With a deep-rooted passion for food and a disciplined approach born from his service in the U.S. Navy, Chef Stephen brings heart, hustle, and heritage to every dish at Breakfast-Express.
After years of cooking for his shipmates across the globe, Stephen learned that food isn’t just fuel — it’s comfort, culture, and connection. That belief drives every bite served at Breakfast-Express, from his signature biscuits & gravy to hearty breakfast burritos made with care and purpose.
Stephen co-founded Breakfast-Express with the vision of creating a neighborhood go-to where every guest feels like family. Whether he’s behind the grill or greeting regulars, his mission is the same: serve fresh, flavorful meals that start the day with joy.
💬 “I treat every plate like it’s going to someone I love — because in this community, that’s exactly how it feels.” — Chef Stephen
With over 40 years of experience in operations and logistics, Joe Harris is the steady hand and sharp mind behind the scenes at Breakfast-Express. From keeping the kitchen running smoothly to ensuring every ingredient, order, and schedule lines up just right — Joe is the one who makes sure it all just works.
A Tampa native and natural-born problem solver, Joe’s leadership style is calm, calculated, and built on decades of know-how. But don’t let the title fool you — he’s just as passionate about breakfast as he is about logistics. In fact, he even has a fan-favorite item named after him: “The Joe” — a breakfast sandwich that’s bold, reliable, and seriously satisfying (just like the man himself).
Joe’s presence is felt everywhere — whether it’s mentoring younger staff, chatting with customers, or making sure each shift runs like clockwork. Around here, we like to say:
“If you’ve had a great experience at Breakfast-Express, Joe had something to do with it.”
