I actually visited this restaurant about a year ago, and wrote a review that day, but never got around to posting it. It's possible some things have changed since then. Clean, bright interior. 5 small tables, picnic table, 6 stools along windows. 1 table with 4 large comfy-looking chairs around it. Perfect for old friends to sit around and drink coffee and laugh. Smiling young gentleman greeted me from behind counter, directed me toward menu. Made me feel welcome. This turned out to be a recurring theme. Every guest was warmly greeted by both this young man and the older gentleman who was working at a laptop, and then later behind the counter. Sometimes, you can just tell that people are in the right business. These two seemed happy to be here, run a clean, welcoming spot, and appear genuinely delighted to share their excellent food with whoever happens to come into their restaurant. I suspect these folks could run any business well, but I'm happy they decided to run this restaurant. Five big, happy stars! Bread for the toast was wheat, delicious, perfectly toasted. Spicy Baja Omelette. Choice of soy or regular chorizo. Got soy. Great flavor. Perfect amount of spice, omelette perfectly cooked. Just enough avocado on top, but off to one side so you remove it if you didn't want it. Like a crazy person! Orange sauce was bright, fruity, hint of spice. Ideal complement to omelette. Potatoes not overly spiced, come with a bit of green and red bell pepper. Perhaps not memorable, but perfectly acceptable. As I was leaving, the younger gentleman made sure to ask me how I enjoyed everything. I assured him that it was wonderful, and said that it was obvious that both he and the older gentleman took a lot of pride in the restaurant. The older gentleman overheard me, and said "who, me or him?" Both of you, I said. I take more pride in it than he does, the older gentleman said. If you are reading this, sir, trust me, that young gentleman absolutely takes pride in the restaurant. It came through in every interaction I had with him. thank you both for a truly enjoyable experience. read more

Jane's is the definition of a true hidden gem: It's tucked away in an office building with minimal signage, to be found only by those who work in the building and a select few who know what's up (I heard about it from a friend of a friend). I almost feel like I shouldn't be writing a review lest I give away the secret, but I want to help ensure they're getting the business they deserve! Most customers are office workers stopping in to grab breakfast or lunch during the workday, which means there's plenty of seating for those of us looking for a spot for remote work. The staff are very kind, friendly, and efficient. The vibe is usually the perfect balance of quiet without being too quiet (if you work from a lot of coffee shops, you probably know what I mean). And best of all, there's any extensive selection of drinks and food! Everything I've tried so far has been delicious. I'm an especially big fan of the Mexican breakfast items (breakfast is served all day). Come to Jane's and see for yourself! read more

This is a small deli food option within a business building. It was bright and clean with a small eating area. There were several prepackaged food options as well as some cooked to order meal options. I had a high protein yogurt drink and a packed cheese and grape option. DH had scrambled eggs with bacon and seasoned potatoes. The coffee was okay. read more

A nice place for a fast fresh breakfast with healthy options. My egg scramble was delicious. Coffee is wonderful. Staff was also very friendly and helpful. Not a lot of signage to find the place, but it's on the bottom floor in the back corner of the big business building. Cute little gem read more

I've been coming to Jane's for 8 years now- whenever I visit Mission Valley it's a stop I have to make! The smoothies are excellent, your support is appreciated, prices are unbelievably reasonable and the food is prepared by caring staff. Just off the beaten path you'll find Jane's tucked in the back of a commercial building. The atmosphere is light, bright and inviting. read more

HIDDEN GEM in the lobby of a Business Tower!! We arrived at 7:00am, and were confused because there is NO SIGNAGE until you go around the back. So you pull into the business parking lot across from the hotel, drive around back and you will be at the entrance. If you arrive early, you will not be able to enter the building without a key card. At 7am the door will electronically unlock and you can enter. There is a seating area outside as well. The breakfast area is very clean and modern. The menu covers all the great breakfast options like waffles and eggs and many sandwiches. The coffee options were also excellent. The waffle machine was broken, but I did get a great set of pancakes with eggs and 4 slices of BACON! Everywhere else they only give 2. Very tasty and great. Not really any table service, but they will call you and come out if you need something. Condiments are to the right of the counter. Bathrooms are (not) maintained by the business tower. They are modern and clean, but there was some build up of issues which may get out of hand and the signoff sheet had not been signed off in about 3 weeks. I know someone must at least refill supplies, but I doubt it is receiving attention. This is not the restaurant's area, but they should also monitor. Also the back of the business tower, facing the stacks of underside of highways, and a drainage tunnel. There is fencing to keep unhoused from coming into the business area, but it is still visible. Not an issue, but you should be aware. read more

Jane's Cafe - Alaskan Avocado Toast and Pancake Combo - Cafes Near Me - San Diego, California

