1 Pancake Cafe Combo
Diele K.

When working in Jacksonville, I ordered Uber Eats to the office for a nice bit of breakfast while training. I've heard good things about Keke's Breakfast Cafe and specifically, their pancakes. What I Ordered: - Orange Juice: your typical orange juice. - Pancake: pretty good, but definitely had better at another mom & pop cafe this trip. - Over Easy Eggs: cooked well, and survived while on the journey over via Uber Eats. - Potatoes: these were decent, but nothing stood out about these versus any other breakfast joint. Overall, a decent meal at the comfort of my desk. I'd order here again if I'm sent back to Jacksonville for work. Worth checking out if in the area.

Very large portions, the pancakes were amazing! Very soft and the biggest ones I've seen in my life, but the French toast was a little dry. The sausage and bacon are pretty good as well!

Apple-Cinnamon Stuffed French Toast

Keke's Breakfast I thought would be in like of 1st Watch but it's more like Bob Evan's or Dennys. The inside of the restaurant is CLEAN with plenty of choices to sit. The menu is APPEALING. There are many options to choose from for breakfast or brunch. The Kids Menu also has descent. The food is SUBPAR. I could have done better at home. My order: French Toast with scrambled eggs and sliced tomatoes. The French Toast had an enticing presentation but the bread was HARD. I tried to drizzle in syrup to soften it until I gave up all together. I asked for scrambled eggs but I received a FLAT egg patty that taste DRY and reminded me of McDonald's. The tomato slices were hard and FRESH and the best part of my meal :-(. My drink was a sangria. It was OKAY. I'm convinced it was made with grape juice not wine. It was served picturesque and made for a nice pic. The service was not memorable. Overall, just a SIMPLE 3 STARS. Do not expect much here. The food is EDIBLE though.

First time visiting and eating at keke's breakfast and it did not disappoint! I was craving for French toast and luckily keke's has French toast and even better they have stuffed French toast! I ordered the Nutella with banana but instead of banana I got strawberry and it was amazing! I also ordered the scrambler bowl and omg! It's the best! My husband ordered the Greek omelette and he said it was very good as well! Rona was our server and she did an amazing job! She was very quick and nice. This location is located at the shopping center at San Jose, definitely lots of parking spot. I also believe that this location is new which works for us since it is the closest Kekes breakfast! This will be now our go to restaurant place from now on

Stuffed French toast
Queen B.

This was my very first time at Keke's and Donte was my server. We had excellent service. The turkey sausage was cold in the middle but Sonte quickly replaced my sad pale sausage with some crispy bacon. I ordered the strawberry stuffed French Toast and it was the perfect start to my day. I highly recommend that you visit early if not, be prepared to wait for a table.

Good food
Matthew B.

Some mornings just feel like a reward for showing up in life--and this was one of them. A mountain of crispy bacon piled next to perfectly seasoned potatoes loaded with melty cheese and smoky goodness--every bite tasted like someone in that kitchen actually cared about your morning. The French toast was golden, buttery, dusted in powdered sugar, and paired with a scoop of butter that melted into happiness. Hot sauce options ready for action, strong diner coffee poured without asking, and ice water keeping pace--simple things done exceptionally well. No pretension. No nonsense. Just comfort food that reminds you why breakfast is the most hopeful meal of the day. If you're having a tough week--this place will fix it. I left full, happy, caffeinated...

is was our first time here and was very excited to try something new. I will start with the service. Our server (out of respect will not use the name) was not as attentive to say the least. The server saw the eggs were fried and not over easy and the pancakes were over cooked but rather than having the cook redo it he brought it out, acknowledged the situation and to their credit offered to redo it. A true professional would not have brought it out knowing up front was wrong. I will say the young lady who took out ticket was great!! She was geniune with her smile and friendly.

Cheese Steak Omelet
Jennifer T.

We went to Keke's for lunch and had a short wait, but once our name was called, we were seated right away. Our server greeted us promptly, took our drink order, and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. When she brought our drinks, I told her I couldn't decide what to order and asked for her recommendation. She suggested the steak omelet with home potatoes and a side of cinnamon roll pancakes--and let me tell you, it was one of the best meals I've ever had at Keke's! Our server was fantastic--she kept our drinks filled, checked in often, and even made sure we were all set after we'd paid and lingered at the table chatting for a bit. If you're not sure what to order, definitely give the steak omelet a try. You won't be disappointed!

Chicken salad with cold fried chicken
Sylvia W.

This is a very disappointing review that I'm writing. First, we were told 10 minute wait time. We were seated rather quickly. The restaurant was busy but not too busy. The waitress was very nice and polite. Our order was taken quickly too. I ordered make my own combo 2 French toast eggs and bacon. He order a fried chicken salad. Here's where it went down hill. They did not have Dr Pepper and the Root Beer was not good. They didn't have clean knives due to dishwasher issues. We were given plastic silverware to use the knives. The food took a very long time to arrive. By the time the food arrived, his chicken was cold. They cooked him some fresh chicken. By the time he got his chicken for his salad, I was finished with my breakfast. The waitress was very sympathetic and kept checking on us. I am writing this review while he is eating. He is so disappointed, we may not return.

