I remember when Cafe Cine Express first opened up back in the early 1990's. It was around the same time that X-Files came out, the first two seasons when it was aired on Friday nights at midnight and no one knew about it and it was considered a cult favorite. Long before it became a mainstream cultural phenomena.\nAt that time, Cafe Cine Express would host X-files viewings, so that people could come in and watch the latest episode at Friday midnight viewings. It was awesome,  a total geekfest. Everyone silently eating really good cakes or pastries or drinking fresh coffee while watching episodes on alien abductions, conspiracy theories and cryptozoology on the giant screen in the back. Those were the days.\n\nSince those days, from what I understand the ownership has changed hands a few times, and it seems to get worse each time. The old character of the place is gone, it's usually filled with gamers or during World Cup soccer, sports fans going berserk. I'm surprised it has managed to stay open all these years but I guess having prime location so close to students at Concordia and Dawson must help. Food is really nothing to write home about and neither is the service.