Hidden away on the backside/east side of Tower 591, this is a gem hidden in West Mission Valley! Who knew this was here?! Walk through the back door of the corporate office building to find open living room and table style seating With open counter and cold cases from which to order. Fantastic selection of fresh pressed juices, smoothies, coffees, teas, cocos, and other great drinks. Full breakfast and lunch menu with both hot and cold options for this cute café, I wouldn't even call it a coffee shop. Breakfast ranges from bagels and breakfast sandwiches to pancakes, waffles, and French toast to omelettes and egg, dishes and avocado, toast, açai, bowls, oatmeal, granola and yogurt and fresh fruit. Lunch ranges from salmon and grilled chicken to high-quality deli meat and cheese sandwiches, fresh Vegetable salads with proteins, added, shrimp, ceviche, and more. Limited parking out the back entrance but ample parking at the front entrance to the building. I only stopped here for a coffee to go and ended up ordering a beautiful egg and avocado toast and took a great fruit salad and salmon. Greek salad to go for later! Friendly staff, orders get out quickly, but sometimes not the entire order all at once. You'll be given a number which will be called to pick up your order or Portioned out pieces of your order. TV available in the café. Prices are definitely less expensive than coffee shops down the block food and beverage quality and atmosphere is spot on. It may be a little out of your way or feel a little odd to visit an office building For an office building café, but it's worth it! The day I came there were lots of older high school/young college aged students, families with kids, business people, people off work, a nice menagerie. It's not a typical stuffy office building coffee shop/café, it's inviting and good to go. read more

Great experience ordering through uber eats! Got the Atlantic salmon omelet with a side of fruit. The omelet was great - lots of salmon and also arrived hot which was appreciated. The side of fruit probably wasn't worthwhile - mostly unripe melon. But overall would order again. read more

Needing a place to work remotely while in the San Diego area, we found Jane's Cafe. What a hidden gem! Food was delicious and the coffee was tasty. The cafe itself sits on the bottom floor of the TD Ameritrade building. The staff were energetic and friendly. We stayed for about 2-3 hours. They had outlets and WiFi for those needing to get some work done. Definitely a great place to have a coffee, a bit to eat and get some work done! read more

A very unassuming location. Carnitas breakfast burrito was stuffed with egg and the açaí bowl was tasty. Both were good.

Jane's is such a difficult place to review for me. The service is wonderful in the sense that the employees are very warm and welcoming. They will give you all the advice you need on figuring out what to order, but they will also mess it up about 75% of the time. They have no problem redoing it which I appreciate but it is frustrating. Their smoothies are delicious and all their baked goods are yummy too! read more

Delicious breakfast! Loved the vibe. Not easy to find but don't give up! Omelettes & French toast - amazing! read more

This place is awesome! It is hidden in an office lobby but the prices are really good. They have good sized drinks and coffees that are mostly under six dollars and their most expensive item as of when I last went was fifteen dollars. It is a good breakfast or lunch place with sweet Belgian waffles and pancakes or savory breakfast paninis and salads. Service is good and there aren't a lot of workers so I am impressed. It's cozy and nice and rarely crowded. The workers are always super nice and it's a bit of a drive to mission valley but it is so worth it! read more

Why is this so highly rated?? It's cafeteria food nothing special nothing great it was just not worth the hype

The gentleman that helped us out was so friendly! The food was amazing & the cookies were some of the best I've had in a long time! Their high rating is well deserved. 10/10 :)) read more

We came to this little cute cafe while in town for breakfast one morning. It's located in the downstairs area of an office building. The cashier was friendly and we all ordered a different combo. I personally got the French toast combo which came with scrambled eggs and chose of meat. The food was good minus the eggs they was meh. Food was also served on paper plates. I left full so it was ok. read more

Visited this place while at a conference at Town and Country hotel based on Yelp reviews. This place seemed a tad different because it's located inside of a business tower.

I love this place so much! Their salads, sandwiches, and grab and go meals are better than fancy restaraunts. I love their asian salad, it is so delicious. I also really love their bagel lox and the pastries and not to forget their lattes. The owners are incredibly sweet and accommodating. The vibe here is super relaxing and spacious and has pretty furniture and decor. This is my favorite little place to grab a bite to eat. read more

Very good restaurant to order food to go or delivery. We discovered this hidden gem on Uber East, we usually do delivery and sometimes pick it up. So far we had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo (8 out of 10), salmon burger (7 out of 10), strawberries chicken salad with feta (8 out of 10), side salad (7 out of 10), chicken pesto spinach wrapped (9 out of 10), California burrito (6 out of 10) l, French toast combo with eggs, sausage and house potatoes (9 out of 10!), chicken pesto pasta (9 out of 10) My co worker always gear toward the chicken pesto pasta with extra chicken. It is so flavorful and last us a couple of days. Everything was made super fresh! The portions are huge! The prices is very good and affordable. Great staff working there, they are very good at communicating if they don't have something you're looking for. read more

