“Our company has been using L’Express City for prepared lunches, delivered to our offices, for a number of years. Nicole and her team have always delivered exceptional food and sometimes, at very short notice! The food is varied and caters for any number of tastes. We would highly recommend their services within our St Paul’s Community,” Mark Bird – Chief Executive

Nicole and her team are fabulous. They provide us with all manner of corporate catering such as sandwich platters, dessert trays and most recently, a weekly salad bar set up. Nothing is too much trouble for them and our guests always compliment the halal sandwich platters and ask for directions to the shop so they can go and buy more. Our recent salad bar set up was a real hit with staff and Nicole provided an amazing selection of pre-prepared salads and salad ingredients. But my personal favourite are the pastry trays which are typically delivered warm and fresh from the oven! They are the obvious caterer of choice for our business - local, friendly and fresh.

Perfect, just what I needed to start the day towards the end of a long week. Friendly staff and tasty food! Good vibe and even better coffee.

Nicole and the team often fulfill our corporate catering needs as our office is local to St Pauls. Not only is their food delicious (even their sandwiches are really nice with great fillings) they are excellent at catering for dietary requirements. They also are very helpful with quick turnarounds. An absolute pleasure to deal with, we love supporting a small business rather than a soulless brand. It's worth it for the food and service.

Great little takeaway, with a small patio. We were staying nearby and noticed the long line at lunch and decided to check it out. Arrived around 9:00 am. Looks like a largely locals place due to location. There are a number of small holiday rentals and a hostel in the area however. Food was fresh and the owner couldn't have been more kind. Had the avocado on toast, a BLT style sandwich and a pastry. The coffee was great. Many choices for both breakfast and lunch. Nothing fancy but good food and good value.

I've always liked visiting L'Express since pre COVID days. They have moved premises but food is still excellent and fast. I particularly like their salad bar and sitting outside on a nice day.

L'Express is my favourite lunch place in the City of London and has it all! Always fresh nice foods, my favourite is the lunch buffett where excellent foods for every taste is available to choose from, incl. lots of vegetarian options. Very friendly staff as well and good value for the money - and if you ask for a loyalty card you even get every 10th meal free!

Breakfast at the wonderful friendly cafe is always excellent and very good value for money. The sandwiches, wraps,salads, panini and baguettes are prepared beautifully and with a huge selection of fillings. The coffee is always first class and served in large cups. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend paying this lovely little gem a visit.

As usual on vacation, we hopped from place to place for breakfast. When we discovered L’Express City, we stopped hopping and spent the next 3 mornings having breakfast here. First, the food was freshly made and tasted very good, as did the coffee! Secondly, the service was quick. Lastly, the price was affordable when compared to many of the other breakfasts available near our hotel. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. Takeout orders were possible. The owner was very kind. I can’t say enough about this place. Go there. You will not be disappointed. (I wish I had one like this near my home.)

L'Express have been providing hot corporate lunches locally to our offices in Black Friars Lane for many years and even personal packaged lunches for socially distanced working during the two years of pandemic restrictions. The menu ie expertly varied, always tasty, good portion sizes and excellent value. Lunches always arrive promptly at our office via such accommodating staff. 5 stars! Maria G Soc of Apoth.

We were staying just round the corner at Leonardo Hotels’s Creed Lane apartments and just wanted somewhere local for breakfast. Dropped on this little gem tucked down a narrow side street - what a find! Great breakfast offering & exceptional value - everything from full English, omelettes, scrambled eggs to filled croissants. We both had the full English, which was well presented and very tasty. Priced at £6.50 we thought it good value too. The coffee is exceptionally good - probably the best I’ve had in some time. Omelettes were mainly around £4 - about half the price of a similar sized place nearby. The staff were lovely too. The display of fresh rolls, baguettes & salads also liked most appetising. We were really looking forward to visiting on our second morning but were disappointed to find it closed. There were no opening times displayed. This was a Saturday so we could only assume that they do not open on weekends - a real pity & our loss. The place we ended up at that day was pleasant enough but not as enjoyable as L’Express City. A great little local business & highly recommended.

Last evening we went as a group friends 9 in total to the restaurant. The quality and the quantity of food was poor. When we complained to one of the member of stuff, asking to see the manager or chef, no one came to us to explain or apologise! Definitely Won't go back ever again. ☹
