Cafe 21 Express

This place is terrible. At work we commonly refer to it as «desperation café», as you’d only go there if you were absolutely destitute of other options. I got sick off the lomein and the options simply aren’t fresh.

A small café in the twin towers down town. They are polite and friendly and they get food out to you fast. They offer a variety of lunch and breakfast options to go including soup/​sandwich combo, Asian noodles, burger/​fries, and a salad bar. Its clean and they try hard.
I had the grilled cheese/​soup combo a few weeks ago and it was probably the worst grilled cheese/​soup combo I’ve ever had. (Probably not the best selection but it was a cold day and grilled cheese sounded good at the time.)
A lot of people frequent Café 21 at lunch, and I really would have felt bad about judging them on the grilled cheese alone. Today I had a noodle dish and it was decent, the veges were crisp and it wasn’t heavily salted. This seems to be their go-​to dish.
I’m thinking its more like 2.5 stars but I think it is a family-​run business, so lets just round it up.

Located in the lobby of the Denver Place the café looks appealing with a nice variety of breakfast, lunch and smoothie options.
I’ve put off trying them due to their higher menu prices and the variety of competition in the area.
I bought an egg, bacon and cheese croissant. At $ 3.55 the diminutive morsel was hardly worth the price. At the same price point, you can buy a huge, fresh burrito from someone nearby. The burritos here are $ 6 (smothered) and about $ 3.50 plain. My coworker likes the plain burrito for the hashbrowns that are in it.
At lunch, a coworker paid $ 5.50 for a sandwich consisting of 2 pieces of bread, a slice of cheese and a slice of ham. Definitely not worth it.
The food is only ok.
After eating the egg croissant I am still hungry, but out $ 3.50. I won’t be going back, and I can hardly recommend this place.
