    Really good service is the hallmark of this place as are the pancakes. We tried the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry jam. They were very good - served hot and fresh, light and thin. While the flavor is the same as a regular pancake, the thinness was unique. We ate the chorizo scramble which was hearty and savory. Lattes were great! Friendly service and good, down home feel.

    Delicious breakfast in Moab! The ginger pancakes with the apple butter was phenomenal and the Benedict was flavorful. Even without a side of sausage or eggs, the pancakes were very filling. The tea was just Tazo, which was good but I was hoping for lose leaf for the price. Service was quick and the venue was quite charming. I appreciated that even in the new wing, they stayed true to the historic house with a metal relief ceiling nice touch.

    Wow! This place is amazing! The restaurant is super cute. They also have some cute merch! Our service was fantastic!! I tried their eggs Benedict and WOW. So buttery and flavorful. This spot is a must in moab!

    Chorizo burrito

    Great place to fuel up before hitting the Arches National Park. The chorizo burrito was hearty without being too heavy. The potatoes were great too with a southwest seasoning. Coffee was also very good. Others at the table enjoyed their meals as well. Not too long of a wait and service was good.

    This cute little breakfast place was the perfect end to my Moab trip. A classic American style breakfast joint. I got a hot latte and the eggs florentine, both were great. My cousin got buttermilk pancakes and she loved them, super fluffy! They had lots of servers working, so we didn't wait long for our food and drinks. There was a short wait on a Sunday morning, but they still got us seated quickly. Awesome place!

    Chorizo eggs Benedict
    Stacey K.

    I saw best eggs Benedict claim here so I decided to try it since I am an eggs Benedict snob. I came at 10 am and was seated immediately, there was no line. The ambiance is cute coffee shop with a little feel of a diner. Server came right the way and I ordered macchiato coffee and the chorizo eggs Benedict. Coffee came right the way and it was absolutely delicious, great aroma and nice low acidity. The meal came shortly after with potatoes. I asked for extra hollandaise sauce as the chorizo was a little overpowering and I couldn't taste it and I love some good hollandaise. Ok hands down I have to say the hollandaise sauce was amazing. Light and fresh, perfect amount of spiciness and no cheating with flour. If you love eggs Benedict like me, there were 3 choices and if you love chorizo you have to try this ones!

    The Jailhouse cafe is a true historic site to Moab. Its menu consists of a Santa Fe flavor in its western style breakfast menu. The staff were really nice and friendly. They don't make you feel rushed to finish your meal, although busy. The Jailhouse has a bit of seating but there is additional seating that is covered outdoors. This is perfect for an early bird since it's open early in the morning and they close around 2pm for the day.

    Adorable restaurant inside and out, excellent service and I had outstanding chorizo Benedict for breakfast. Their potatoes were cooked to perfection.

    Eggs, Sausage and toast
    J Warren R.

    We got there as they opened, and it was full by the time we left. Tip: Go early or expect a wait. The food was great. Comforting and a lot of it. Eggs cooked as requested and the sausage serving was huge. (almost too much). Good home fries. Hot coffee. Superb, prompt, friendly service. Nothing fancy here -- just a good breakfast spot in a historic spot right on Main Street is well worth a visit when visiting Moab.

    Eggs Benedict/iced latte/ side buttermilk pancake

    UPDATE: my husband saw a waiter pour someone else's left over coffee in the coffee pot!!!!!!! Food was classic American breakfast type, potato's could have been cooked longer were kinda hard. Other than that pretty good and basic. Services was not as good as the food. I believe we were racially profiled because tell me why our server was not very kind to us the table not 2 feet away she was way more friendly. Maybe she was having a bad day and I just continued to thank her for taking care of us but was continuously ignored. Cute little area needs some music in the more open part. Was very awkward and way too quiet.

    To me the breakfast was just OK, potatoes were very greasy. The soul food bacon was thick but really just ordinary bacon. Good service.

    Do owners know Yelp says it's open in November when Facebook page says closed until March for the season?

    The Jailhouse Cafe is open March to Mid November (depending on weather)

    So it says it is opened at 6:30am on Yelp, does the owners know that because they say they open at 7am.....?

    Yelp seems to have changed the opening time to 7

    This is one of the breakfast locations in Moab that is rated highly so we came here around 8:30am…read moreon a Wednesday. There are 2 dining areas inside - head over to the hostess stand and get your name added to the list on their automated system. You will be texted when your seat is ready and you can watch your status as you wait thru the url texted to you when you first check in. I loved knowing where we were in line at any time - very efficient. We were seated in 6 minutes and our server greeted us shortly after. We ordered regular coffee, the Cinnamon Roll (it's huge) and the Waffle meal which included eggs and bacon and we added fruit. The coffees came right away followed by the cinnamon roll. We had a few minutes to enjoy that when our breakfast arrived. Everything tasted great! The cinnamon roll did not have frosting on it but that was okay because there was a lot of cinnamon sugar in its layers. The waffles are not real Belgian but they were fresh, light, and fluffy. The bacon is super thick - very tasty. The restaurant decor looks fairly recent and the vibe is casual and laid back. Come as you are and enjoy a great breakfast!

    Good food (not great, but above average) Good service (not…read moreoverly friendly but reasonably efficient) Bustling loud place that tends to get a line of customers even on a weekday We had a waffle, pancake, and four cheese omelette. All were good or very good.
