My girl friends and I went for brunch today. We were initially hoping to try their tapas, but that isn't until 4pm. We ordered the brunch instead, it came out quickly and food was good, but not any different from a lot of brunch that you can have anywhere else. However, I will not be going back here. We saw that an old man (caucasian,mid 50s,short white hair) was recording us eating and hanging out and I believe he had heard us talking about it and stopped. his cell phone camera was pointed at our table with the screen away from his face. There was no way for him to be looking at his phone. Once we had started talking about it he had not had his phone in that same position for the rest of the meal. Since this was a new experience for us, I wish we had gone about things much differently. After some debating, we had told one of the baristas about it. We were disappointed to find that he is, in fact, a regular. Nothing was done and we got out as quick as we can without speaking to this man. Again, there are many things I wish we could've done differently, but this is what happened. Do not come to this place where there are creeps who come here regularly. I am upset knowing that there is a video of us eating out there. read more

We ordered through Uber eats. The app told us the food was ready so we came to pick it up. The employee told us they forgot to put in the order and to come back in 10 minutes. We did that, and 10 minutes later we were told the order still hadn't been put in, and we needed to wait 15 more minutes. We asked for a refund, they told us that wasn't possible, so we waited 15 more minutes, at the bar, right near where they take the orders. 25 minutes later we asked about our food and they STILL hadn't placed the order. I don't know how this place is still in business , nor do I care if the food is good or not. If they can't even place the order it doesn't really matter does it? We never got our food. read more

My luck isn't so great with this place. Went to brunch for the first time last week and we split the eggs Florentine and French toast. They looked good when they came, and weren't terrible, but not up to par. As much as I don't like things drowned in hollandaise sauce, I'm not sure there was any on the eggs dish. Maybe a dab, flavor good otherwise but that's half the reason of getting a Benedict style dish. Potatoes not too exciting. But the travesty was the "French toast". I put butter on it when it came and nothing melted, zero warmth to the dish. And as we ate it, we wondered if anything was dipped in egg and grilled. I'm doubtful. The saving grace was it was a very tasty cinnamon bread so we just ate it with butter as if we'd cut it from a loaf. Actually a steak knife would have been useful, the crusts were pretty tough. Whatever, I don't get French toast (or pancakes) often and it always seems to disappoint, as did this experience in general. read more

Food was good for classic brunch food. Service was friendly and quick, and we were seated quickly without reservation on the weekend. If you're looking for a brunch with a wide variety of options, check it out! read more

JPizle Kitchen - AVOCADO BRIOCHE TOAST & EGGS WITH MACADAMIA BUTTER - Colombian Near Me - Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts

Got take-out dinner from their Columbian menu, and were very happy with it. The 'tapas' dishes were each fairly substantial for the most part, no skimpy portions here, and there's plenty variety here to satisfy any palate- plus most of the dishes we ordered involved some kind of potato, which I'm always a big fan of (the actual potatoes were better than their fries though IMO, I'm not sure the fries are housemade). Their beans and rice were especially flavorful, the chicken juicy, and the mustard-based sauce (their house Columbian sauce I believe?) that was on a few items was really tasty. Plus the staff seem very nice (came to say hi to my pup, which is always a good sign in my book). Would recommend- will need to try their breakfast diner food next. Hate the name JPizle though- how about a name change to something like Columbiana Diner instead? read more

Food was good. Service was decent. Biggest downside for our experience is that we walked in from 80+ degree temps outside to an oven inside. The table was sticky. Workers and other patrons were seen sweating while sitting. They took authenticity to another level here in JP. Would honestly come back in the winter, fingers crossed that it's nice and cool inside. read more

I would die for JPizle. Food was super good, and the staff was very nice. The bathroom also smelled like marshmallows. Get the coco muy loco Bom brunch! read more

great food awful service waited 45 min for our bill after trying to grab our server's (or really anyone's) attention. for our group of 4, we got charged an auto gratuity of 20%, despite menu clearly saying auto 18% on parties of 6 or more. we brought it up to our server and they said that that's standard but then we brought it up again and had to do another bill. felt like we caught them trying to pull something fast and not a great feeling. really loved the food but not coming back read more

The food was good. We got some chocolate pancakes and their version of eggs benedict. However, it was warm by the time it got to us. Our drink orders were taken 20 minutes after we sat down and then delivered 20 minutes later. Service was not it this morning, and when compared to others that arrived at the same time, they were already eating. Oh, and gratuity is included. Don't miss that. read more

