What the community has to say about Nova Express

Information about this business (1)

If there is a heaven for science-fiction geeks, Café Nova Express is where they will eat. The restaurant/cafe resembles an alien space station mock-up, complete with airplane seats, glass shelves filled with action figures, comic book reprints and a painted “window” into deep space. It’s open until the wee hours for all your late-night coffee or espresso needs, sandwiches (turkey focaccia is...

Quirky, fun, late-night haunt for the nerdy/hip crowd. Decent food and drinks.

The coffee house scene is so 1997. It's done. I wasn't even a fan of this place when it was happening. If you are up

The coffee house scene is so 1997. It's done. I wasn't even a fan of this place when it was happening. If you are up this late and not a tween looking for someplace to hangout, head down to Canter's or Damiano's.

With a look that's a cross between "Star Wars" and "Star Trek," this cafe is like an adolescent boy's obsessive ode to the science-fiction genre. Classic comic book reprints, movie posters and superhero murals cover the walls; glass cases and shelves display a collector's worth of alien action figures. DJs supply ambient sounds at night, while the lava lamps and neon lights give the black-lit...

It's an otherworldly experience.

Tips about this business (3)

Look Good

Although it's called Nova Express, most people refer to this kooky place as the Alien Bar or Cosmic Pizza. (The small, almost indetectable sign outside doesn't help matters, either.)

Save Money

Get half-priced drinks, like the Nova Martian Martini, from 5pm to 8pm every day.

When to Go

Late nights are when the place really starts to pick up--that's when club kids come crawling in for some doughy sustenance.
