Jim’s Cafe

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

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

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 Café 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 décor, however, screams «Restaurant Makeover» but that’s really not what you go into a café like this for anyway… Straight forward with no pretense. We’re hooked.

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

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

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.

This is a shabby mom and pop diner most should skip for the clean mall across the street with a descent food court. Its unbelievably quiet in here and the food can be unbelievably bad. The ham and cheese sandwich served is the worst you could possibly hope for, made up of 1 thinly sliced piece of ham between layers of fucking cheeze whiz on lightly toasted white bread. I seriously re considered my choice of avoiding McDonalds at the sight and taste of that one.
However, their french toast breakfast managed to be perfectly mediocre. I had to add salt to give the dish any flavor, even with their runny syrup. The over easy eggs were cooked to order, so congratulations on that
Service was very quick, but when we walked in asking to see a menu they were incredibly rude and demanded we just use the one between us. We almost wouldn’t have stayed if it wasn’t for their pretty looking breakfast arrangements. Too bad the taste doesn’t match the sight of the food, more aptly it matches the old yellow paint and dilapidated booths. Boo.

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 Unilocaled a close by place and was sat promptly. Décor 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 ¾ 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.
