Cafe Express offers a delightful taste of soul food right in the heart of Baton Rouge! 🌟

I tried the breakfast special, and let me tell you, it was simply amazing. The smothered pork chops literally changed my life! The fried chicken plate paired with fluffy cornbread, candied yams, and collard greens was pure comfort food heaven. The atmosphere is casual and cozy, making it perfect for solo dining or a meal with friends. Just be prepared for a little wait - it’s worth it! Don't forget to grab a cup of their great coffee before leaving. I’ll definitely be back for more! ☕️🍽️
