Really enjoyed stopping here on our trip and will definitely be back. They only had one of a certain Sandwich my toddler wanted and they offered to make another one. Excellent taro boba. The island luau smoothie is bomb.

We recently ordered the grilled chicken and rice platter from Fresh Express for our team lunch. The food was freshly made, the chicken was as grilled to perfection. The coco rice was absolutely delicious, adding a unique and flavorful twist to the meal. The sesame salad was well-blended and complemented the main dishes beautifully. The Fresh Express provided a fantastic lunch that our entire team enjoyed. Highly recommended.

I had an order of egg rolls and a tropical twist smoothie. Both were excellent. Perfect for a light lunch.

I love the chicken fried rice. The owner, herself makes it fresh and they’re so so good. Also, I love the fruit iced teas especially the Lychee and Mango ones. So delicious. So refreshing. Highly recommended !!!

The smoothies are great! Its so hard to find a place that uses real fruit and doesn't have a ton of blended ice for filler

This place is a wonderful spot to sit down and eat. All of the options are great and everything tastes amazing as well. They get the food and drinks out fast too so you won’t have to sit around much and wait for them.
