I have ordered from Rex dozens upon dozens of times (it's an all but guaranteed order each and every Saturday morning, often on Sunday too). These are mostly delivery orders, but sometimes I’ll also pick up an order during a weekday stroll. This place is the definition of a local café that we collectively need to keep sustainable (if not thriving) with our business.
Everything I've ordered has been consistently excellent. The coffee and other drinks (housemade lemonade, etc.) not surprisingly, are just what you'd want or come to expect. The food, light bites, as well as vegan and/or gluten-free baked goods are also all made on the premises. Consequently, they're always fresh. You don’t come across this much anymore.
I can’t leave without adding their vegan bar to my drink order. It’s delicious for starters, but the ingredients are also clearly designed to fuel sustained energy. Lastly, the highly-customizable breakfast sandwiches, wraps and AV toast are a must too. Call me crazy, but I actually enjoy that their portions aren’t too big on the food offerings. This way each bite feels more special, somehow, and I feel ready for my day versus blah and lethargic. Anyways, give Rex a shot and there is almost no way that you could possibly regret your decision. It is a north Hell’s Kitchen staple that’s...
Read moreI've been a REX regular for a few years now, and it's gotten to the point where my day doesn't feel like it's truly started until I've stopped by to pick up my morning coffee and breakfast. It is, without a doubt, a defining feature of this neighborhood and one of the top things I would miss dearly if I ever had to move away.
First off, the coffee is consistently fantastic. I'm a huge fan of all their espresso drinks, but my daily go-to is a simple, perfect Americano. The team here is another huge part of what makes this place so special—they are incredibly friendly, always welcoming, and impressively efficient, even during the busiest morning rushes.
But to call REX just a coffee shop would be doing it a disservice. Their food is absolutely top-notch. They have, in my opinion, the best breakfast sandwiches in town. My personal favorites are the breakfast burrito with pastrami, yogurt/granola, and any of the Utopia bagel sandwiches. Honestly, though, I've explored a good chunk of the menu over the years and have never once been disappointed. You truly can't go wrong with anything you order here. It's a true...
Read moreI was ordering consistently under my fiance Shaka's account of uber first time I ordered the muffins they were made to perfection the last 2 order's the out side is cooked but the inside is not fully cooked and mushy . The previous time I got avacado on my breakfast sandwich the amount became way smaller if I pay extra why would I get two pieces of very tiny avacado on each side & I paid extra for a few items actually.I truly wish them the best. Also suggest to always wear gloves and hair nets.Should you stop in ? Why not Rex definitely has worthy items in my opinion when cooked right :) in total since July I spent $390 from July into august. best of wishes guys :) Reply to owner : Just to highlight I did say I still recommend your establishment & that you guys have amazing items . I also stated you guys have worthy items which to me it was worth the money I paid just about every time except the last two times when the muffins were not fully baked inside .the avacado was perfect previous times but the last time size wise was way smaller but I still recommend Rex to other's...
