What a hidden treasure! Excellent food and service. It reminded me of having a quaint brunch at the home of friend. I would recommend stopping by this place. read more

Came from a distance to meet up with family for brunch..... Jack's Cafe surpassed all expectations. First of all the place is adorable inside and super clean... menu has lots to offer... we had some breakfast and lunch takers in our group and everyone left full and very satisfied. If possible to supersede the atmosphere and food... the owners are absolutely delightful! We need more Jacks and more Mariannes in this world... as genuine and kind as they come! We will def be back! read more

Cute place. I walked in and I went behind the counter lol. The lady was hilarious. Their bagels had a lovely crunch to it soft in the inside. The chicken noodle helped with a cold. I love it. Thank you! read more

We are so happy to be back in NJ so we can go to our favorite breakfast spot Jacks Cafe. My family and I went there for our breakfast today and it was absolutely delicious. My Mom is still talking about how good her breakfast was. Jack and Marianne are so nice and friendly they make us feel right at home. The service is fantastic and always served with a smile. The restaurant is very nice inside and has a great welcoming feel. We loved the food so much we are already planning to go back again before we go back home to Arizona. This is a place you definitely want to try! read more

Prior to heading to Verona Park we were searching for a spot to enjoy a nice breakfast with the kids. We were seated promptly in the back by the super nice and friendly staff. It's not a huge place but there are a few tables along with a long counter (no alcohol) to seat more peeps. They have your usual breakfast foods - pancakes, French toast, bacon, eggs and so on. We decided on a pancake and French toast combo (comes with meat and eggs). The food was good but the staff made it even better. Their coffee was delicious! Prices are really reasonable and they allowed us to sub plain pancakes with blueberry ones...score! Enjoy! read more

The food was good and fresh . The owners wife was extremely funny and pleasant. We literally enjoyed our delicious breakfast with a side of comedy show . Can't wait to go back soon read more

Love this place. Kind of like an old fashion lunchenett. Friendly and relaxed atmosphere. My meal was delicious .

The best chicken soup on this earth! Very friendly diner/café. I have never had a meal here that disappointed me.

The staff was helpful and made us feel comfortable and at home right away. I'd come back for the good vibes alone. I had the breakfast burrito special and I thoroughly enjoyed it, if it was a little small. My wife had the avocado toast and it was good with perfectly cooked over-medium eggs. Genuinely nice, friendly staff make this little place a gem. read more

We tried this place for the first time over the weekend with a breakfast catering order. We are so glad we did! The restaurant was extremely accommodating and the food was delicious. When I went to pick the order up, every single staff member from the servers to the kitchen staff greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcomed. We'll definitely be regulars here- you should be, too! read more

Visited this place for the first time and it will not be my last. I had the eggs Benedict with the arugula, which was not bitter. The hollandaise sauce was also perfect. Good coffee. I wouldn't actually call this place a caffe, but rather a small diner. They do not have any other coffee except the basic American coffee and no morning pastry of any kind that a cafe would carry. Also place has street parking only. read more

Love this place for all the right reasons. The food, the atmosphere snd the neighborhood vibe . Should be called Jack's caring cafe.

Delicious bacon egg & cheese on a roll. Great looking breakfast menu & specials. Yummy iced coffee with vanilla. Felt very welcomed & well fed! read more

So I finally found a place that has great eggs Benedict. I added avocado and they didn't charge me extra they were the perfect size not too large not too small and I got the potatoes on the side. Ask for extra crispy because they are definitely not. If you like extra crispy like I do. I'm hoping this place to remember it because I have to come back to New Jersey next spring. And it's been very hard to find a really good breakfast place that's a fair price. This place was also very clean and very friendly staff. Normally we eat breakfast in our hotel but it gets old because they don't change any of the food ever always the same every morning. So keeping a list of restaurants that are good and not so good for the next time I come back. However I don't yelp every restaurant I go to because they may be Papa with somebody else but they just weren't that good for me. read more

Bacon egg and cheese was very good, the banana chocolate chip pancakes were also very good, the service is fast and it's overall a very good place. read more

A friendly mom and pop breakfast place with nice people that make you feel at home . The place is quiet and the food is good, love the home fries here ! read more

Just a regular place for breakfast. Nothing special. Most places serve french toast with thick bread , Here it was, just white slice bread. Other breakfast dishes were ok and little overpriced. Been to much better places . read more

We walked into Jack's to have breakfast. It was like walking into a relative's house. We were welcomed in by Marianne. She was friendly and courteous with a great personality. We had the best chocolate chip pancakes and taylor ham I have ever had. The chocolate milk was definitely great. She checked on us a lot and Jack came out from the back to see how the food was. It is definitely rare to find a place with this kind of caring for every customer. We have now found our breakfast spot. read more

We've been in the area for many years and wished we had found Jack's sooner! This is hands down our favorite breakfast and lunch place around! My family is welcomed like family each and every time. The food is incredible! The oatmeal is my absolute favorite and my husband and I both love the Jack's Eggs Benedict. My kids love the chocolate chip pancakes and the French toast. Be sure to come before 2 and enjoy a great meal! read more

Small mom and pop restaurant. The food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Everything on the menu is fantastic and the only thing better than the food is the service and attitude of Jack and his staff. Absolutely love this place and hit them up at least once per week. Tuna melt is one of the best I've had. They know their soups, too. read more

Really looking forward to the homemade corned beef hash and plan on ordering it next weekend with my breakfast. The chicken salad was also excellent in my last order. It came with dried cranberries and some sort of seeds sprinkled on top of it served over arugula. The spinach eggs benedict is very good. I've ordered it with mushrooms and garlic mixed with the spinach and it really was to die for. It's served with home maid holandaise sauce and home fries. read more

Wonderful neighborhood spot! Feels like family every time you go there. Amazing soups and paninis in particular. The Regina Panini is outstanding! True locals spot read more

Went here for a nice breakfast meal. The owners were very nice and came over to talk to us and make sure our meal was well prepared. This is a family run restaurant with a friendly environment.
