Jester's Café: Reviews & Ratings
Second time here. So delicious! We shared the smoked salmon Benedict and the Cuban sandwich. Both hit the spot! And, the black eyed pea salad as a side was fresh and surprisingly yummy! We capped off our brunch with Just Peachy and Poinsettia mimosas. We left with happy bellies and spirits. Highly recommend Jester’s Cafe!
Wayne was FABULOUS!! He was the best at offering details of the food, and more than delightful!! Also, he remembered Trish’s birthday...with every greeting! BUT....the food was AMAZING!!! Get the black eyed pea salad, for real!! The asparagus and Gouda quiche was mouth watering delish!! We had peach mimosas that were poured beautifully and tasted divine! Club sandwich and Le Monsiuer hit the spot. The grilled chicken salad...was yummy, but the white vinaigrette dressing took us out!! Every. Single. Thing. Was. Perfect!!!! ... don’t pass by this little gem, we are so so SO glad that Wiz led us there!!
Came here with my parents for a quick lunch before a game at Good Lie. The exterior was inviting and when we got inside we were struck by the vivid colors. We were kind of starving and tired when we arrived and the food we enjoyed changed our whole vibe. I loved my quiche and potato salad! I loved the artwork throughout the space and read about the artist afterwards and it made the space even more special. thank you jester cafe for sharing your brightness with us.
Great brunch today. This was my first time here. Definitely will make this my new go place. Reminds me of a few places in Nashville..Definitely a place to eat, and have a glass of
Jess let us in last minute, so kind and welcoming and we found out hands down the BEST breakfast... the Le Monsieur, pancakes, grits, Mimosa...we'll be back!
***Updates: went again today. We had the Cuban sandwich, smoked salmon Benedict, and mimosas. Absolutely phenomenal food and service! We were so happy to have another great experience with a staff that is clearly passionate about their craft. I can’t wait to go again soon!!! And if you have a wait for a table there is a great wine bar next door!*** What a wonderful little restaurant. After Valentine's Day, my lady and I desperately needed a savory breakfast/brunch. We found Jester's...parking was easy, the staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the food was perfect. I had the french toast casserole and the girlfriend had the lox bagel. Both dishes were phenomenal! My only critique would be that the coffee was just mediocre and they don't serve bloody Mary's. Other than those small issues, this is a must! We WILL be back for sure!!!!
Best atmosphere, I feel. Jess, my server is filled with great energy. The avocado on toast, with 2 poached eggs tasted perfect in the right way.
Great service. The strata was quite decadent. They were so on it with the refills my coffee was never more than half empty. Lovely and quiet the day I was there. It felt like Mary Poopins bag - small on the outside but big on the inside.