Blueberry Pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon.
Brandon A.

The ambiance was nice. The wait was short. Greeted very politely. The lighting was nice. The decor was on point. It was a bit warm in there, but it was a hot day. We had Jill as a server and wow was she entertaining. We will definitely sit in her section again. The menu was what you would expect from a breakfast place. I had the blueberry pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs. It was delicious. We will definitely be eating here again soon.

Combo plates banana, pecan, Carmel French toast and apple cinnamon French toast. 2/23/26
Michelle T.

What a yummy breakfast! Started off with Peach Bellini, very simple but delicious. Love the fact you can get a combo with any flavor of pancake, waffle or French toast (1 or 2 pieces) with eggs and meat. Eggs cooked perfectly and the banana, pecan, caramel French toast was perfection. Service was prompt and our hostess was very attentive. Clean and loved the booth concept as it really tones down all the conversations (was packed for Sunday breakfast). Definitely recommend for a very wonderful breakfast. Need to come back and try lunch.

Rose L.

Great breakfast and lunch menu!! So good. We tried the omlette and salad along with cheesy grits!! So yummy!!

Apple cinnamon waffle
Brittaney Z.

Sat down right away. We ordered drinks and our food. I had ordered a hot tea but she didn't bring sugar, I had to ask for it. And she only brought one kind not even sugar substitutes. Once we got our food, we had to ask for utensils, they should have been at the table or brought with food. The food was not amazing just ok. Our server acted like she was either rushed or not fully there. Even if you're having a bad day, you don't show it to your customers. It wasn't super busy, but it also wasn't dead. I gave the vibe of relaxing brunch place.

Oops, started to eat before I took a photo of the Southwest Omelet....

I wrote a review on the Nordstrom Ebar around 4 years ago so this may be updated a little. I always…read moreenjoy visiting the Ebar more than any other coffee outlet on the St. John's Town Center campus. Why? It's because it's the only place in JAX I know where I can get a Mexican mocha (hot or cold) latte - and they've always been good. I hoped to walk around for a little bit on this day, but after getting from the parking lot through Nordstrom's then to the Apple Store, any hopes of walking much further were abandoned. It was destiny Ebar at that point. I will say that customer service has always been pretty special here. It was no different today and the barista who took the order made good suggestions and got everything spot on. It was busy for a while before I got there, but lightened up fairly quickly after that. This isn't the largest coffee shop around but has decent seating inside and a good-sized patio section outside in front of the Nordstrom's department store and along side of the Ebar. There is some seating variety both indoors and outdoors. Inside has mostly wooden tables and chairs but there are a few upholstered chairs on the far side of the shop. The tables and chairs outdoors are mainly metal. But there are some softer upholstered couches out there too. Hard to use on a 92 degree day, but still some people do exactly that! My disappointment with the Mexican mocha ice storm this time around was that it was overly sweetened. When I can't taste any coffee in a beverage of this type I know it's a sugar load and can make me think twice before ever visiting again. I will say, though a little expensive, the turkey croissant was pretty good. Make sure you get it heated if you get one! The Ebar, like most things at Town Center are pricey. But I still like coming down here for my San Diego feeling with the Mex mochas and then visit my favorite shops. The Ebar really is a terrific shop with excellent service. Don't be afraid to visit!

The food was a 5/10. Not much flavor at all. Only thing we liked was the balsamic dressing, the side salad and the orange as a side, hehe. The espresso tasted burnt. The coconut latte did not taste like coconut at all. I had high expectations for this place but we did not like the food here. They had very nice interior designing, so it is good for pictures!

And for the price, I wanted a little more than "well, I ate." We ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and Seasonal Breakfast Bowl, and neither gave me a reason to want to order them again. Service -- 3/5 Stars The service was fine. Our server was nice, but I do wish he would've checked on our table more often. Our Colombian coffees arrived cold and honestly weren't good at all. It took quite a while before we were able to catch our server and let him know so we could order something different. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with his attitude; the service just didn't feel very engaged or attentive. It felt more like we were an afterthought than a table actively being taken care of. Ambiance -- 1/5 Stars It's Another Broken Egg Cafe, so I wasn't exactly expecting some elaborate, curated vibe. It's a chain, and that's perfectly fine. What I wasn't expecting was the smell when we walked in. It smelled unpleasant enough that my first instinct was genuinely to turn around and leave. We stayed, but between that and the otherwise standard chain-restaurant atmosphere, there wasn't much about the ambiance I enjoyed. Overall -- 2/5 Stars Overall...yeah, I don't think we'd return. Cold coffee, lackluster food, and service that felt like an afterthought made the entire experience pretty underwhelming. Nothing was so outrageously terrible that I have a dramatic story to tell. It was almost worse than that--it was just incredibly forgettable. For nearly $50 for breakfast for two, I need a little more than "it was food." What We Ordered: Cinnamon Roll French Toast -- $18.18 Seasonal Breakfast Bowl -- $16.49 Side of Salsa -- $0.99 2 Colombian Coffees -- $7.98 Total: $46.91
