    The service here was quite good. The food was above average, but not anything crazy. It was very busy when we went but we also didn't have to wait too long.

    Jensen's Cafe is a warm, cozy place. When you enter and the place is busy, they take your name and tell you how long the wait will be. They say to take a seat outside (where they have several benches and your name will be called on the loud speaker. They were spot on with the time and did announce that our table was ready. The menu consists of breakfast and lunch. There are a great number of choices. Although they have markings to indicate that dishes are gluten free or vegetarian, beware. When offering drinks, I asked about the kind of teas they had. Too bad they don't even have an herbal tea on the list. I ordered the thick bacon and eggs. The bacon was really good. The eggs were perfect. However, I asked about replacing the potatoes with the fruit. Because of allergies, I asked what kind of fruit they serve. I expected a surcharge to change to fruit. I was not told that there would be an extra surcharge to leave out my allergy fruit and go with only one kind. This was bad on the part of the server. They only had two choices of bread and no choice of gluten free bread. That severely limits the choices of someone sensitive to gluten. My husband ordered the Harvest Scramble. Luckily, they were able to leave out the green peppers. Interesting that so many dishes had green peppers in them. He enjoyed the eggs, but ordered the fruit, instead of potatoes. He said he would like the fruit mixture which had melons, pineapple and one blackberry. He ordered the wheat toast which he said was not memorable. All in all, we enjoyed the experience with a number of flaws. They need to tighten up their menu and make sure that people with special nutritional needs are attended to carefully.

    Lemon ricotta pancakes with candied bacon- GET THE CANDIED BACON! Thick, sweet, salty, sticky soooo good!

    This was my second time coming to Jensen's and I gotta say: I'm still a fan! There is a free parking ramp, go there to park :) We came on a very busy Saturday (definitely tells you the food is good!) We had about a 20 minute wait, not bad at all! There is a little shop by this place that you can check out while you're waiting! Or there are lots of benches to sit. We were greeted and brought to our table. The waiter came promptly and given how busy it was, did a nice job of keeping up! The decor reminds me of going back in time. Very relaxed, home kind of feeling. I got the lemon ricotta pancakes. While they tasted pretty good, I did feel they were a tad dry. The sauce that comes with definitely helped, but I probably should have asked for a bit more. The sauce was lemon flavored and was very tasty! In my opinion the start of the show was the candied bacon! Thick, sweet, sticky, salty and soooo good! Don't miss out on it! My friend had the stuffed French toast and that was also AMAZING!! My boys devoured their pancakes! I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back again to try other items

    My family and I decided to have breakfast on a Saturday early afternoon. Parking closest to the restaurant is limited, but there's also a free parking ramp not too far away. The wait was about 35-40 minutes to seat four people. Once seated, our waitress was on top of things the entire time--from drinks to taking orders and handling special requests. The food came out quickly and was fresh. The breakfast potatoes are so good! Again, our waitress stayed on top of everything, and we were out within 1.5 hours of being seated. This is one of our favorite breakfast spots. Although we almost always have to wait, the food makes up for it.

    Second time coming here, and it was even better than the first. My son comes here often and raves about the place. Each time I have visited on a weekend morning, the restaurant has been packed. There is usually a wait if you want a table in the regular dining room, but if you ask for the bar area you tend to get seated right away. In the bar, you can either sit at the counter or at one of the tables. This time we were at a table, which I prefer. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Melissa does a fantastic job, super friendly, helpful with the menu, and a real professional at keeping track of orders, checking in, and clearing plates. They should clone her. This time we tried a mix of different items: the breakfast burrito, pigs in a blanket, enchiladas, and pancakes. It didn't take long for everything to come out, and all of it was hot, nicely presented, flavorful, and generous in portion size. (Last time I had the baked omelet, and that was a disappointment.) The pancakes were the table favorite, fluffy with a unique and subtle flavor. Definitely one of our favorite spots for reliable breakfast classics.

