Santa Fe Express Cafe
136 E Santa Fe Ave, Fullerton, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming independent spot positioned right near the train station has become a traveler's oasis, offering thoughtfully curated snacks, quality hot coffee, and solid cafe fare alongside beer and wine—plus the genuinely hospitable touch of letting you store luggage while you explore the neighborhood. The friendly staff and relaxed outdoor seating create a welcoming vibe that transforms what could be a stressful layover into an actual highlight of your journey. It's the kind of place where you're treated like a guest rather than just another transaction, making it worth seeking out whether you're catching a train or just passing through Fullerton.”

Really amazing and delicious place to eat. Very friendly workers I definitely recommend this place especially a great place to stop by when traveling ❤️
On Thursday I wanted to get food, but they took too long because their frier wasn’t working and they didn’t tell me anything and it was already 30 minutes in when i placed the order. The train that i was gonna board was already coming in 6 minutes and the worker asked me if I still wanted my order or a refund. Then the worker was attending someone else and I was waiting for them to refund me. But they took too long and the train was already there. The lady then said to bring the receipt the next to but once I was off the train I then called and wanted my money back. They first did a partial refund and expected me to not noticed but I then asked for the full payment back and they said they had given it to me. I check my account to see if the money is still in my account. And I believe that they might have taken their money back because I see no refund. This is honestly so upsetting and could’ve been prevented.
They are a little shop with everything you might need that you may have forgotten for your trip. They have snacks, drinks, hot coffee and food.
A cafe shop where you can pick up a snack or lunch and a beverage while you wait for your train. Menu is typically bar food. Beers and wine are also served here. A nice outdoor seating area with lively music playing on speakers. Tables are also available indoors too. The only negative here is that they charge $1 for tap water. I was under the impression that tap water should be free. Super convenient to wait for your train under the shade.
Believe it or not... I showed up 4 hrs before my train departures, 🚆 🙃 I was asked if I wanted to live my baggage 🧳 with them ,so that I could go to explore. I went to the port, ans toured the MIDWAY!, to eat breakfast.. THEY EVEN CHARGE MY PHONE!!!. Overall, a great experience.
