Walgreens' Frozen Cafe W Cheese Burger

A Walgreens Pharmacy is located three blocks from my apartment and I normally shop there a couple of times a week. One of the main reasons I shop there is to purchase various types of Walgreens' private label Cafe W products. Among the items that I regularly purchase there is Walgreens' frozen Cafe W Cheeseburger.

This frozen burger is a delicious and convenient product that takes only a couple of minutes to heat and it tastes very good. Presented here, as a service to the consumer at large, is an article which reviews and examines Walgreens' frozen Cafe W Cheese Burger.

Size
The net weight of the standard sized Walgreens Cafe W Cheese Burger is 4.90 ounces (139 grams). One cheese burger counts as one serving. In physical size, this is a good sized sandwich. It is not huge, but it is roughly the same size as most regular 1/4 pound cheese burgers from fast food restaurants.

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 4.90 ounce Cafe W frozen Cheese Burger at Hartford, Connecticut area Walgreens Pharmacies is approximately $1.29. This price seems very reasonable to me. It is about the same price as many fast food restaurant cheeseburgers, but with this frozen cheese burger, you can eat it at any time, without having to go to a restaurant.

Texture / Consistency
When heated according to the package instructions, this frozen cheese burger offers a very pleasing texture. Firstly, the sesame seed bun that holds the burger is nice and fresh and its texture is similar to that of a fast food restaurant style bun.

The burger is definitely a real hamburger. It is not some sort of strange beef bread crumb patty that some companies utilize in their frozen burgers. The burger is all meat, with no fat or unpleasant byproducts present. The slice of American cheese, is just that; real American cheese. It melts very nicely over the burger, contributing to the overall nice mouth feel that this sandwich offers.

Nutritional Facts
Walgreens' Cafe W Cheese Burger contains 400 calories, with 190 calories from fat, per one sandwich serving. This frozen burger also contains 8 grams of saturated fat, 0.5 grams trans fat, 21 grams total fat, 40 mg of cholesterol, 780 mg of sodium, 42 grams total carbohydrates, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 7 grams of sugar and 17 grams of protein, per one sandwich serving.

Taste / Flavor
This frozen cheese burger really tastes very good. So far, I have eaten roughly half a dozen of these burgers and I like eating them just about as much as I enjoy eating burgers from fast food restaurants. There is nothing imitation or second rate about Walgreens' frozen Cafe W Cheese Burger.

The burger features a slight charbroiled flavor, the cheese tastes like real American cheese and the bun possesses a pleasant sesame seed flavor. Since these burgers can be cooked when and where you want, you can add any type of toppings you might desire, as opposed to getting a burger at a restaurant, where your topping choices are limited.

With a great flavor base such as the Walgreens' Cafe W Cheese Burger, I have eaten this cheese burger topped with mustard and ketchup, with mayonnaise, with barbecue sauce, with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and ketchup and with Jamaican jerk sauce and the burger tasted very good every time.

On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 9.50.

Packaging
Walgreens' Cafe W Cheese Burger is packaged in an attractively designed cardboard box. Most of the box is black with gray spirals. The center of the front label features a photo of the enclosed burger and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information. Inside the box, the sandwich is further packaged in a plastic pouch.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Walgreens' frozen Cafe W Cheese Burger is a very tasty, high quality frozen burger that is what it claims to be. On a regular basis, I purchase and eat a wide variety of Walgreens' food products. All of their products, including this burger are consistently quite flavorful and above average in quality.

A wonderful item to keep in one's freezer for nights when you just don't feel like doing any real cooking, this cheese burger can be heated in less than two minutes. Available at Walgreens Pharmacies across America, the Walgreens Cafe W Cheese Burger is highly recommended by this food writer.
