Jim's Cafe is that kind of neighbourhood breakfast diner - hearty, honest, and affordable. The menu is relatively reasonably priced, offering solid comfort food without a big bill. I ordered the Farmer's Breakfast (not too oily!), and it was good! The shredded hash browns is a must try! It's not fine dining - if you're after a modern, Instagram-worthy café, this isn't quite it, BUT if you want BIG portions, FRIENDLY service (service was actually quick, but I never felt rushed as a customer), and classic comfort food in a relaxed, local spot, this is definitely worth a visit! read more

Another neighborhood hidden gem. Great little old diner. You could tell they pay no attention to the decor but all the love and care to their food and customers. We ordered a Denver Omelette, and a burger with chicken noodle soup. Everything is really good. I love a good hash brown and the hash browns here have me hooked. Even the burger Nd the chicken noodle soup were delicious. I'd highly recommend! read more

Our go to for good ol' diner breakfast. Don't expect anything fancy. Old decor, seats, and tables but the food is good and reasonably priced. We always forget to take a photo because we immediately inhale the food upon arrival. Service is decent, no chitter chatter, they take your order and you get the food. I do see them chatting a bit to their regulars though. They're quite friendly. Denver omelette 5/5. Big fluffy portion packed with filling. Comes with their ridiculously crispy hash browns and toast. Super burger 5/5. I know it's a basic burger but it's done right. It's seasoned nicely with just the right amount of cheese, mushrooms, and other toppings. I got it with a hearty bowl of chicken noodle. I havent tried their fries yet, I should one day. I'd get this over white spot any day! No muss, no fuss, good old dinner vibes. We love it. read more

Really tasty farmers breakfast. Place was lovely and clean, service was top class. 5 out of 5 stars

Hole in the wall mom and pop diner. Great place to grab a hearty breakfast for a good deal. Service is friendly, portions are big and food comes fast. Food wasn't too oily and they take credit cards. read more

Food: 3.5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Value: 4 Stars The good reviews are no accident: this place has good food, decent portions and still manages good service even with the busy atmosphere and "roadhouse place" feel. There's breakfast dishes that not many other places do, notably the corned beef hash. Their vegetarian breakast was pretty filling. They get the eggs right. My only complaint - a common one from this type of place- food was on the salty side. Service was great desite it being busy. One of the more spacious booths cleared up and they offered to move us into it, aware that my partner had mobility issues. read more

A hole in a wall, but this place does not disappoint! The food was tasty and handmade! Absolutely loved that type of diner! Definitely coming back for the soft service, easy food options, and very affordable! read more

Cozy place. A welcoming "Hello" when we entered, even though Jim's was bustling. Within minutes hot tea wasserved in a pot atop the cup. Warming the cup makes all the difference in the world! The scrambled eggs were light & tasty, bacon crispy, the sourdough toast was flavourful. Floor is carpeted so the noise didn't get out of hand the way it does in some places. JIM'S CAFE 6th st. was right up my alley!! read more

We hadn't been back in a while -- now I know why. The lighting is depressing -- dark and sad. The service is non-existant. The place is small and the server walks back and forth without even making eye contact so I could get a coffee refill. There are a couple more servers gabbing at the kitchen. The food, however, is not bad. Breakfast tasted good. The coffee tasted ok. I'm giving this a 2 star review, because I value service AND good food. read more

Had a major miscommunication. I'm the type of gal that likes her hollandaise on the side. Not because I"m crazy about fat content, but rather because I hate soggy food. In this case, there was a miscommunication with our waitress who was not a native English speaker. She thought when I said "sauce on the side" I meant sausage. It's not that much of a stretch so I let it go and just moved my food around so it wouldn't get too soggy. DH reported his food felt heavy, greasy, and that the portion size was a little much. He gets the same breakfast at Amelia and never feels heavy from it, so I suspect it was the grease. Service otherwise was solid. Pricing was a few bucks higher than Amelia too, so I suspect Amelia will remain our mainstay for a quick (albeit not the most healthy) breakfast. read more

I have been going here for a while now. I love the breakfast here, portions are good, staff is friendly and price is awesome. They also have burgers and soups and sandwiches. They have kids menu which is good as the regular menu portions are too much for kids. read more

I have a soft spot for breakfast diners. I came here weeks ago with a friend of mine who was from out of town who wanted to shoot the shit and just chill. She was staying in the New West area, therefore, it was easier for her to stay in the area then go Downtown which is understandably. I found this place initially on Google using the search "breakfast diner New West" which lead me to some of these reviews here on Yelp. The ambiance is your typical diner feel, simple and laid back. The prices are very reasonable for what it is, as breakfasts should be. I had a long list of specifications in accordance to my eating plan. I appreciate the waitress was patient with me in making certain accommodations. I got the basic of soft poached eggs, toast and side hash half order. My girlfriend got the Farmer's Breakfast which reminds me of the Grand Slam...but better quality. read more

The service was great the staff friendly. Otherwise, please do not enter this place. Turn around and leave. It was by far the most disgusting, cheap breakfast food I've ever had and has quite honestly deterred me from trying anywhere new. We had a few bites of our food, paid and left it was that bad. The hash browns tasted like cardboard and the omelet was burned to just a disgusting mess. I had the egg muffin and I can't even describe it. It's cheap but you are literally getting what you pay for. read more

