    we went out to Hay Jay Cafe for brunch today and WOW. consider me a new regular here for both brunch & coffee. they have a whole specialty coffee bar. I got the coconut blossom latte with coconut, white mocha, & lavender for my meal, I got the breakfast philly bowl. OUTSTANDING. thin sliced steak, queso, peppers, onions, breakfast potatoes. and it came with different sauces I loved. biscuits & gravy were awesome too. my family loved all our meals. not only that, but we had great service. our waitress (I wish I knew her name!!!) was amazing & SO funny. we had so much fun together & that's one of my fav things about this being my hobby go check out hay jay!!!!!

    Caprese avocado toast
    Grace S.

    Great brunch spot for a big group! They were very accommodating of our group of 8! All the food was hot and yummy! My avocado toast came out without the caprese and the waitress was so nice and immediately corrected it! The espresso martinis were not my favorite but I also like a milkier martini and this was very dark! But the blueberry pancakes always steal the show at Hay Jay's! They bake the blueberries in and it's sweet and hot and so good!! They do have a good coffee bar that we didn't try so I will be stopping by again to check that out!

    Breakfast Burger

    My husband and I found Hay Jay's over the summer and have been here quite a few times after. We often have the same waiter who is incredibly kind and remembers us each time! I will update this review with his name next time we go. My husband loved his breakfast burger and I have enjoyed the eggs benedict and chocolate chip pancakes. I loved the white american omelette I had the first time but not as much the second time. I will have to try it again to see which time was the fluke. Overall great experience and great staff! Also very clean bathrooms with a changing table!

    Breakfast burrito
    Halle L.

    Stumbled upon this drive through coffee place as I needed a little pick me up for food. I got their potato burrito with salsa and it was fantastic. Will be going back to try their matcha soon! The staff was also very kind and informative!

    The food was so good! And quick service! The ambiance is nice and chill! They have games if you want to chill and play a game and there is art to look at

We arrived early to beat the rush and were seated right away, which was a great start to the morning. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive the entire time, making us feel very welcome. This location is beautiful inside. Very clean, bright, and full of natural light from the large windows. It created such a warm and inviting atmosphere. I was craving something sweet and ordered the Brioche French Toast. It was absolutely delicious and tasted so fresh. My husband ordered the GE Omelet and loved it (he literally left no crumbs!). For our toddler, we ordered the classic breakfast from the kids menu with scrambled eggs, hash brown, and sausage patty, and he enjoyed every bite. I also really appreciated that the kids menu included a dry erase marker so he could color on it. Such a fun touch that kept him entertained. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they surprised us with a fresh pop tart of our choice. We picked strawberry, and it was AMAZING. Honestly, I'm already looking forward to going back just to try another flavor. Overall, such a positive experience. Great food, excellent service, and a very friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend for breakfast or brunch!

When we got there they hadn't opened yet and there was a pretty good crowd already forming, waiting for them to open... Some might consider this a good thing. Lol One inside we were a bit disappointed, the ambiance was more like a fast food restaurant then a traditional sit down dinner establishment. We discovered that you had to place your order at the front and pay then get a pager to let you know when your order was ready. The restaurant did a fairly decent amount of to go take out orders, so the wait for our food was pretty long, around 30 minutes. We both ordered the cheese wheel pasta, a specialty in which the pasta is cooked and then tossed in an actual cheese wheel to get a nice, thick coating of cheese on it. I added a chicken parm and Ins to my order and my wife got just the pasta with mushrooms. When we got the page, the food was fresh and hot, made to order and the cheese sauce was fantastic. It came with a piece of Texas style toast, which would have been better if it had garlic butter on it, but it was ok, toasted nicely. We had to get our own silverware and napkins, most of the orders were served in to go take out boxes, except mine since it had a decent sized piece of chicken and sauce on it, it came on an actual plate. The food was excellent, definitely well made and high quality, tasted great and was a good amount, but the price point for the food and the fact that you had to bus your own table, get your own order like a take out place, and wait as long as we did for it, we didn't feel that it was the best value. We enjoyed the food, but we would advise to place a take out as opposed to sitting down to eat there, and we would recommend the pasta, even the cheese wheel, but the add ons did not seem to be worth the extra charge, in our opinion. We will go back for take out here again, the pasta was delicious.

My husband is a much harsher critic than I am, and he gave it a "rare 5.5 out of 5." The pancakes were some of the fluffiest I've ever had. They also have a great selection of coffee flavors to choose from, which was a fun bonus. The coffee paired perfectly with breakfast, though I probably wouldn't come here just for the coffee alone. The flavor was good but it did have a slight burnt taste. A quick note: you order at the counter before sitting down. It's a mix of self-serve and sit-down service. You order at the counter, grab your own silverware, and seat yourself, but they bring your food and drinks out to you (other than water). I do wish they were a bit more attentive about clearing finished plates during the meal. The restaurant was so busy that the line was out the door when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly fast. I was worried we wouldn't find a table, yet there were plenty of open seats available. The atmosphere is also really nice and cozy, making it a great spot to start your day.

We were surprised we ordered before sitting but I found that really nice actually. The woman working the front register seemed to be having a day, but as soon as my social butterfly of a child started being silly, the woman became a lot more friendly. After we ordered, we got a handheld order indicator and placed it on our chosen table. I got the churro French toast, my husband the breakfast sandwich with crispy potato's on the side, and then we ordered a side of bacon. French toast was fun. Crispy and crunchy, good with and without syrup. It had 3 triangles and it was easily shareable, but I understand if you don't want to haha. The breakfast sandwich was dense. We were surprised at how heavy it actually was. My husband said he liked the sage taste throughout the sausage, and he liked the aioli they had on it as well. The crispy potatos were different. Not bad, but lots of fried skin instead of actual potato. Bacon was good minus one obviously burnt piece that we asked the bar attendant if there was a way to fix it. She went to drop off someone's drink and came back with one properly cooked piece. She was wonderful. Overall, we'd come back, and we'd bring our friends

Their Griddled French Toast is also kept pretty simple, with a small dusting of powdered sugar, some strawberries and whip. Went well with their traditional syrup!

Definitely going to have to grab a few to-go next time.

One of the first major stops is all the antique malls in Walnut, IA. The wife mentioned that she would like me to find a bakery that served food. I thought I was the hero finding Milk & Honey - a farm to table bakery. The restaurant is in an old Ford dealership building next to a jui jujitsu place. You have to order 1st up front and then wait for them to deliver your food. The good: An excellent place to people watch. Both the employees and clientele. Interesting enough quite a diverse clientele. I ordered the sausage breakfast sandwich with a side of home fries with cheese, peppers and onions recommended by the lady who took our order. A great recommendation. When our food arrived it was hot and good. The bad: My wife wanted to sit outside. I wished I took her suggestion. It was hotter inside than outside. We waited 45 minutes for OU order. You don't want to be around my wife when she is hot and hungry.