    Getting into the restaurant was actually more challenging than expected; it literally took me 3 doors before I got it right!! However, the food and service did not disappoint. I had the country fried steak and eggs and my family ordered a waffle and omelette. Every one was pleased. The outdoor seating actually gave the ambiance a much needed boost, Parking is plenty with the FREE ramp nearby. We went here for a birthday brunch

    This place was so busy and I could see why. This was my first time. I had an omelet with shredded chicken and veggies inside. EXCELLENT choice!! The cheesy hash browns were a delight to eat as well. Pancakes were through the roof with their house-made maple butter syrup. Even the coffee was strong and robust. I'll be going back for certain. I loved the style of the restaurant. To know I worked not far from here is insane. Easily a best kept secret in the Twin Cities.

    breakfast at Jensen's in Burnsville Minnesota. I loved it

    My husband and I went there during our 4th July holiday. I had always thought I would go there and never did what a fantastic place to have some breakfast. I loved every bit of it. The service was impeccable. The food was phenomenal! I will definitely tell my friends and family, and we will definitely be eating there again!!

    Roast beef and burgers were great. Fries were served fresh. They use real potatoes. Check out the menu attached. They have variety of options. You can order at the counter, take your number and bring it to your seat. There is ample parking so no need to worry about parking your car.

    Biscuits and Gravy

    Every good town needs a trustworthy cafe for a weekend brunch and Jensen's is Burnsville's tried and true! Small parking lot outside, but we've been lucky to always find a spot when we've gone! Big dining room but fills up quickly on the weekends. Get there early or expect a small wait. We were lucky enough to snag a bar area high top on our latest trip! Service is alright...they are frequently very busy so servers can be overwhelmed, but it hasn't negatively impacted our experience. The food is lovely!! Traditional brunch foods with a bit of class... definitely not greasy, diner breakfast! I've usually stuck with the Biscuits and Gravy, which are yummy! Do yourself a favor and always upgrade to the cheesy hash browns...you won't be upset ;)

    French Toast
    Nicole C.

    Looking for delicious French toast? Jensen's has it! Substantial slices, soaked in amazing custardy egg goodness and cooked to perfection. SO delicious! Eggs, bacon and sausage were good as well but a bit in the small side portion wise. Husband had a screwdriver, I had the greyhound- not sure the juices were actual fruit juices. Service was fabulous. Would go back just for the French toast.

    Can I get breakfast all day?

    Pretty sure you can get some breakfast items all day(I got French toast in the afternoon once. But full breakfast menu I'm not sure. Call them it look at their menu online, it should list the hours.

    Cafe de Paris - Waffle croissant

    Honestly, I didn't think the place would live up to what I had seen ahead of time. The croissants…read morewere fantastic! I only stopped at the counter, checked out the offerings, and picked up a few things to go. The place was nice and charming but the seating didn't look too comfortable. Listen, it's not about the chairs. This is a gem of a cafe with excellent baked goodies and desserts. Indulge and enjoy!

    Decided to give this place a try after being in the area. Quick review: Food was VERY tasty!…read moreService and ambiance... definitely lacking.... I walked in and saw you could either order on a large touch screen on with a person at the front. I don't mind touch screens, so I went to start my order. The problem is that there are no pictures... so you're not 100% sure what you are ordering. I stopped the order and walked over to the case to order with the employee instead. There was one woman in front of me and she got her items quickly. I ordered 5 items. (See pic below) All of them were fantastic! I really do judge a place by how well they can do a croissant, and this place does them very well!! The employees were very polite but for some reason my order took almost 15 mins to fill... I watched them pull the items from the case, so I'm not sure why it took them so long to do the order. There was only one other person who ordered after me and she had a drink and a box of pastries too... she received her items first. As for the space, it is bland and feels like an old Carribou coffee.... There really wasn't anything that felt "Paris or French" here. Very bland and not very cozy. If you plan on going(the food was very good) order it to go...