Very good diner style brunch food. Got the regular breakfast and the sausage and hash browns were the highlights. They do the regular breakfast well, but f you want something more unique this is not the place to do that. read more

There isn't much to say about this place. It's a greasy spoon that serves a decent greasy breakfast. The food, service, and decor aren't going to blow you away, but if you're hung over and broke, this place has you covered. read more

Best sandwiches are made here! My wife love the breakfast sunny side eggs bacon hash brown with unlimited coffee setting. She is probably the most picky person about food on the planet. Anyways, she loves this place and I always felt like other places like dim sum or a big bowl of morning pho. Everytime I got there and start eating, I have never regreted going there. First of all, great coffee. We pretty much drank 2.5 cups each before our food came. I got the shrimp salad sandwich which had large pieces of prawn in it! Super tender and the toast were crispy I give it a 8.8/10. I also ordered a side of hash brown and I was glad that I did. Its no comparison with Dennys hash brown. Big portion for the side hash, crispy and delicious. Of course wifey got her eggs and bacon. The bill came to $26 as I recall, something I can enjoy every morning. read more

Love this place, I get the farmers breakfast every time, and it's the best breakfast for its price in town. Try it read more

Best bang for your buck breakfast in town. Stay away from amelias, they make look similar but the quality is very different. We come here almost every week, always happy. read more

Great typical local breakfast place. Immigrant people trying hard to just make a go of it. I like the place.

After a night of drinking at too many places I couldn't tell time the next morning. I arrived over a hour early to my morning hockey game and noticed I was shaking a bit. Hmm food would be good and I walked around new Westminster searching for a diner. I yelped a close by place and was sat promptly. Decor is a one but that's what I want. I ordered the farmers plate which was $6.50 (the basic $3.95 breakfast wasn't enough for me) and a coffee. I ordered right away as the place was 3/4 full and my food arrived in less than 10mins. The hash browns were crispy yet fluffy inside and absolutely not soaked with oil or butter. The eggs were also not basted with oil and was cooked over easy. The three meats were of good quality and my coffee was refilled in a timely manner. The breakfast came to $9.75 plus tip. Looks like a family run place. I'll give the food a four out of five and overall a three. Thanks for being there! I'll come by for lunch another visit. read more

Went in for breakfast with friends, after 5 minutes we were not offered coffee so I had to stop the waiter to ask for it. After that the order was taken quickly. I noticed they had cheese burger on special so I opted for that instead of the farmer's breakfast. Big mistake. When it came to the table we all just stared at it. The burger was scorched, the American cheese was not melted, it looked awful. My companions told me to send it back but I did not want to cause a scene and I thought it may taste better than it looked. 2nd mistake I made. I took 2 bites then pushed the plate away. The farmer's breakfasts served to my friends looked delicious. I have enjoyed Jim's previously but this has put me off returning. What a shame. read more

Friendly staff. Nice homestyle breakfast. I'm here practically every Sunday morning.

THIS is the first review for us in our new hood. We are moving to New West and are eager to try out every restaurant we can. Jim's Cafe was one we stumbled into the day of our move. We were hungry and tired, and this place really satisfied our immediate need... good food, reasonable price and fast service. We got all three. Impressed with the burger, as was my partner with his clubhouse sandwich, but it was the homemade chicken noodle soup that was amazing. It was raining that day so it really did hit the spot. The decor, however, screams "Restaurant Makeover" but that's really not what you go into a cafe like this for anyway... Straight forward with no pretense. We're hooked. read more

Reasonable service, price, food. Feels like and old school diner. Could use a renovation to attract more customers.

I got the Denver omelette and coffee ! Such a big portion and delicious breakfast food. Also it's probably one of the most budget-friendly breakfast place. read more

Your average greasy breakfast food. Recommend if hungover. Not a place you need to go out of your way for.

Get the Jim's Bun. Perfectly fried egg, bacon, some other stuff, on a squishy hamburger bun. Giant pile of fruit on the side. Impossible to go wrong. read more

Have been there 10 times or so the prices are good and so is the food although the stringy hashbrowns are kind of disgusting they ended up in the trash where they belong read more

These guys know how to cook breakfast. Everything on my "Farmers Breakfast" plate was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back for more. read more

I lived in New West at 6 and 6 for a year and a half and never went in the door. Unfortunately. Now I live in Deep Cove but I still get into New West about once a month to see doctor, eye doctor, shop and see friends. One day I decided "enough with MacDonalds, lets try Jim's across the street." The cheese burger and fries were a special for $6.25. Delicious! Excellent! And I take some exception to those one or two who said "greasy", not what the vast majority have written and I have never had a greasy anything here. Just good simple cafe food that totally satisfies. Service is great, they try hard to please. I literally cannot visit NewWest without stopping in at Jim's. Maybe the couple of people who weren't impressed are young and spoiled and don't even know what a cafe actually is. I'm old and I remember when "cafes" were everywhere, some good some bad. This is a real cafe and a damn good one....... read more

its ok. you get what you pay for. tried to eat here several times, but always seemed to be closed. so, get there by 430 if you want a cheap-ish meal. when i did finally make it during business hours, i found the prices reasonable for the value rec'd. service lacking, but i didnt go there for the hospitality, so i wasnt surprised at the servers indifference . read more
