Fair Oaks Express Cafe

Well, I suppose it’s my fault. I should have checked the dates of the previous reviews. This place is right by work and we thought that we might have found our new super convenient lunch spot.
This is just your typical building café. It has good amount of seating and lots of windows to while away your lunch hour. The food is pretty mediocre. We checked out the website and menu first and it seemed really promising. Great selection and great prices. When we got there, the menu and specials were hung up, however not always available.
My coworker ordered the chicken delight (chicken salad, tomatoes, lettuce, bacon and avocado). It only comes on a wrap apparently and they only had spinach or wheat available. The menu boasts a big bread and wrap selection, but is not available or something. It was super stuffed… with lettuce. The wrap was very portly which meant it was just layer upon layer of wrap in each mouthful. The chicken salad was alright, lots of relish though. The avocado was really nice though and they gave a generous portion.
I ordered a mozzarella and tomato panini (comes with spinach, pesto and chipotle dressing). This only comes on white or wheat toast. I love tomato and mozzarella, but this was less than average. The spinach became soggy and tasted almost boiled. Tomato juice and spinach liquid came gushing out. It’s lucky I brought a sweater today because it’s all over the front of my shirt.
The food is pretty sub par, but if I worked in that building I would go again. It’s nothing special or even average, however it does fill up your stomach. The portions were ok. The two sandwiches, 2 small coke bottles, and 2 bags of chips was $ 18.
The people who worked there were very nice! I liked them and they are the only redeeming quality of this sad lunch line.

This place is within walking distance from where I work and I love it. We get them to cater our work events and it is always good.
Oh, and BULGOGI baby! Fabulous!!!

If you want delicious, cheap sammiches, this is the place! I had the best Reuben of my life today at Fair Oaks café. It came with an incredible potato salad too, much to my delight. The service was great, the seating was sumptuous and I pretty much had the place to myself which made it perfect for the reading I wanted to do during my lunch.
They have tons of goodies for sale other than their hand-​made sammiches, too. I saw an ice-​cream freezer and a whole wall of chips and cookies, as well as pocky and wasabi peas.
I’ll definitely come back here!

Decent quick cheap sandwiches, wraps, and when they say a sandwich includes a piece of fruit, it is really a delicious bowl of bit size chopped fruit! the women behind the counter are very friendly and they also do smoothies. If I’m ever out here in fairfax again, for some weird reason, I’ll pay them a visit. The entrance does NOT face the road. Pretty sure they are CASH ONLY, but there is an ATM.
