel parking lot, but is well worth the visit. My husband, daughter, and I stopped there before checking out the amusements in Old Town, and we were not disappointed! The gentleman running the front counter was so kind and helpful and enjoyable to talk to. He was also so sweet to our 3 year old daughter. The food was so fresh and delicious - a nice blend of different flavors and nationalities. I was thrilled to get freshly made pao de queijo.... something I can't easily find in Virginia, and which I hadn't had in 20 years. The cafe con leches was fantastic. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the costs of most nearby restaurants. The portions were not huge, but that was perfect - we ate until we were full (not overstuffed!) and felt good afterwards. And I didn't have to worry about leftovers spoiling in our car in the Florida heat. And did I mention it was our anniversary?! My husband and I laughed that everyone would laugh at us for eating in a hotel parking lot for our anniversary dinner, but to us it was perfect. We like simple, unique places, different flavors, and supporting local businesses. Would definitely recommend and...

So people love this cafe because it’s part of their happy vacation memories. It’s a tiny cafe in the Celebration Suites with excellent food and coffee.

One of the reviews said they only speak Spanish but that’s not true. The owner was at the window and he spoke English like an American. Like most businesses in the area they have multilingual servers to serve our wonderfully diverse population. Customer service today was warm and gracious.

They offer American and Latin American specialties such as ham, egg and cheese bagels; empanadas with different fillings; and arepas with different fillings. Pastries are displayed behind the counter. They’re famous for their coffee and freshly squeezed juice.

I had a good veggie arepa! The filling was made of sautéed mushrooms, red onions and bell peppers with minced garlic. It really hit the spot. Plus the cortado was so cute and it tasted great.

The five tables outside were mostly empty til about 9:00 am (Sunday morning). Classy jazz piano created a...