I went to order lunch the cook and waiter were so rude to me. I ordered take out it came out slow I had to rush back to work where I wouldn't be able to eat so I asked to have a few bites because I'm pregnant and I wouldn't have been able to eat my lunch if I waited to go back to work. I wasn't going to sit there and eat the whole meal just a couple of bites because I was hungry, pregnant, and hadn't eaten yet all day. If it wasn't slow I wouldn't have even asked because I would have had enough time to go back to work and eat like I had planned. The waiter and cook were so rude and unkind to me even though I paid and tipped. They berated me to the point of making me cry. I will never go back here and I can't believe there are people so unkind working in a service industry. The host was really sweet though. read more

This is our favorite neighborhood eatery. The staff are awesome and genuinely friendly. Some of the kindest souls among us. Breakfast is my favorite meal any time of day and I can keep it light and simple or as indulgent as I feel. My recent cheeseburger, with cheddar cheese, is a mouth watering experience. Thick and juicy with Fries and a lemonade, in the afternoon. That's living right there! Come hear the Sizzle at JPizzle!!! read more

Highly recommend!!! The food, service and atmosphere do not disappoint! Highly recommend the tapas menu so you can try many things!

Really wanted to get some breakfast before heading into work and this was conveniently on the way. I got the Centre St. Breakfast: Cons: I didn't like the home fries (something about the specific potato used does not make for yummy home fries, plus there was NO seasoning), also, they charge an extra $1.50 for 1 cut up strawberry on my French toast -_- Pros: the food was ready in less than 15 minutes so I wasn't late for work! Overall: average experience for an above average price. read more

Transparency is key with me. I'm allergic to pork and noted it. A staff member called to inform me that their home-fries is fried in the same oil as the pork they serve. This is huge for me. Well done! I can't wait to eat your food and provide future business! Ps, I never post a review prior to consumption of product. That's how much I appreciate ya! Stay classy! read more

This breakfast spot with Columbian influences doubles as a tapas restaurant in the afternoon and offer an extensive menu! To start we had some fresh squeezed OJ! For food we had this bomb omelette, The Colombian omelette. In it you'll find dices hot dogs, tomatoes, cheese, and heres the kicker- SWEET PLANTAINS! The sweet plantains definitely add that hing of sweetness to cut the savory goodness of the omelette. Next we had the Steak and Eggs dish. Steak was perfectly and seasoned well, I would've liked a little more saucy goodness but it was still good! The home fries were seasoned to the gawds and had a great texture to them, not too soft or too crunchy! All in all a nice little breakfast spot to hit before starting your day read more

I ordered them to be delivered, 2 food dishes and 3 drinks. It was delivered early. The pancakes were rock hard and just had globs of syrup piled on it. The egg sandwich was raw bread, eggs cooked wrong and spilled out of the container getting the whole bag wet with runny egg. Raw spinach, completely brown avocado. The coffee cups smelled like cigarette smoke, like what the fuck? The coffee was loaded with sugar. Best part was that it was toted with pride for being "delivered early." Like no shit it was it looked like it was made with your eyes closed while trying to do a speed run for mediocre food. I wish I could give it less stars. read more

I used to come here every week for breakfast but have had to stop. It has been under new management for about a year and I've given them the benefit of the doubt but cannot anymore. The service is slow and chaotic, and the food is slow. On a regular basis I will watch them seat parties of "regulars" ahead of other parties the same size. Maybe I need to die my hair pink so I'm a more recognizable "regular". I'll even come in and wait to put my name down and they will not come take my name until a recognizable regular comes in behind me, and then they will attempt to take that name first. They will lie and say "oh sorry, I accidentally missed your name", "they were older so they needed a table first", or just blatantly try and get them seated secretly ahead of other parties. It is really unfortunate because I loved this place. ***Update after owners reply: Your staff absolutely, intended to treat "regulars" differently. They admitted to it and then immediately tried to seat me when I asked them about it (ahead of other parties). You need to talk to your staff. read more

At this point I've posted reviews of dozens of brunch places, and JPizle kitchen didn't disappoint. I'm always a fan of menu options that allow for pancakes and eggs combined, so I got to try some scrambled eggs and their buttermilk pancakes, both of which were great. The homefries that were part of my partner's benedict were crispy and delicious. We got easy seating during Saturday brunch and the prices weren't exorbitant. The coffee wasn't my favorite and no one came around for refills which is my only complaint. We'll be back! read more

Great neighborhood spot. Very good food, menu, drinks. Great staff. Nice crowd. Highly recommended read more

Waiter Elijah is a lot of fun. Had breakfast there today, and enjoyed the Spanish omelette.

