Came here to enjoy brunch with some friends and everyone had such a nice time here! It's cozy and has an inviting atmosphere when you walk through the doors. All the employees, including the owner, were very friendly and we didn't feel rush at all as we were catching up with each other. I got their Florentine Eggs Benedict and was impressed by how much spinach there was on there. I love that they didn't skimp out on it! However, there was way too much hollandaise sauce for me so I did have to scrape at least half of it off, but that's just personal preference. My friends' got eggs benedicts as well and they loved the amount of hollandaise they had. It was just such a flavorful dish overall. Very happy with this place and highly recommend!

I've ordered the strawberry Nutella crepes from here before they were full of Nutella and strawberries. Today I ordered it for takeout and when i came home, it was empty crêpes with strawberries thrown on on top with a drizzle of Nutella. when I called them to complain the woman on the phone gaslight us and told us that "oh you have to ask for the Nutella inside when you order it we always just do Nutella on top." No, I wouldn't have ordered it again if you only did Nutella on top. Also, she says that you have to specify that you want Nutella inside when we ordered it, why didn't she ask us over the phone if we wanted the Nutella on the outside or on the inside? it's really really really messed up to have a person at a restaurant gaslight you over food you've had there before just because they don't wanna admit to bad service.

Stopped for brunch while we were visiting my mother in law. My wife and kids had been here several times, but it was my first. Great skillet!! Very large selection of breakfast and lunch options. I'm looking forward to going back to try either the crepes or a burger. Love that you have the option of either toast or pancakes with some of the breakfasts.

Wow! What a meal after a great workout this morning! Thank you to my waitress for expertly taking my order of Ka-Ya-Na with my requests. Thank you to the chefs who delivered and did not disappoint. The restaurant has a new, fresh look with a home town friendliness. I enjoyed speaking with the owner and waitress & giving the thumbs up to the chefs. Their smile was worth the visit.

Food isn't bad but, the website is horrible and no updated menu with prices.For The area they charge too much and the portions are small.Even coffee is expansive. The food was pretty good, portions were small, the costumer service was good.

First time we came to this restaurant. Used to go to the previous place. Their redecorating is very cute and cheery. The farmhoiuse l chic is very in style. The hostess was very pleasant. I had the plain crepes. They are my go to and I try them at every local restaurant as my barometer. (For dinner places it is calamari. Haha) The crepes were a perfect texture. Not too rubbery and not too eggs. I suggest they put in a touch a vanilla to elevate the flavor, but I still loved them with just maple syrup. My husband had the western omelet and he enjoyed it. The veggies were very crunchy. He liked it but that is not typical nor expected. We brought the hashbrowns home, but they look good. The coffee was very good for a small dinner. Service was super fast, but it was a Tuesday morning at 9:30 am. We will definitely be returning. Would love if they did potato pancakes from scratch. Also a breakfast panini. Their menu was of a decent size. Don't get me wrong. And they did have plenty of creativity. I'm just offering up ideas.

This was my first time here with my mom, I was looking for a new breakfast place to try and came across this Jem. From the outside it looks just like any other breakfast place but, from the inside the decoration was a farmhouse style. The staff from greeter, busybody, to waitress were all super friendly. We felt welcomed. Our food was all great. But the sourdough was awesome. A must try. I will be back.

Very nicely decorated with new Farmhouse style walls. There are more tables than you think inside, so if it looks crowded park and go inside because you will most likely get a table.The staff was pleasant and Santa Claus stopped by while we were there too! He also had one of the elves with him passing out candy!!My omelette was the perfect size and I was able to substitute and get a side of fruit!The club was huge! The crepes yummy!

Excellent diner experience. Friendly servers, food was up quick and was good. I like a place like this that offers soup before your meal. Only downside was sitting next to the big window, it was pretty chilly at our table and it was probably 30 degrees outside.. can't imagine sitting there when the temps are much lower than that.
