    I was staying nearby and popped in here for Sunday breakfast because it was convenient, and I'm…read moreglad I did. The cafe itself is modern, clean and fresh, music was perfect for a Sunday morning and not too intrusive. The service was polite, friendly and efficient and no one was trying too hard to be cool. I was seated straight away and soon ordered the Vegemite Rarebit. When it arrived, I was delighted with the Australian twist on the Welsh classic and scarfed it down. A takeaway coffee to go (nicely made) and I left a happy customer. Only one minor gripe, being seated at the end of the bench table meant an icy blast of air every time the door opened, but to be fair was exacerbated by my own lack of layers!

It is a gorgeous bright open and airy cafe with a fantastic breakfast and lunch menu. On my visit I had their chicken burger and it was crispy without being too dry and had the right balance of salad to chicken so I almost walked away thinking it could have been a health food. Service was friendly and fast and they were more than happy to pack up my leftovers to go which I really love as I am a bit of a small eater. Jack B Nimble is not open for dinners but I would definitely put it on my to brunch list out west

Firstly we were told to sit and someone will come to us we waited and waited and waited no one came however when someone finally came she served the lady next to us who came after us we felt special... The same waitress then continued to talk with other patrons near us for around 15 minutes she can't be to busy... The food was bland overpriced very average at best we frequent many other places in the area that are so much better with food and service not sure how you have a 4.5 score I give you a 1 at best. If you're looking for nice food and good service try anywhere else but this place. I leave good reviews when I have a good experience and a negative review if I have a poor experience I have to say it's little wonder your business is poorly run when the owner can't even handle feedback your unprofessional reply pretty much sums up my negative feedback. ***UPDATE*** After meeting with the owner in person, he still failed to address any of the issues I raised online. I was told that I should have raised the issues when we were asked how the meal was. Maybe because we weren't asked! The staff member already knew we weren't happy with the service, and had no interest in asking. Just a heads up to anyone looking to try this place - the owner told me that negative Google reviews are only used by people wanting freebies. He has no interest in making any changes.

    Never dissapoint. Amazing customer service. Friendly staff…read more Food is incredible. Try the brekkie burger. Patty is succulent and cooked perfectly. Burger stays together while you eat it. Very filling. Coffee is hot and you can tell they extract it to the perfect time. Never had a bad coffee from this place.

I myself can't eat it due to dietary restrictions but my French dude was really stoked to try it. We rocked to the little cafe around 1pm and it was chock a block full of lunching mums. No inside seats were left so we grabbed a table out front. Service was a bit slow but it was busy and they were friendly throughout. We ordered two decent if standard coffees and the steak tartare (for him), the Chapin breakfast (for me). Sadly, I wasn't impressed. The tartare was ok, if missing the raw egg that is essential in a French bistro. My breakfast, on the other hand was really disappointing. I had been happy to see plantains on the menu...you never see them in Melbourne. I'm used to having them sweeter, with an almost candied tang. These were a bit starchier and blander than I liked. I'm not sure if it was the cooking technique or if Brother Nancy is serving up a different type of plantain but it wasn't great. The plantains were served with very nice, fluffy pile of scrambled eggs, some very under seasoned black beans, and a dense, greasy piece of toast. It was all very heavy, bland, and unexciting. They're aiming for South American but there was no spice, no tangy salsa to enliven it, no fresh tortillas. It just failed utterly and at 16 dollars, was the most expensive item on the menu. No thanks. I'm not in any rush to return here. A shame, as this part of town deserves a good cafe.