My go-to for brunch on Centre Street in JP! You wouldn't know from the name but it's an adorable & delicious Colombian cafe complete with signature offerings, some American standby's, excellent coffee, cocktails, and some fun unique drinks to try like the aguapanela and oranges juiced on site. It's never crowded, brunch menu all day until 9pm in case you very seriously slept in, and a lovely relaxed ambience. Highly recommend! read more

My local breakfast spot. Love this place!! Friendly servers, best home fries. Friendly neighborhood spot

The restaurant isn't as clean as a restaurant should be. I met a friend for breakfast and our omelettes and pancakes were blonde and not very hot. The side of home fries was a very small amount but that ended up working in my favor as they lacked flavor or crispness. They were oily. The pancakes were the most disappointing aspect as they were blonde in color but tough and chewy, tasting of a boxed mix (I imagine a cheap Bisquick-knockoff.) My black coffee wasn't very good either. Everything tasted low-quality. Just an overall poor experience that I will not repeat nor will I recommend. read more

Nice breakfast spot in JP. Typical diner. My one complaint is it took forever to get my food! It was busy so I'm not too upset! I sat at the bar and chatted with the staff while I waited! They didn't serve alcohol at the time however they said they were working on it lol! If you need a quick breakfast in cute little neighborhood spot try this place! read more

Had an amazing experience overall. We came in during a busy time on Sunday and was given a homewarming experience dining here. Service was excellent and there were plenty of options to choose from on the menu. I recommend the combination plate where you get eggs, meat, home fries, toast, and pancakes or French toast. read more

Awesome service, great food choices, and nice music. This spot is good in the morning or night time. Great michaeladas with bacon topping.

food was amazing, service was the worst service i have ever had. we finished our food and our waitress collected one of our three plates and just never came back. we made eye contact w her and tried to call her multiple times and she continued to ignore us even tho was was standing right next to us. we waited for 45 minutes to just ask for the check. even after, they automatically added a 20% gratuity without telling us. the menu clearly states automatic 18% for parties of 6 but there was only 4 of us dining. unacceptable, seemed like they were trying to scam us and give us bad service because they thought we werent going to notice. read more

Ordered on uber eats, " butter milk pancakes" tasted like frozen store bought pancakes! "Nutella" on my pancakes was probably a Hershey chocolate syrup, did not taste like Nutella at all. I also had scrambled eggs which where watery and had no flavor. I would definitely never recommend anyone to order on Uber eats or even Grubhub. This restaurant does not care for those orders and just doesn't have well made food. 0 stars if I could leave it. read more

Came here for breakfast 1pm on a Saturday. Place was crowded but for a party of two we did not have to wait. Got a simple omelette with breakfast potatoes. The omelette was good, had the extra broccoli I asked for and was not oily or greasy. The breakfast potatoes were only a small portion - maybe 5 or 6 in total that had the volume of a quarter on all sides - kind of big. The potatoes were very greasy. I liked the vibe of the restaurant, its decoration, and the vast amount of options on the menu. But the quality of the food was a bit of a let down. read more

Food was awesome . No complaints there . Once you walk in, if it's your first time .. which was myself and family's first time, being seated is confusing . You actually sit yourself . I had to go up to someone behind the counter to ask if we just sit ourselves . First time that has ever happened . The waiter we had (forgot his name) , he was an African-American guy though . He was AMAZING!!! He made the atmosphere a vibe itself . Accommodated us very well . We were 9 together . So at first we were put at a booth . Which didn't seem fitting . So once tables and seats became available he switched us quick . So if he's there all the time, I want him as my waiter lol . He was the only waiter. But then it started to get packed and someone from the boh who was cooking started to yell at our waiter . For NO reason . Our waiter explained to him that it was just him and another staff handling the floor . With space limited there wasn't much for the waiter to do . I would say on busy days a host should be present . It's busy enough on a Saturday to have one for sure . I would also suggest maybe getting a time sign or seat sign to let individuals know it may be a 10-15min wait . Instead of having them all come in and stand at the door which is basically them just standing in the middle of the seating area . Other than that I would highly recommend this place . I myself will be back here . I'll try the breakfast next time ! I had the Colombian platter which was awesome. I enjoyed tasting it and realize I needed to take a pic lol . I also tried the Lulo drink . Great and I recommend!! read more

If you go here you MUST TRY the french toast!!! It's made on brioche bread so it is sweet and just delicious! I got the JPizle French toast and my friend got the french toast breakfast. I went back again just a week later to eat the french toast again!! I also cannot say enough kind things about the phenomenal service. The waiter was hilarious and made my entire group laugh while ordering. I'm excited to bring any visitors to this spot for breakfast! I went at 10am on a Saturday and there was no line at all - my group of 6 was seated right away! read more

I saw that they were starting a new Colombian dinner menu, so I came to try it. It runs 5-9 I think. They had a lot of options for tapas, and I believe a few entrees too. I got four dishes plus a dessert, and all of them were delicious. They said they'll have their liquor license soon too. I'll be coming back to try more plates, and I'm bringing all my friends! read more
