Bit of a throwback to the last century. That's not a criticism, it's a lovely traditional cafe. The coffee is excellent and the bacon roll was truly a thing of beauty: nice thick and crisp bacon on a fresh soft roll with plenty of butter. Delicious. The owners were very pleasant and the service was great. Easy parking on the street. If you're on the M4 in the Port Talbot area this is worth the 5 minute detour.

They make a lovely ham and salad bap, very fresh and tasty. Great atmosphere, and the place has an old style charm. Highly recommend if you're passing to drop in for something to eat

What a great find this place is. The owners are super friendly and the veggie breakfast and decaf coffee were great. My son loved his meat breakfast and the prices are really reasonable! I will definitely be back

The Express Cafe has been part of the local community in Margam for many years. The owners are always cheerful and hard working. The food is delicious with varied daily menu options. Their flavoursome Italian coffee has remained the same over the years and is one of the main reasons I look forward to visiting this gem of a place I can highly recommend.
