    When in Valpo, ask 10 people and at least half of them will point you to Jimmy's for breakfast and/or brunch. I finally gave it a try. Jimmy's is a family-run diner with the standard breakfast fare offered at economical prices. The place is tiny and there is only one server. Our table of six waited 15 minutes for a table and another 15 minutes to place our orders. There was also a long lag in food delivery. Needless to say, our experience was heavily shadowed by this waiting game. Fortunately, this is Valpo and street parking is free. Otherwise, that would've been a hefty parking fee in the big city. I had the standard breakfast of egg, sausage links, hash brown, and toast. Everything was well made. The hash brown was particularly pleasing. The top layer was excellently pan-fried to golden brown with a slight crisp whereas the bottom layer was soft and warm. One of my friends had the gryo omelette. It's not the usual breakfast entree but it was unique and surprisingly tasty. Despite the disappointment with the slow service, most of us enjoyed our entrees. Every plate was cleared down to the last few pieces of crumbs.

    Ham & cheese omelette, toast, hash browns, french toast

    We had breakfast here and for three people it was $28.78. We did not order any drinks or anything special. This is a Greek style restaurant

    Was there at 5 am... they weren't. Suggest changing your opening time as a courtesy to when you actually open.

    Genius level name! Where is the perfect cult status Christmas romcom featuring this book nook roast…read moreroost and two cute individuals who couldn't be more opposite yet fall in love between some pages and espresso? I wish I had had time to browse and pretend I read more than Lord of the Rings every two years. Could complain it's tiny, but duh, no one wants a Barns and Noble next to the courthouse, pint perfect size however please don't bring more than two kids. I wish I could've tried the whole menu too, need flights please! Did go for a cereal milk latte that tingled good vibes and set off spring tide for my trip back to Lafayette.

    First of all: The entrance doesn't seem very accessible, so wheelchair users and people with…read morestrollers might have a hard time getting inside. There are two doors and a step in between, and even I had to maneuver my way in and out. Just an FYI. The Press has a coffee shop inside of it. How nice! I didn't partake because the line was long, but the coffee smelled amazing. What a pleasant thing to be a bookstore that's also a coffee shop. There are some cozy couches and tables here and there among the stacks of books. I suppose you could take your cup of coffee and curl up on a couch or chair, because I saw one person doing that. But mostly: This is a bookstore, not so much a coffee shop or place to lounge. So I wouldn't visit with the intention of posting up and working for a few hours. This doesn't seem like that kind of place. Again, it's a bookstore first, a coffee shop second, a place to lounge third. Although The Press is a small bookstore, it has a nice children's section, with lots of books for kids and even graphic novels (my personal favorite). There is something for everyone here.