Like many, I was confused when this place popped up as a breakfast option based on the location. Why hadn't I seen it before? Because it's in the lobby of the TD Ameritrade office building. I decided to give it a try. Lots of parking and easy to get to. There were a lot of people there and it looked like many regulars. Staff was very friendly and courteous. I enjoyed my lox bagel and picked up a breakfast bagel for my husband to. Great pricing for large portions. read more

Jane's Cafe - Lox Bagel - Cafes Near Me - San Diego, California

Affordable. Love everything we ordered. Staff are nice. Nice ambiance even if its inside a corporate building.

I really wanted to like this place given the reviews and the sweet older gentleman who took my order (I assume he's the owner) and the comfy vibes. I order the carne asada breakfast burrito, which came with rice and refried beans. Unfortunately the carne asada meat was extremely chewy and tasted like it had been sitting in a fridge for a while. The gentleman offered to replace it with another dish, so I got the huevos rancheros. What was brought out to me was a splattered mess of three uncooked corn tortillas with fried eggs absolutely covered in red enchiladas sauce with some refried bean paste and hints of melted cheese and slab of sour cream on top. I'm sure they do a few good dishes here and maybe I just got unlucky but given the experience I doubt I'll ever come back. read more

Delicious! I mean DELICIOUS FOOD. Interaction with ordering and pick up were lovely. The staff are so kind and friendly. I had the pesto chicken, my husband had the tuna melt with seasoned potatoes. You must give this place a try. The açaí bowl was yummy. I really appreciate that the food is reasonably priced as well. read more

Been here a few times now in the last couple months and the food and the service have been a hit each visit. The café area is pretty spacious and not ever really that crowded with the people who work in the building from my experience which is nice. The service is also very friendly and welcoming and they definitely make their coffee and food items fresh. Their Americanos and Lattes are made pretty well and at reasonable prices especially compared to other places in the area. Their food items are pretty good including their bagels and especially their breakfast burritos; the Machacha burrito in particular is great and is a pretty decent portion. I feel that they make a more quality breakfast burrito than all of the chain taco shops in Mission Valley. The are only open M-F so if you're working from home or on the go it's a great place to do a pickup and start your day with. read more

The café is on the main floor of an office building, near a freeway. I ordered a side of French Toast, which was pretty good! Besides the butter being really cold and the syrup being an inexpensive/off brand, the French Toast was still good! I also ordered the Mexican Omelet with shredded beef-WOW! I was not expecting it to be so flavorful. The Omelet was definitely one of the best I've ever had!!! Finally, I got the Chai Tea, which was VERY sweet, despite all of the ice put into the drink. I spent close to $26 for everything. I definitely wouldn't mind coming here, again. read more

Service was amazing. Both gals who served us were so sweet. The drinks were delicious and the food was good for the area. I am a fan of authentic Mexican but do not mind non authentic Mexican. If I came into the area again I'd stop for the avocado toast. It was delicious and got them their fourth star. Also not pictured was their bagel which was amazing. It's a quiet little spot inside a corporate style building. read more

I was looking for a place to eat breakfast and kill some time in MV. Jane's popped up with a 5-star rating and I made my way there. As other reviewers mentioned it is in an office building (I believe it's called Tower 591) and entry is through the back of the building. Plenty of parking and easy cafe access right from the parking lot. A LOVELY woman with very kind energy took my breakfast order. She was accommodating and confirmed they could make me a dairy free breakfast . I ordered the traditional breakfast plate with sausage, scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes. I also ordered a banana and an oat milk latte. They use Monin brand syrup in their lattes, though I did not order a sweetened coffee. I was there at 930a on a Monday and there were only a handful of people in the cafe. And another handful of people in and out ordering and picking up takeout orders. They were steadily working. Customer Service: First in class hospitality. I'd come back just to give Jane a hug. Ambiance: it's in an office building lobby but the it's BRAND NEW, modern, comfy furniture. It's also cozy and welcoming, and very clean. This would be a great place to study or bring your laptop and get some work done. Food: Definitely grab and go/casual quality but also seemed to be made with a lot of love. Big portions. I did not have a bagel but they looked divine! Price: Prices seemed very reasonable by todays standards. My latte was HUGE. My order total was right around $20. I asked the nice woman working what her name was and she let me know, "Jane" she seemed to really enjoy interacting with people, she knew peoples names who came in, and was incredibly warm. I'd come back if even just to see her. Love supporting a local business. Definitely recommend this off the beaten path little gem. read more
